Unwelcome Guests

The journey to the Envoy ends with surprises.

Just joining us? The adventure starts HERE!  Nym marveled at the labyrinth of tunnels fanning out in all directions beneath the unaware city of Meiville.  The corridors were constructed of  light stone with gas lamps burning every few hundred feet. The walk was damp and a bit confusing and she found it difficult to keep her sense of direction. Only Mayor Perryn seemed to remain oriented in the…

Inconveniences 

Eudora is summoned to her father's home for orders.

Join the story from the beginning HERE   Eudora Carton rested the bow of her violin and sighed. The music was a nice distraction. It was metered and organized and wonderfully mathematical. Sitting on the veranda of her father’s estate, the crisp spring breeze chilling her shoulders, she felt entirely irritated. Her attendance had been requested and she knew better than to refuse, but her father…

Possession

Marcel reconnects with a past friend who has run too far and for too long.

Just joining us? Click here! Marcel walked carefully over the barren and rocky crags of the volcanic island. He knew from the readings he had been monitoring (before the crash claimed his vessel and almost his life), that the source of his search would be near. The terrain was rough and inhospitable, with small streams of steaming, molten rock flowing in ashen and crimson folds toward the misted…

Kindling a Flame

Marcel and TriAnna continue to learn about one another in the long ago world of Lys.

The adventure begins HERE! “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”  ― Socrates TriAnna sat upon the ground with a book in her lap. She was humming sweetly as Marcel worked under his damaged vessel. She visited him daily and never empty handed. She brought him food and water,  strange tools or unusual parts and most importantly she brought him books. At first they were…

Tiny Surprises

TriAnna reveals an amusing ability as she and Marcel learn more about one another. Before.

To join the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE!  Marcel Ghostraven was trying to solder a hinge on the hatch of his wrecked vessel.

Mayor Perryn

To join the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE!  Mayor Perryn Peterson was not happy when he returned home. His meeting with the city council had been frustrated and unproductive.

Businesses were suffering as people feared gathering gathering in public spaces , and trade was grinding to a halt…

Identity

Nym and Amos explore identity and intimacy.

To live the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE!  Amos lay in his bed listening the soft falling of  spring rain. It was the dark hours of the early morning and he found himself feeling an electric mix of emotions that made it hard to sleep. It had been years since he had rested in the home of Perryn and Mike but in so many ways the room that he had always slept in felt exactly the same. The…

Family

Amos reconnects with his past.

To join the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE!    Mike Kiligrew was more than a little surprised by the sudden appearance of Eudora Carton and her friends. It was late in the evening and he was in his smoking jacket and slippers and had been preparing to enjoy a pipe and a book before bed when the bell rang. His grey hair was a wild mop on his head, his mustache unwaxed. “I’m terribly…

Daddy's Girl 

Nym gets to know Eudora and questions everything.

To join the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE!   Eudora Carton did not like killing people but in her mind there were simply some lines that could not be crossed. The pistol was warm in her hand and she watched petulantly as the body that was once Marcus fell to the ground. Chaos was erupting all around her as she pulled her hands back into her dainty white gloves. People, she thought, are…

Events in Motion

Marcel and TriAnna meet in another time and place

Journal entry * Captain Marcel Ghostraven * 4.11.16  The initial trials of the Auric Rectifier are complete and I am pleased that preliminary recordings indicate suitable conditions for a maiden voyage- perhaps as soon as tomorrow evening. I have double and triple checked my calculations. If I am correct, my departure and return should be almost synchronous, but it is better to leave nothing to…

Little Lights

Amos and Nym recover.

To join the adventure from the beginning click here! Nym rested back into her chair and feeling the chill of the night air and wrapped her blanket more securely around her shoulders. She wore only her petticoat dress, her amber hair falling fluidly over her shoulders.

Trixie "Trix" Nymphae

Youthful rebellion leaves Marcel marooned and Trix in the clutches of Kronos.

To join the adventure from the beginning CLICK HERE Trix watched from within her automatonic cog as the unconscious body of her father floated away. She felt very little sadness though, watching him adrift in the Oehn Sea, on the perimeter of time in an ancient epoch of a foreign dimension. She was too angry with him for that. The remnants of their submarine was sinking into the depths and she…

Stand Up Guy

Amos makes a choice and faces consequences.

Amos stood holding the Apport Sextant. He turned it over in his hands, feeling it’s weight. It was Heavy but not anywhere near the weight of his heart. Nym had turned her back on him, perhaps forever, and he could feel the emotion in the room choking him. He took the apparatus and put it into his bag. “They’ll kill me, Nym.” He said. The only words he could find. “They’ll kill me if I don’t give…

Through her lifting fog she could see the golden light from a single window and she…
