    Silverveil was nice, just flying free for a few days. But as much as I loved my time in Silverveil, I like the idea of bringing that civil war Thora mentioned over here a lot less. Especially since they haven't seemed to get around to guns yet, and adding them into a war that already involves...

    The forge behaved for once, which meant I did not trust the evening at all yet. The coal burned hot and steady, the draft through the vent pulled straight instead of wheezing, and the lump on my anvil had finally stopped pretending it did not want to become a proper claw. My helper had only...

    So, I guess I'm in Starfleet now, what with the whole "To boldly go where no one has gone before" thing. But I should explain… So I was using the fanfiction power, since I'd decided to start sprinkling references to Cauldron in, when an old woman walks up and asks me not to. Now, this wouldn't...

    So Vicky found out about the new power and apparently made up with Dean in the meantime. I took the fic down, but it seems I underestimated just how popular supernaturaly good fanfiction would be since it was back up in a bunch of copies within the hour. Vicky seems to think I should be using...

    Chapter Text So… something really weird is going on with the perks. It's been in the back of my head that nobody's commented on how familiar some of the perks are. Like, taken directly from Aleph imports or sometimes directly from things that exist in media here on Bet, like Star Wars. But...

    Movie nights on their days together kind of grew in sideways, and Ethan never really remembered when they had officially become a thing, only that sometime in the last few months Saga stopped standing by the door the whole time and started actually sitting down while the movie played. The...

    One of the Ninjas who got a job as a manager at a canning factory has been making friends with a family who live right down the road from the Nuclear power plant. I guess it's a big enough deal that it has its own history of villain attacks. Which is lucky since apparently the ABB has already...

    Extras: Celestial Saga: Lore - Chapter 4: Saga's Earth-Bet's Version of the Movie "UP"

    Opening. Carl launches his balloon house. Emotional impact: curiosity about why this old man is so determined and attached to his home. Russell arrives on the porch. Emotional impact: humor and confusion as a cheerful kid crashes into the story and contrasts sharply with Carl. Early flight...

    Welp. Lung is here to stay, and so am I. --- We've started to build up NOVA in this area around Maine and New Brunswick. The dream of all of New England and The Maritimes is still a thing, with a few teams still expanding in Vermont and Nova Scotia, but mostly we're a Maine/New-Brunswick...

    We did the PR thing. There was even a pretty big ship in the background, so it worked out for the pictures. Emily made a speech about the city entering an era of new hope and possibility, and we all politely forgot that this city is still full of Nazi's and thanks to the new gangs, the number...

    Rude. … I was all involved in the search for the ABB capes, then we finally find them, and I get sent over to HQ to stand guard all day! The worst part is, they were right! The Chosen (Hookwolf's E88) attacked, and it was only all of us under 18 Wards being in the same place that sent him and...

    Missy had a good idea. I took her to pet Samson the Donkey to calm down after another day of not funding the ABB capes, when she asked about the Ninja I've mentioned knowing. It seems obvious in hindsight, especially with how it took Tenkō no Tomo a day to find at least 6 bases they seem to...

    So… the money issue might not be "solved," but I guess I might be able to give Taylor and Laurance a paycheck now. I got a new perk, and though it's a bit expensive, it's one of the ones that's just a minor quirk in a game but absolutely crazy in real life. Loot Magnet - Jamestown: Legend of...

    The chapel smells like wet wool and burned coffee. The heat ticks like a tired metronome. Four flags wait up front, and four families watch the cloth like it might answer back. Breath moves in shallow tides that never reach the shore. Cloth whispers when someone shifts. A coin taps a thigh like...

    So… It might have been a mistake, but people have been complaining about the boat graveyard as long as I've been alive. Plus, as cool as my power is, this was the first time I've had a perk that would just pop away one of the Bay's biggest issues. But this, the Y-Gun? Point at the big one...

    Dropped into a blaster mess today. One of the NOVA squads blocked a robbery, and Sugarhouse Sentinel showed up to yank the loot back. I rolled in mid-fight, so I don't even know who got hit. The room smelled like maple and smoke, and everyone was yelling over the hiss of the pans. Pern put me...
