So good, Andrea. So good.
I adore Snargs! Oh, btw's, laughter happened. Almost forgot to tell you! I was giggling so hard when I saw that! She's such a brat!
I can feel my mouth twitch, like it's trying to smile, but it's being held back by the expression of bewilderment I'm clearly wearing now. I'm not so easily flustered, but I can hear it bouncing around the ship, and it makes me withdraw my fingers …
Visual references make everything so much better!
"S'that so?" Dire consequences. A dare. A very shiny button. It's got all the trappings of a bad decision, don't it? I settle my gaze on Snargle and smooth out my features into a serious expres…
I feel my grin widen at the warning, and I give the button a long, hard look. Funny how those few words make it seem that much brighter and more tempting, ain't it? "Yeah? What kind of consequences are we talking here? I ain't ever been one to s…
Snargle's talking, and I understand the words -- most of them -- but when they're all strung together like that, she might as well be singing to the squids. I give a few half-hearted nods, but I'm pretty sure I'm wearing my confusion pretty plainly…
A wide grin splits my face. I'm not usually a grinner. I'm not even usually much of a smiler. But something about the situation strikes me funny -- the goblin trying to calm the nerves of the big, bad pit-fighter by talking about bells and whistl…
My lips curl into a bit of a smirk, and I nod slightly in response. True enough. I've got faith in the lady and all, but this does seem a touch ominous, so I can't help but wonder what we'll do if singing it to sleep don't work.
Squids, this sile…
Three hours. That's a long time. Even if them squids weren't attacking the Hand, that would be a long time for them to wait us out.
Except I hate waiting.
I rock back on my heels and make a show of looking over all the buttons and knobs and thin…
No one comes to the lower depths unless they absolutely have to -- and the last time I was here was under pretty similar circumstances, actually. Except, back then, we were just hiding -- trying to hide, anyway. Things might've gone a bit better i…
I'm sure Snargle is the best pilot out here, but one goblin can only do so much. "Watch that fighter on the left there. No -- the one behind that one. They've just finished a run and are headed back around. If you keep that one between us, they …
I offer the lady a nod and a small smile, grateful that I've something more to do than just stand around and wait.
Alright, so, making sure the lady doesn't walk off the ship is still, technically, standing around and waiting. But it's more of a u…
I must say I'm rather impressed by Kale's outburst. I think I have a good measure of the kind of man the Captain is, and that speech will go a lot further than my attempt to sway him with silly things like experience and common sense. I give Kale …
I probably should be rejoicing, but the Captain turning himself and his crew in sits heavy in my gut. It's got a lot to do with this notion I got that I don't want people getting hurt on my account, but it's also got a little to do with the fact th…
This explains why some random person on my feed was like, "Oh, hey, awesome game!" And I played it cool, but, secretly, I was like, what the heck? How did you find me?
I abandoned the room I share with the lady almost as quickly as the Captain had. I've never been one to laze about, wounded or not, and I'm not about to take up that habit now. Instead, I found my way up to the bridge as I'm not sure where anyone …
Also, given how awkward that conversation was, I can totally see someone's reaction simply being pretending not to have heard and latching onto the nearest distraction!
And Naomi is kind of turning into everyone's big sister, and I love it.
Don't worry! That was interesting because I think Naomi just changed MY (as in Todd's) mind about what Cyrus should do about LB as well as Cyrus' mind.
Awesome!!
If the fussing wasn't strange enough, the kiss on the forehead does it for me: I wrinkle my nose up and draw my eyebrows together in a comical look of utmost confusion.
"Guess it's the least I can do to repay you for saving my life and all."
But, …
I hold my arm out at that peculiar angle to make it easier for him to bandage it up. "Squids, Captain. You sure know your way around a girl, don'tcha? I think I'd be less depressed if you told me I was dying." I, for one, had no idea the Captain…
I was prepared for the pain, but this is the painful sort, the kind that travels under your skin like it's eating through to your bones. I clutch the blanket hard to either side of me, greet my teeth together and close my eyes as it works its way i…
