I twirl the glass between my fingers like an uneven baton. It is lovely, if impractical. "I came with Dog," I say simply, point to the departing Arrow leader. "She took me out of a nightmare." I pause, crinkle my brow and roll my eyes. "Which doe…

I'm contemplating Union. Both their muscles, hidden beneath the cable-knit, but also their insistence on trying to make fancy glasses a thing at the Yacht Club. "Have you considered going to Bon, instead of Valentine? The physicker. She uses all…

• who is most vulnerable to me? • who is my biggest threat? • who or what what should I be on the lookout for?

I hadn't thought about reading the sitch here, but not a bad idea. (Rolled: 2d6. Rolls: 6, 4. Total: 10)

Travellers with big pockets are who I angle for, when I'm working the room. After all, strangers are just marks you haven't conned yet, right? Too glib, we're not in the practice of actually fleecing folks, even though it might sound like that. But…

Grimace wins the duel, but there's something funny about it. Algee had the edge up until the end, but then it's her on the tracks, ride up in flames. YouDub bet on the outsider, huh? Weird. I'm getting up from Admiral's lap when Dog arrives. I no…

I nod to each of Valentine's points, ducking my head when she refers to me. I decline a second coffee. My eyes skate around Harbormaster's -- HM's. I don't know what to think about him. He still hasn't really acknowledged me. And what with Admi…

I look at Valentine gratefully when she speaks so directly to Harbormaster. I lounge back against Admiral, wait to see HM's reaction. Absent-mindedly finger the stubble at Admiral's jaw.
-
I lean in to the kiss, graze his chest with my nails and let Admiral's hand roam. Seems clear he needs to look like the boss man right now, so whatever that means is fine. Into Admiral's ear, for him alone, "We're great because of you, Admiral. …

Spending three: Harbormaster loves me Admiral loves me Harbormaster admires my patron (Admiral)

The distribution of power in the room was tangled, can't be making Admiral happy. He liked power taut, coiled around him. Looks like Valentine wasn't helping things tonight. Which was a shame, because usually zie could be relied on to balance thi…

Spending 1 Hold. How could I get Admiral to dismiss Speed from the room?

Reading Admiral. (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 6, 4. Total: 11)

There are both chaste and unchaste ways to sit in someone's lap, and I never chose the former. I settle myself into the half-circle of Admiral's arms, my curves against his hard lines, and try to read his mood.
-
Even when you don't have the strongest arm, it's still reassuring to know you're the one who snuck your weapons past the door guy. I throw back my espresso and return Valentine's kiss before I red rover the hangers-on to approach Admiral. If thi…

You wouldn't know it, to look at him, but YouDub has nightmares. Bad ones. I found him in a rough spot one night -- screaming in his sleep. Not sure exactly what I was thinking, but I just ended up inside his shack and leaning over his hammock, half…

"Always looking out for me, aren't you Buck?" I say with a toothy grin. The one ivory is a little crooked, but everyone always says it just makes my smile all the better. "I better get in there if I wanna show em up them two-penny Harbor girls. W…

Bloody flood. A sniper? A flashbang? "C'mon, Buck. You know I gotta do the dog and pony for Admiral. How am I gonna know when to steer clear of the trouble? What's the signal?" Fingers gliding across his chest, promising more of what he likes…

I am okay with never seeing that harbor again. It could turn into a desert for all I cared. A dozen boys and girls. Well. There was only one I'm worried about. If that twisty eunuch Gnat is there, with his pretty dead eyes, I might have to stop…
-
"It was," I agree absently, forgoing the chance to drink in the sight of Buck's lean lines to close my eyes and replay those images in my mind, that feeling of imminence. I shake it off. Can't do splash about it until after I deal with the next ho…

Best time to get answers from Buck is with him still inside you. But we'll get there soon enough. I'm not ready to think about that sorry byblow, that dark cully. Not yet. I remind Buck of what I've taught his mouth to do, and take my own pleasu…

Harbormaster hates me because I had a miscarriage after he roughed me up too hard. I don't say anything at first, I'm so surprised. Something in my belly constricts when I hear that name. But I don't think he noticed, because my hand is pushing p…
-
My heart beats a little faster whenever Buck is in the room. He's done me a few solids but I have a hard time saying "no" to him, and he knows it. I ignore the once-over, snake in real close so I can take a puff of his cigarello. Blow out a lop-s…

August nods when Dog sums up the story. She likes it a lot. Sometimes there isn't any more to someone than their hate or their grief or their madness. And sometimes there isn't much worth to a body that can't remember how to step outside of that.…

My hand fits in Dog's real easy-like. I keep stride with only a little extra effort on my part, returning Sounder's high five with my free hand. Hey Dog, how long we been together like this? Does it bug you when you see me with other folks? "Sic…

Entertaining at the races is mostly being a pretty face, talking small and pleasant. And being the eye candy for the fat wallets, the ones flush in their pockets. Sometimes I tell rough neighbors stories about how tough Admiral is, or how clever V…

August shakes her head like she's shaking water off her back. Kid got her all worked up over this? "Joey, if you want to sip some firewater, you gotta either ask for it or earn it like the rest of us. If Speed tries to start trouble with you, tel…

Internally, August is thinking of what she needs to do to get ready for the races and wishing the kid would stop dithering. But she keeps that off her face. She tries talking to him like an adult. "Laika's not gonna know unless she has to. So, w…
