Summary
“There’s a man, living out in the woods.”
“What?” Legundo asked, startled and not understanding. “Ren? Or, I thought Sausage was building inside of the town—“
“No, someone we don’t know,” Avid said, and now Legundo could see the genuine worry in Avid’s eyes. “Pearl and Pyro ran into him when they were on their way to town— over by the tower, in the middle of the lake,” and already that seemed so long ago, although it was only the day before. “He was cutting down the tree, and uh. I don’t know, isn’t that weird?” Avid asked, his voice pitching up plaintively on the end under Legundo’s silent regard.
(Another way to say: Louis survives the pyre. Barely.)

Summary
All of the air leaves his lungs in one fell swoop. Oxygen sticks in Avid’s trachea like solid wax. “You– you— you—”
“Me, me, me,” Scott mocks. His icy blue eyes feel like they’re piercing through Avid’s chest and soul, his face twisted into the physical manifestation of rage. “Care to explain, Avid, just exactly why you’re banging on my door in the middle of the night like a filthy commoner?”
Scott makes a deal with Avid.

Summary
Estimating the original magnitude of Hornfels' supernovae from the light curve of your models, you notice another. Two degrees south, it blossoms in a flash of blue heat and then begins to fade into something pale and cinder-dull.
You smile to yourself, tapping a little roll on the edge of your drum, and note it down as well. Timber Hearth is facing the wrong direction to see this one, so you will be the one to tell Hornfels about it. You're sure they'll be delighted to hear it.
Chert and a dozen half-hours they will never remember.

Summary
Capochin has always been the upmost loyal and devoted to his boss and best friend, Hector. Ever since he met him in that cold, lonely alleyway one night. He’s dedicated years and years to stick by his side, as a thanks of sorts for saving his life.
Now, with Hector's ascension to godhood coming up soon, it's up to Capochin to take up his role as the new head of the Bizzyboys, still continuing his role as Hector's right-hand man, of course. Capochin is driven to make sure that he'll serve his god well, upholding only the best possible image for both him and the rest of the Bizzyboys, no matter what he'd have to do.
He doesn’t want to fail his leader, after all.

Summary
"Go and get'im, then! And let a guy get his cobforsaken groceries in peace."
"Um," Alexei huffs, not falling back too far, "Ya might have some trouble with dat."
Capochin shoots him a look. "What'zit, a riot? Market on fire? World endin' again?"
"Well, no--"
"Then I'm sure that knife-happy padre's got it handled." Or whoever these weirdos go to with complaints and whatnot. It boggles him sometimes, how some of these towns are so loosey-goosey with their leadership.
...Again, maybe a good thing. He's seen the other extreme. Keep an open mind, and all.
At any rate, he keeps walking, resolutely tuning out Alexei's pleas, which at some point blend into Alexei's distracted ramblings about how his new gig's been going. A lot of picking fruit and getting caught eating it, it sounds like. Good on him. Not surprising, either. After everything that happened, it'll be the young pups like him that bounce back.
