I just noticed, hidden in Ghirardelli's post, a true gem of Sparks' current situation and relationship with Merrick:

"They landed just as the others were pairing off to spar when suddenly Sparks flew into a seeming rage and pummeled Lord Merrik as viciously as the blunted weapon would allow."

Yep, that's pretty much it in a nutshell, I'm done here, goodbye.

But on top of that, I'll be editing my post to add in a hella long collab, and a massive turning point in Sparks. \o/

EDIT: Posted the collab - if you cba to read it all, then just scroll down to the line, that's where my involvement with the feast starts. Ghirardella, Kyrara...you've been mentioned - Sparks can only talk to one person at once, but I'll get to talking to Tara in my next post!
