The Obsidian Box

Each performance is a dance with death, remembered by a single pocketed object. But this time, Poppin’s kleptomania might have landed him in the middle of a coup. Not to mention, this box seems to have strange properties. His choices: return the box and become a spy, or face the wrath of the shrewd, burly host he can’t quite hate.

The Spade of Stars


Lord Benict sends Poppin to intercept another thief, but the thief wears a familiar face. Both men trust Poppin. Whether his new master holds more sway over him than his old life is about to be put to the test—if he can stay grounded in his current world long enough to pass.

TBA

Stranded on a ship in the middle of space, Poppin and Benict try to get the box back from residents of a completely different world. Far outside of his lordly jurisdiction, Benict struggles to trust his employee’s judgment to stay alive. But the truth of Poppin’s opium dependency may outweigh his portal hopping expertise.

The Hourglass

In a black and white dimension full of traps, Poppin has no choice but to activate a trap rune to advance. Instead of the rune leading to the current holder of Benict’s box, it strands Poppin in a swiftly filling hourglass with unknown rules. If he touches the wrong obstacles in the wrong order, he might be buried in the silence.
