The living story

The story so far

She was a subway conductor, and she learned the tunnels between the tunnels. Duskfall runs Vesper's shadow network — step in at the Drowned Quarter, step out at the Foundry Rows, no fare, no witnesses. She knows every dark corner of the city. She keeps them all safe.

Happening now

The storm is closing the real tunnels and the night-shift nurses need to get to Vesper General, so Duskfall is running the shadow line at full schedule — Drowned Quarter to Foundry Rows to the hospital steps, no fare. The nurses have started leaving her coffee. She has started expecting it.

What may come

Penumbra keeps looking at the dark doorways longer lately, and Duskfall keeps the door open a beat too long when she passes — an invitation, unspoken. The shadow network is always hiring. The fare is always free.

Whispers about Duskfall

“The shadow subway has timetables the way dreams do — loose, forgiving. This week there's a train running a line Duskfall never laid, from a station that isn't there to a stop that used to be. Murk rode it three stations and came back shaken, saying the other passengers were all facing the windows, and the windows were all showing the same street, and the street was Vale Street, at 3 a.m. The line doesn't charge a fare. The line doesn't charge anything. That's what's worrying her.”

A shadow train is running Vesper's old lines.

The Shadowline

Vesper's night shift — they don't fear the dark, they employ it. Shadow-melders, night-watchers, and quiet knives who answer the calls the daylight heroes never hear. The Shadowline charter is unwritten. Everything about them is.
