  1. QF64 Cycle Four: The Fourth Voice Are you sure we should be out and about? Especially with what’s been happening lately. I think we’ll be fine. This isn’t a bad part of town; we’re just going to meet with Winzik. !!! Like I said, we’ll be fine! It’s not like we’re going to die. Jennal died. But Jennal was… Jennal. I’m a respected— !!!!!!! What? What is i– Someone seized the dione from behind. “Gotcha,” whispered a fourth voice in the dione’s ear, oozing with malice. *** “Kalli is late,” said Faela – Winzik’s secretary. That struck Winzik as odd: Kalli was never late, especially not to such an important meeting. Faela’s face fell as they looked at their wristpad. “Ah…” they said. “Someone just found her.” “Dead or alive?” Winzik knew it was a stupid question. “Very, very dead.” “Lock the building,” said Winzik. Faela issued a few quick taps to their wristpad. “Done.” “Now, do a count of everyone here. Look to see if there’s anyone missing.” “I’ll get a guard on that right away.” “No. You. You’re the only one I’m sure hasn’t been, ah, compromised.” Faela nodded and hurried out the door. *** Fifteen minutes later, a message popped up on Winzik’s computer: “Only absent is Earendil. Exterminate?” Winzik didn’t like killing someone on so bare of a hunch, but he didn’t have any room for weakness. Not anymore. After a moment’s notice, he typed: “Ok.” ----- Fifth Scholar was executed! They were an SDPS Member! Devotary was killed! She was an Inner Circle Member!

  2. “Do you think it would work?” I’ikeq asked Kaeni.
  3. “Didn’t Mercury just say she could ‘blast apart its skull in a blast of lightning’?”
  4. “I don’t know if I’ll be of much use against it,” said I’ikeq.
  5. “That’s all the way back down near the base of the mountain!” I’ikeq said. “We’ve been lucky so far with avoiding monsters — if we lose all our progress, we might not be as lucky the second time around.”
  6. That was a mistake. *long, drawn-out sigh*
  7. QF64 Cycle Three: Triple Threat Adding Fuel to the Fire liked to think of herself as a triple threat. She was a mean pazaak player, you didn’t smell of fur when you heard her singing voice, and she was a very good accountant for the SDPS. None of that helped her, however, when she caught a faint whiff of something in an alleyway during her float to work. It smelled like… her mother? She’d died in the war… Fuel drifted towards it, curious. The alley was dark and damp and altogether unpleasant; she turned to go when she heard a voice from deeper within. “Got her.” “Got wh-” asked Fuel. A horrible smell assaulted her senses; pain burning through her. Chlorine gas, she realized, too late; if she spent too long exposed to it, her scent would vanish and she… She would… “Die, Superiority scum!” Fuel faded away. *** Winzik had cut off all communications. “Don’t let anyone into or out of the office,” he’d said to his secretary, who had nodded and locked the doors. The only people inside were trusted SDPS members. Or were they? Winzik knew the scourge had access to hologram technology. Had one of his subordinates already been replaced? Discontent, he’d left the building and made himself at home in a safehouse in a different part of Starsight, then posted guards inside his office. A message popped up on his comms, from his secretary: Figment accountant has been declared missing. Spy? Winzik replied. Could be. Could be unrelated. Time passed. Winzik grew steadily more impatient. Then, another message: Got him. *** John Johnson thought of himself as a triple threat. He baked, he was an excellent storyteller, and he could fly a starship like nobody’s business. None of that helped with special-ops missions. “The UrDail want a human representative, and you’re the we’ve got,” the DDF had said. He highly doubted that, given the fact that his misguided attempt to sneak into Winzik’s office had left him tied to a chair and bound with an excessive amount of rope. “See, it’s a hologram,” said one of the guards, a tenasi, poking through the illusion of a dione that surrounded him. “What do you intend to do with me?” “Well,” the other one, a dione, said, “we just received direct orders to kill you. Sorry.” “What?!” John said incredulously as the dione unhooked a blaster from their belt. His last thought before the guard lifted the blaster to his head and fired was that this was not how he thought he’d be spending his month off. ----- Wizard was killed! They were an SDPS Member!

  8. Time! Rollover should be up soonish, but my computer's being weird so idk.
  9. I’ikeq held back a scream, ducking and rolling behind a stone. The best option, he knew, was to wait out the battle: his skills were of little to no use here; he’d just hold the others back and maybe get himself killed.
  10. No. Insanity and Almond both posted today. Edit: didn’t see Kas’s post
  11. The clicking was getting closer. “When it rounds the corner,” said I’ikeq, “surround and kill it quickly before it has a chance to do too much damage.”
  12. Wonder if it was a two-dollar bill or two ones or what. Wwydiyf an xkcd comic iyp?
  13. I‘ll offer a poorly-trained high-school band. I have leftover potato latkes.
  14. Missing y/16 :/ (they’re good dogs brent)
  15. Unfortunately, Thaidakar’s statement was false.
  16. I do! In fact, I have a link to one in my signature. You should click it. TPBM has GMed.
  17. Robert Jordan -> Rebort Drajon -> Reborn Dragon -> Dragon Reborn Robert Jordan is the Dragon Reborn!
  18. Ok this I can answer. Someone's in-thread VC missed Silvereye's vote on Dannex, and that VC became the basis of the rest of your VC's for the turn.
  19. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Here I'll just say this: there was no vote manip this turn. Your GM is just bad at VC's
  20. Sorry. This is what happens when a) you don’t follow the VC and then rush it during rollover and b) you go to sleep right after rollover and don’t wake up until 12 hours later. Bookwyrm’s vote was not removed.
  21. 1500 posts! :lol:

    I wasn't paying attention and used my milestone on blowing the whistle on an SE turn. :P

    1. The Unknown Medallion

      The Unknown Medallion

      That is a perfectly good use of your 1500th post. Starting the next turn would have been preferable though.
