    Summary

    Liko goes out to find a spice for Murdock only to find herself in a dark alley with a strange man. In an instant, her memories are gone, and so is she.

    In light of Liko's disappearance, the Rising Volt Tacklers are left frantically searching for her. They suspect the Explorers took her, but the other details are out of their reach. With no clues other than Liko's dropped phone in the streets of Levincia, they plan to mount a counterattack to defeat the Explorers and bring her home.

    Meanwhile, Opal arrives in the Explorers' base with no memories of who she is. Her bodyguard, Amethio, tells her she lost her memories in a horrific incident, and Opal believes him... But she feels there is more to it than that. With her Sprigatito by her side, Opal tries to get to the bottom of all she lost. She does not know who Liko is, but the name feels painfully familiar to her... As do the enemies--the "Rising Volt Tacklers"--she has been told to help defeat.

    And so begins her free fall...

    (AU where Liko is kidnapped and brainwashed to become one of the Explorers. Updated once every two weeks, most likely on Fridays.)

    Summary

    When she looks up from her food, Himeko is watching them all with a soft smile, eyes bright in the light of the fire. March smiles back, and then she steals some of Dan Heng's carrots and giggles when he retaliates by jabbing her in the forehead with the butt of his fork.

    “You have your own bowl,” he tells her.

    “But yours tastes so much better!”

    “Amen,” Stelle says, going for Dan Heng’s potatoes.

    He twists away from her, eyes narrowed, which also means that he twists towards March in the process. She takes the opportunity to steal yet another carrot slice, and he whips his head towards her with a frown.

    March just shoves it into her mouth and smiles.

    Or, the Astral Express Crew takes a break from trailblazing and decides to spend a few days camping.

    Summary

    They both seem content to sleep, so Dan Heng steps away from the bed and moves to pick up the serving tray. The bowl is only half empty; he supposes he'll save the rest of it for later, when Stelle feels like eating again. He moves the glass of water off the tray and onto the nightstand.

    However, just as he's about to pick up the tray and leave, Stelle says, “Wait.”

    Dan Heng stops. He looks at her, where she is half curled around March and peering at him with sleepy eyes. “What is it?”

    “... I forgot to do my dailies.”

    “What?”

    Or, March 7th and Stelle get sick. Dan Heng tries to help.

    Summary

    Friede has been having nightmares after the airship is grounded and Mollie notices.

    Mollie would ask what’s been bothering him but she already knows from the way he stares at the damage to the hull when he thinks no one is looking. The guilt on his face seeing Orla repair the ship or Murdock in his work uniform. She even catches him looking at her that way when she finishes private consultations, bidding her clients goodbye.

    She wants to tell him that it's not his fault. Remind him of all the times he’s been there to protect them from danger, swoop in to save the day. But she holds her tongue. She knows this is different.
