Battle Hymn of the Republic

“Then yield!” Willow barked at Noble. “I’m here to help the both o’ ya, so stow the thanks.” Then she turned her attention to Diligence. Under any other circumstances, such as the world not about to end and a man not about to die, Willow would have been rooting for Diligence; and in fact she felt li...

“I’m terrible at charades,” Willow muttered as she cocked her head at the retreating faerie. Best she could figure, the little sprite was telling her shit was going down and her clock was running out. Or in other words, pitter patter. The momentary confusion burned away with the heat of Willow’s me...

“Nuts to that,” Willow chimed in as she turned to Creative. “I’ve heard just about enough of folk saying what we’re doing doesn’t matter, since everything is jus’ gonna end. But hey! [/b] At least it all starts over again! Nah! Nuts to that! People live here! They have lives here. They have made fam...

Smart would find herself standing eye to eye with Willow well within the Artisan’s personal space. The Briton had begun moving shortly after the first rock struck Creative, and once a boulder came into play she picked up the pace. Now, mere inches away, she squared off.

Every time there was some new development that she needed to deal with she thou...

“Uh, but… Caxton!?” Willow called after the man as she hesitated; looking between the retreating forms of her instructor and Diligence. After one last look at the two Artisans, Willow grumbled before hustling after Percy. Catching up in short order the Brit fell into step with the alchemist. “Um, re...

Destiny chuckled at Gideon’s question, but refocused all the same on her deck. At the same time Brooke’s eyes went wide as Drysi mentioned her middle name and softly said, “Totally callin’ ya Louie from now on.” The Fatecaller flicked one more card from the deck for Gideon. On the card a bartender s...

As Gideon offered his answers he would see Zeke’s head shift towards Destiny in between each response as the mantis relayed the information. He only spoke a couple times, the first of which was asking himself confirmation on who Aashvi was before remembering; the second was a positive response to th...

A concerned look sat on Willow’s face as she looked between Diligence and Noble. For Diligence it was because she was unsure if his temper would hold. For Noble it was the injuries he had sustained. For a moment she started to feel hopeful that Dil would make an effort here, but then the Artisan dec...
