Insurgence Part 2: Dissension

[Through the Living Hope]

A month has passed since murmurs of unrest began to make their way into the city. Rumors of gods long gone. All are denied by the king. Most of the populace believes him. But there are a good number of rumors about him as well.

Quote

For those involved in season one, this is one month after the ending of that. Ivor has been king for two months at this point.

In the past month, Komat has held several rallies and tried to gain the favor of the people, with limited successes, but successes nonetheless. Yora and Cossie are still living in Taylor's apartment.

Wyvel left the restaurant, exhausted after the lunch rush. Her break was only for an hour, so if she wanted to do something, she had to do it quick. She rushed to the local convinence store, and asked one of the staff walking by- "Do you by chance have a red umbrella?"

William went around deciding to go into the city again today. it took a while to get there because he just walked and he lives out of the city, but he was starting to like spending some time around people in the city. going to the city was something he usually did once a week now, sometimes more. whenever he went it was a full days trip because it took enough time walking there and back. usually an hour or so at a normal to fast walking pace. he started wandering around just looking for something that caught my eye.
