Two weeks ago, the living planet of Quire used the instantaneous streaming device built into Gig Kep-hart to send a broadcast to everyone in of the Mirage. It's contents? The arrival of the divine Independence*, and the personal alienation, civil strife, and cultural annihilation that followed in its wake.

Today, though, the Beloved Dust have business. Fourteen Fifteen continues to perform as Worthy of Grace, adapting to their new body (and the responsibilities of a Virtual Kei star). Meanwhile, while investigating the effects of the strange cloud's effects on Belgard, the excerpt Signet embarks down a risky path. Looking for a place to clear her mind, the (exiled) priestess Tender Sky turns towards her faith… and her creativity.

...dispatch 167. Gray, I mean, satellite. Confirming that I've returned to primary capsule DF298, I registered our visit with K Upside. There will probably be repercussions when all this is over, but until then, they're pretty much letting us be. They felt it too, you know, through us. Independence. They felt what we felt. Alone. Lost. The whole fleet felt it too. Some of the details were blurry. There's debate on a lot of the ships now as to whether what they saw was history, prophecy, fiction, propaganda. Some folks point to it as proof that they should stay away from choir. Your seat is evidence that they should go immediately. The buy-and-buy is in the process of establishing orbit as we speak. But mostly, it's just put everyone in a real funk satellite. This place already felt like it was on the edge, you know? It's been a week and everyone just feels really vulnerable, really tender, no pun intended. I just can't tell what the effect of all of this is going to be in the long run. Things like us have watched countless cultures fall into nothing, but those cultures don't usually have this perspective. They've never seen another civilization erased. But now the fleet has. I... It isn't our job, but I can't help but wonder if this could pull them back from the brink. Welcome to Friends of the Table, an actual play podcast focused on critical world-building smart characterization and fun interaction between good friends. I'm your host, Austin Walker, and today we're continuing our game of The Veil by Fraser Simons. Joining me is Alicia Acampora. Hi, my name is Alicia Acampora. You can find me at Ali_West on Twitter, and you can find the show over Friends_Table. Janine Hawkins. I'm Janine Hawkins, I'm @bleatingheart on Twitter, where you can also find the freelance writing that I do and then retweet. I bet while when this goes up, there's a chance you'll still also be doing "Witching Hour." Can you tell people what that is? Oh, yeah. I guess if not, people can go back and watch the archive. Every October, I play one of the games in the Tungadi Boshi series, which the first one was localized as Magician's Quest, so we call it the Magician's Quest "Witching Hour." This year, we are playing the last game in the series, the 3DS game, and I got a little capture 2DS, so we are crystal clear and beautiful, and there's a giant shopping mall in this one, and that's weird. I'm excited to watch this season. Oh, it's weird. I don't know how I feel about it.
