one advantage to being a player, is they get to see the scale of this game through the archivist portal. Bread and circus is big business to the right advertisers.

Tim also has a credit card now with the one thing they lacked before $$$

Steve's Pizza, with extra sausage.... oh wait... wrong book

uggh my scene breaks disappeared in this one, sorry if it jumps and people teleport. They don't I swear, I'll get the scene breaks back in somehow.

Good morning

Chapter 17: The Devil's Bargain Silence. It was the only thing left in the world. It wasn’t the peaceful quiet of a library or the gentle hush of a snowfall. This was a dense, heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that filled the spaces where hope had been. It was the silence of a tomb, and Tim was the body inside. He lay on the bare mattress in Ben’s room, staring at the water-stained ceiling. He hadn’t moved in hours. His body was a lead weight, his mind a scorched plai

Many of my novels are set in Canada, this series is set in England.

Matt and Simon make for a surprisingly strong couple through the books. Simon's role grows as I am sure you're seeing. And Matt just stays Matt, cracking jokes and waggling his ears. He has a rather amusing relationship with Simon/Lynix, and his eventual apprenticeship at a Butcher's shop is very much a him thing.

five minutes down the road from me. Funnily enough

And our Tactical pyjama wearing dork is still the best of the lot #TeamMatt !

This is Mr. Ellis's brilliance, Poor Taine is suffering, and Ellis is gobbling it up with glee.

Chapter Four: The Church and the Cover Story The evening was drawing close and oppressive over Leamington Spa, as if the weather itself was bracing for the chaos to come. Low clouds pressed against the rooftops like a held breath, and the streets were empty in that particular way that suggested everyone sensible was staying indoors. The Hartley kitchen, by contrast, was a riot of controlled chaos. Maps were spread across the table—Ordnance Survey printouts, satellite i

He already has his sights set on a new Blue

You're presuming 1. she is aware of the ritual. 2. That she will be attending it willingly.

Matt is a limpet, found his tribe and won't let go. He's one of those rubber cockroaches you stamp on and just bounces back. I think Charlie (old) might have tried being a bully to Matt... Matt would ignore it and Charlie just gave up. Some people just... are immune to bullying, nothing short of a concentrated betrayal hurts them. And while Charlie was a jerk, he was never evil.

Depends if the police are in on it or not. I mean it could all be a big bubble, with a painted sky, and lights for stars.

i am writing a First crusade battle scene today, where are Crusader army was beset by Seljuk riders, a day of horse archers against an unyielding shield wall. by some miracle they held, a day of unending arrows hammering at them and they did not break. They were scared, trapped, the only thing keeping them alive was an inch of wood. The world about them becoming a field of arrows sticking out of the ground. They were turned into hedgehogs of the things... pressed in with the man next to them, holding fast. They were eventually saved by their allies coming up behind the Seljuk army and surrounding it. But that little knot of boys, no older than the kids in this story, held their ground. Tim is hurting, but he's got Ben, holding his shield up, and Tim will figure this out. Even a monolithic game such as this, so focused on it's victims, doesn't see what is coming up behind it.

Good morning

Chapter 16: The Scorched Earth The world had lost its sound. For Tim, the morning after Justin’s arrest was a silent film projected onto a screen of gray felt. The hallway noises—the slamming lockers, the shrieks of laughter, the mindless chatter—were all muted, distant, as if he were watching his life from the bottom of a deep, still lake. He was a ghost haunting the corridors of his own ruin. Every strategy, every logical pathway he’d so carefully constructed, had led to the echoing cl

Lynix is quite taken with his new house (Simon) it's comfortable, comes with built in slippers, and a breakfast nook. Plus it has access to Matt, with freckles, big ears, and 100% Dorkiness, what's not to love?

it's a soft code, in this one for example he is talking about weapons (specifically torpedoes) being delivered to St. Johns, rearming Andrew and the Free Canadian Navy. Will is the one funneling funds to Enrico, Enrico is using said funds to arm the resistance. Ned is talking about weapons sourcing, delivery and being careful with it. Note he makes jokes and mistakes in patterns. WWIII or IV I forget is an example of this at work. It's really the only way that Enrico can get messages through to Will.

Suplexing good fun

We still have to resolve Charlie's unspoken desires from the last book as well.
