To: Nadja wasn't gonna. sounds boring as drokk. Mark To: Nadja I mean the group view boring. not the other yhng Mark To: Nadja *thing. Mark To: Nadja p.s. we need to talk about ashlee Mark

I look at Ashlee's reply for a few seconds with a hollow stare. Pretty fair. I stare a little longer and it finally sinks in. "You can have her." You can have her. That's not just an annoyed room-mate, that's like... like what you'd say if you w…

OK, so for the most part my mood so far today has been pretty good. Mainly thinking about Nadja. But there's even a thrill of the secret in the way Aiden just nodded hello when I got back, just like every day, and I said "Night, man" like normal and…
-
"Sure you should keep it a secret. Where's the fun in knowing something everyone else knows?" I smirk and roll up out from the bed. I'm grabbing my clothes off the floor. "I better get back before curfew. Good thing we're just next door." I throw m…

[Mark gains a new Hunger.]

I'd go even slower if I could. I want every new sensation to last forever. But there are other hungers at work here. I pull Nadja down with me as I sit on the bunk, sweeping a load of Ashlee's stuff onto the floor to make room for us both. That'll…
-
"Just... territorial, I guess. Like a lot of people." I turn around and put one hand on Nadja's side, the heel of my palm lightly resting on her hip. I can feel the heat of her body through that blue dress. With my left hand I brush back a strand of…

I walk around the room a little, looking at posters and stuff. And as I say something blandly positive about the music, it occurs to me that this is somewhere I've never been before. I think the last time I was in this zone of uncertainty with a g…
-
I move over, close to Nadja. I lean one hand on the desk next to the Navi and look at the screen. "I don't know, I feel like I've been stuck on the same things for a long time." I look up into her eyes. Pris is coughing up a lung just a few doo…
-
"Hey yourself." I take a couple of steps in, hands in my pockets. "Your hair looks nice like that." I look around, take in the room. "Anything good in the beacon feed?" There's a fine line between playing it cool and coming off as just dense. …
-
I turn on my heel and stalk away down the corridor. There's an empty room next door to Bea's. I know it's not locked, so I just palm the door open and go in and stand in the gloom of the back-up lights. Not much in here. One bed with a thin mattre…

I had no idea it had gotten this bad. No wonder people started to whisper about the plague. Never when they thought I could hear, of course. And what are you going to do about it, Mark? Magic up a cure? My gaze flicks from Ourania to Pris's door…

Shut Someone Down (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 4, 1. Total: 6) (+xp)
-
I look calmly at Ourania's upturned face. "In that case, like I said. What are you doing here? Because we both know you don't really care about anyone except yourself, Ourania the spy. Everyone in the class knows that."
-
She doesn’t deny having ulterior motives toward Pris, I notice. "There's a lot of things you don't know, Ourania. And you never will, no matter how many sock drawers you go through." Mark, you idiot. Pris sent her out here to make you go away. Ge…
-
So the class spy is on Pris's case now. I back away, hands out at my sides. Now's not the time. "I don't know what your game is, Ourania. But I'm going to find out."
-
Ourania. There is no way she is here out of the kindness of her heart. I try to spot Pris but I can't see her. "What are you doing here? Is Pris in there?" Probably sneaking in trying to go through Pris's stuff.
-

I could turn away, go see what Nadja's doing. Go down to the cafeteria maybe. That would be some pretty weak-sauce stomm, though. I reach for the doorpad. Wait, is there someone else in there? I press the button anyway.
-
Hmph. "OK, whatever." I leave the court. I don't care if Ashlee comes along or not. I was just trying to be nice. I see Zola and Tabitha talking. I was planning to talk to each of them, try to smooth things over. Seems there's no need to, now. …
-
I follow Rys into the corridor. Guess I'll head straight to see Priscilla first. Show our faces to the cameras. Last thing I want is more messages from Mom. Don't you neglect that girl or you're likely to lose her. Don't ruin your mother's plans, so…
-
"Sure," I say, standing. "Why not?" I hold out my hand to help Ashlee up. "What are you doing now? I have to go to Pris's Beacon Day thing."
-
She's right. I wish she didn't know it. "Zola will do what she's told." That sounds mean. "I mean, I'll think of something. So that you can be there. And then... I'll listen to you and they'll listen to me, and then you'll have proven them wrong b…
-
I sit down next to the central launcher-pod and cross my legs. I motion for Ashlee to sit down too. "We need some extra bodies for the team. Pax maybe, we're going to ask. But we need more than that. Like, take Rys. People think he's a good full-b…
-
Holy stomm, this girl is even more into speedball than I am. And I'm a total speedball dork. And she's right about this stuff, totally right. My jaw itches. I rub it, distracted. She's lost all her nervousness now, too. Or at least she did while…
-
Drokk sake, is this girl ever not startled? I give Ashlee a moment to stop fidgeting and say, "Hey, it's your court too. And it's cool of you to come see the practice. Having an audience makes us work harder. Especially Rys, he only plays speedbal…
-
I leave Jace to his silence. Even if I wanted to, I don't feel any sympathy. He's hacked off about Olivar. Pointless. A fight they can't win. I put my clothes on without a word and walk back out to the court. Huh. Ashlee. "Hey, Ash. Sorry, Ash…
-
I look back at him. Move my head side to side, weighing it up. "Doesn't strike me as the joining in kind of person, but it can't hurt to ask. Yeah. Maybe Pax." I shut off the shower and walk over to my locker, grabbing a towel on the way.
-
"Yeah, I say, turning to get soap from the dispenser. "You think it'd be me she came to see?" If not me, who else. "Zola was being a bitch, but we do need to think about getting one or two players more. Zola and Tabitha clearly can't play dual pos…
-
Back in the locker room I strip off my skinsuit and throw it into the recyc bin. Rys is already in the showers when I pad in there. I lift my hand over a sensor to turn on the water and just stand there in it for a while. "Soon as I remember wha…
