The darkness swallowed the bright light that burned faintly now in Ren's mind. He couldn't remember what that light was, until he saw the first words appear before him. He died, and he recalled it all at once. His unit moving to support another base, driving through that wretched desert. Not a...

(Do feel free to bring them in whenever, I think it's about time to get the plot moving forward anyway) Wei smiles at her comment on his rather youthful appearance, but decides not to touch on that topic further. Some secrets were better left kept instead of let out. "How long...? Hard to say...

"Interested in me now? Well, I worked in other bars for a long time. I guess owning my own was just a natural progression. That's part of it, anyway. What's kept me going is what this place has become. If I, or anyone else were to tear it down, a lot of people wouldn't have anywhere else to go...

(It's all good, I take way longer to reply anyway lol) Wei nods, turning away from Aire for a moment to fix her a pint of IPA from the tap, before returning and setting it on a coaster, sliding the drink over to her. A slight smile remained on his face, but this one wasn't out of cordiality. It...

(Do you wanna go ahead and bring in the creditors during this scene?) Wei blinks a few times at 'Aire.' He was used to people here being thrown off slightly by his name, but he'd never been on the other end of that with someone. Not once in his tragically long life. He wouldn't even try to...

The regulars had already found their way into The Broken Hourglass by the time Aire had stepped inside. The bar was as expected, just the same as before. The same people for the most part, the same lights and decor, and the same bartender, cleaning out a few glasses. It was almost as though this...

"Good luck with yours," he said simply, waving the girl off as she takes her leave. The rest of the bar's clientele followed suit, one-by-one leaving the premises and heading off to wherever 'home' was. Some left to rundown motels, some to their childhood houses that they never made the cash to...

"Nobody wants to be played out. Sadly, it's only a small percentage of people who can keep themselves from it. Most get swept up and ensnared by... by whatever. By their society, their country, their ideology, their work... their creditors. Maybe I really am a fool if I think I can fight against...

"Yeah... I could probably pay it all off, maybe even by the end of the year," Wei admitted, his expression shifting as he considers the disparity between his words and actions. He could pay off the loan for sure if business kept doing as well as it did. But there was something inside him that...

Bad time for a vacation. The one chance I have to take long leave from work, and I've gotta spend part of it avoiding riots and sick people. I could do that pretty well enough back at home. Eyeing the couple at the other end of the coffee shop makes me wonder if I should've brought a mask out...

"Don't think of it as charity, then. Think of it as... appreciation for your patronage," Wei suggested, leaving the glass right where it is should she change her mind and go for another drink. "Well, if you can't scrounge up the money to pay them back, maybe it'd be best to skip town. Take a...

"Hmph, loans... Those are always the worst, aren't they? I'm in a bit of a... financial problem too right now. Sometimes you just pick the wrong people to borrow from..." Wei said, murmuring near the end of his sentence and pouring another drink for the girl. "This one's on the house, I'd feel...

"You think so?" He replied at her comment on his choice of decorations, a faint smile forming over his lips as he glances around the bar he'd put together. You could say the place was a reflection of himself, he'd poured his soul into it in much the same way he pours liquor in glasses for all...

The dying of the light brings rebirth, and life begins to sprout up within The Broken Hourglass as its owner and sole employee opens the place for the night. Its warm, comforting lights flicker on inside, while the animated neon sign outside lights up in brilliant blue and orange, depicting a...

Tough hunt tonight. The cold desert nights of Tatooine could hide much in their mists. Few were desperate enough to come here of their own will to hide, but there were always those who saw no other path ahead of them. Nomad was one of the few Bounty Hunters in the galaxy that would take a...

"Enslaving it... As long as that ghost stops being an issue for me, I don't care what happens to it." I glance over at Valkyrie, then look back at Thalia. "I think you know more about ghosts than either of us. Should we really head back to the castle to capture it?" @GhastlySquash

I just have the worst luck. "Don't have any food," I tell the men, immediately recognizing their scent as that of Seer and Chunchunmaru. Seems like every animal in this vicinity a human, even if they've never been a human before in their life. I think for a moment as Valkyrie and Thalia discuss...

"Calm down," I say, walking past Valkyrie and staring down at the burning corpse. "Look at that. Nobody could recognize this charred corpse... His name isn't gonna be remembered. There's no honor in death." Death. That dragon destroyed the one thing I care about. Death is gonna be coming for it...

I watch as the three other Valkyries leave, before bringing my attention back to my own Valkyrie. Did she just say she can transform back? I... don't know how I'd feel mounting her now that I know she's actually a pretty attractive girl. I'm scared I might've given her some kind of weird...

Sugar cubes... I know brought some with me, but just about everything I have got confiscated. It's weird she still wants them. Did I condition her on accident. "Think the guards took them," I tell her, still petting her head and now looking straight into her eyes. "I need to get going. Are you...
