@shylarah Holy moly! Those are incredible!

Who's the artist, if you don't mind me asking? I love their style! It's got kind of Disney vibe to it, which I adore.

Also, it's so weird seeing my "design" of Rodion used by an actual artist haha

Ugh, Having one of those nights where things aren't really clicking for me creatively. Post is halfway done but I'm kind of trudging through mud at this point. Will try my hardest to finish it tomorrow. Sorry, guys.

@The Angry Goat Oh god.

@CollectorOfMyst @shylarah

Will have your reply up tomorrow! Had to work a 12 hour day today and I'm tired as a mofo :(

@CollectorOfMyst Ten lashes would suck in the moment, but pupils in the Red Seminary regularly get fucked up on the training yard. They'd have some gnarly scars afterwards but I feel they'd be able to endure that kind of punishment relatively easy.

@shylarah That sounds cool! Maybe Ziotea broke the lock? The catacombs are supposed to be locked, which is why Indira sneaked Viveca the key. If they were caught, they were probably punished in some way, but not too severely. I'm thinking they each might've gotten like ten lashes, or something like in that vein?

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@CollectorOfMyst Well, aside from thinking that Ziotea is a bit unstable, Indira barely knows her. She wouldn't trust her with this incredibly sensitive info, even if she is half-Omestrian. Not saying that Indira is in any way right or wrong to do this, but she definitely didn't give Ziotea so much as a glance after she flunked out of the Summoner's Circle all those years ago.

@CollectorOfMyst I think Vivica was wondering how Indira knew about the existence of this book and how she knew that Viveca would be able to find the book in the catacombs, which is a mystery in itself.

Also, one thing that @Scout didn't mention, the book is a diary of sorts belonging to the boy in the sarcophagus.

As for the transmission, I'll be PMing the actual content of it to you and @OppositionJ at the start of Chapter 1, which we're almost getting to!

EDIT: Oops! Misread your post, Myst! Yeah, you're right. Indira knows about the circle because she, along with any other inquisitors who have Omestrian blood flowing through them, all glimpse it in their Culmination visions.

@OppositionJ

There's actually going to be something Tatiana-specific in the next reply, concerning her dad. So, you can reply after that. :)
