Summary
Enid huffed, relaxing her grip on the doorknob and gesturing at her to go on. Her aching teeth and the small spasms starting in her hands couldn’t mean anything good, but she could give Wednesday a minute to explain herself. Even her implicit admission that there was something going on was enough to take the edge off, after a week of silence.
"The nature of their advice… unsettled me. They suggested offsetting the more macabre and morbid scenes I was unwilling to compromise on with something to cleanse the reader's palate." She paused, eyes darting to meet Enid's before resuming their steady observation of the wall behind her. "Something like a romantic subplot. For Viper."

As the world entered the third decade of the 18th century, Europe remained embroiled in a war that by all rights should have ended 10 years ago. Instead those chosen by the divine and the damned began to make themselves known, revealing powers devastating but never strong enough for decisive victory. But while Europe burns and smoke fills the skies, the rest of the world has not escaped unchanged.

“What do you mean you’re not running a path?” the Doctor asks incredulously. Forta doesn’t spare her so much as a glance. “You’re mixing a vial with the highest quality sample we have. Why would you waste – “
Forta interrupts her, suddenly uninterested in complaints she could predict even outside of her paths. But then, she has been anticipating this conflict for months. “I have decided not to trust the advice of the godling whilst I desecrate its corpse.”

Summary
“Can’t a girl call just to catch up?”
“I think we were quite clear on our opinion of you after our last meeting,” Mel said icily. “And while I usually require payment for a job, I am more than capable of acting on my own initiative.” Running the lone Thinker out of a city would take all of a week if she was even half as indiscreet as she appeared.
