Trapped in the city of Feinzon, Auña goes to check on Tiffany to make sure everything is going okay, while Argos is questioned by Reinholt.

B,
My parents want me to represent our house in the election. Maybe this is our opportunity. We can make change from the inside.

Auña and Argos conclude with Archibold while Tiffany's plan is finished just in time, as the storm has arrived.

Zelin,
I have made a grave mistake by holding onto the past. I find myself thankful seeing Ciza's daughter's spirits improved recently, however, I may have been betrayed by her friend and it haunts me. I know I must put aside sentimentality to do the right thing and confront her. I do not wish for the memory of you to become yet more bitter.

This episode contains content warnings of transphobic parents.

The limits of Argos' powers are put to the test, Auña gets a taste of a different life, and Tiffany must face Ida all while the storm encroaches on Feinzon.

Zelin, my love,
Fate is testing me. Ciza's daughter has joined the travelling community I found myself in but I am unsure if this is a good or bad omen. I have filled my time with duties for the community, making a bit of a name for myself, and I almost felt like I had put that chapter of my life behind me. Perhaps this is another chance to atone for past mistakes. If so then I shall be dutiful and vigilant.

Argos and Auña have to think on their feet to protect everyone - or almost everyone. Tiffany gets a taste of what it feels like to have people listen to her and support her orders.

My dearest Zelin,
I have to leave the city. I could feel the many eyes of such a dense population and it has been too long since I felt the joy of being on the road. I promised both you and Ciza to keep an eye on her daughter but it is yet another oath I must break.

Fehl Praries: Arid and dry prairies to the Northwest of the Linafer Mountains. Sometimes has heavy rainfalls that cause flooding. Canyons and rivers cut through the eroded soil.

Feinzon: The major city of the Fehl Prairies, and once a Precinct. It is stationed on a cliff's edge with a river running through the middle and ending in a waterfall off the edge of the cliff.

Linafer Mountains: Mountains and valleys with snowy peaks and sunny valleys. Rolling hills and green vegetation. Summer rains allow for mountain fed lakes.

Shineir: Town at the bottom of a valley within the Linafer Mountains. Primarily powered by wind farms. Local markets with crafts and grown food. Tight knit community, friendly to travellers.

This episode contains content warnings of feelings of disorientation and derealization and loss of family.

The crew catch each other up on what happened the first time Auña and Argos transcended and prepare to head out on the road to the city of Feinzon.

A day of last times.
Impossible to know in the moment.
What would I have done differently?

👥 CHARACTERS 👥

Argos Sandsailer [he/him]: Player character played by Lou. True name Kairos. Quiet, shy, protective of others. Stout, buzzed dark hair, chipped front tooth, dusty adventuring clothing, large netted backpack. Big knitted cowl. Protective weapons such as rudimentary noisemakers, concussive weapons, a sling.

Auña [any]: Player character played by Rally Darling. True name Sonnette. Soft, cuddly, and solid; with an infectious smile, Auña's red flowing curls bounce in loose buns over her glistening olive skin, radiating in the sunlight as she climbs each hill and scouts out the next destination. Her pale tan eyes scan the skies, soaking in the the caress of each breeze, heart breathing in the tempo of the day.

Ida Forrel [she/her]: Tiffany's friend from school. Tiffany brought her back home due to lack of opportunities in the field. Soft-spoken, especially around people she doesn't know.

Lluvia "Lluvie" Squi [they/them]: Auña's little sibling through an informal familial bond and growing up together. They are impressionable but independent. They were saved by the crew in the Linafer Mountains.

Madolyn "Mads" Ghenn [any]: Auña's tsundere rival. Doesn't know how to cope with Auña's direct affections. Unconscious after trying to help find Lluvie in the Linafer Mountains.

Odysseus/Ody: A good boy and Argos' dog. A Romanian Carpathian shepherd.

Reinholt Vine [he/him]: Mentor to Argos. Lots of bravado as a stereotypical adventurer.

Tiffany Aramis [she/her]: Player character played by Camellia Sinestris. True name unknown. A mousy but unexpectedly tall woman who is almost always hunched over, whether that's something she's reading or working on or just generally. Tiffany wears practical clothes.

⛈️ GROUPS ⛈️

The Community: The unofficial name of the collective nomadic and anarchist group that the main characters travel with.

The Synergic Precincts: The fallen empire that once spanned across Sonaru. The major cities were known as the Precincts.

Reinholt delivers a task to Argos while Tiffany and Ida comb over the data from the time in the Linafer Mountains.

I wish my body did not scream
every time I see you.
I want to remember
what a whisper feels like.
I want to remember
what laughing feels like.
I want to remember.
