Newest Eyrie
 
I actually thought there was going to be a funny mix in of Millie Nocturne. The auction scene felt a lot like the first episode of Lost Universe, including the really really low bid for the girl.
 
Part 5 is up now as well...

Actually, I think the annotations noted that the auction scene was originally drafted and abandoned ten years ago, and... ah, here we go. 

For years, The Crying of Lot 490 was one of those tragic fragments that litter my little electronic portfolio - a story that started with a gimmick and then never found an actual story to tell with it. It had Gryphon buying another character at an underworld auction, just to try and save her from something worse, and then having to flee from people who were trying to kill them both for their own reasons, but then unfolded, or tried to unfold, in a completely different direction. None of what would end up being the core references for Star-Crossed even existed back then.
In that version, Gryphon and his unwilling acquisition were going to end up takign refuge at a derelict WDF Deep Space Patrol base in the Enigma sector - Crescent Rock, a hollowed-out asteroid and former home of the patrol vessel Delphinus - and presumably wild and crazy adventures would have followed from there, but I never was able to get a handle on exactly what they would have entailed, and the initial gimmick never really clicked for me either. In the old draft, the character Gryphon ended up buying was an import of Millennium Nocturne from Lost Universe, but they never got along well enough for the dynamic between them to settle into something conducive to wacky adventures. She wouldn't believe he wasn't the Butcher and kept an eye out for ways to cash in on the price on his head - they were like Spike and Faye without the chemistry. Eventually it just got annoying and I tossed the whole thing in the bin.
And while I'm at it, I'll note the audio versions are coming out at the same time, and they're great for people not sitting in front of their computers at work. G does a great Elcor voice Smile
 
Cool, so I was actually right! Go me.
Also: God I love Eyrie.
 
Part The Seventh, in being that which follows the sixth part.

Reading this immediately after some of those time loop things, I was stricken with the image of someone quietly applying an ingested poison to those axes...

Hmmm. with the different surnames on the Quarian fleet, I sense short term angst but long term win. (Wonder if anyone else is following my thought process).

And now the epilogue. (Epilogues.)
 
You know that "tired of delays between stories in a series" thing?
Yeah.  Star-Crossed is also a way to avoid *that* kind of issue.
And, uh.  In my last name?  The P is lower-case.  It's derived from Welsh, not a Romance language.   Smile  
Finally, Hellbringer and the After School Special Mission Force #2 is actually writing well, and I'm hoping to have it out in the next couple of weeks.  Once I get one scene in particular tweaked, I hope to put it us as a promo bit.  It includes three top thieves hanging from cords over a jewel display case and a moment of "who do I trust".
(Yes, three.  I'm having naughty-bunny moment here.)Brazil has decided you're cute.

Just off the top of my head, that'd probably be the Wolf himself, Arsene Lupin III; Catwoman; and a certain blonde acquisitions expert working for Leverage, Inc.

As someone who typically jokes about that sort of thing, let it not be said I can't eat crow. The change was much appreciated. Smile

An audio version of Manhunt is now up on the site. That solves my listening needs for work tomorrow!

Two out of three ain't bad.

Roanpur doesn't really have any "master thief" types. Most of them shoot up the place and THEN rob it. So I'd be tempted to suspect it's Kasumi from the upcoming ME2 DLC.

Especially since my first reaction to her was "It's Space Catwoman!"

What about that fellow who's supposed to be the descendant of Matthew Broderick's character from Ladyhawke? The one that helped with the Nazis in that one story? I can't remember his name, just that the anime he's from has a title that is some weird misspelling of "Mouse".

Sorata Muon, Mouse is the name of his thief alter-ego. (Got the name from the anime rather than eyrie though, so I may be wrong).

Gryphon's doing an interesting set of mini-stories over on the EPU forums: a series of epistolary sequels to Star-Crossed that bridge the gap from G's acquittal to about the time of S5: Clarion Call. First one, covering 2380-2389, is up.

Odd. The end of Correspondences II is cut off. G and the other Wedge Rats are looking into it.
 
Huh. It was complete when I read it.
