Summary
The queen turns, and your gazes lock in the dim multicolored lighting of the drag bar. Both of you freeze on the spot.
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial: Success] - You stare at Lieutenant Jean Vicquemare for a long moment. He's wearing a red dress with a plunging neckline. He's unshaven but is in heavy drag, eyebrows blocked out and redrawn, face perfectly powdered, and eyes sharply lined. His lips are blood red and he's painted gold dripping from his mouth and running down his throat in a clear nod to his stage name.
ATARAXIA [Heroic: Success] - You are the first to recover.

Summary
Snippets of memories flash through his head, almost too swift to register. Familiar yellow eyes. An ugly smirk. The glint of a fellow cat's medallion in the sun. The sound of heartbeats surrounding him. The burning agony of a poisoned blade sliding home in his gut. Then, nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The cat witcher slowly moves a hand to his abdomen and gasps at the flare of pain as his hand touches blood-drenched fabric. Not leather. He's been stripped of his armor. Gloves, too. He doesn't even have to reach back for his swords to know they're gone as well - they would be digging into his back if they were there. They even took his fucking boots.
Jad and his band tried to kill him, stripped him of all his belongings, and-
A dawning horror causes the blood to freeze in his veins. It all makes sense now, even to his addled brains. The cramped quarters, the pine box, the muffled world around him.
Aiden of Skellige has been buried alive.

Summary
You glance over to Harry. He’s smoking his cigarette in silence, content to just exist in the same space as you as you mull over his question.
You’re not sure how much of a choice you have in letting him in anymore. You tried keeping your distance, but that seemed to just delay the inevitable.
You’re already attached. There’s no escaping that fact. You’d take a bullet for this man, without hesitation.
“My old partner, Eyes, I believe I mentioned him to you?”

Summary
Lambert stares at the cat medallion, heavy in his hands. It’s undeniable, tangible proof: Aiden is dead.
He should feel angry. He should feel sad. He should feel something. Instead, he’s just numb.

Summary
Cody’s heard the whispers, the rumors, the tall-tales. He does his best to ignore them, to act as if they have no bearing on him, that they have nothing to do with the electric thrum of excitement in the air. Maybe the vode are worked up over upcoming leave, or the recent victories in the War.
It’s been getting harder to lie to himself as the stories spread - when he walks into the mess and the whole room goes dead quiet, he turns right back around and leaves, stomach churning too much to eat. It really starts getting hard to deny when shinies start coming up to him. They salute for too long, stutter over their words, and make Cody’s heart hurt with just how damn young they are, but they all ask the same question.
Is it true?

Summary
Was it wishful to consider this man changed? Chagrined? Humbled by a rejection that seemed pretty damn final and the resulting scurvid slog across the barrenlands? Probably. But damn if it wouldn't be a hell of a lot easier to be puppetmastered by him again.

Summary
And so they dispersed, Fitzjames leading his men back the short distance to Erebus, while Edward, flanked by Irving and Hodgson, headed the long distance back to Terror. The walk was almost entirely silent, broken by the occasional whisper as the crew processed the news. When back aboard, he went first to the wardroom, then crossed the border into Crozier’s berth.
He stopped before the desk, sat down with a sigh, and opened the logbook. Flipping to the first blank page, Edward dipped the pen into ink, and began to write. The harsh contrast between Crozier's script and his own stuttering, clumsy hand was painful to look at.
June 15 1847. 69.93/-98.71. Captain Crozier abandoned post. Lt. Edward Little assumed acting command.
In which Francis Crozier departs on the rescue sledge party before Sir John dies, and Edward Little finds himself as acting captain of H.M.S Terror.

Summary
SUBJECT: Regarding Senate Guard Objectives For Today
This is a polite reminder to all guardsmen that patrol schedules for the Senate vote ratifying dictatorships are posted in the breakroom. I am also issuing a warning to linear time that days should follow sequentially and are not intended to repeat. Please cease repeating. I am getting a headache.
Additionally, I'd like to remind all guardsmen that it is illegal to harbor invisible women in the Senate. If you see a ghost claiming to be Leia Organa, please remove her from the premises. She will be making a scene.
Thank you for your cooperation in preserving the peace of the Republic, and all hail the Empire.
