MYO-750: Amaryllis

Aletheia was glad the chocolates had gone over well. They wanted to treat Amaryllis some more, no matter what the greed bun said. The punk was dressed normally this time around as they entered Hollyhock & Iris Floral Emporium. They approached the counter and rang the little desk bell. They were taken by surprise when a 4’11” d...

Aletheia was nervous. They had not thought any of this through. Well, that was at least no different than usual. They paced past the door to the chocolate shop again, trying to draw up the courage to walk inside. They had not even decided what chocolates they were buying. They tugged at their sleeves, feeling rather uncomfortable being dressed up. They weren’t used to sleeves, or shirts, but they felt that today nee...

Aletheia decided to come back with Amaryllis, much to the dismay of Amaryllis. The publisher put a smile on her face when she saw Misty and Jackal. Misty laughed and made a comment about needing to make more for supper as the duo came inside. Once dinner was done, everyone sat down to eat. Misty seemed antsy, as if nervous to talk about something on their mind. They were quiet for a while before saying a word. They me...

The week had gone by slowly. Amaryllis had to bring most of the books on birds to Jackal’s. The envy bun was quickly frustrated with the lack of progress… or really it was the lack of response from Mercy that got to her. Not that Ama could blame Jackal. When Jackal mentioned breaking into Mercy’s office, the greed bun wasn’t opposed, but she wanted at least one more “breaking-and-entering” expert with them...

Ama had seen the punk bun wandering about a few times. She was intrigued, but figured that a goth approaching would be a bit off-putting, no matter how similar the attire was to some punk clothes. This is what sent Ama to the stores. She rarely just bought off-the-rack, but she did not wish to bother any tailors, designers, or seamstresses with this task. She was looking through some jeans, but really, she could not s...

After leaving Jackal with Misty, Amaryllis returned to the church early in the morning. She had her trusty inkwell pen, extra ink cartridges, and several journals. She didn’t know what to expect, so she was prepared for anything. She entered the church library and picked a desk to set up at. It was a sturdy, solid wood. She was not well acquainted with types of wood, so she could not appreciate it like a woodworker would. ...

Amaryllis sat on the floor, typing away at her laptop. She was working on a few emails that needed to be sent to various authors about all their projects. Some had months before the deadline, but she did check up on them because they usually turned in a manuscript long before the deadline. Most were a month or mere weeks before their deadlines. Others… Well, they were well past their deadlines. She knew for one, the email wouldn’t work, but she knew better t...

Amaryllis had, by luck, gotten a Stellaram earlier this week. She named it Aurora. Aurora and Maria the Uniqor got along, but Amaryllis had to buy a new fancy pet bed. Not a big deal. She was just happy her imps were good with each other. She was on her way to Quince’s shop, Maria and Aurora on her shoulders. She reached up and carefully petted her imps. They both nuzzled her. She had told them they would be meeting...

Amaryllis had shut the bookstore for the day. She wanted to get to know some of the others in the Burrowgatory. Not that her pale skin tone agreed about being out during the brighter hours. She walked until it was too much for her. Entering the nearest building, she smiled. There were imps everywhere. She wasn’t in the Imporium, these were not the imps that Hutch kept. She remembered when she showed Hutch Maria. It ...

Day 1 I was sent home with a uniqor. She loves to nuzzle. She is currently in my lap as I write. Hutch gave simple instructions, including keeping her from mochi and dango if she is to stay one color. I grabbed a book on imp care from my store so I could read tonight. I am supposed to return to Hutch in a week or if I get overwhelmed. Day 2 The uniqor f...

It was a simple day. Amaryllis had decided to sit outside and read for the afternoon after having spent the morning making calls to her authors. The book she had picked was well worn and one of her favorites. She hummed softly as she turned the page. The day was hot, so she was under a tree with Maria next to her. Even the imp thought it was too warm to be on top of someone. Amaryllis was quickly through the chapter a...

Having found nothing on her phone that sounded good, Amaryllis put it away. She stood again. Stretching, she began to walk the beach. She soon spotted something a little shiny on the ground. Picking it up, she saw it was a shell. Maybe if she found enough of these, she could make something. She held it in her hand, now looking for more. She soon found one and picked it up. Two was a great start and so was the third sh...

Amaryllis finished her book within an hour. That’s what she gets for grabbing a small one. She sighed as she put the book away before looking around. The beach wasn’t on her list normally. She stood and stretched. It was a nice day, and it wasn’t even over. She forgot the last time she had been to the beach, but she remembered something she loved. She smiled as she walked to the water, well aware that her skin w...

Normally, I avoid most outdoor activities during the summer unless the a/c goes out. Today was going to be inventory, sales, and calls to authors nearing or past their deadlines. That was until the doorbell rang. I checked the peep hole, no one was there. Strange, but I opened the door to make sure there was nobody just out of sight. Only a small white parcel. Normally, the manuscripts are delivered to the box for ...
