If you...

The seasons in the City were varied, to say the least. Of course, there were four(ish), but dont tell the citizens that. On any one day down in the Market-Square you could hear numbers ranging from two all the way up to twenty. Though the ones who said there were twenty seasons were clearly on something they shouldnt be, and usually...

Grims head bucked against the wall. He felt the thick hot cords of the mans fingers close around his neck even as the ice-cold steel of the dagger pricked the gap in his shirt and pressed against his skin.
She doesnt want to talk to you, got it? the man said his voice little more than a growl. He stank of...

That is of no concern of mine. As of now your, both of you mind, licences are revoked pending an investigation. You will, of course, receive a stipend from the College to cover necessary costs, such as food. I trust you already have accommodation arranged? First Praetor Thruften said as he returned to his seat.
I - we are sharing a...

That isnt exactly fair, First Praetor Thruften, Grim said leaning forward in his chair.
You think this is a matter of fairness, Grim? he replied with a grin. Whenever has college been about what is right, and fair, and just?
Touche, sir, Shipley said from his position by the desk.
Yes, touche, thank you Shipley.
Well, no, I suppose college was...

There needs to be some level of respect between parties in this city. I cannot have the Colleges alumni running amuck through the City causing havoc, and or mayhem. It just cannot be done. And you two, you two are the worse apples in the bunch. I ought to have both of your licences revoked -
Uhh, pardon me, sir. But...

This symbiosis can be seen at every level of society and though dissidents have tried to create conflicts between the classes by highlighting various grievances, little can be done...

Hands up against the wall! the policeman said.
Grim moved to respond sliding closer to the wall as the felt large hands wrapped in thick leather gloves brush over the bare skin of his wrists. It was no or never, he slipped sideways one-two stepping as he slid in beside the policeman and used the mans weight against him. They crashed,...

A crashing filled the street as Grim pulled himself to his feet and began wiping what cream was stuck to him. They turned around together to stare up into the face of a man seated on a cart very similar to the one they had just landed on. Only the new arrival didnt have a bed full of eclairs but rather...

Where do you think the carter has run off to? Darker said as Grim leapt pulled himself over the edge of the cart and slumped to the cobbles.
He was covered in cream, from head to toe and all the places in between. He dragged a finger along the sleeve of his coat and pushed a large dollop of it into...

The carter, much smarter than he looked, knew discretion was the better part of valour and leapt from the cart. The tile thudded into the wood inches from Grims right foot. Grim, somewhat distraught over the tenuous trajectory of the tumbling tile looked up at Darker and glared.

With quick, deft movement he swung down onto the eave...
