My face crumples. I don't want to force him. How on earth did I get here? The things I've done... The tears start properly. I bury my face in his shirt, holding him tight. My thoughts swirl inside my head- ink in water. I know I should do it. I know…
Frak- I was not expecting that. I hesitate for a moment, but return her passion for a minute. Then I pull back a little. "Hey. Hey, you ok?" I ask her.
I put a hand on his cheek when he sighs. Fuck those stupid laws.
"Can you wait, just a bit? Maybe I can suggest you help during the meeting. I..." I swallow. This is rough. This is the bit I haven't wanted to admit to myself. It was one thing when …
I look back at Tulle, not asking her permission, per say- frak these feelings! But yeah, I just don't want to leave her if she's not ok. Yeah. That's it.
"Yeah." I say, assuming Tulle doesn't give me a look. I lead us to the blue room and sit down …
Of course he could. If it were a thing he could do in the night, avoiding everyone, he'd do it, but of course they'll be working on it around the clock. I nod at him. "I just don't know how to sell that to the council. I don't want you involved with…
I go meet with Metro. If I can find someone else who's going to the meeting, I'll send a message that I'll be late.
"Hey. What's up?" I ask Metro when I see him. I know he wouldn't pull me away from the council meeting without reason.

I guess we'll hang around here for a while? Part of me wants to go back to my room and frak Tulle until we forget about this, but I'm also hoping to see Janco. She's good people. I wonder how Toot is. God- when did I start caring about peo…
[Stitch]
Fuck. I don't want to do this in the middle of the bay, around all these people. I don't want to expose myself to some stranger- who by all rights should just let die. Some times you can do everything right and still lose them.
But more t…

Well I guess we all file into the room, then. I'm a little worried about Janco, but just this moment I've got more people to worry about than I can handle.
"Hey, Satin- going on a trip?" I say, seeing her bed in the hall. "How ya feeling?…
[Stitch]
OOC: Nobody else has an eye on Janco.

As soon as SlimJim and his buddies are gone, I exhale, smiling. Well that worked out ok. I'm impressed with Tulle's weapon- I didn't know she had it in her! I wink at her.
"Come on. Let's f…

The interface of the terminal comes back like muscle memory- I surprise myself a little. I get the intercom to the who ship up. "All yours." I tell Kiddo as I step aside.
When she turns to address the folks, I slip into the background of …
[Stitch]
"I'm not sure, hang on." I look for a terminal- maybe I can figure it out.

"Cover me?" I ask Tulle with a dumb grin on my face. "Everybody who's not armed go find cover- these guys might try to grab one of you."
I wait for a pa…
[Stitch]
Fuck. Of course they are. I round up Rinso and Kiddo. "Sounds like the bay is the place to be. Anyone want to come with?" I grab my med-pack, along with as many emergency kits I can carry. If the lift is working, I'll take that down to a l…

I whip my head around and whisper "Get behind cover!" to my people. If Bacardi's got guns, he's gonna use 'em on these assholes. I don't want to be in the middle of it.
[Stitch]
OOC: Where will Kiddo be most effective? (2/3)
I nod at Ki…

I give Tulle a smile. A tiny voice tells me I could slip away with her, ditch my crew. We could go somewhere else- anywhere. Just the two of us.
When Too comes out, I give Braun a pleading look- she's the star of my damn show. If he won'…

My brows furrow with concern. "I don't know about them. I want to help them, but I have to take care of these people here." My heart breaks for this girl. "They may come here..." I nearly suggest she goes looking for them. She knows the du…
