| Tales of Tanamai #11: "Gahara" | 05 Jul 2025 | 01:13:18 | |
Nothing lies deeper than the truth. Men of Gahara tell themselves it is not a fate worse than death. To be kept in the dark. To know nothing of how the world turns. They are wrong. The Mortimers have been blind for too long. Now their eyes are opening to the doors that shift in shadow and the songs that sing in silence. Some people must fall before they rise. Be careful where you tread. The steps down below get treacherous when no one is looking and no one is there to catch you. Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as Several Walking OFSTED Violations.

Memories are a hazy thing. Fingerprints on glass. Breath in a hurricane. But it's happening again - that much is terribly certain - and history rhymes in couplets. If you cannot remember her, the one you have lost, let her shadow fall in your footsteps. She walks with you now. No matter the waning moment. Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as Yet Another Echoey Serpent.

Following terrible news Sibly, Mabel and Gwerxos rush to gather intel on someone close to them.

The shenanigans will speak for themselves as man and machine try blundering their way into an agency of high esteem.

Chaos on the dancefloor. Mabel stages a threadbare revolution, Sibly improvises too close to the sun and Gwerxos tries to keep at least one of his bosses pacified at all times. The Udan Intermediary Gala reaches it's hilarious and fiery conclusion as all three Mortimers cross paths for the first time since The Prologue. But the story does not end there. Shadows orbit the city and Fin isn't there to keep an eye out. Mabel and Gwerxos uncover bad omens while Sibly's dreams grow stranger and darker still. If only adventuring were as simple as a mad night out. Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as A Dancing Robot.

| Tales of Tanamai #7: "The Udan Intermediary Gala" | 19 Apr 2025 | 00:42:43 | |
Pompous psychos & salacious circumstance. The Mortimers navigate a decadent ball far out of their depth whilst hiding their true nature. Sibly masquerades as a run-of-the-mill bard, Gwerxos as an adequately functional automaton and Mabel... Mabel lies in wait for something a little more explosive. Will the cousins find each other before everything implodes drastically, or is today just Tomorrow waiting to happen? Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as The Worst Nepo Baby In The World.
