...released.” He finished the curry quick, and pushed his plate forward to signal he was done, too. “Anything you need to nab while we’re here?” ~***~ There was no threat as the pair walked back to the ship. No complications. No conversation. Ancasta finished her tascrose before they reached...

"You need hobbies, Adrienne. You won’t think about eating people if you’re distracted." Marshall wasn’t exactly wrong, but the frustration at the poor, dying african violet did make Adrienne Edom wonder if it was even worth pursuing this particular hobby, or any other hobby, of late. The pink...

...she was here for?” “Supplies. She had a pressing need to get back to whatever journey she was on, so she may have left already,” Zevlor noted. ~***~ Tadpole? Myna canted her head as Karlach tried to explain what connected them, and what could have happened to her. It was a part of the...

...her on those. “Does make me wonder what comes next, though….” He closed the box on Ancasta’s food with a sigh, before pushing it to the side. ~***~ Ancasta followed Arien at some distance initially, before she lit up another tascrose and let her stride lengthen, pace increase, to match...

Mikhail was missing. Dravon offered a deal to whoever solved his riddle. And Rience had an obsession with Mikhail. If Malina hadn’t put it together, it was only because anger wanted to blind her to the possibility of such a horrendous thing, but Kirsikka did. ‘If I had known….’ Guilt made her...

‘The Temple has definitely changed shape.’ Hector understood that if it was there in Escander, everyone would know. Unless it was hidden in plain sight as something else. A tourist shop that sold Alexander figures? No, likely just a bar that had no idea of its purpose, history removed under...

...it. Missed the silent dialogue between them that screamed they could hear the ‘lady’ in his tone, despite the woman very much not being a lady. ~***~ No one was immune to Cid’s strange charm. Even in his madness, he retained it, and Liraz could see it in the way that Vayne examined the...

Citra had once been overwhelmed by all of the food in the Fire Nation. She had grown accustomed to it, only to begin to miss food from her home instead. It was curious what a mention of elephant rats could do. It did not put off her appetite; on the contrary, she remembered elephant rats...

Yue listened, keeping her thoughts on the statement of benders and non-benders to herself. There were some things, no doubt, that non-benders couldn’t have educated opinions on. Yue didn’t know what it was to be a bender. Their struggles were foreign to her in the personal way, but not in the...

...what was necessary, for as long as they could. If this was another piece of nethicite, the secret could only be kept for so long, after all. ~***~ Liraz knew she'd flubbed the introduction, but tact had never been her greatest skill. The bruises in school had proved as much. Cid, mad as he...

Vergil seemed to be struggling with the way angels were, which did make Vera wonder if he assumed all demons to be of a kind. ‘Clearly.’ How disappointing, given he was half of one himself. Perhaps he assumed all humans of a similar nature, as well. Well, Vera wouldn’t let it bother her long...

Dravon calmly looked upon Drazhan. Perhaps Kirsikka didn’t hear it, a bit too tired for nuance, but he heard the panic that had little to do with Kirsikka’s state. He arched a brow at the inquiries directed at him, “Since it isn’t obvious,” he drawled, “I was healing Kirsikka. The work is hardly...

Varick was also startled by the cold. It wasn’t beyond his ability to cope, but it was far colder than it should have been within the fortifications. Not that the fortifications remained. Buildings were in ruins, debris was scattered everywhere, the road barely clear beneath the piles of rubble...

Varick nodded as Tamsin announced she was ready and he opened the door to lead them back out into the main room of the home. “Can you leave a message in case one of them returns, Malina?” Varick asked. It was still good preparation, just in case, after all. They didn’t need to be roaming one of...

Varick tried not to regret waking Tamsin, even with her decision. It was her right to be able to make it, after all. But he’d rather she stay here, and be safe. “Mikhail and Kirsikka are missing. Drazhan knows that Kirsikka went to Mont Pellinor in the night, so we have reason to think Mikhail...

...gil a person for this job?” As he set the paper down, he pressed his knuckles down onto the table and leaned in, “We’re eager to hear more.” ~***~ Rabanastre, capital of Dalmasca, a city Liraz had visited a few times before to catch up with Clan Centurio. She was a rather low ranking member...

A bigger bonfire. Lethe wasn’t sure that would be sufficient, but they’d have to try. She would have to find a way to make sure Aaravos couldn’t use Viren’s body for anything. It made her worry about what might become of her own body when she passed. She had been purified of dark magic, but she...

...telling anyone that another firebender was there. ‘Iroh.’ He was out of the alley in a flash and following the route he’d seen Iroh take. ~***~ Azula’s fleeting smirk was delicious to see. Her commentary afterwards was a stark reminder that she was a bitch – but gods, what a bitch...

Varick knew. Day would make it easier, but it didn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be problems. Just, several of the usual ones he could predict wouldn’t be around. “I’ll be ready shortly,” Varick said, casting a glance briefly at Drazhan as Malina offered a not-threat, “Keep your anger where it is...

Mont Pellinor. Varick hated the thought of going back there, even in the daylight hours. It was the single lead they had, however. There was a chance that Kirsikka took Mikhail there, or Mikhail went there if he recognized that Kirsikka hadn’t returned – though why he wouldn’t tell the rest was...
