I believe, Impulse, a voice that is distinctly not a ghost says, that it's about time we spoke.

Impulse's head jerks up from where he's been resting against one corner of the pyramid, waiting for the crops to grow.

Here's the thing -- he'd know if this was a ghost. He really, really would. He's gotten used to the way they cue themselves in, the way they sound, the way they flit around just out of sight all session. The flickers of familiarity in the back of his head when he says something odd. The quality of their voices, fuzzy and distant.

So this is not a ghost. Because he has not seen or heard any ghosts all session.

Whatever is here and is not a ghost laughs quietly, and Impulse winces. That voice is loud and crisp. Distant, sure, but he gets the feeling that distance doesn't exactly mean much to them.

You can keep thinking it over if you want, the non-ghost says. There's plenty of time for that. But I doubt you'll figure it out on your own.

Yeah. Point two. The ghosts don't generally read his mind.

"Where were you all session?" he says under his breath, in case the sharp tone bearing down on him isn't a mind-reader and is just good at reading his body language.

Observing. Another sharp hmph sort of laugh. It's taking me quite a bit of effort to reach you, you know. I can't make these sorts of connections at random.

"Any reason why?"

I needed to be... subtle. You are solidly within my domain, of course, but I really prefer to not be bothered while I'm working.

Impulse thinks this over for a few seconds. Impulse opens his mouth.

Not Watchers, comes a sharp reply. Although I am capable of sharing. But they don't need to know that.

"You," Impulse says, "are up to no good."

It's a death game, Impulse. One echoing the very past itself. Nobody here is up to any good, and anyone who tells you so is lying.

Impulse considers this for a bit as well, then stands up from where he wasn't actually sitting, because, well, you can't just sit on the ground anywhere in modern Minecraft, let alone an old beta version of the game.

"Yeah. I know it's a death game. That's what I signed up for. And you missed a bunch of great moments to chime in with commentary during the session, so what's the point in talking to me now?"

He regrets changing his tone immediately. Not because he's unsure how far he can push that invisible wall with whatever this thing is, but because they sound so insufferably smug when they respond that he knows they were waiting for him to do exactly that.

Plausible deniability, the presence says. Anything I tell you is something you could simply have gleaned from other sources.

Smug? Proud? Maybe both.

"Okay, go on, make the pitch," Impulse says.

Help me help you. That's all.

"That is the least trustworthy thing I have ever heard anyone say," Impulse responds immediately, just in case they add anything else first. "You know that, right?"

I don't need you to find me trustworthy. When has that kind of thing ever helped you?

Oh, that's... okay. The non-ghost is straight up evil. Great to know.

Evil is a relative term, Impulse. Surely you know that by now. Moral alignment is a fickle thing largely in the eye of the beholder -- ah, I'm getting ahead of myself.

"You're not a Watcher, whatever those are," Impulse says. It's technically a question, but they both technically know the answer. "But you're something. So what do you actually want?"

I told you the truth. I won't mince words further. You want to win? Come find us.

"Us," Impulse repeats. "There's more than one of you."

Of course. History is written by the victors, you know.

...That's the kicker, isn't it. He really doesn't.

made some sleepy animal yule tree ornaments to gift to friends! i might do a second batch that includes baubles for me, my partner, and a couple of other friends, but that might also be a job for next year.

also, taking all of my pictures on the kitchen table continues because it is cousin oskaar hours up here in the north and the kitchen window gets the most light.

Goodbye, prisoners with paralytic abasia! Hello, repaired relationship with Mechi's father!!! If only Lapu (and the rest of Mechi's family) had the decency to actually SHOW UP sometime so we can make use of it.

We also had other rewards, of course. Plenty of silver and a book that Ivy can stack on the shelf with the rest of her collection, even though it's nothing compared to what she's already got.

look I saw the chance to draw it and I just had to take it okay

NOOOO!! PLEASE NOT THIS ONE!! THIS IS THE OUTCOME I LEAST WANTED TO HAPPEN 😭😭

Beau's hostile rampage led her right into the path of our cleansweeper mechanoid, and meant that the closest people able to intercept her were Kwahu and, tragically, her new boyfriend Jut.

Well, Jut is good at what he does. Beau is down for the count. Fingers crossed that if we work really hard, we can still fix this🤞

We report: there is only a light breeze on the beach, but it is enough to carry a substantial amount of sea-spray. Only the ocean can tire us out this way, make us bone-weary, and the cold has gone to our feet despite all our layers. We also feel particularly alive.

My horrible no good very annoying coworker just hung up on a lady who had spent 24K on beds and when she called back he did not even apologize. Like. What.

Just a couple of girls from The Free Marches

"I can't believe the girl I taught to weave flowers at the Arlathvhen grew up to be the 'fearsome' Inquisitor."

"I can't believe Varric didn't put two and two together sooner that we might have already known each other."

"Try not to blame him, you're so different from the girl I knew from back then."

"I'm still just a Dalish girl from The Marches"

now that my time at the boston tea party is coming to a close, im reflecting on my favorite facts and i think the best one is that one of the guys involved (my nemesis lendall of the john gray gay panic incident) is the distant ancestor of the guy who made the first philosoraptor meme.

history is a funny thing

We report on the moon side of things: one, two, three nights in a row we have been able to see the moon on its way down. For the month of January, this is nothing short of a miracle. A waxing gibbous, kept from the cold by the small clouds surrounding it, or so we hope.
