  • Silica I emerge from sk8rtown and see the big 'scrapers across the flats to the West. Makes me think of One-footed and the underlake... I picture us climbing up there, that sound of the wind through the steel, the crunch of broken glass under my fe…
  • Stashes and Haunts Silica roams a lot, but when she needs a place to go to there's a few around. The Hall Library building down South, Jones Park Playground near the Doc's place, or any of the big rail yards in a pinch.
  • Silica She leans down to look in my face and tells me not to piss him off, I lean away from her slightly and say, "Ok... ok... I just.... just needed..." and lose my balance, catching myself before I fall with a hand on the ice behind me. She's t…
  • Silica Feels like she slapped me. Yeah, fuck... I know. Shit. I turn my head to look up at her, crouching there with my wrists resting on my knees and my hands kind of open, not wanting to wipe fishiness on myself. I reply defensively, almost li…
  • Silica Can't hide my smile as I step up to take the bucket from her. I crouch down to feed the little things, I don't care in the least about the smell.
  • Silica I stay kind of aloof here, this place isn't in my comfort zone at all. Give her her space. But when she goes on about her bro, I kinda snap back at her, "that's on him!" I hate this kind of shit, "ice don't just... make you do shit like bea…
  • Silica Had some kind of dream last night, about flying... or swimming maybe, deep underwater where it doesn't matter which way is up. Wasn't scary, for once... just lonely. I wish I could really feel comfortable with Wonky, but I just fucking don't…
  • Silica I'm looking at him though. Standin' there hurting in this crazy beautiful place. And I know I'm a fucking terrible person. I fuckin' know it. "Yeah...." I answer simply, quietly, and start to walk to him. I'm a fucking terrible person caus…
  • Silica I turn to look at him as he answers and there's this hurt in his eyes. The way he's looking at me makes me just stop. And I can feel what he did, he killed his place here. That demon inside him comes out and ruins everything for him. His f…
  • Silica The little bird takes the meat from my hand and I do flinch and cry out a little bit, probably in a much too childish way. For just a couple of seconds I forget everything and it's just me and this little creature. Then Wonky is there again…
  • Silica I look at him and almost laugh, "for real?" Then I shrug and figure what the hell, right? I get a piece of the jerky out of my pack and tear off what looks like a penguin sized piece. I crouch down, slowly approaching, "c'mere penguin... c…
  • Silica I gotta laugh at how Wonky's actin in here. Like he's gonna show me something. I just wanted to go for a ride, don't know what the fuck we're doing in here. So I hustle after him, he's power walking or whatever and I just don't share his mot…
  • Silica I'm wondering why Wonky brought me here, the animals are crazy, I mean... these fuckin fish used to be swimmin' around in here. More amazing is that nobody's eaten them yet. I don't need to start some shit with this girl, I shake Wonky off …
  • Silica Sk8rs, no I got no particular problem with 'em. Not like they're my buddies or anything but they're young for the most part and don't fuck with me like a lot of old fuckers do. I did have a tangle with Morrow once. I was sleepin in the sno…
  • Silica I make the trade. I trade for whatever, food if I can get somethin' good cause you know I do have to eat. Anything else I can pawn off at the market or trade for stuff wherever. But it's gotta be small stuff mostly, I don't haul shit around …
  • Silica I answer almost instantly, "my father gave it to me." And I almost pull away out of instinct, but I don't. Gotta keep calm here, why am I freaking out? I've obviously sold to her before and unless somethings changed we probably don't need t…
  • Silica She startles me and I stop abruptly and turn, "uhh... yeah... yeah 'course I am. You need a fix?" I glance at Wonky and back, feeling ever so slightly unsettled by the beer and the uncomfortable atmosphere of the place. I'd say I got a littl…
  • Silica Silently I nod. I look at the beer, teeth kind of gritted, and then I just drink it as quickly as I can, raising the glass to empty it. Probably dribble a little down my chin and cough after I finish. Seriously I don't drink much and I almo…
  • Silica Hardbag watchin' me through his shades. I wonder why he's always wearin' those things. Can't see his eyes but yeah he's watchin. But with Micro lookin' at me too like that, I start to feel like I fucked up here. Wonky's having a rougher ti…
  • Silica He touches my back, and leaves his hand there. I tense up, taking a sharp breath and sitting slightly forward at the touch. When a man touches me it sets off old feelings inside that I'm often not prepared for. "Yeah... you know it..." I say…
  • Silica He looks at the seat and I rise from the floor just enough to slide my ass into it. I sit kind of sideways, facing Wonky rather with one elbow on the table. I shrug and look at the goggles, "I had a little shit to take care of..." I smile.…
  • I might of dealt around here a couple years ago, the edge of the lake you find people paying a premium for storm insurance, as they might call it. But I wasn't into that scene that harcore yet during Monarch's dads time. Back then I probably would c…
  • Silica Wonky's attention makes me feel better, and the weight of my injury and the stupid shit I did to try and get even kind of lightens a bit. Feels like that's over now and I feel weak and relieved at the same time. I crouch next to Wonky and cr…
  • Silica It's a long walk out to the Pier and to Monarch's so I have time to calm down and settle my mind a little bit. Not sure why I'm going so far out of my way just to see Wonky again, but I just kind of have to do this. I return Micro's nod as …
  • Leftahead. Yes, my character is looking for where the Skegs might hang out so introduced a new location. Wanted to make sure it sounds reasonable to you. Don't think it's their home base or anything, but a place you might find some of them if you'r…
  • Hey I needed a place to look for skegs, established an icebound tugboat turned sledder bar north of the pier if thats cool?
  • Silica You know I'm looking for Wonky, right? But I realize I don't know where he lives... I mean... I know where we stayed, but that's not his place so I gotta assume he hangs with the gang, right? But the skegs... yeah I guess that old bar set u…
  • Silica Man she's feeling the same shit I'm feeling and watching her limp off in pain is killin me. I open my mouth to say something and even take a step after her... but no. Finally I clasp my hands hard closed at my sides and stamp my foot har…
  • Silica It's pretty nice to be asked but I have something I want to do, "yeah, I'll burn back later maybe... but I got some shit to take care of topside, allright?" I'm settling down too much. I like One-footed, really. She's fun, they both are. B…
  • Silica I look at her, eyes slightly narrowed like I think she might want something from me, "yeah, ok... if you need some shit done overland drop me a word." Lemma can tell that I'm tired, still hurting from some hurt to her leg but doing a good j…
