  1. Other attacks on large cities should have been expected. I'm surprised they waited this long.. By the evidence of the crashed ship, someone is fighting back.
  2. I am a big turophile.
  3. Ryder sure has some odd ideas. He 'protects' Danny and Vince by telling half truths, but tells Jack. Everybody is reading from a different script.
  4. Why is Ryder so certain about wolf and human bonding? It has to be what he has been taught. Not everything you are taught is necessarily true. I looked back to be sure and Cassandra is described as being half human. Is she not half wolf? Of course she is is also described as being mad, but this could be caused by having unbidden visions.
  5. Perhaps for you. I have one on 24 hours a day and I loath streaming.
  6. Ryder is too stuck in his own absolute certainties. He needs to question what he thinks he knows. The first would be trusting the visions of a mad woman.
  7. I've never heard anyone use objurgate
  8. Scoff makes me think of the amalgam scofflaw. Scofflaw was created as the result of a contest in 1924 to describe lawless drinkers during Prohibition.
  9. Nidriol. It sounds more like medicine than a drink
  10. Des and Ash are perfect for each other. Des only needs too realize the commitment he made wasn't truly his own and he was much too young to make it. Gemma has already given them her blesding. Would have never imagined Croft as Ash's father.
  11. Numismatics is a hobby which combines the joy of collecting both art and value.
  12. There is also demur, which is a verb meaning to object or show reluctance.
  13. It won't be easy. Of course not. And it will take them all. The hardest step will be melding them together.
  14. Alydrael will wean Nuji from her fear of using magic around others whether she likes it or not.
  15. If you think about it, we are surrounded by orifices of different types all of the time. A comprehensive fear of orifices would be paralyzing and quickly drive a person either insane or catatonic.
  16. Stories here at GA tend to mesmerize me into binges.
  17. It's understandable why why the people of Edgedale drifted into xenophobia, but their rotting city is a beacon to this poor choice. They are well rid of this toxic place.
  18. Nuji was right and the decaying structures should have been a clue. After all the things Nuji has done for them, it wasn't ethical for them to go into a place where she's unwelcomr.
  19. It's a minor miracle for many to be more articulate than a grunt without coffee early in the morning.
  20. I am still shocked when I encounter folks today who have no TV. I had my own as a boy, it was an extraordinary luxury back then when you consider it would cost over $7,000 in today's money. TV's are one item which have become incredibly cheap.

    Chapter 1

    I'm glad this last unposted story is finally live.
  22. Ordinarily the incident at the store would br quickly forgotten, but Pembroke's rewards changes theequation. The misunderstandings are morphing.
  23. Of course Nuji would go with them. How much longer will this fear of using her magic around others last?
  24. I tend to associate umber with somber, leaning toward the burnt umber shade in my imagination.
