Hound opened her mouth to protest, then closed it, resolving to just look a little huffy instead. She did want the champagne, but it was also a possible variable they would have to account for if it didn't work this time. She already had to remember what each of them were ordering. Would it...

Belladonna was an excellent name for a cruise ship. At least, for this particularly cruise ship. It fit the general cadence and theming - floral, vaguely posh, and pleasant to the ears, containing a slant-rhyme in itself and translating literally to beautiful woman. Women of the past took a...

୨୧ Eloise let Takei touch her arm, tilting it so he would feel the rotating spindle beneath. He seemed put off - but curiously, it was Jamie who seemed to truly set him off, surprising him as they changed yet again into something else entirely. How he didn't notice it before, Eloise couldn't...

Abryxia nodded thoughtfully. This entire thing wasn't really their business, but wasn't part of being on an adventure sticking your nose in places it didn't belong? After all, stories that lived out in the open were terrible for telling, because everyone already knew how they went. But stories...

୨୧ "Ah! Delightful -- delightful. I am -- always grateful -- for your hospitality, dear." Poor Mr. Matsumoto seemed to be taking the present situation as some sort of joke, or, perhaps, a ruse. Certainly not with the proper seriousness such matters entailed. It was a stance Eloise was unused...

Frizzlegum "Frizz" Babblybruk Basic Info Age: 19 years Height: 5'1" Weight: 94 lbs Gender: Female Race: Gnome (Or, well. Tiefling. But she's a gnome all the same.) Class: Artificer Backstory Frizz didn't remember being born. That's not an odd thing, of course - most people don't - but...

It was starting to reach the point where nothing Rally said could surprise Abryxia. Of course Rally didn't know what a tummyache was, Rally probably didn't get them at all, and probably didn't even have a tummy, and probably could fly and breathe fire and shoot tulips out of their ears when they...

୨୧ Eloise clicked amicably. "She is telling the truth -- dear -- when she says that," she said, nodding, "If the oath was not -- enough to comfort you. People are -- usually -- safe here." She tilted her head, raising two left ands to tap two fingers against the side of her chin. "Except when...

"I don' think -" worms are a particularly good thing for eating, is what she would have said, if what she was about to say was something she'd settled on saying. But some things did eat worms, didn't they? Birds, and moles, and other worms, too. Rally wasn't any of those things - least, Abryxia...

"A wyrm?" Abryxia said with a moment of surprise - and perhaps a little trepidation. As much as the previous encounter had turned out harmless, she'd had her right fair share of wyrms to last her another month at least. And, well, something like that in a place like this, with everyone so on...

"I know a - bit about 'em. Well, a bit's a bit too much," Abryxia said, rubbing at the back of her head. She moved out through the door, planting her hands on her hips, looking the tower up and down. "They'nt supposed ta be this far south, tho. Didn' even know they coul' be. See - pretty sure...

The shimmering light enveloped them all, and they were in another place. Not in some remote section of the United States countryside. Not on the outskirts of London. Not at a Baghdad market street. Not in a Polynesian cape. It was the same place, now, the known place, the place where you did...

୨୧ The conversation had concluded - one might say unnaturally, with dear Pepper moving on to meet another newcomer's question, but what here ever was natural? No, one had to embrace the unexpected and thrive in the chaos. Speaking of - The three who were to be seeing them stepped inside, and...

୨୧ "Non--sense, dear!" Eloise said, shaking her head with a mechanical creak. "A maker makes. That is -- the only imperative. Clothing -- painting -- sculpting -- it is all putting a part of yourself in the world. To fill it -- with your beauty!" Though her face was static, there was a smile to...

୨୧ "The correct choice," Eloise replied, nodding approvingly. Passing it off to another hand, she held it to the side, continuing to toy with it. "I might do the -- same." At the mention of deer, she paused - body utterly still. "Ah. The creature. It is -- a joke. Yes, you are not a deer."...
