9-26-4763 through 3-13-4767 Ebon Chasm Area #5, Sutania After that, they get a new family. New father too, though… not quite. Stick knows what’s really happened. Especially with herself and Leaf. Their father is dead and their mother hasn’t come for them. Hasn’t even responded to the information sent her way, though there was confirmation that she received it. Which means that Stick and Leaf are officially orphans. Stick has overheard the fights between the adults, the ones they have while…

7-14-4763 21:17 Universal Standard Time (UST) Ebon Chasm Area #5, Sutania The stars are gone. The lights on the plate that serves as a sky far above their heads are all out. Which makes it impossible to count them as they come on to soothe her little sister to sleep – that peaceful realm where hunger doesn’t dog their steps and smoke and smog don’t slither into their lungs in a grotesque parody of air. Looking up, all she can see is thick and choking smoke – swallowing up every scrap of…

5-10-4786 17:08 Universal Standard Time (UST) Xihga, Ilverth After the week she’s had, there’s no doubt about it. Especially looking at her desk here and now, at the towering pile that threatens to crash down and bring her current state of composure right along with it. Ursina is being haunted by paperwork. Nothing else explains it. Something about the way she couldn’t go off with the others a week ago to see what could be done about the situation with John Doe and Arcadian has resulted…

5-1-4786 22:41 Universal Standard Time (UST) Xihga, Ilverth It’s been three hours and counting before Ursina is able to walk back into the nearby Atoll hub so she can handle the rest of the mountain of paperwork. After everything John Doe talked about and the sheer number of sophonts that they managed to rescue today – the paperwork pile kept growing and growing. That’s not counting yet another mention of Invictus. Ursina isn’t sure who John Doe thinks he’s fooling – everyone knows that…

By Narissa C. for UniverseVillainTrackers.net We’re back! And boy that didn’t take very long at all, now did it? Looks like our theories were right on the money – because as the title says, John Doe has been detained! His reign has ended! It didn’t even take two weeks! Based on what my sources have been telling me, Gwendolyn organized a massive sting by setting things up like she was going to potentially purchase some of his wares. He showed up, and she got him to open up a shortcut.pth to…

By Narissa C. for UniverseVillainTrackers.net I mean, folks, read the title. One more time for good measure. John Doe – yes, that John Doe – has changed his base of operations. This time, though, I think he’s made what may possibly be the last mistake he’ll ever make. While no one has been able to figure out the exact location, when he escaped the heroes this time (poor Freezerburn, he tried so hard!) his data trail led right into her territory. Now, a refresher for folks that are just joining…

By Stanie Lunnsdt for UniverseCryptidWatch.org On 3-17, there were multiple reports of sightings of The Archmage in the aftermath of that abomination we all know of finally showing himself for the monster he was. According to eyewitness reports, they arrived approximately half an hour after the last of the meteors fell. At first, they ignored the trapped soldiers and civilians. They seemed utterly distracted by everything else that was happening, up to and including the way the waves just kept receding…

3-17-4733 16:55 Universal Standard Time (UST) Unknown City, Trickery’s Sight They have loathed this part of existing ever since it became a requirement. Once, sleeping was but a way to pass time for the bored, not a requirement of possessing a vaguely mortal shell. Actually needing it for maintenance feels unnatural still, despite the years that stretch on between when they lost everything and now. The exact count of years has long since been lost to the ages, and they have little desire to count…

6-29-4786 Interplanetary Train 15-9335 It’s silly… but Saranyu finds herself hoping to hear from Kukali soon after breaking into her apartment. Sure, the train – and thus the beginning of the mission – isn’t for around a month or so after that day… but it takes a week for Saranyu to realize that she’d been expecting Kukali to slide into the spot that Yilmaz left vacant with his vanishing. She doesn’t, and expecting that isn’t… that wasn’t fair to Kukali. The legendary ice…

5-18-4786 08:07 Universal Standard Time (UST) Block 4, LAGOON 13 There is a part of her that was hoping – against all logical sense – that Yilmaz would still turn up for their weekly spar. Despite the publicly available notice of his dishonorable discharge. Despite the fact that no one has even seen or heard from him since… that night. Despite every logical reason that screamed it would be impossible, Kukali had still hoped. She could chalk it up to an expectation of a continued routine…
