New reader? Start here. Back to Part 051 Notes – Forward to Part 053 Notes I like to think that Xiphos drops vague, unclear, potentially important news on Toby and then leaves a lot, such as the “let’s go live on the Prime Meridian” conversation they had. I think she does it on purpose, that [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 050 Notes – Forward to Part 052 Notes I guess off the bat I should talk about why there’s only a mention of Penny Dreadful, and no actual pirate. A lot of it has to do with me having a very weird week. The rest stems from that. [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 044 Notes – Forward to Part 046 Hey! It’s that guy! I’ve been giddy about posting this section for a while now. It’s a big reveal, and this is more or less the way I wanted it to happen. I know some of you had your suspicions, and [...]

New reader? Start here. Back to Part 043 Notes – Forward to Part 045 Notes So, despite technical difficulties, I managed to get this section out on time. Not bad, considering I got my computer back three hours before deadline. Also, that’s why there’s any spelling errors or typos. *ahem* I’m about 90% happy with [...]
