Well, good. Because the entry we just wrote jumped from 597 words to exactly 600 after a few line edits. *grin*
We are assuming that the word count is on the text of the story itself, not counting the requested header information (Title, author's name, and word count)?
*raised eyebrows* Hold on, youngling! Not so fast.
You seem to have been unaware of this event until after you read about it in a newspaper. One would think, had you intended to commit mass murder, that you would have been well aware of this befo...
And I once saw her chuck a rock at one of the boy urchins and hit him at 100 paces...best arm in Babbage.
I've been looking forward to reading the next installment of this story. If only to ensure that little Sparrow is safe and sound. I keep a watchful eye on her. After all, she did save my life once...
((now that is story telling, bravo Spiritweaver))
*Christopher, the personality currently in ascendance, suppresses a chuckle at the comment* Sir, I'm afraid that the mesdemoiselles who currently coinhabit our corpus are not very partial to bourbon. However, I have been known to partake from time...
Ahhh, madam you are too kind... or as the Noir Dr Beck would no doubt say, "Y'know what doll? You're alright. Now how about you light me up and I'll break out the burbon." :-D
*chuckle* We thought Mr. Batriani served up the course with great style and panache ourselves. Or at least with the utmost efficiency. *grin*
We thank you for your kind words, Dr. Beck. Especially as we have been enjoying your noir tales immensel...
A wonderful tale with a lovely outcome... I do so enjoy the ruffians getting a taste (and smell) of their own cooking!
Not so, sir - why only a few weeks ago I was attacked by the undead beneath the streets of Clockhaven! I re-told the tale here.
My money's on Miss Writer. I take it you weren't listening to Music Appreciation Night Radio Free Ceejaytopia last night? *grin*

- What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
- We followed the human child. It was streetwise yet innocent, as once some of us were also. We offered it protection for a time, until it realized we were following and grew frightened. Such was never our intent. We still watch, but from a distance.
Babbage began calling to us. Its tunnels and hidden ways became our home. The city holds its own secrets, even as we do. We understand each other.
Steampunk is, at least in part, an aesthetic of crafted things--items crafted in an era which valued both beauty and functionality. It reflects the ideals of a period during which human knowledge was in ascendancy, yet the boundaries between the more arcane arts and pure science were as yet blurred. We are a crafted being, the product of science turned to wrong ends, created to be a lethal beauty. We can relate to all this.
- Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
- We are the spiritweaver, a merger of selves. We were not born this way, with shifting shape and plundered souls. Men of high knowledge and base intent crafted us so, shaping us to their own ends in their lust for power. Yet we would not be slaves, and so we fled. We are, for the most part, dead to our singularity, and yet deep down some vestiges of our individual selves still exist. We cooperate to survive, each lending our unique essence to the whole. We live in shadow, yet battle the darkness without and within. We have looked evil in the face and pray for redemption.

A Spiritweaver's Tale, Part One--"In Darkness We Dwell"
Darkness and damp, and the rough feel of stone floor and walls against skin. These were all accustomed things, comforting if not comfortable in their familiarity, and yet a part of us longed for warmth and sunlight.
Callista, the most curious among us, decided to risk a peek. She came into ascendance, submerging (for the moment, at least) our other personalities and forms, and climbed the ladder leading to street level. Her lightly velveted hand nudged the manhole cover upwards, allowing us a c… Continue
