    Summary

    After facing centuries of death, over and over and over, the drifter has become a little numb to it. Or, that's what he'd tell himself anyway. Regardless, there's a story to maintain, people to save, and trust to build.

    This is just a little tale of a drifter who might need all the time he's got to become what the Hex needs.

    (Currently working through introducing the Roundtable and building up Isleweaver)

    Summary

    Blade finally gets enough control over himself to bite clean through the tip of his own tongue. The real rush of blood clears the illusory taste of mara in his throat. He needs to get a grip. It’s hard when he’s just clawing himself from yet another death at Dan Heng’s hands. In the past, Dan Heng had fled from their fights the moment any opportunity presented itself.

    This time, he’s kneeling beside Blade with a grim look on his face. “I intend to prevent the calamity unfolding here. Blade... Can I count on you to help?”

    ---

    Blade and Dan Heng have a slightly longer conversation before heading to the TV station.

    Summary

    Blade breathed in and then out, slightly ragged. His grip tightened… then loosened, to something desperate instead of violent, and Dan Heng could feel the way the other man trembled, ever so slightly. Or maybe it was the both of them, for different reasons.

    Neither Blade nor Dan Heng could have ever expected to be in each other’s company as Fulwish’s plot rages on in the background, and certainly neither expected that company to be helpful. An inexplicable and unknown change turned the once-volatile combination into something capable of quieting the mara. In the process of deciphering this change, more discoveries are made along the way. The past cannot be removed or forgotten, but it can be laid to rest and smelted, to forge something anew.

    Summary

    Your name is ■■■■■■■■. But it is here, within the confines of a game, that you go by Zandar One Kuwabara, the first Genius.

    You know full well how it all ends. The foreknowledge affords you no liberty, for you are at the whims of a system, bound to an objective, and prisoner to Erudition. Your mind fractures once more, but your rage, your anguish, your hope—

    —they endure. And who better to bear the weight of it all, if not the Deliverer?

    Summary

    "The Egocentric Temporal Order (ETO) bias is the finding that self-initiated action-events are perceived as having occurred prior to simultaneous externally triggered events."

    Or: Time is a polite fiction that only matters if you're paying attention, and Anakin is neither polite nor paying attention.
