Twik slept the sleep of the emotionally exhausted, and by the time she had awoken her arm was as good as new. Growing a limb always left her ravenously hungry, but she ignored the burning in her gut for the moment, and shrugged on her clothing. Jeeko was already awake when she awoke, and so she ...

Twik began to feel the chill of the night, and pulled the blankets around herself in a clumsy and disorganized mass.

"We will get you a bow then, I am not sure where. You might not be able to use my bow, it is made of steel. You may ask whatever questions you wish, and then I will sleep."

On a ...

Twik lay still on the bed for a time, then made a mournful noise in the back of her throat.

"It may be that you will die with me in the wastes. Still, all who are born must die, so there is no sense in complaining. I will tell you what I know, which is not as much as you might suppose."

"I lived ...

While Jeeko arranged for a room, Twik made a quick circuit of the building, moving with stealth through the shadows. There was no sign of the Men with White Masks, but that meant little and Twik was not greatly reassured. She did however find a rain barrel that was half full of water.

Working ...

"Let us go then," was Twik's answer.

Twik elected to drop off the roof into an alley along the side of the building. As they walked though the streets, she kept herself on full alert, but if any of the men in white masks were still around they did not show themselves.

The nearby hotels were none ...

Twik did not turn to look at Jeeko as he spoke, and for a moment it seemed as if she hadn't heard him. But then she turned towards him, examing him for the first time. The sparks from his hand made her jump suddenly, but she remained seated and quickly regained her composure.

"I am Twik ...

Twik's whirling mind began to sort itself out, and her breathing began to slow. What ought she to do? The Men in the White Masks would never leave her in peace now that they knew she was alive. All that she could think to do was return to their lair and confront them, or more likely slay them all ...

Twik reclinded backward onto the slate tiles of the roof, staring up at the sky. Quiet sounds could be heard in the alleys to either side of the building- possibly stealthy men or perhaps bold rats. The sounds inside the tavern died away, and then there was the minute sound of whispering from in ...

Twik watched Jeeko's face move, and after a moment she realized he was speaking. The searing pain in her guts began to fade, and she gave one last despondent groan. The sword had angled up into one of her lungs, and she could feel he hole slowly sealing as she healed.

"Hide" she said, coughing and ...

Injured as she was, the green woman did an excellent job of clearing the path to the door. Tables, bodies, people, she pushed them all violently out of the way as if they were toys. The door itself had been closed, and a man stood in front of it, the candlelight playing on the white mask that ...

The green woman moved very little when Jeeko fell against her; she was like a wall of muscle with a thin soft coating. She put her arm around him protectively, as a mother might do with a child, and pulled him rapidly around herself and to the side. Something shiny flickered in the candlelight, and ...

That's OK, take what time you need. I've had a busy week myself.

As Twik scanned the audience, her eyes met and locked on Jeeko’s. She could not be sure in the poor lighting but something seemed familiar about him to her. Most of the people Twik had known had wished her some grisly sort of harm, and such recognition was likely not a good thing. She shook her head ...

The Hammer and Spring was a strange sort of establishment, but the oddness grew on one slowly. The restaurant was situated in a low building that had been sunken a yard into the earth so that a person entering had to descend three stairs when they entered. The ceiling of the place was quite low, no ...

That all looks good to me. Interested people should feel free to PM, and if you read my character application you can learn more about the masked men in question.

Every few days is a fine posting speed.
