arcanum_logs] universe, but not canon to it. This is meant as an open!verse post, in which any character from any 'verse can ping in and it won't count as canon. I may post this to AA later I did post this to AA, as a canon log-opener post, so AA canonmates will want to ping o'er there—but anyone else go right ahead. Big City, at war with itself, Ashlar and other outsiders called in to fight a war in the City, magic against technology. Ashlar's tech-side, and recently got hisself shot in the kneecap by Suzie Costello, fellow tech-sider. He's really good at teamwork, Ashlar.))
Ashlar Doxon (whose face ought to be familiar to anyone who knows the Master—or Sam Tyler or Edward Sexby or . . .) sits at one of the few outdoor tables in a city under siege. The City, as it flatters itself. He knows better—any city is the City to its residents, and he has borrowed memories of enough cities to know this is just another city.
A promising city, nonetheless, with its stuccoed walls and beyond-21st-century-modern plastics and ceramics, its churches straight out of a fantasy Middle Ages, the eclectic mix of a very, very old city, a long-established center for human life and death.
( It's the death that interests him. )
