Friends. Motley. Family.
Those words seemed so genuine when Cassandra and John said them. Heck, they felt genuine. So why have both of them effectively disappeared without a notice? And if they hadn't, if there was a sensible reason for them not being around anymore - why has the Wyrd decided that their Motley Pledge has been broken?


It started when he woke up that day: things would fall or break or generally go wrong more often than not. And there wasn't really any doubt about where this streak of misfortune was coming from.
It was like losing his family all over again, but despite being so close to both John and Cassandra he only felt a dull resignation about the whole thing. There would be a time to mourn that loss, but for now he needed to get through the remaining duration of the Pledge without dying or getting caught by the Fae.


Like so many Lost who found themselves alone, he prioritized self-preservation now.
