    Threadmarks: Whitley Schnee and the Dragon's Betrayal

    Altas, Solitas - - - The Schnee manor's sub-basement archive was a tomb of secrets—rows of locked filing cabinets, holographic projectors flickering with decades of ledgers, the air cold, dry and stale. The kind of air that sucked any warmth from your body, from your soul. Whitley...

    Threadmarks: Nick and Isabel on Training

    - - - Isabel was back at work at the computer, looking over the findings and data with her practiced eye. The Beacon Infirmary was quite cutting edge-Not quite up to her standards, but close enough. "How's it going, sweetie?" Isabel looked up and smiled as Nick walked in. "All right. Still...

    Fair enough. I had wanted to do something a little different, but honestly? You're right, lifetime appointments are better for judicial independence. And Mistral's government is a HILARIOUS shit show.

    The Mistralian Confederation (formally the Confederated Provinces of Mistral, or simply Mistral) is a loose confederation of semi-autonomous provinces/sub-kingdoms in Anima, structured as a nominal republic with heavy warlord-era Chinese influences (1916–1928 Beiyang/Nanjing period).

    Weiss and the Schnee family drama was, like almost everything else, poorly handled and badly done in the show. Fafnir exists to facilitate better drama, give some complexity and nuance, and serve as a physical fighter for an actual fight involving Jacques. So I do give him enough character to be...

    Threadmarks: Winter Schnee and the Dragon

    The Schnee mansion's grand foyer felt colder than Atlas winter that night. Winter Schnee stood before her father's desk in the study, uniform crisp, posture flawless—even as Jacques Gele's words cut deeper than any blade. "You are no longer a Schnee," he said, voice like frostbite. "You defy...
