Well, that was bound to happen sooner or later.
While I have you here! I've gone ahead and written a book, and there is a kickstarter running for it right now, with only 14 days left to back it!
Built on the bones of a former northern England shipbuilding town, Unity City is an extraterritorial city-state fully owned and operated by worldwide megacorp Imperium International LLC. Renji Starkweather has everything he needs to succeed within Unity: confidence, a fast mouth, and most importantly, a famous aunt. But despite his coveted position within the city’s enforcers, restless Renji has never quite fit in with the company values, and when an impulsive stunt involving an airship and far too many bladed weapons sends him plummeting into Unity's buried depths, he begins to see the real human cost of those record profits.
Thrown into the path of a notorious gang of criminals named The Loose Ends, Renji is keen to help them even the score; and once an unfair gas bill threatens to leave the city's poorest freezing in their own homes, he finds himself with a chance to do just that. Teaming up with a gruff single dad on a mission, a laid-back hacker DJ, and her furious bruiser of a sister, Renji has a plan involving an audacious heist of tonight’s company Christmas fundraiser– but in order to pull it off, he’ll have to dodge his vicious former boss and avoid his terrifying aunt, all while gaining the trust of his new allies.
What could possibly go wrong…?
Cast: Benjamin Thackerey, Blake Thackerey, Bryony Thackerey, Heinrich Wolfe, Jack O'Malley

Since they're so much better than everyone else, there's no need to save them, right? Nobody could save them better than they could.
Why capes are a Bad Idea.
Should have went with Nice Hats instead!
People in Widdershins just don’t wear enough hats.
It's a story of capers, not cappers.
I've had to listen to the noble cape being impugned for far too long, and I'm tired of it. I'm taking a stand, here and now: yes capes! In all genres, in all situations, no matter how impractical. Let's bring an end to this era of cape-slander which has dominated our collective discourse for far too long.
(Just design them so that they tear away from the rest of the outfit in the event of misadventure.)
I only see one of the capes being involved, the other was a simple trip
It's ok Wolfe. We know you would have ! We believe in you !
Green Triangle takes joy in his newfound job of chucking evildoers into the river.
Sploosh!
The buggerups get revenge!
... but apparently only because the twins' defense is weakened by the same disappearance of magic the others are talking about ...
... eh, I'll take it nonetheless! ;-)
Perhaps, but it sounds like their capabilities might have also been enhanced before (went from enhanced state to weakened state), so the buggerups might have been able to have revenge if they had been in a normal state.
I love how Wolfe is the one suggesting they should be thrown in the river.
that wasnt Wolfe, that was karma
Wolfe: would you like them thrown in the river
Buggerups: GREAT IDEA!!
Justice.
In most other cases, this is very unfortunate, but... Thank you Thea.
Wow, just flat-out saying "you never were as good as us!"
Wolfe, if Team Rocket gets out of the river, please throw them back in again.
"You live there now."
He's easily more of a good person than both of them put together, not as good.
Oh no! Anyway
So the surge of magic was caused by Thea draining the mountain anchor, and therefore the magic went to the other two. So if magic is now diminished in Widdershins... Oh no. Hey Mal, might want to go check your door after all.
