I just realized I have no idea how these horns work…
This may not be of interest to any but a few of you, but to force myself into doing some fast and loose worldbuilding for the place where these demonfolk I’ve been posting about live, I completed the project you’ll find below.
I’ve found challenges like 1sentence on Livejournal to be an interesting way to capture the spirit of a character or pairing, when done well, so I thought, why couldn’t the same be done for a group of people, or a place?
I used themeset Epsilon here, with the self-imposed rule that every sentence I wrote had to be, in theory, about a unique person, place, or thing, which would keep me from dwelling on the named characters we’ve already spent time doting on. It’s been difficult, but I’m not completely unhappy with the results.
So, if you are at all curious about this little world that’s slowing coming together, do have a peek, let me know what you think. Be warned that this is about demons, so expect a fair bit of violence.

Beof looked down at the pathetic, mewling demon-kits that his wife regarded with a detached, curled-lipped disdain.
“There,” she managed, panting, milky white scales tinged pink from the red flush of labour over her skin beneath them. “Are you happy now?”
Only a short time after she slipped away from the bonfire, Miyng-Yi came tearing back.
