  • Gates, Evergreen sits in the seat, looking up at you in a way she doesn't seem to like. She then sits up on her knees in the seat, little more your level. She leans forward to speak to you in a hushed and hasty whisper. "There's a thing going on …
  • August You follow Watauga down the hall, holding the breather in the mask close to your face. He pulls open the last layer of plastic sheeting and you're hit by the dank stench in the air. It permeates everything aboard, but it's far worse once you'…
  • Wataugs thinks, looks at your face. Takes a deep breath and starts to slowly nod. "Okay... ok come with me..." He leads you down the hall through the plastc sheeting to one of the makeshift airlocks. He pulls his gear down from their place on the w…
  • Watauga repeats your words quietly to himself, "mark on her head... Bon... Belka... Chance..." He struggles to copy the gestures you show him. Work aboard the ship is brutal, heavy work and you can feel his hands rough and calloused from difficult…
  • Watauga glances down for a second, a little bit embarrassed. "It was amazing finding you out on the water like that. I don't know how you did that, or even how you found us." He seems to be enchanted by your vulnerability, real or not. You're a goo…
  • Watauga is susprised at your loss of composure, even a little. He hasn't seen you reveal much of yourself to him. He opens his mouth and hesitates as he looks for words. "Am... am I... Important to you, August?" He had no idea, probably thought you…
  • The ship has a long hall stretching much of the way from the wheelhouse aft nearly to the prow. You can reach much of the deck from here. At several points along the hall you have to slip through double-layered plastic sheeting in order to get past.…
  • If you hadn't muddled his judgement the man would probably see the problem here. But instead he slides that hand again down your side to your hip. You can just feel his desire. "Do it. You are my guest about this ship, from today on, you eat and sle…
  • The Yacht Club Gates You sit at one of the tables along the entry to the Yacht club. Where you can be easily seen. The enticing scent of coffee and good food hangs in the air as a handful of customers come and go. You catch a glimpse of Harbormas…
  • Portar nods in agreement. "Watauga can be trusted, who are your sisters? They can't be as special as you but they are welcome as long as they don't question." He says those last few words with a grave finality. The captain slides a hand up your si…
  • Gates Evergreen didn't seem to sense the danger from her peers and looks a little bit disappointed that you're going. But she smiles and giggles, "izza date! I'll come and findya no sweat!" "Hey ol'man Gates! Flow outta here unless you got shiny to…
  • Gates Evergreen nibbles her lip and glances again over her shoulder, "he ain't much'a nothing, big brother Gates. Why you wanna talk to a little newbie dripper like that kid? Ain't I your best girl?" She pokes herself in the chest with her thumb an…
  • The rafter kids don't like nosey adults bugging them, and Evergreen's probably going to get in some trouble if she shows you where to find WotCee. Their safety is in their secrecy and stealth and that's a big no-no for the Rafter kids. She could be …
  • Portar places a hand on the small of your back, holding you to him. He smells of sweat and grease, the smells of his ship. His grip is firm but also careful, like he doesn't want to show too much desire. "They will all be ashes in the end," he says…
  • Gates Evergreen scrambles down the angled girder, the girl has amazing balance, and she's wrapped bits of cloth around her palms to keep any sharp edges she has to grab from cutting. Even so she's got a big scrape along her right arm and a new bruis…
  • Gates You walk around the long curved hall through SafeCo towards the front gate. The rafter kids kind of hang out in the girders and hidden places up above SafeCo. It's a treacherous place... a dangerous life. They pretty much make do my stealing b…
  • Nice roll. He's becoming entranced with you for sure. Would like to see a little more time before it really clicks, but you're just about there. The roll stands but I want to see where this conversation goes. He tightens up a bit as you step so cl…
  • "I'll get it done," the big man says with a gravely assurance and you know he will. Fortyfour has been a quiet presence in the flock the last few days. He seems a little distracted, like his whole self isn't here. Despite his rough exterior, he's sa…
  • Portar is hard to read but you pick up hints and subtle cues. His eyes narrow, he stands still almost like SeaTac does sometimes, that kind of personal discipline that stands out. He takes a deep breath and thinks on your question before answering. …
  • Portar takes a few slow steps forward as you offer him your makeshift crown, he takes it with arm extended then turns it over in his hands and rubs his thumb along the bent metal. "I'm no king..." he says quietly, looking past your hand to your fa…
  • August It’s good that you begin loudly as the crew is tired, hot, and hungry. The galley is a long rectangular room with a long serving counter along one edge which opens to the small kitchen. Meals have been simple and filling, a thick broth made w…
  • Gates The lord speaks in words, and vision... you feel faint and slighlty dizzy... You stand in a stream bed. Bare feet astride rounded pebbles and stones… just loose and slick enough that you can’t quite be sure of where you stand. Red runs around…
  • August Most of what you've seen aboard is all business. Bare metal most places, rusted, corroded, exposd to the air and the red. But it's sturdy and well maintained. Couple of the crew are constantly on maintenance and it shows. Seems like about t…
  • Edited the post and custom move to better reflect your situation. Any bonus forward from the previous scene is still yours, or could apply to the roll you just made to hit 10+, your choice.
  • SeaTac Joey follows you a couple steps back, you hear his footsteps as he walks in yours. Most of the people part to let you pass. Protected by your own reputation, people don’t often meet your eye and more often than not just get out of your way. B…
  • August, You close on the wreck, make your way down the gravely path, the half-buried logs Harbormaster had put in the act as steps for his clients, and the boardwalk of plywood and two by fours leading to the ship which squeaks, still, under your fe…
  • August Hey, so Vignette starts speaking to Millions. Quiet at first, like a parent talking to a child almost. But you listen to her words and you know... it sort of sounds like she's offering you to him. Did you hear that right? Now he's looking at …
  • Bon and SeaTac, SeaTac sits on Mox's bed, too many people in this cramped space and has to lean back into the pile of bedding and clothes tossed onto the thin mattress. It's unreasonably comfortable, actually, SeaTac. Bon strips the dressing from …
  • Vignette and August His skin is cool to the touch, pale delicate fingers on Millions' rough skin. His even breathing becomes halting, a thin wheeze... and then his eyes shock open, startling and wide. He stares into Vignette's eyes as she cradles hi…
  • Vignette You burst into the rooms, little more than small berths, only a few paces across each and closed by thin doors and heavy drapes thick with the musty scent of old perfume and recent sex. The first two clients, (we'll call them clients, to …
