    I woke up and remembered our song

    Well, it was never really our song
    It was a song I heard once, from you, and we talked about it
    And I'm not sure if you even remember that conversation now, or if you listen to the song
    It's not like the music you play now at all

    And maybe you moved on from that, too
    Wouldn't be the first time

    But I shouldn't begrudge you
    I keep telling myself that
    You're happier now, more successful

    More (unfinished) content

    It's been a while. I could talk about things being busy, but things are always busy. I'm not going anywhere, barring very unfortunate circumstances, and I appreciate everyone who's still been following along with this account.

    Bad News, Good News

    Bad news out of the way first: I'm not going to be contributing a story to the Ancestral Tribute contest. This isn't to say that I didn't have one in the works - It's got 3k words put into it, as well as a completed structure. But after recent events, which for the sake of personal privacy I don't feel like elaborating on, I no longer feel comfortable with continuing it. Maybe I'll work on it at

Highlights from Ironclaw, Pt. 2: · 5:09pm Oct 24th, 2017

"I'm going to need a bow and arrow if I'm going to fight our enemies."
"Hah! What wolf needs a bow to fight, when you have claws and teeth?"
"I only have one claw. But it's faster and sharper than any other."

Folks, I bring you: Wolf Humor. Sorry, I mean #wolfhumor. I'm sure that the (statistically speaking, objective) dullard of the group will be able to start a glorious career as a comedian, in the middle of a war-ravaged city.

Other bits of faff and fun include:

-The party wizard performing a different sort of wizardry: the verbal kind, where you convince a riotous mob to direct their energy towards a different target, partly out of moral duty and partly to get free food from the religious soup kitchens. Hey, if it works, it works, even if the quality of the food is the sort that you'd get at a really, really bad summer volunteering event. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything.

-Our Gloriously Saintly Ferret proving to be the most dangerous member of the party, or at least the most capable one at the moment, solely because of her connections to one of the few institutions with clout in the city: the church of S'allumer. Converting to the faith never seemed like a more tempting option, and I dearly hope that a religion of peace and altruism needs a leg-breaker who's better with a bow than he is at spreading the good word.

Clearly, some Deus Vulting is in order. Of course, that'd mean wearing crusaderly armor, and good luck on getting some of that in the middle of this aforementioned war-ravaged city.

Also: Experience points! There are all sorts of potential uses for these, including bumping up my stealth skill so that people fail to notice me while they're gawking over at the tiger who's joined our motley crew. Did i mention we're at war with the tigers? I think I mentioned we're at war with the tigers. So, uh. Yeah.

Between finding good hiding spots and specializing in a long-ranged weapon, I think I'm turning into a sniper.

If Overwatch/every other FPS ever has taught me, I'm really bad at being a sniper.

S'allumer have mercy on us all.


"Do you know what an artist and a sniper have in common? Details. Like when a touch of color is out of place, when a shadow does not match with its surroundings, or when a shape is not where it is supposed to be. Also, there's this dipweed called Petrichord, and he totally sucks at it guys. Also also Да здравствует славная мать Россия"

Well, you could take up the profession of a bodyguard or watchman. That would likely be accepted more readily.
