WWW #25: The Retinue

The stars at the top of the world begin to align, and the meeting of the coven draws ever nearer. Old debts are paid and new collateral is put on the line. Ame plays politics, Eursulon plays cowboy, and Suvi's not playing around, not even a little. Remember, the number one rule of hospitality and protocol is never ever tell your host that all your rowdy friends are coming over tonight. They hate that.

Phone rings, door chimes, in comes company. The Italians call it "hospitaliano," that open armed attitude that makes guesting and having guests molto fun. Whether you're hosting, being hosted, or hosting again because you forgot the first time, always remember, it’s dangerous to refuse a guest, and sometimes worse to be one.  Worlds Beyond Number is: [Brennan Lee Mulligan] (https://twitter.com/brennanlm) [Erika Ishii] (https://twitter.com/erikaishii) [Aabria Iyengar] (https://twitter.com/quiddie) [Lou Wilson] (https://www.instagram.com/sweetlouzinho/)  and is produced, designed, and scored by [ Taylor Moore ] (https://twitter.com/taylordotbiz) at [Fortunate Horse ] (https://fortunatehorse.com/) with exquisite design and editing help from [Jared Olson] (https://www.jaredolsonaudio.com/) SPECIAL THANKS TO: Tazer Army, Shannon, and Amanda Freberg!

Interlude: Twelve Brooks

Behold! A generous teaser of our first "Interlude," an in-world canon one-shot where the cast gathers to create, expand, and play hitherto unseen people and places within the world of Umora.

Tick tock. Tick tock. What time is it? How much is left? Can we have five more minutes? The gang's investigation has pierced the veil of the Citadel, and peering back at them through the penumbra is the great iron face of a clock, hands moving up and down, rotating and returning like the silent islands in the sky.

Wars and rumors of wars. Thrilling new weapons to titillate the thanatos urge of even the most inured imperial citizen. Heroes-to-be assemble and depart.

Names are great. They let people know what to call things. You can read them, write them, put them on a list. If you know someone's name you can send them things, invite them places, say it quietly, in wonder or fear. A name can stick in your mouth like butter or blood. You can make one up, get a new name, do whatever you want. No downsides. None.
