5-1-4786 19:02 Universal Standard Time (UST) Xihga, Ilverth It’s time. There are few things that Gwendolyn enjoys more than watching a plan come together. Fewer as time goes on and things change and shift. And now, right this moment, she’s managed to get all of the pieces in place – and even managed to be prepared for the one that came out of nowhere, though perhaps she’s not quite as emotionally ready for that last one as she’d like to be. Months of work and creeping behind the scenes, and…

5-14-478612:14 Universal Standard Time (UST)Block 4, LAGOON 13 In the end, it had never really been a choice at all. Oh it had been phrased like one in the beginning. Those words still echo in Yilmaz’s head – the Duce leaned against his desk and calmly sliding the evidence back to Yilmaz with “Find someone else to blame. I won’t accept this.” Because of course, the culprit had been Riptide. Of course, the culprit had defenses in high places. To think that just days ago Yilmaz had been…

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…
