 Scorpio flipped his hammer straight into the air as he jogged toward the Church. The hammer spun end over end, arcing before him while he attempted to keep a slow but steady pace. There was a sharp satisfying slap as the handle met his meaty palm, where he promptly flipped the hammer through the air again. He huffed and puffed his way through the jog, sucking in the frigid early morning... |
 It takes years of study and excellent test scores to be selected as a Steward of the ‘medicinals’ for the Church of the Builder. Sister Loxely began her studies in the area at a young age and took to it naturally. She quickly gained her place amongst her sisters in the convent of Caraca as their Steward and took up that same position when she transferred to New Babbage two years ago. ... |
 Dear Mr. Arnold: As tomorrow is the 29th day of February in the Year of the Builder 188x, we both must acknowledge that you have successfully fulfilled the terms of your contract with me. You have performed your duties with utmost competence, and I will tender a letter of recommendation if you wish. Within this envelope you will find renumeration for your effort. ... |
Dear Mr. Mornington: I do believe the filthy little urchin delivering this note to you is the same that trotted your cleverly-disguised letters to my door. Unfortunately, sir, identifying you as the sender was a simple matter, as was verifying the authenticity of the missives from my neice and her...companion. That said, I must commend you on the level of skill and craftiness... |
 I've just been catching up with the rather amusing Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, which is currently airing on BBC2. The series is appearing on iPlayer, but I notice the pilot is also floating around. *cough* It's a highly silly Dickensy spoof, but contains much that might appeal to a... |

 Spotted a strange (boy is she ever strange) girl this morning apparently after she hijacked one of the misplaced museum exhibits for a joyride around town accompanied by a familiar looking little... plant..?

 “First they will cleanse him in preparation for the sacrifice.” said their new acquaintance, the Queen’s Guard whose name they were to learn was Sir Benjamin Lovett, son of Mumford. “Evil!” cried Gadget. “It’s not enough to kill ‘im, they ‘asta torcher ‘im first. Poor Mister Brother.” “After he has been cleansed they will await the setting of the sun. If they sacrifice him while... |
 Dear Mr. Cleanslate, You will recall the insurance policies I took out dated January 1st, 18[a tear has blurred the rest of the date]. I knew starting off the new year with all my business affairs brought up to date would be a good idea. I'm afraid yesterday I was hit with a double catastrophe; the White Rabbit Restaurant and Gallery (policy #457ac by my records) was the victim of a... |
In ancient times, back in that epoch when New Nublar was still known as Old Nublar, grandmothers used to spin tales of terror to entertain the village children as they drifted off to dreamland. In hushed and prophetic tones they spoke of conspiracies and controversies… of a future age, when the Great God of the North would do battle with the Fire Wielding Demon of the South.
