He wasn't entirely sure what was going on, other than something was terribly wrong.

His awareness came and went in vivid flashes.
One moment he was crossing through the canal, soaked from the chest down. The next he was on the other side, halfway through the next churned field. Another blink ...
2022-12-24 06:38:31 +0000 UTC View PostArthur almost wanted to ask, "Are you sure?" but he didn't want to give Penn the chance to take it back.
So he moved to stick it in his card anchor.
Quick as a striking snake, Penn caught his wrist before he could complete the movement...
2022-12-23 06:10:53 +0000 UTC View PostArthur's stomach felt like it turned to ice. "Why would he do that?" he said but his words were lost over Penn and Echo's exclamations of horror.
"The king?"
"He's coming?" Echo's face paled. "No... no, he wouldn't. Not for this!"

You know how it is back on ol’ earth in the 22nd century. The only nature you could get would be out in the preserves, rich people gardens, or the elite zoos. The ones with real animals and not the holograms. ...
2022-12-20 06:54:41 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a moment of consideration, Arthur placed the Wind Release card in his card anchor.
"That's not going to do you any good," Echo said and for good measure added, "Dummy."

2022-12-20 06:33:12 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, Arthur was torn by a choice.
Marion knew – or at least strongly suspected – Arthur had stolen his card. And it was a very good card.
He didn’t have to stand back. He just had to be a few steps too slow.
