  1. Janice started crying into her shoulder.
  2. "UPs are unexplainable until the feds get a hold of them and start studying. Why do you think UPs are taken by the government? It's not for the safety of their loyal 'colonists.'"
  3. "You will?" Her eyes widened hopefully.
  4. "I could teach you." Janice pressed closer to Aryanna. "I just... need someone to be... like a mother."
  5. Janice rested her head on Aryanna's shoulder, still shaking, but feeling safer. "My mom would... she would sing a song to me every night. I don't remember what it's called, but I remember the words. She said the words meant that she would always be my mother, and I'd always be child, and if I needed someone to be there for me and love me like a daughter, then even if she was gone there would be. So when I met you... because you were there for me... you're still there for me... I--" She swallowed. "Could you... I was wondering if... if you could sing it for me."
  6. "I was three." Janice pulled up the end of her cloak and ran her fingers along the Trace on her right arm. "I was already like this. My parents never hated me or called me anything because of these. When I lost them, everyone started... being mean, and... calling me soulless. They said I was a monster. Nobody loved me. My mom was really the only person who did, but... she was gone." Janice worked her fingers, then closed her fist and continued. "I thought nobody would ever love me again. I thought I was going to live and die a monster like everyone said. But then... I met you." She looked up and met Aryanna's eyes. "You were the first person to ever look at me and not hate me since my mom. You've never called me a monster or soulless or anything. And I... I'm..." She closed her eyes and squeezed out a single tear. "Thank you."
  7. "What do we need to do?" Alex asked, sending a glance at Davey. Myrna sat back and thought for a second. "Keep them safe. They're going to be important for... something. I'm not sure what, yet."
  8. "Knowing your boys' luck and knack for trouble? Yes."
  9. "My mom said I was," Janice replied. "But I didn't understand what she meant back then."
  10. "You're my only family." Janice relaced her fingers. "Did I ever tell you that I was going to have a little sister before my parents died?"
  11. "Were we her only real family?"
  12. "I don't know. She said she was going back home."
  13. "Cadenza being gone."
  14. Janice laced her fingers together, sitting in silence for a few minutes. Her hands still shook, and her gaze was distant. "It just doesn't feel real," she said finally.
  15. "Can you..." Janice gestured for her to sit down.
  16. Taken, are you still Taken, or are you a different Taken now?

  17. "Hm. So I guess it's probably safe to assume that the empires are in an uneasy alliance with Fjorden, then?"
  18. Question: Is the other RP still going? Because ours is dead.
  19. Status Update: Working on a sci-fi D&D campaign. It's got shooty-shooty-bang-bangs, click-beep-booms, and SPACESHIPS.

  20. "I guess that makes sense, but while it would be a big inconvenience to blow away an entire population, it's not like either of these empires haven't done it before."
  21. "But what would such powerful empires get out of an alliance as opposed to just conquering everything?"
  22. "Nothing yet. I'm just trying to answer a big question: why the cosmere?" Ayia scratched her head. "Why would people like the Witherlord or Karus team up with the Wyrn of all people? And why not just conquer the place instead?"
