Trees in the castle and rocks in the roads, and earthquakes all night long. Awesome. It was just what Amy thought of when she considered the perfect night. Who didn't want to be regularly woken because things were shaking, anyway? Sleep wasn't that important, even for insomniacs ( Read more... )

It was time yet again to undertake an onerous chore: deciding what to wear for the Feast of Fools. Claudia glowered at her closet, wondering how much trouble she'd get into if she "accidentally" tossed a lighted match inside...after dousing the contents with gasoline. Probably more than she'd care to handle, really. So she merely sighed, strode ( Read more... )

While normally, Tally's Monday night would be occupied with a beginning sword class, today it's been cancelled in favor of caroling. That's right, the Jack of Diamonds tried to get a group together to go with her, but even if no one else shows, she'll go on her merry way, knocking on doors to offer a few (off-key) notes of festive cheer. She's ( Read more... )

Peter isn't exactly what you'd call a jock. He's pretty much the opposite of that, honestly, and spent most of his time in the locker rooms at Harrow getting wedgies and getting picked last for football and rugby and lacrosse and polo and pretty much every other sport that poncy English aristocrats liked to play to make them feel robust and vital ( Read more... )

Tally had been able to make it into Town to the toy store to buy a teddy bear to go with her Halloween costume, but the spacey-wacey effects that afflict the Deck have struck, leaving her wandering, carrying her huge prop home piggyback style, and not certain exactly how to get there.

Apparently Drew Montgomery had an excellent idea about hitching horses up and getting things done. There were pretty high snow drifts and there were a lot of people who hadn't had much contact and ( Read more... )

You wanted my opinion? Speak, then.

Säde is ready for any and all questions.

Well.

Yesterday, after leaving Silas' office, Avery decided to just - proceed with the day. She continued passing out excess muffins, chatting with people (and sharing the news with a select few), before returning to her office - her old office - and penning and distributing a release to be sent to Town and the other Suits.

King Silas Taccetta ( Read more... )

Tally is out in the Green, beating on the first fruits of the harvest season. Why ( Read more... )

So. Reassignment happened -- perfectly shiny (not). Part-time hours with the guards have happened -- far shinier. But she's not filing for the guards right now, or doing a damn thing at all for Victor. Instead, she's delivering the last file of the day so that she can get the hell out of these shoes and wiggle her toes in carpet, or something ( Read more... )
