I'm not sure there is any them left in there at all. That's really a June thing. I walk up to June, "I'm going to head into the bumblebee girl's house, but first, what about the twins?" I turn to look at them, watching them make their round of smal…
I dart towards June. Reaching out to steady her. "Looks like you went through something rough. Sorry I didn't end up being much help..."
I look around, "Guess we should be grabbing stuff." I look at what I assume is Parcher's dead body. I can't se…
I have her attention, I can feel her eyes on me, begging me to submit.
She called me a slave, she used to avoid using that term... I swallow roughly against the ferrying of heartbreak that rouses in me and push back the tears in my eyes. It was …
I stuck in a breath, farathoom. I don't t myself think too much. Hearing her... I pull away from Reese, "Sorry, handsome. "
I need to clear my head, which in this case means getting people out of it.
I don't try to shield anyone, I just unbutto…
I detanegle myself from June a bit. If he knows who I am, then I don't have to play a complete fool, still wouldn't hurt if he under estimated me a bit.
I look towards the twins, fully appraising them. They are far more twisted than the pair I saw…
My hand is back on June's wrist as quickly as I can and still make it look natural. I lean my head on her shoulder and smile softly, disarmingly, like I would when Gloriana's guests would make crude remarks about me. Like nothing could touch me.
…
I only give a cursory glance around the place, after all my role is to be into June. So, that's what I do, angle my body into hers, giving her most of my attention. The twins do cause me a milliseconds pause, nothing that wouldn't be understandabl…
I see June's look and nod, but pull myself together. This is something I have done a hundred times. I have walked straight backed and played a two hour concert with lashes on my buttocks that were still oozing painful into the shell of my dress. I h…
This is the most I have seen of the DVFP, it's stark and terrifying. There are moments of beauty, but they are eclipsed by the poverty and morose scenery. June puts me to good use though, charming United Fronters who ask us questions, getting them t…
In delicate handwriting:
Dearest Esco,
I wanted to do this in person and I am sorry I'm not there. I have left to search for a more permanent solution to Gloriana. I made my home in the Irons, but having just been unlocked from one cage, I don't …
"I have two jingle now, and I'll keep making more. But, I want to know how to fish, meaning I'd prefer to be trained to do this. But, I'll happily barter favors, act as low-threat security even, you've seen what I can do. Anything that, well, that i…
I furrow my brow and immediately admonish myself for doing so. I gently school my features into a more neutral look. But she still didn't answer the question regarding payment.
I turn to Reese, whispering, "Of course, I slept on an oil drum for two…
Hoolies, so, she does something to people. Is she doing something now, I wonder.
"Of course." I say smiling in her direction.
"I know very little about what you can actually do. I know what you have promised me you are capable of. I know that I …
I don't know if there is a role for me in Othello, I'm sure some would think of me as Emelia. Though June cautioned about not becoming Othello. I shake my head, it's not a clean comparison.
When I feel her hand in mine, I feel something else too. …
Othello, where the innocent die at the hands of the manipulated. A dark tale of people hating what is different and good. I look at her as we start up the stairs. "Interesting choice. Who's your favorite character?"
We get to the stair and put my …
I nod. "We are getting sorted. How about Reese and I come down tomorrow Mr. Peppering? Get the key and work out a schedule."
I turn to June, "Of course, let's." I move to June's side and nod back at the owner of... oh geks I still don't know the n…
I smile and stick out my hand, "Seems shiney enough, I think we have a deal."
I look over my shoulder and what do you know, I thought and the devil cometh'. I smile warmly at her, "Your friend alright?"
I look at Reese and nod. "Security is actually Reese's thing. I'm sure he'd be amiable to the job." I wish that Reese or June was with me now, cause I just don't know the Depot or really any of it's twists and turns. Not that June owes me anything l…
I give him a half-smile and nod. "For now." If I start bringing in a lot of people, then I'm going to ask for a cut of drinks, but that can wait till I get a following... if I get a following. "You have a deal if that includes Reese over there." I n…
I finish the song and hoolies it felt good. I feel the cameras on me, and I hope if Gloriana isn't getting the hint by now, that the feed is. I need popular opinion on my side.
I smile at Peppering, as I look for Reese and June - the girl on June'…
Hoolies, I don't know why, but I honestly thought it would be harder than this. "Absolutely, something low-key, coming right up."
I'm not getting as many stares as normal, which I think it s because Mr. Preening is very good at getting booze to his…
I watch Reese leave and think about following, but I don't want to make a bad impression. I smile at Peppering.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Peppering. I'm great at bringing in customers. I used to regularly double the clientele at the Diamond, the bar …
