Till's brow raised at Pomodu's continued enthusiasm. This certainly did sound a ship of excitement, whatever its truth. They didn't know much about becoming a hero, but if they could do some good in this world (mostly through the medium of cooking) they were blinking well going to try. She...

There was a faint wince from the badger at Pomodu's accidental victim, but Till was quickly back to processing what the red panda had just told them. The Golden Hide having gold fur sails they could just about believe, if a little bit concerning, but for it to be as big as a city? Till somewhat...

"I think zat would be a good plan," Till agreed with Pomodu. "I hope all my encounters here will not be so invigorating." They slotted the wielded pan back into their belt and adjusted their pack with the rest in, beginning to make for the door. "If I am lucky, I can sign up on a ship where my...

Accepting the help up, Till quickly checked themselves and their environment to be sure they hadn't hurt anyone too badly. Next they checked their pan, study as ever, not even a dent. "I hope not," they said to Pomodu. "I had thought it was a little more civilised than my family's stories. Ah...

Pomodu's intervention had the desired effect. The chair dealt one of Till's climbers a hefty enough blow to careen them off her and across the room. It was also sufficient to destabilise the spinning badger into toppling over and squashing one who had been yanking at her pan arm. The last one...

Till snarled as she was leapt upon by the group. Hardly knowing where her stamina came from, she elbowed one and caught another under the chin with the pan. The other two clung fast to her, thumping and biting, forcing her to hobble round and round in an increasingly fast circle in the hope of...

Fearful and out of their depth with so many beasts making for them in what had at first seemed an amiable place, Till drew up to their full height and roared. "Arrêtez!" They swung out with their pan and smacked the first one to get near them.

This was a nightmare, and unfortunately what Till’s family had warned them they would face if they went to the Imperium. At least I can prove to myself and them that I am ready for it. She watched bottles be thrown and the once chivalric-seeming fox hurling himself upon the crowd in a frenzy...

Needless to say, Till was horrified. They had been warned about the dangers of the world beyond Mielville and had heard of plenty of awful things from neighbouring Alkamar, yet this was the first time they had experienced such behaviour in the Imperium. It was only day one, after all. Her eyes...

After offering applause to the musician marteness, Till could not help but turn toward the door to see whom Asta was inviting to play. The poor fox was looking right at Till, clearly stricken. They had tried to prepare themselves for this as much as other expected prejudices, but fear of her was...

Glad to be a part of the moment, Till continued to smile on acknowledgement from the player and with Pomodu's enthusiasm. They clapped along, hoping any tension could be clapped and danced away. It actually felt safer being with another large beast. "Oh, yes, she is wonderful!"

Till smiled warmly and genuinely at Pomodu, reminded of the kindliness of home. "Thank you, yes." They followed, looking toward the stage where this "Asata" marten was entertaining. This was so far turning out to be a pleasant first day, especially if they ignored the stares coming from all...

There was a moment when Till considered reaching for their pan as the red panda made for them, wondering if they were about to find themselves turfed out of the pub as soon as entering. By the looks of how some of the other patrons were acting, this was a possibility. Thankfully, however, there...

Walking through the streets of Bully had earnt Till more than a few stares and mutterings. It was unnerving to say the least, but they were determined to make this adventure work. Their sheer size made it impossible to go unnoticed, especially with a backpack, so they had taken to wearing a...
