Battle Hymn of the Republic

"Eeeeh," Willow groaned as she discovered that the phone she had been handed was not hers, but in fact Drysi's. Reasonably, it was the other girl who had made the mistake, so how could she possibly get angry about the mix up. To cover her butt as much as she could, she stopped reading the moment it ...

Smiling inwardly, Ruarc ate his dinner in peace, contented in knowing Jane appreciated it. What he was not expecting was the woman flipping his offer for the bed. Caught off guard, the Irishman took a moment to consider her suggestion. Just as he was about to start into what likely would end up as a...

Willow, who had made her way to the cottonwood bench to inspect the note, considered the faeries in the clearing. When she returned to the other two, many of the lounging cottonflies had fluttered over and landed on her shoulders. Much to her surprise Vrey had determined to dunk her head into the sp...

Voice catching in her throat, Laoise was unsure what had happened for a moment. She was aware of the claws in her heart, and could see Tulan looming in front of her; but the pain was so much and so intense that she simply shut down. Meekly, the familiar tried to continue her song, defiantly trying t...

Ruarc's teeth were grinding as Sorrow retreated back into the ice. If he left to go help with Doubt, then Sorrow would surely flank them. They would need to either reverse the corruption, or in lieu of that make sure she wouldn't pose a threat to them. So either taking the wand or breaking it, and f...

Willow sighed and tucked some hair behind her ear as she followed the others out to the commons.

Once she was clear of the suite she saw what the commotio...

Shrugging indifferently as his suggestion was dismissed, Cormac stretched his shoulders as Camilla set the course. Planning and giving orders had never been a strength of his so he wasn't to heart broken. At this point he wasn't even that worried about the infiltration; there was anticipation, but h...

With their courses set, the two groups set off. Drysi's group started up the path her detector indicated, leading the teens up the slope of one of the low foothills; whereas Kat's group began down the other path into the shallow valley, guided by Chuffy and the rowan flowers. A gentle breeze was blo...

"The joys of testing the waters," Ruarc growled through grit teeth as his lightning rebounded. Either way, Sorrow was advancing, and could guess that letting her get to close wasn't in the groups best interest. Keep them at range to allow for the distance casters to pick away at them, the Druid cons...

Ruarc growled in frustration as he had forgotten how reckless some of the members of this group could be. He had been wondering who would muck up diplomacy, and had rightly bet on Riley; Laoise had bet on Miyuki. While he had little doubt that he would have failed to reason with the two entities, he...
