The young Guard glances up, seems about to stand and salute when he sees Raaye and- almost falls out of his chair, instead he momentarily adopts the Awakened Titan stance. Vorkerrigan is impressed; you wouldn't expect it to suit his lithe frame, but his poise is excellent. "El-elders, forgive...

The guard tower is a squad brick affair, with a tapering tower surmounted by a spherical wicker cage. Small birds with overlarge eyes circle and chirp with a distinct cadence, one that would rise to a cacophanous shriek if a single member of the flock espies enemies in the distance. It's quite...

Assuming no further questions are forthcoming, Naxis speaks again. "Your orders are simple - ascertain what the H'kaeri are doing at Hannubar's Reach. If necessary and possible, drive them out. Kill, capture, and interrogate at your disrection-" "Please remember that torture is not merely...

"That is so," says Ravayna. "If you believe you can drive them out, do so, but there is no reason to throw your lives away."

Tysis examines their freshly pointed nails, but favours Rahu with an askance smile. "I have decided to entrust you with selecting a caretaker - you should not be away for a whole Moon, but in that time knowing a friend is watching one's work keeps the mind focused."

Naxis nods, as if Vorkerrigan had answered a question, and seems pleased. "Hannubar's Reach was the furthest the H'kaeri had pushed into our territory and dug in. They had to be removed lest they have a position to push on the Citadel." He says. "And my advice would be to bring a small...

Naxis chuckles warmly. "With the sunset tomorrow - or as soon after as you are prepared." Rayvna produces a map and unrolls it, holding it up. A black X marks a location near the southwestern border. "This is Hannubar's Reach," she says, "a ruin; sacked by our forces over a decade ago. But our...

Naxis towers over you, almost as tall as the triune statue behind him - but his weapons are not in evidence, and the old warrior radiates a grandfatherly benevolence. She doesn't see him much, but he's actually one of Vorkerrigan's uncles on her mother's side. He is quickly joined by Tysis...

A pleasant haze settles over the assembling; muscles relax, minds open. The music fills the air with synaesthetic light and colour. From familiar tunes to more complex improvisation. Bamya is positively sweating from exertion as the effect fades. Bamya is in the middle of a bawdy story from his...

October 30th, 6:07PM, 1999 Benton Public Library It's a quiet evening, the last shreds of the setting sun casting the heavy clouds pink and gold beyond the trees on the western horizon. The brightest lights are the warm yellows behind the library windows and spilling from the doors, the...

The stranger pauses, clearly taken aback but attempting to maintain some decorum. Unused to this kind of treatment, you would intuit. She tosses her unusually long hair back and laughs, dismissive. "Of course, of course, I have simply found myself in the wrong place, at the wrong time," she...

Bamya drums his meaty fingers on his instrument for a moment as he talks. "How about the old Moonrise Hymnal? Good to stretch oneself first thing," he says. The Hymnal is an old piece, ideally played with various two dozen instruments; a bolero that grows in complexity and intensity as it...

"Levenat, hrm?" booms a jovial voice, and the imposing form of Ralek Bamya ambles into the courtyard with a pair of taut drums under one thick arm. Bamya is something of a living legend; said to have singlehandedly defeated an entire H'kaeri battalion before retiring to train those who would...

A bell tolls, rousing you from slumber. From the comfort of your beds, you can hear the sounds of day-shift siblings coming home and preparing for sleep. For those of you so blessed, your armour thrums and writhes beneath your flesh, ready to flow from the implanted cavities and envelop your...

DARIA LESTRANGE Location: Welcome Centre Daria sidles up to the head of the room alongside the other staff and counselors, gracing Ricky and Andreas with something adjacent to a smile. She's aggressively normal-looking, by comparison, like she's wandering from a college faculty during her off...

DARIA LESTRANGE Location: Welcome Centre Daria is not, as Jeb is no doubt ready to accuse otherwise, late. Her beat-up Ford arrived at least an hour early, so she could dump her luggage in her designated corner of the cabin, read anything on the incoming campers that she could find, and take a...

ACCUSER Also present: @Simplymelsh @StaidFoal Accuser offers only nods to acknowledge both women, at first. Temporary is fine. They'll suffice to begin with, and maybe they'll see things my way in a few weeks. "Entirely fair," he says, mounting the stairs to see this captive. "I only ask for...

ACCUSER Also present: @Simplymelsh @StaidFoal Accuser tilts his head, and grins behind his mask. It's certainly audible in his voice as he spreads his arms and says "why, I'm going to ask him nicely."

ACCUSER Also present: @Simplymelsh @StaidFoal An explosion rocks the district, and Accuser pauses briefly to listen. Not my business, he decides. The graffiti-shifter has a goal - he can respect that. The young woman of uncertain providence seems like an opportunist, and naive to boot. No...

ACCUSER Also present: @Simplymelsh @StaidFoal Captive, terrified, confused. Hm. "Well then," he says, "let me offer a demonstration of solidarity. We're all stronger together, after all." He bows, with a little flourish, "you can think of me as a man of wealth and taste - can you guess my...
