The Koteka is a sheath worn by males in some tribes in New Guinea to cover their genitals. Normally made from a dried out gourd they are held in place by loops of fiber attached to the body. During work normally a shorter sheath is utilized with longer more elaborate sheaths used during festivities. While it’s easy to assume the Koteka has some form of sexual meaning the locals are adamant that it is purely worn as a way of covering themselves...
JOB CODE: #27AC3 LOCATION: BLACK HARBOR P.O.C: NEMERYA DESCRIPTION (FORWARDED BY P.O.C): Seven cycles ago, during the last true cycle, several pieces of A.I. disappeared for reasons unknown. The Elder Council believes that this is somehow related to a more recent event: the vanishing of Kiara, Mergo and Raphael – three local kids that used to roam in the outskirts. I need you to find them. Bring them home and, if possible, find out what might have happened with the A.I’s...
If you missed our "Taroticum" prologue "Faraday", written by Anders Fager, or found the chapter-length releases too short to get into, we are now happy to release the full story for your enjoyment in one easily digestible half hour. Follow the life and unlife of Rupert Faraday as he observes the apex and fall of the British Empire, reminisces about his time with Anthony Seymour and learn some of the secrets of the powerful cards of the Tarotica...
The island of Hong Kong is in the middle of an area with very heavy cyclone activity and many of the neighboring countries are ravaged by frequent storms. This was the case in 2010 for example when the Severe Tropical Storm Lionrock impacted Taiwan and Fujian in China. When looking at the path of the cyclone however, something looks strange, it’s as if the storm takes a sudden turn to avoid Hong Kong...
In June 1942 the 3rd fighter group of the 2nd fighter wing of the Luftwaffe was scrambled to intercept a force of six returning A-20 Havoc bombers. The bombers were escorted by the 310th, 312th and 313th squadron of the RAF, all manned by Czech pilots. The Luftwaffe was flying the brand new Focke-Wulf 190 and downed seven Spitfires, one in spectacular fashion when Oberleutnant Armin Faber, with only one cannon working, made an Immelmann turn in to the sun and shot down his pursuer head on...
Something is happening. Stirring or moving. It has been going on for a while now. Some shift in the big picture. I think of Crowley coming back. Or Seymour. On the back on some monster from hell. I realise that if it was just me in the monsters way, I would not care much, but now Vanessa is here too. Crazy, wonderful Vanessa of the lunatics. I like to have her around. For the world to have her around. Caring for family is even worse than needing love...
The cat o’ nine tails is a whip with nine “claws”, knotted thongs of cotton cord, designed to lacerate the skin in parallel wounds. It was used for corporal punishment, for example in the Royal Navy, where flogging was regularly administered for drunkenness or striking an officer. These offenses could give you a dozen lashes whereas desertion, mutiny or theft could give you up to five hundred...
Vanessa has left to live with Max the lunatic. Might be just as well. I am not to be trusted around relatives. She is perhaps better off without the crazy guy in the basement who enjoys blood, babes and the Clash. Vanessa was constantly going on about how men ruled the world. I always told her that Victoria was a woman and Elsa would go “but she is just one.” I tried to explain that our empire has been ruled by women for 100 of the last 150 years...
I am doing the hippie guru thing. Without letting the sunshine in. One of my pupils is this 13-year old runaway. She is very gifted, but I do not think she understands that we are related. Perhaps better keep it that way. Magic is in the streets. Some crazy kids even claim streets are disappearing. Sounds strange, but considering what is underneath the illusion here, who knows? Vanessa and some other kids told me Oxford Street was missing and I had to see for myself...
