This was, perhaps, the most Adrianna had ever heard Luca speak at once. She'd heard her talk quite a bit during their one mission together, but then there were several others with them, and active threats to deal with. Also of note then, in the outpost, she hadn't been asked about herself, and...

It was odd, at least to Adrianna, that someone who seemed to have been chosen for research work with Temerity, who clearly had a skillset that was tailored for that field, would have been assigned to hunts, even if the task force was doing important work. Obviously, her own skills were tuned...

Already, Adrianna was beginning to see the differences in their experiences. She frowned for a moment, though her gaze remained locked on the table in front of her. CAIN hadn't said everything around her was her fault. Even if they had, it would have been difficult to have a lesson like that...

It took Adrianna a moment to realize what specifically Luca was referring to. The conversation in question- really just a brief exchange between the two, in one of the few brief moments she spent on their internal intranet- had truly been just a few passing comments to her, a moment where she...

A shrug was offered in response. In truth, it was hard to say what it was like, because it was all Adrianna knew. How can you draw comparisons when you don't have another experience to compare to? "It was a lot of training. Instruction. I don't- really know how to explain it," she said...

The slightest hint of a frown found its way to Adrianna's face at the thought of task force dissolution, a far cry from her usual neutrality. Why she would consider something so drastic, the exorcist didn't know. They were doing good work in Penance, and had a lot of actionable intel. It, of...

It was a miracle that Luca had managed to find Adrianna in the time following their return from Outpost 34. When they'd first returned, things were trending in a positive direction, with most of a plan of their enemies foiled and one of the Virtues returned to CAIN custody. Additionally, they'd...

Viviane could feel her heart in her chest in the immediate aftermath, thumping at a speed she wasn't all that used to. It made her feel somewhat lightheaded, as she look from Rally, to the top of the tower, then to the reconstituted ship, and back to Rally. Whatever had just transpired was...

For seven hundred long, proud years, the Involerra Academy has stood as a testament to the good people can bring about in the world through their actions. The school was recreated in the image of five brave heroes from centuries ago, who battled evil not out of the desire for reward, but to...

"Excuse me?" It was a simple statement, but her tone carried a disbelief to it that was hard to quantify. Rally was what? And why worms? If they were hungry, they could've spoken up! Viviane was relatively certain that she could have requisitioned a fresh meal, even if it wasn't going to be to...

Welcome, one and all, to the Involerra Academy of the Adventuring Arts! Located near the heart of Drestel, capital of the nation of Arcanis, the school was originally founded as a bards college, a place for artists and musicians to practice their craft and learn the intricacies of their innate...

Viviane had half a mind to be offended upon exiting the tavern. The initial impression of the scene would have implied that, while she was working so diligently to secure actual beds for them to sleep on, they had decided she wasn't worth the wait and continued on, abandoning her here. As fate...

Unfortunately, to some degree, Viviane was already aware. Riven's speech, back at the tower, had made her intimately aware of the Dark One's return, as shocking as it was. Odds were they'd been forced to move away from Clurneywooble, on account of their beliefs. At least, in her mind, they were...
