  • RoW Check-In: November 9th!

    “The next few hours passed with a dull pain that Auferrix had shoved into the back of her consciousness, and when it was over, she felt drained and empty, a dry husk. She started to believe their words, that they would be doing a favor by killing her. In just a few days, this nightmare…

  • “‘….Lucky you, a private audience and everything. The only others who earn such a privilege are myself and his whores.’ “What’s the difference?’” I always hate to admit it, but the end of Daylight Saving’s Time “Fall Back” is a godsend. It’s been a rough weekend for me on the side of work; I haven’t…

  • “‘I wish I could say that my offer still stood. That I was still utterly willing to break your bonds with the promise that you’ll come with me and we’ll get rid of the pig together, but I know you far too well now, Auferrix. I know better than that. It would never work between…

  • RoW Check-In: October 16th.

    “With a few exceptions, there was typically two common reactions to a response like that. Most of the women would slap Gilferen, firm and smooth, right across his cheek; some would actually kiss him, hands to his face with the best reminder they could muster.

  • “ ‘Some hooligan,’ he said, loftily, making himself sound more offended by such events than he actually was, ‘decided to pick a fight with me, merely on the grounds o fmy having been in his way.
