‘Blast!’ I muttered to myself, as my car skidded to a stop outside of the local tavern, its angry snorting kicking up straw and dirt. ‘Well, ‘ello!’ came a cry from inside, and a burly man in an ill-fitting tunic stumbled out of the doors, mead horn held aloft. ‘What do we ‘ave here, then?’ …
Reginald continued to stare at Remy as the rat swung the hammer wildly around the room. Remy didn’t seem to care that he had just broken into a stranger’s house and was very quickly destroying it. In fact, Remy seemed to think that he was doing Reginald a favour. Reginald ran out of the bathroom …

I feel like this is the first chance I’ve had to do something normal in a very long time. I’ve been going on these adventures lately – some absolutely wild and wacky quests that involve taking down a group of mechanists that want to rule the world, as well as my journey to bring down …
Twenty-four hours is a long time. This time twenty-four hours ago I was in the depths of despair. I was truly unable to think for myself because of how upset I was. It was really bad and it made me really concerned for the future of myself and the future of our relationship. That’s probably …
