Excerpt from: Mysteries of Neverwinter
“That sounds quite interesting,” Sylvia said as she wanted to know more.

“I can tell of all of them in song.”

“I can tell you’re good just by looking at you and hearing you talk.”

“Really?” the alley boy asked.

“Oh yes,” Sylvia said. “I happen to have a couple of rooms available for long term residents.”

“I would be happy to take up your offer,” the bard said. “But you haven’t seen me perform yet.”

“That’s’ true, but I thought you would like to settle in first, before exploring Neverwinter further.”

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
Alexia saw that Freya was a little different and it wasn’t just her pink hair and the energy she exuded. It was obvious that her focus wandered. She also saw that she squinted a bit when she turned the pages quickly. ‘I don’t want to ask,’ she thought. ‘She would be ready to say when she wants to say.’

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“That’s obvious,” Daria said.

“We’ll do what we do tonight,” Peterson said.

“But what’s next?” Dani asked.

“Not sure,” Quinn said. “We’ll meet here again tomorrow morning.”

“Good idea,” Robert said.


Shortly afterwards, Quinn and Brittany changed to SpiderGirl and Ninja Talon respectively on the roof.

“I haven’t heard back from Andrea yet,” the latter said. “But she did say that it would take time. We can go to her place later, though.”

“I knew it would take time.”

“I’m happy the first performance went well, other than that hiccup.”

“You did very well as Ariel, and Dani really was trying her best with the limited time she had to prepare,” SpiderGirl said. “I’m sure she’ll be a great addition to the Historia’s team.”

“Thanks. Why pass her over the first time?”

“Because she didn’t have much experience. I was looking for that last time. But this time, after interviewing her again, I found that she had what I was looking for. The willingness to learn and to just jump in.”

“That makes sense.”

They then heard sirens somewhere to the west.

“I’ll go,” SpiderGirl said. “Responsibility calls.”

“Sure,” Ninja Talon said, having decided to wait for Andrea a little while longer.


Andrea glanced at the clock on the right side of the screen as she started downloading more video. 9:23. She felt something, she knew it was time for a bathroom break. “Mind it,” she said to Scott as she headed out.


Daria got home at the same time and found that Sandi was waiting in her room. “Sandi?” she asked.

“How did the play go?” Sandi asked.

“Quite well. There was only one hiccup, but Beck may have left more.”

“That’s good. But I have a plan.”

“Going to the Lake and trying to locate Jane again?” Daria asked.

“Exactly, but we’ll take your car.”

“I doubt Mom would let us.”

“Probably not,” Sandi said. “Then we’ll take another one.”

Daria sighed. “Dafoanairi isn’t as much as an antihero as the Enigma, but we’ll wait until the usual time.”

“Sure,” Sandi said with a smirk.

Excerpt from: Ivy and Lily
She extended her hand.

The girl took it with hesitation and her fingers trembling. “I’m Lily,” she said, her voice barely a whisper.

Ivy looked at the drawing and saw that Lily was talented. “You draw?”

Lily nodded.

Ivy could tell that Lily was quite shy. “So, Art major?” she asked.

“Yes,” Lily answered, again with a whisper. “You?”

“Criminology,” Ivy answered.

Excerpt from: Berk in Time
“Of course,” Hiccup said. “Any dragon can be dangerous, even Terrible Terrors.” He turned to the two men. “Take us to your leader.”

“What?” Spitelout asked.

“We need to know more. But continue to be wary,” Hiccup responded.

“Oh, I’m past wary.”

Excerpt from: Interdimensional Adventures
Christina looked around. She saw that the Dimension Gate appeared to be in a swamp in the middle of Wingewarra. ‘This can’t be right.’

“What’s up?” Elias asked.

“Look around,” she said.

“A swamp, so?”

“Do you see a boat?”

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora
The information Science section was relatively close to the Grand Atrium.

“Here we are,” Alexia said, as she turned into an out of the way nook. There were few other students there.

“Very good,” Freya said she followed.


“Directories, Archival systems. This is in Auroric…” Alexia said.

Freya took it. “Renaissance Era cataloguing systems,” she said.

“You’re Auroric?”

“I am, although from relatively close to Urbs Aeterna.”

“What else does it say?”

“It gives a list of the cataloguing systems. But there is no indication of a colour coded map of the library,” Freya said.

“They have to be around here somewhere,” Alexia said with a tone of exasperation.

“There!” Freya said, she bounded over to a shelf.

“What is it?”

“Diagrams of the Main Library.”

“Looks like there is a large number of editions,” Alexia said.

“This is the 63rd, published in 2004,” Freya said as she opened it.

Excerpt from:
“I’ll wait in the café.”

“Thanks.”


Dani entered the café and saw that Scott Ashworth was there. ‘I didn’t think he was interested in Shakespeare,’ she thought. She then went up to the counter.

“How may I help you,” the pigtailed waitress asked.

“A white tea, thanks.”

“Coming right up.”


Scott Ashworth listened to the gothic girl, Andrea, as she explained what the vigilante, Ninja Talon, had asked for her. Despite the busyness of college life, he had followed the news since SpiderGirl had appeared, especially after Groundhog Day. It seemed that the situation in Lawndale was escalating. “So, you want to try to find Jane Lane, or the critics, through the video surveillance system?”

“Yes. At least use Oscorp’s tentacles for good.”

Andrea had told him about the large property footprint of Oscorp in Lawndale too. “I could get in trouble if you’re caught,” he said.

“I know. I will be careful,” Andrea responded.

“That’s what I wanted to hear.”

“Huh?”

“I will do it,” Scott said. “I mean I’ll let you.”

“Right now?”

“Before the play starts. I have a ticket for tomorrow night, but.”

“I wasn’t seeing it tonight either,” Andrea responded. “Ninja Talon’s here, somewhere, as her secret identity. I’ll let her know.”

“I’ll wait.”


Andrea found Brittany in an isolated area backstage. “It’s going ahead,” she said.

“I’ll let Spidey know,” Brittany responded. “But when?”

“Right now.”

“Right, but we won’t be able to respond until after the play.”

“Is SpiderGirl in the play?” Andrea asked.

“I’m not answering that.”

Andrea chuckled. “I know. And somehow, I’m sure Jane wouldn’t mind waiting a few hours. But I know I won’t find something straight way. It will take time, such that the play would likely be over first.”


As Andrea left out the front with Scott, Quinn and Brittany emerged onto the roof. “I still have a couple more interviews to conduct,” Quinn said.

“How many is that?” Brittany asked.

“Seven, Beck was the eighth.”

“Anyway, Andrea has left with Tania’s brother.”

“So, It’s going ahead?” Quinn asked.

“Yes, but she said that it would take time.”

“I knew that.”

“There’s still an hour before the play,” Brittany said. “I’m going to patrol.”

Quinn nodded. “With all that’s going on, the rest of Lawndale hasn’t been getting the same attention this week.”


Dafoanairi returned to the Historia after a quick patrol herself, and saw Ninja Talon leave the roof. ‘Not surprising,’ she thought as she paused before re-entering. One the ninja had gone out of sight, she re-entered the building.


Daria entered the café and saw a large group of fellow Lawndale High students having an early dinner. “I guess this takes their mind off things,” she commented to Peterson.

“It does.”

“Any further news?”

“None,” Peterson answered.

“It’s still early yet.”

“Exactly. It isn’t always dramatic rescue missions. Far from it. It’s a lot of legwork.”

“I knew that,” Daria commented. “Intellectually. Now I’m getting a better understanding.”

“Don't worry, Miss Morgendorffer. No other faculty members are coming.” He looked at Jane. “Other than Defoe of course. She'll be here shortly.”


“Hey, We're Mystik Spiral. But we might change our name. Welcome to my sister Janie's Sweet Sixteen Party.”

Mystik Spiral then launched into one of their older songs, confusing their audience. “Huh?” Angie asked.

“What song is this?” Brittany asked.

“I'm not sure,” Angie answered.



DeMartino followed Jane and Daria out into the yard. “I see that they haven't improved much,” he commented.

“Huh?” Daria asked.

“They sound almost exactly the way they did at school,” DeMartino answered.

“That's not surprising,” Daria commented. “Given Trent's proclivity for sleep.”

DeMartino chuckled at that.


Claire Defoe knocked on the door. Jane answered it.

Back at the Leung-Bell's Keith watched as Jane sketched some game characters. “You're quite good,” he said.

“Thanks,” Jane said. “Art is my passion. It runs in the family. Although I'm more of a 'fine arts' kind of girl than the others.”

“I see,” Keith said. “What game character is that?”

“It's from the old Atari,” Jane answered. “It's quite obscure.”

“Look's interesting.”

“Well, it is a sci-fi game.” She drew some stars in the background for emphasis.

“Cool.”


“Jennifer,” Cindy said as the quiet girl followed.

“Yes?”

“We're doing more of the improve here,” Cindy said.

“Cool,” Jennifer said.

“It should balance out whatever Daria was trying to do,” Quinn added.

“Yes. It's clear she was doing something you wouldn't agree with,” Jennifer agreed.


“That's quite obvious,” Kristen said. “Hence why Mom didn't allow her in.”

Jennifer nodded.


“We're now at Kristen's,” Quinn said. “My sister was going to cause trouble, so she wasn't allowed in.”

“That's right,” Kristen said.

“That's something we didn't want,” Cindy said.

“And now we can do more improv,” Quinn said.
