A Zee Znail's Zhell

 The Storm's Curse

I know this game. Any other game, the level if knowledge and research I have put into this would make me a confident fucking master. And yet.

I can be reading text I've read dozens of times before and i still feel...not clueless, but absolutely off the mark. It all feels so familiar and yet I've never seen a victory condition. I've at least started pretty much every storyline but I'll still see something new each time I sink some time into it. I have a fucking JOURNAL of TRADE ROUTES and REQUIRED ITEMS and somehow that's only mildly helpful

I hear them more regularly called "vanity qualities" or vanity projects, and that is far more accurate.

I’m always reliving London’s last night on the Surface. I try to put it out of my head, but it’s still there. The dimming of the sun at three in the afternoon. The sky turning the colour of rust. The horrible bang and the cloud of dust from the direction of Westminster. The tolling of the bells.

Ferret: You don’t fit in either, eh?
