    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    Prim gritted her teeth. More fighting. Just what the doctor ordered. At least this would be another friendly spar—she'd actually enjoyed the last one, and that one was only friendly after a certain fashion. The rangers couldn't possibly be tougher than those Tsainanese wanderswords, could they...

    Frontier Town Civic Courtyard

    Prim, who had deferred to the others until now, chose this moment to step forward. "I'm Prim," she said, as though it were obvious enough. "Haven't had the pleasure like these three seem to have, unfortunately. But I've heard a thing or two about your union. What I want to know is what it takes...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    "Tch. Everyone seems to have a lecture on discipline for me lately." Breath caught, she straightened her back and turned to face Kyoko at last. "I am helping my ally. I'm just doing it plant style. Plants nap a lot." A mote of light sparked to life in front of Prim's chest, just a flicker at...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    Prim shook her head as she skidded across the dirt, clutching at her side. God fucking damn it. Even when she went out of her way to avoid Kotetsu, the bastard still found a way to get his blades in her. Figures. She hadn't exactly been subtle about her opinion of the bisharp before, and he must...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    The familiar trappings of a friendly (enough) sparring match seemed to wash Prim's fury away—all she could feel now was the frenetic pulse of adrenaline. Like the blowing of a battlehorn, the steel-on-steel thumping of Kotetsu's fist against his chest spurred her to action. Sorely as she wanted...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Prim didn't expect the little wolf's fiddling would actually do anything. She raised an eyebrow as the door swung ajar. "That's one way to force a door open..." It was a fine room. There were more books in it than Prim had ever seen in one place besides the town library, and the room looked...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    Prim had lopped the spike-helmed heads off a bisharp or two in her day. She replayed that memory in her mind, now her only source of peace. Eyes wrenched shut, she was serenity. So she told herself over and over. Each additional whetstone-on-steel word from the haughty bisharp's lips tested the...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    Prim bristled at Ibuki's words. Blasted fool with no respect. She saw herself in Kyoko's weary countenance and had half a mind to ask the golisopod if he'd eaten any good onions lately. "Yes, Tsainanese too, I think," she said. "She had the accent, and the tattoos... Uh, no offense." She was...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    Prim squinted at the heaving golisopod. "Well... He did invite me to strike him first, and I did. But this was after he hurled me halfway across the room like a wild person, so I suppose it depends on what you consider a 'first blow' to be. As for how it turned out, well. Like I said, I think...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    Prim passed some afternoons peoplewatching in the town commons, much as she did when visiting cities back home. Today she chose the gaudy fountain as her perch, passively absorbing its waters through the woody skin of her ankles and feet. Hydration made the sky seem just a little brighter, made...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    Prim nodded. "Uh-huh. Guess we're just as sorry suckers as any of them, though. Then again, there are a lot of us this time. So either something is different, or..." This is a last-ditch effort, she would have said. "Well, if there's any place to get to the bottom of that, it's here," she said...

    Sojaveña Wilds Brisa's Cabin

    There was some talk in the infirmary of hiking to a cabin—something about strangers and Escarpas, which Prim had gleaned referred to the barbarian clans in the country. That was all fine. Prim didn't take much interest in such things, but what she did take interest in was the cabin's location...

    Offscreen Activities

    Prim pokes around for a job offering as a ranch hand or cattleherd. She occasionally probes the locals to find out what she can about the land of Tsainan.

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Prim only got an fisheyed glimpse of the bisharp's precipitous cranium before her viscera went weightless and her world became a sea of waltzing stars on a field of black. She distantly felt herself bowling through the other patrons' drinks as she skidded across the bar, but rather than lifting...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Prim was not an impatient or unreasonable person, generally speaking. That said, maybe it was the alcohol talking, but every sloppy brush-stroke that comprised the bisharp's demeanor—the smugness, the bravado, the surety—was converging in Prim's mind to a masterwork portrait of incandescent...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    Prim squinted at the bisharp. The voice was certainly the same. But what if all bisharp sounded like this? She could practically hear Ferry's throaty protests from here—You see the same species twice and assume it's the same guy? What the fuck, Prim?—but fuck that old grouch. Whether it was the...

    Frontier Town Nina's Place

    A pair of cool metal hands wrapped themselves around Prim's shoulders. She'd met this sort once or twice in her time—her instinct was to elbow him quick in the stomach, but before she had the chance she was hefted into the air and plopped unceremoniously on the countertop like a dawdling tyke...

    Threadmarks: Ch02: Bottoms-up Dust-up

    Drinking was a funny game on Forlas. While Prim was not so prodigious a drinker as Lauchs, she was known back home to put back a drink or two. In this world, though, the drinks were more fire than they were water, and this puny body couldn't hold as much as she was used to. Prim, of course...

    Frontier Town Mayoral Residence – Ground Floor

    Prim straightened her back as the arc of the prinplup's flipper passed over her. She didn't need to know what an embezzle was to know that jail was the right place for the disgraced mayor. "Willingly," she said, taking a step forward. "C'mon, old bird. It won't be so bad. You should see the...

    Frontier Town Founder's Square

    "Doesn't mean anything, but I guess I'm something of a sheriff back home too, you could say. I bet our jobs aren't too different. Hm." Somehow. The little roggenrola seemed pretty directionless to Prim, and it was hard to imagine her in Prim's line of work—but maybe Prim was the one going about...
