Chapter 4 - Life in the Arc
**Chapter 4 - Life in the Arc** One of the biggest issues I had when I got to New York was finding a job. The only skills I had, being a chimney sweep and a sailor, didn't really give me a lot of options. Even then, I was just too big to...
Chapter 20 - Lost and Found
**Chapter 20 - Lost and Found** Running. That was about all I could do anymore. I couldn't fight, I couldn't talk my way out of this, I couldn't lean on my friends. I was alone now and all I could do was run. I made sure to be indirect,...
The Tale of Two Kitties
This is in the Half Moon Tribe universe. It was just a bit of an inspiration for me to write about a character who didn't get a lot of story time but he's really cool (at least to me). I just felt like I wanted to write about Apollo but didn't really...
Chapter 18 - Love's Labour's...
**Chapter 18 - Love's Labour's...** I'm a coward. There, I said it (or wrote it?). It's hard to say that out loud and even harder to think that I deserve such a title, but I had to, because all I've ever done in my life was running and fleeing...
Chapter 4 - From the Desk of Mordecai Crossbell I
~From the Desk of Mordecai Crossbell~ Legacy is everything and it is nothing. Legacy gives one power at birth, the kind of power that comes with generations of hard-working men who cut out a bit of society for their own goals and ambitions to...
Chapter 7 - Expendable and Exploitable
**Chapter 7: Expendable and Exploitable** When you're poor you see death a lot. I saw my first dead body when I was four. It was some drunk against the wall one evening when I was fetching some apples for the Sisters. At first I...
Chapter 15 - The Duality of Life
**Come to Dust Chapter 15 - The Duality of Life** It had been a week since Avery went missing, and I was starting to lose my marbles. Ever since I had found out that Avery hadn't returned to Alister's (Duncan's now, the churr), I had walked...
Chapter 6 - The First Thread
**Chapter 6 - The First Thread** It had been a few weeks since Gideon had told me he'd seen Spring Heeled Jack. It had been a bit of a tail pull to get him to tell...
Chapter 19 - So We Meet at Last
**Come to Dust Chapter 19 - So We Meet At Last** Up until recently, I hadn't interacted with the nobility a whole lot. They may as well have been from a different world than I was. On the occasion I was hired to clean one of their...
Chapter 17 - Ciel of Approval
**Chapter 17 - Ciel of Approval** To say I was tired would be an understatement. I had been out all night doing things I know I shouldn't be, all because a friend asked for my help. As I walked into the Arc at those early hours I wondered...
Chapter 5 - Finding Work
**Chapter 5 - Finding Work** A week had gone by but I still couldn't find a job. It wasn't that there was no work--other people were getting hired ahead of me. Work, it turns out, is all about who you know, and I honestly didn't know too...
The Half-Moon Tribe
Short intro to a story I've been cooking up. More to come like my past short series. I borrowed some terminology from White-Wolf RPG but in no way is this setting in their world, the words just fit more closely and I borrowed them, and for that I...
