A small gathering of two dozen surly faced men milled about the dusty and cracked concrete of the cannery’s old quay. The cannery was defunct and had been for some thirty years now. It had become the domain of the Iron Jackals for some time now, legally purchased but officially unoccupied. It...
The morning was dominated by a wall of dying birdsong and the rumble of a motorcycle’s engine chugging at a steady but lower speed than its greedy pistons demanded, coexisting with an altogether louder than expected and pervasive sound of rustling shrubs. Two figures shared a motorcycle ride...
[Priority Group Chat Message] Wake the fuck up, Bloodstones. Find a buddy, and stay with them. I don't care whose house; the Rail-yard is open for any (so help me god, Liam you better not be alone at that gate). I want everyone accounted for within 15 minutes. I'm sharing a text from Xandre...

It was almost always just on the cusp of twilight when Ragenard's headaches presented themselves. He grimaced away the literal pain and had a rueful mental laugh at the crossover of the temporal quirk with his figurative headaches as he tracked Xandre's return to the rail-yard compound on the...
