NEW CHAPTER:Amber settles in & gets her feet under her while coming to grips with the critical differences between her small, curated country town & the wider world. There's friends to be made, both among the living & the dead, tricks to be learned and mistakes to be made. Whether they're critical ones remains to be seen.
Content Warning: Swears, pedagogical violence, historical racism, awkward encounters with fellow students.

With no reason to stay, twelve year old Amber sets her sights on boarding school, leaving behind questions she'd rather not have answered. Clean slates and white chalk await, and old institutions have deep roots and secrets of their own.

New Chapter is Live! When touching grass isn't enough, you gotta grab a mate & take a day trip to the seaside. Sea! Sand! Fresh air! Mediocre cafe food! Half the fun is always the chat on the drive down. Amber & Vincent compare notes while he comes to terms with his unwanted gift.
Content warning: The usual foul language and heavy smoking. Also mentions of death, colonialism, suicide and far too much talk about birds.
Free read for the long weekend!
::: This is a core event, and cannot be changed :::
When the Skyneedle is lit, all the world will have its eyes on Brisbane - across time as well as space.

Big nights in lead to slow mornings after. Hung over & with the memory of the previous evening fading, Amber has work ahead of her. But she's not the only one seeking out what remains of the dearly departed.
Content advisory: Very bad language, drinking, smoking, drug references, veterinary injections, crap parents, mild slurs, discussions of violence, racist grand-dads & stacks of load bearing rust.
