    Jack is remembering more and more of himself. His memories flash over me when he touches me. His appearance has shifted from the corpse-gray Blemmey, to the young blond boy of Sir Nathaniel’s desires, to the emaciated black youth that died in the doctor’s tent. The hunger never changes though. He is always hungry.

    The trembling shook every joint until his body sounded like a pile of sticks being tossed into a forgotten corner. But he was already in the corner. And all but forgotten. But he would remember him, right? He tried to call for him but only a plaintive whine came forth. He was too wracked to…

    Shower time! ~singing~ Gonna wash that filth right outta my hair! Ah… Hot water on full blast. Peppermint oil soap. Spiders on the curtains. And the walls. And the ceiling. Awesome. S’up guys?

    Now that it’s morning… Have a meeting with one guy, about another guy, and hope I don’t get drunk under the table. (Again.) Scheduled for today. Have a carriage waiting for me. Thought I’d make that appointment last night. Got sent on a different errand instead. The requester is patient, thankfully, as is her messenger.…

    The mermaid (I think) peeled the tattooed flesh off the remains of the spelunking treasure hunter. One last pause to offer me again. I just smiled and waved her on. She sloppily licked the dripping blood then settled into chewing her favorite part of human anatomy. Eating chicken thighs is going to be interesting when…

    “I’m supposed to be behaving! You’re not making it easy!” I whispered and nudged the grinning man perched in the tree with me. The others with us silently giggled. “Yea, well, you shouldn’t have come with us, then!” He feigned offense but smiled with glee. He was dressed with renaissance flair. All of us were.…

    “Are we going to fight about this?” Fifty feet of prepared muscles crossed over my legs and circled me. “No, Snake, we’re not. I’m too tired. It’s been a day.” As he moves, I rest a hand on him so his scales slide under my palm. Snake gently coiled around me on the pallet. “Good.”…

    After leaving Thor, Sif, Loki, and [the boy], I thought that was the extent of my dreaming adventures last night. It wasn’t. A funny thing happened on the way back to the lair. I’ve spent the morning in thought, trying to reconstruct the clues left behind. I wasn’t going to say anything but the clues…

    Heavy clouds clung to distant mountains and teased the ancient pines nearby. I stepped out of the thick forest into a fallow field. The season of wildflowers had ended. The season of seeds and fading glories were underway. The wind whipped around me but my leathers were made well. The cold of the Nine Worlds…
