I pull the sheets down expecting to find some prank, maybe a cruel one. But I was not prepared for what I do find. I feel the wet on my hand and arm, I smell the scent of Nadja and Mark's obvious sex. I withdraw my hands from the bed and fall back o…

Rolling Futile Hope: +Dark (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 3, 2. Total: 6) I lose all strings on Mark. I lose condition hopeful. I gain condition betrayed.

It feels like a long walk down one hall and up the other back to my room. I hold myself around the middle, feeling a little queasy from the drug, and from the sudden anxiety that goes with what happened. What did I ever do to Olivar? He was being a …
-
That chills my mood even more. I look at Lucas feeling suddenly pale. "Forget it," not being dismissive of Lucas or anything like that, but I just have to get out of here and I don't want any more complication. I look over at Olivar, lurking ther…
-
I look up at Lucas as stands and take another moment to get it together. I'm about to answer him when Olivar comes in looking a mess. It's a little hard to think... I'm suddenly aware that I'm here sitting on Lucas's bed and now someone who has no r…
-
I wake up from the disturbing visions a little disoriented and startled. I blink up at the unfamiliar ceiling (I'm used to my dark little bunk when I wake up). Lucas touches my arm and when I hear his voice I suddenly realize where I am. I push my…
-
Lucas has me thinking of deeper things, about our lives and what may matter. He makes me think of Priscilla, and Gwen. And all of our fragile lives. Of maybe how can I bring some small comfort to her. Or to Lucas. Or myself. The visions show me wha…

Gaze into the abyss: Dark+1+2 Forward (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 6, 4. Total: 13)

Lucas earns a little sideways laugh as he mentions that first part, about the Corporal and all. But I'm still eyes on the Navi. But when he sits near me a little too close he's got my nervous attention again and I kind of stop. But he has such ener…

Ok. Ok fine. I slowly cross the room as he gets his drek together and sit on the edge of the bed. I pick up his navi and get to my speedball news site as he preps his dose. I look up occasionally to follow what he's doing. Still a little nervous …
-
I stand with arms crossed, leaning on the frame of the door to the hall. I tilt my head slightly as he offers me... drugs? I almost laugh, "you can't be serious?" If Lucas had any idea how many different drugs they've given me over the years in …
-
He says some pretty nice things, although he's surprisingly awkward about it. Doesn't match my impression of him at all, really. Makes me glance away and wonder what he sees in my eyes. I reach up and touch my frames as he talks about them. But I s…
-
He asks about my glasses, which I'd honestly rather not talk about. I've been asked about it before and I always tell the same lie, "uhh... yeah my eyes aren't compatable... my cornea is too thin." Little shrug, little smile. The truth is more comp…
-
I'm not stupid, he's not my friend and I don't know very much about Lucas at all. But that light in his eyes when he was talking about his uncle, that flash of sincerity I saw when he seemed to love if not the game, then his relationship with the …
-
I'm too excited to really notice that little touch, that would be zeng!" I say excitedly, my mind swirld a bit, "but... but what would I say? It's not like I play... oh... oh no don't do that." My cheeks go red and I shake my head excitedly at the …
-
I'm totally ignoring the words coming out of his mouth, well... until he brings up Zhan Koff. Who is an amazing speedball player, way before my time but he's unavoidable if you know anything about the history of the sport. I hear the excitement in …
-
"I didn't know," it's not like I wish Olivar well, he was a jerk last year, a jerk this year and specifically a jerk today. But he doesn't deserve to get thrashed by the strommin' Corporal. He sits so close it makes me tense up, stop moving. Like …
-
I watch intensely, there's not much time left before curfew and I need to take it all in. Highlight reel plays in one corner while I go through articles. My glasses sit at the edge of the screen and catch glare. Every now and then I tap back to repl…
-
I don't know. All i did was tell him Priscilla might not be well and suddenly it's "ok, whatever" and walk away? Moments ago he was looking at me like I mattered. It's kind of crushing. But also opens my eyes a little. "You go ahead, Mark... I'm …
-
It feels like Rys caught me doing something wrong. Well, for sure I'm not supposed to be out on the speedball court. He must have let it slide 'cause Mark is here, But it gets my heart going in that moment Rys looks at me with that official scowl. …
-
It's hard to believe this is happening. I'm going to wake up soon. I nod yes and look down at the launcher, I really don't think it will work but I'm not going to say no. It's a chance. "Ok... I can... I can just watch. You know, from there," I gl…
-
Mark sits me down and talks to me. Alone on the speedball court. It's more than I ever dared to dream about while watching earlier. The odd way he was looking at me earlier kind of fades away. We speak about the game. Here on the field of play we …
-
Yeah, that makes me smile, when the first word out of his mouth is "wow." Now he's embarrasing me in a totally different way, "oh... no I could never... captain? You're kidding... of course you're kidding." Obviously, he's kidding Ashlee. There…
-
Right, so... yeah that makes me nervous as hell the way he's approaching and saying really nice stuff but looking at me a totally different way. Rys? Oh... is that a joke? Ok... I wish I were wearing my glasses at least, it feels like I've got now…
-
It feels kind of delicious, actually, as I slip into the low-G of the speedball court. The polished metals, the smell of grease and sweat. The electric feel in the air takes my breath away. I remove my glasses and slip them in my pocket, then close …
-
Takes a little while to calm down. That last moment watching her, watching her door slide closed. I hope she's ok. I hope she's not sick with... I hope it's something else. I can't go back yet, well... I can, but it's not worth it. Yeah I hurry b…
-
She knows? It's too much for me to bear, my cheeks are red and I stop short of her door, feeling more embarrassed than almost... ever. Like she's seen through me. I cup my cheeks in my hands almost like I'm trying to hide. "Feel better..." I wea…
-
Now that we're out in the lonely halls I can't stand it any more, I lean a little closer and urgently ask, "ok, seriously? Who are you even talking about? Nobody's into me Priscilla. Don't you think I know that?" I believe it, too. Cause it's true,…
-
My head's already shaking but when she suggest that, "oh no... no no.... I can't." One more fleeting glance at the court. "Let's go back," a twist in my gut as I realize she probably doesn't want to be seen walking with me. And she wanted to meet …
-
I probably can't hide the tense and worried look on my face as Priscilla starts to bleed. I keep y distance at first, at least until she speaks. "Yeah... maybe that's a good idea," I suggest helpfully and scoop up her Navi and carry it across my ch…
