  • Silica At first I just let them do their thing, well... I don't really consider it my thing, what the fuck do I know about pushin' fish? But this hustler's being a dick, I can see that much. I stand there tight-lipped for a couple seconds but can'…
  • Silica Oh yeah... bullet in... I sort of look at the gun as he expertly manipulates it. You know, almost reaching for it like I shoulda known but not. Footie gets my attention, and with a notd to Gnu hurry out of there towards the fish trader, "y…
  • Silica Fuck who am I kidding... if it was just me here I'd find a way, get in the guys pants or something, but... I glance over at Footey and Nose and somethin' makes me hesitate... I end up just staring at Gnu for a few seconds and I can't bring t…
  • Silica Yeah I share Footie's look. Wish we'd had some warning of this shit cause there aint much we can do about it now standing in front of the guy. But you know, I keep my gun tucked in the small of my back, maybe they won't check... when its my…
  • Silica Truth is I don't drink. Not that I hate it... someone I knew used drink as an excuse... guess in my life I've had alcohol a handful of times though. It sort of happens. "Yeah, I gotta take it easy," convenient excuse, "but some good fuckin'…
  • Silica I walk with them, you know I'll help with the sled too, probably they won't ask me, I just take a turn. "Beer? You drink enought fuckin' beer you're gonna be the pukin' guy..." I look at Nose with a little doubt, and a glance at Footie to c…
  • Silica This is tough on them. I don't travelwith others so often, and today's colder than last time. I gotta trust them to make it allright though... I'm only going to help if things look serious. And we're almost there. "Ok, let's be smart this t…
  • Silica We cross the ice, following more or less the same path as the other day... but something makes me pause. I stop them... somethin' deep down under our feet sounds off. I crouch down, press my cheek to the ice to listen and raise a hand to kee…
  • (Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 5, 4. Total: 11)
  • Silica "I'm covered, Squirrel," I nod, indicating that I'm armed, but I'm not showing it to him or pointing out where I carry my weapon. I don't exactly conceal it but it's nicely out of sight under my shirt and now, jacket. Once we're on the ice …
  • Silica We share a good laugh at Nose's expense, then when she bumps me I turn to Footie and offer her a tame little high-five. Yeah... But it's time to get moving... they take care of their shit and we head out. One-footed offers me her thanks an…
  • Silica I just kinda stay out of their tussle, take a half step forward a time or two cause Nose's going like... a little too far here, but I keep out of it, but I kind of have this amused look, until it gets a little more... not serious, but intens…
  • Silica Yeah this weird. I walk through the tunnel, past everyone. Some of them near my age, most of them younger. Coulda been me... Naw, there's people around and you know, I got my pride, too. I don't take her hand, just give her a "for real?" Lo…
  • Silica This place... I grit my teeth a bit as I stand, sure I let her help me up, long as nobody's staring. "Sure as shit ain't no soldia's kickin' down here..." I follower her into the tunnel, guess we're looking to find Nose, right? I feel like…
  • Silica I stand with the fucking hat on my head lighting up the ice, all glittery and smoothed where countless miners have walked. Lighting her up as she crawls ahead, "fuck no I ain't scared!" I hurry after her... not letting her out of my sight.
  • Silica I enjoy her obvious curiosity, "hmm, well both..." I hurry after her into the mines. Hard hat? "Seriously?" I tap the hat loudly with the metal rings on my finger... But I put it on, wishing I could see myself. It looks kind of natural on …
  • Silica I stop when she mentions the gloves... I touch a finger to my temple, tapping, "ok... yeah you're right." I turn to look at her, a sheepish shrug, "I'm an asshole, yah?" We walk on, she's askin' about where I've been, "all over the fuckin'…
  • Silica What am I, your fuckin' mother? I scoop up her gloves and clip them together onto my backpack with the little metal clip each one has on a loop. Then I hurry after her.
  • Silica I glance at One-footed, that look on her face is contagious, "well, scrapin' fish looks pretty exciting..." I shrug at Footie as if to pretend that's a good idea. "But sure... yeah we can do this shit," I nod to her, and then at Squirrel. I…
  • So what is that, one barter?
  • Silica I snicker as Footie goies on about the pukin dude, and she just up and tosses the gloves on the fishgutty table... gotta just shake my head. Actually they are for warmin... Nearly say something about ice... you know it's not all good... whe…
  • Silica She shows me the gloves, "oh come on, seriously?" I shake my head in feigned (And partially real) frustration, "it's not even fuckin' cold in here!" She goes on, teasing, I dance a step or two away my tone playful, "he's in love with me huh…
  • Silica Well color me surprised. I actually smile, nodding at Squirrel like a kid promised candy, "ok... ok yeah, Squirrel. Cool." Then One-Footed comes up and it's a little hard not to grin stupidly seeing her again. I half expected her to be co…
  • Silica Been a few days... Yeah I went all the way back to see Poppy after Hadden dropped me off in town. I been keeping down low, Soldier Boys out breakin skulls and I want none of that. I haven't been back to any of my usual haunts since, either, …
  • Silica "Yeah well fuck you too!" Standing up there in the truck bed I raise the finger towards the mausoleum. Yeah, fuck her, I had enough of that bitch Melancholy, her sister, this whole fucking place... "The hell am I gonna tell Poppy?" I whin…
  • Silica I look up at him for a moment, then suddenly I slide out of the seat and hop down from the truck, kind of in his face, but not really in a confrontational way. I look up at him, real close like in the face and spread my hands for a second, "…
  • Silica I sit there lookin' out the open door at him. Can't quite get myself calm... here I am face to face with Hadden and we're talkin' about Molotov... fucking Molotov... and dying and shit. This aint right. Hadden can see it in my face, there'…
  • Silica I start even before he finishes waving my hands in the air in front of my face almost like shooing away a bug, "wait.., wait up. Come on, that's bullshit. Rosie fuckin' saved your ass? No... my sister aint that fuckin' hard, Hadden. Rosie ne…
  • Silica How am I supposed to fucking answer that? It's obvious he's getting all close to my sister, whatever... but... "I hate this fuckin' place," I start... then hang with my mouth open for a second before sitting up on the seat and turning to fa…
  • Silica My hand's up on the rear-view mirror as he approaches, was takin' a look at myself, something I probably don't do often enough. I turn the mirror a little further to see him over my shoulder, tappin' on the glass. Great... at least he doesn…
