[a clatter, a crash: something thrown. Distant] The hell with this. There's no answers here!!

[WHAM. Journal, open! Louder, clearer.] I'm hiring a ship. No-one wants to rent me, I'm taking one. It's time to get our asses off this rock and find some new ground. Anyone with me ( Read more... )

Well folks, disregarding recent delays, Arsenal and War is back and here to stay. So come on by for all your self-defense needs. We've got some new works we didn't put together before - Selene, think you might be interested.

Hey, Jimmy. Did you skip your party this year, or was I just not invited?

((Arsenal and War, the outsider-run armory, is ( Read more... )

Well...

... Damn.

I hate it when everyone else was right.

Fun as it is to couch-surf the multiverse, it looks like I'm gonna be sticking around here long enough to put down a few temporary roots.
