"Can't help you with the Aspect thing, I'm afraid," Clyde said. He'd joined them at their breakfast table after serving up their breakfast — a surprisingly hearty and comforting meal, though Derivan couldn't taste it himself. From the sounds Vex was making, though, he assumed the food was good. It was some assortment of egg and fried meats; the oil was still crackling by the time it reached their table, no doubt assisted by the fire-aspect mana circling around the plates. "I know what mana aspects…-

"Sorry about last night," Misa said. She didn't look like she'd managed to sleep much — Derivan suspected that they'd all had a rough night, really. Vex hadn't slept until late into the night, after he'd finished explaining everything that had happened with Irvis and the echo of Karix. Derivan hadn't known what to say, but he hadn't needed to. Vex hadn't wanted anything more than a chance to talk about it without having to worry about what it meant for them in terms of strategy, or what it implied about…

"Me?" Sev asked, a little incredulously. "I've never met you guys in my life." "No, but you're under the same effect we are. Or you Sev stared at him, then into the air, presumably at a system window; he tore his eyes away after a moment. "I didn't know what it was," he said softly. "I just knew I couldn't talk about it. I still don't know why it was there." "You'll probably find out soon, if the effect is starting to wear off," Clyde said. "Though 'soon' is relative here. The point is, that's what we…

"Wait, no, hang on," Sev said. "Back up. The universe did what now?" "It ended." Clyde cocked his head towards Sev, a flicker of shadow dancing across his eyes; his equivalent of a blink. "Do you not know about that?" "No?" Sev said, the lilt at the end of his words turning it into a question. Unspoken was the thought that came with it: Clyde frowned at him slightly, then leaned back against the counter, apparently debating what to say next. "You're visitors, I know that much," he said, his eyes…

Jerome sat next to Kestel. He'd taken to visiting the head researcher of the dungeon team every few days, just to see if he was doing better. Ever since he'd learned about what happened to him at the dungeon — His own men turning against him the moment he hesitated to report back, wanting to first ensure the safety of his men... Harold and the others had left, last he'd heard. They were worried about Kestel, too, but none of them were really aligned to anything related to healing and recovery. Like…

Jumping was much easier said than done. Derivan peered out of the hole to see exactly how viable jumping would be — it was not. Sev, on the other hand, just stared at Misa with one brow slightly raised. "What?" she asked. She managed a small grin. "We're a Gold-ranked team. We shouldn't be afraid of a little fall." "It's not exactly a "You "I haven't figured out a Glyph of Featherfall yet," Vex grumbled. "Coming up with new spells isn't that easy, you know." "We're not guaranteed the system's…

I suppose there's really only one way to start an announcement at this time of the year: Happy holidays! I know this time of year isn't really for everyone, but I hope it's at least been kind to everyone; it's been a hectic couple of years. So! Let's start with the main announcement. I've mentioned this before in an author's note here or there, I think, but Edge Cases is getting published. It's part of the reason I dropped Patreon prices, though I deeply appreciate everyone who's given me support via…
