Twilight Mirage 53: Our Flaws in a Vacuu...

Friends at the Table
About this episode

Despite the faux-mornings and would-be-nights, the sun never rises or sets over the Quire system. Yet today, in the moments between light and darkness, the air hangs too quiet, the way it only does at dawn and dusk. As Fourteen Fifteen guards the scientist and artist Wind's Poem in a well-barricaded hotel room, Tender Sky goes to convince her ex, Open Metal, not to kill the Notion's Ward. Meanwhile, miles and miles away, Morning's Observation and Grand Magnificent search for answers in the floating allocology of the Church of the Self.

Dark Day is here. But will it arrive, or be finally diverted?

This week on Friends at the Table: Our Flaws in a Vacuum, or the Promise We Made To Each Other

Click-clicking my heels wishing away the day Wish it could have been Tuesday, just not today
