This was probably Jaina's last excuse to come back here before she had to figure out how to travel via the mess that was Portalocity with kids, though the mess that was Portalocity meant that she didn't get in until late last night.

After getting Hannibal's message about having a new child show up on the island, Karla had wasted no time chartering a portal to get to Fandom.

One of the high priestesses had started making hopeful eyes at her while mentioning the possibility of a benediction. Verity was not prepared to offer some kind of prayer-slash-speech for a group of mice before at least two cups of coffee. And maybe a ( Read more... )

The unthinkable had happened:

Xanthippe was being told the funds she had with her weren't enough to pay for the extra special coffee order she'd just made. Look, she'd forgotten her cards at the dorms but like, the change she'd somehow managed to scrounge up from the pockets of her fashionably careless flannel had to be enough to pay for it, right ( Read more... )
