"With like, a camera? I suppose yours are far more advanced then the ones I'm thinking of. It's fine with me if it means we can get to safety."

"Don't worry, it'll be great! I even have jam and butter!"

On his way out of Truehearth, March realized that he couldn't just leave the rest of the party in the city. They had helped August and July, and were essentially accomplices in helping them run. So, he backtracked and arrested Arke, Niamh, Ma'tani, and anyone else who was with us. @The Bookwyrm @TheRavenHasLanded @Through The Living Glass After about a day of travel outside of the city they ran into June and October, who were chasing August. They are now helping March arrest and take everyone away March explains (because it's about time I give full context to everyone), that they months all serve the emperor of a nearby empire named Worru. August and July are contract bound to certain responsibilities and running away was a violation of that. This is why they are being arrested. As accomplices, the rest of the party is being brought along too. March, June and October have a lot of authority as months of Worru, so there's no point in asking local authorities to rescue you. April has gone ahead to speak with the emperor in advance and explain what has happened. @Spark of Hope Luckily, and because I didn't think this through very well, the capitol of the empire is near the border, and only a week's journey. The capitol is called Jouken, and is where the emperor's palace is, this is where everyone is being taken. The journey is tense, and there is little comradery between the months in the party. They all seem eager to be going home. June replaced March in Guarding July, and is very clearly not on friendly terms with August. October is guarding August. The group stops at a tavern 4 days after leaving true hearth to rest and get supplies before the last leg of the journey. (This is your chance to introduce your new character @Exotic Almond). We can also have some character interactions if you guys want, but we will time skip to Jouken soon so that we can get the plot moving again. @BlueWildRye Feel free to jump in with a character at anytime. @The Bookwyrm -------------------------- The tavern was as stereotypical as you would expect. At least it didn't seem extremely shady, and the roof looked secure. March insisted on taking care of the horses, and let everyone else go ahead. June went inside and bought rooms for everyone--a surprising luxury for prisoners, but the months had money to throw around it seemed. August and July were immediately taken to their shared room, and locked inside. Everyone else was allowed to wander, but October and March kept a close eye on them. June returned to the common room, and started playing his flute quietly in one corner. He seemed distressed at locking up his brother, and played to comfort himself. October settled himself at the bar and ordered a drink, watching the others and idly chatting with the barkeeper. He seemed relieved they'd found both August and July at the same time, less work for him. March stayed outside, leaning against the wall and enjoying the fresh air. Ready to grab anyone who attempted to run. The common room was warm and friendly, despite their hostile company. Fires were light in the hearth as the sun began to set. Man from nearby villages finished their workday and came to chat with friends and have fun. October got glances for his armor, but nothing more.

Nera went to bed after watching their exercise. It was interesting, but not really her thing. Not to mention she didn't want to over-train and be incapable tomorrow. The rest of the camp has pretty much wound down, and it's now midnight. @Spark of Hope @Dragonheir @SpiritOfWrath @Just_a_Fan

Sharlin glanced over her shoulder. "Well, I wouldn't stop moving for while yet . . . this island had better have a mountain tall enough that we don't get swept away." @Lord Spirit @TheRavenHasLanded @The Bookwyrm

"Oh yeah, I guess that's true," He said, realizing how tone deaf he'd sounded. "I know I shouldn't find myself wanting to remember more but . . ."

"You both remember so much," Lee said sheepishly. "It's all a blur for me, really."

@Spark of Hope

The timer was less then three minutes. "Not much longer."

Penn didn't seem to notice. "If you think about it too hard, it stops working," he explained sternly.

Welcome to the Shard!! Who's your least favorite Sanderson character out of everything you've read? Do you like bagels?

lol that's so funny, Adolin is probably my favorite Brandon character ever--though it's probably because he fits into a character archetype I already really like. Nice to meet you!!

I always think of Fullmetal alchemist as a great example of the manga being the best version of the story. It has too anime adaptations, one better then the other, but both don't tell the story with it's original pacing and all of the correct scenes. So, I feel like the manga is best just because it tells the story in the most complete way. But I often gravitate towards manga in general because I prefer experiencing the story through the direct way the original artist intended. Anime adaptations can be very very good, but sometimes a little of the magic is lost when you don't get to the see the original panels which are half of the story telling. I never finished the MuShiShi anime, but I read the whole manga and the manga was sooo much better. The anime was just a basic story with somewhat poor animation, but the manga was beautiful drawn and much more poetic. Maybe because I want to draw my own comics someday, I analyze the craftsmanship of manga more closely. There are also certain stylistic choices that can't be reflected in anime. Like Witch Hat Atelier, which is drawn in an intricate, almost art nouveua style but from the one anime trailer we have, it looks like it'll be greatly simplified for the sake of animation. This is so true! I think both me and my older brother have a hard time recommending stuff to each other because of one or two unnecessary scenes. I recently read a really great manga with a few of those scenes (that I felt comfortable reading because it wasn't explicit and made sense in the story from a practical viewpoint), but I don't know if I could ever recommend it lol

^^^^^^ THIS

"No it won't it'll end just on time, it's just going faster then normal," He explained patiently.

"Oh thanks!" He put them in with his free hand. "It does work, it's just faster, y'know."

"Alright, I wish I had earplugs or something . . ." He'd set the oven to 15 minutes but the timer was counting down much faster then normal.

"Well okay then, I doubt they'd have something like it where I come from anyway," Penn said as he set the oven's timer. "It'll be done in a bit."

"What's that? I've served in several militarys but never as a scout."
