Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Gladion very quickly began to look uncomfortable. “Well, I don’t really want to believe in destiny…” But at the same time, I am (or we are?) also strong living evidence of it. Always the same name. Always called down to the labs. “Uh. Even if you have one. You wouldn’t know what it was, and I...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    Gladion didn’t interrupt Matthias’s recollections, save for a soft exhale of sympathy. Honestly, he used to think it wouldn’t be so bad for him if he lost his memories. As if it might it get him out of the shadow of his past, rather than leaving him with feelings he couldn’t articulate...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    The idea of someone having to work with Matthias sounded terrible to Gladion, but Mhynt didn't seem to agree. All the better, it would suck for someone unwilling to get put up to it. (He did wonder who Articuno would have asked. Surely not him, he'd be terrible at it, but which Wayfarer would...

    Valere… knew? Valere knew what was up with ARK was as early as the castle, but never told him. As much as he wished he could’ve found out sooner, there was no reason to mourn for missed opportunities. It wouldn’t even have helped them rescue Sage any sooner, and they were safe now. It still...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Bar Lounge

    The bar lounge had a less suffocating atmosphere than the main hall. It still wasn’t really a place he belonged, but it at least didn’t feel as threatening. Being outside the gaze of the main congregation would make him less effective as bait, but he just had to follow up on this. “So, we got...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Main Lobby

    Hearing that voice made Gladion’s heart rate spike, readying for an attack. None came. Of course Matthias was here. Why wouldn’t he be? This was where all there Coven sycophants met up, so it would be weirder if Matthias didn’t show. That posed a danger to him. Matthias knew why he was here...

    Visible relief slipped through Gladion’s attempt at maintaining an even demeanour. “It’s an opportunity we need. But… the similarities aren’t lost on me either. I’m of the belief it can go differently for us because we’ve got someone high up who actively wants us to spy on the Coven, and is...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Main Lobby

    The Shining Congress got under Gladion’s skin almost immediately. This was a mistake. He’d been right the first time: He should never have come here. Never should’ve changed his mind. The simple fact was that he didn’t belong in places like this. He’d tried desperately to do so before only to...

    “I mean…” (There wasn’t really anything he wanted to tell Valere at all. There was, however, something he probably had to.) “I guess there’s something you should know about.” He still hadn’t decided how he wanted to frame the situation. Maybe that was fine. Maybe that was what it meant to avoid...

    Offscreen Activities

    Gladion is there for the Escarpa party. He needs the break between this and tackling all the other stuff on his to-do list. As much as his instinct is to hunker down and isolate when he's stressed, he also knows some good food and company would be better for him than doing that. Hell, he didn't...

    Novelux Smokestack Hostel & Bar

    Gladion tried to act like he wasn't morbidly curious about the history between Valere and Matthias to a degree that would be socially inappropriate, despite the fact that this was very much the reality. Luckily, he was able to keep his cool. "Lose what? Was he actually interested in fighting the...

    Gladion nodded, faintly smiling at the recognition of what they had accomplished. This was the best reception that he had realistically expected. "I think you're correct, about our numbers safeguarding us. It's hard to control the ideology of someone you can't isolate from outside opinions...

    Clearly, Gladion's first mistake looking for Valere was expecting him to use the door like a normal person. Guy knew how to make an entrance. Should've been clear to him by now. "No rest for the wicked, you know how it is." (He successfully avoided scoffing at himself.) "In all seriousness...

    The world wasn't ending anymore, but that didn't mean Gladion had room to breathe for a bit. No. That would be too damn easy. Not only was Blackglass Caldera something he had to make sure happened, he also had to deal with Valere. He firmly believed he'd done nothing wrong, but still couldn't...

    Malantau Terminal One

    “Suppose that’s our cue to clear out, then? Don’t reckon any of us should go on a one way trip to your world.” They probably already have a Gladion. It felt right to say something, even if he wasn’t really the sentimental type. At least not for people who he wasn’t that close with. “Seth...

    "Because..." Was Lusamine really a dimensional threat, though? If they were worried about that kinda stuff, why wouldn't they have lost interest when his dad became lost? Then, another piece clicked. Cosmog. "Because she— um, the woman I was heir to— held onto a creature that posed a...

    Interpol? Given the scope the Cipher problem seemed to be reaching, it made perfect sense. Whatever Orrean law enforcement existed was not gonna be able to handle them. They were probably already compromised. Being an interdimensional threat definitely qualified them as an international threat...

    Malantau Terminal One

    Oh, so Eldes was old enough to ‘young man’ him, apparently. It was hard to tell with Ninetales. Gladion wasn’t unaware that it was unusual for him to have gotten out as early as he had, but it was the kind of thing that was easy to forget with everything else he was keeping track of during an...

    Malantau Terminal One

    “And good riddance,” Gladion whispered, not quite looking to project enthusiasm about Nascour’s death but nonetheless knowing he’d worry less for Seth and his world with the his demise. If anyone he’d met in Forlas had it coming, it was definitely Nascour. (Or really it was Alexander...

    Malantau Terminal One

    Gladion's smile was subtle even back home, and more opaque on an avian face, but the expression in his eyes was clearly readable as such when he saw Eldes break free. Given he'd immediately found it in him to attack Ardos, it'd probably been a long time coming, but it was still nice to play a...
