When Bon squeezes me, it's like a brick of C4 went off in my spine. "Your ... longing," I repeat the words against her mouth. With anyone else, I'd say more. Let's get out of here. But with Bon, that feels too ... coarse. I'm afraid she'd say n…
-
I smile when Bon makes her contribution, press my upturned lips into her neck when she returns, hands at the small of her back. My fingers move upward, trace one of the names on her shoulder. "Little Anne," I say, with an exhale. "I haven't thoug…

Bon and I are still dancing when the hollering around Grunge starts. I catch Rainey's eye and slide off one of my bangles and throw it her way with a little wrist action. "Anything you want to give Grunge for her first ride as an Arrow?" I say quie…

Hazing? I'm pretty sure to a one we think of it more of initiation rites. It changes sometimes though, depending on who's in charge and what Dog's feeling. For me, it was like this: You get asked by Cujo, via Belka translating, if you really wann…

"I have never wished it was you," I say simply. I don't varnish the truth for her. "Nee was a bright star -- blinding -- but bright stars always flare and go out eventually. If it'd been you that day, it wouldn't change that. We just would've los…
-
I go down beside Bon, help her to her feet and away from the mess. To the railing in case there's any more where that came from. Wipe her face with my sleeve. ::Water:: I sign to Zeus, and then bring the glass to Bon's lips when Zeus hands it to …

I'm beside Bon, ready to take her aside and hold back her hair. Belka's question to her catches me off guard, although maybe not as much as it does Bon?

"Oh, splendid," I say, with genuine warmth and I kiss her again, this time almost chastely upon the lips. "We will talk later, but for now, there is someone else you should dance with." I point her towards Cujo and give a little nudge. I make sure…

Manipulating Vignette. (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 5, 2. Total: 10)
-
"Jax," I repeat. An acknowledgement. A little turn, a sway. Vignette is following perfectly. "Well, the haul wasn't all we brought back. We brought back some people. Five and ten of them." I raise our hands up high so that there are just in…
-
I lead Vignette away from her entourage as the music changes to a more languid tempo. If she is hesitant, I make sure to guide her steps. I feel a tingle behind my temple and know she's tasting my thoughts -- when she opens her eyes, I gently clos…

"Point taken," I say. For a moment, as Valentine swings me, I have my eyes closed and I'm missing Marmaduke so badly it hurts. Then I open them and I'm smiling and trying to ignore the tear running down my cheek. Maybe Val won't see it. When the …

I relinquish Dog when the song is over and make sure SeaTac knows that my eyes are on him -- he may has escaped dancing for now, but Six Cup doesn't last forever. Unless you drink all six of course, in which case I may be fooled after all. "You o…

Three toasts and my glass is empty. I slide it down the bar where it clinks with the others. "Get over here, woman," I say to Dog and then I'm pulling her away from SeaTac towards the little unofficial dancefloor, next to the the radio. I give Ze…

I leave Hope and come up behind Dog as she's talking, put my arms around and into her pockets from the back. "She had a horrific laugh," I correct with a little, sad smile. "But it didn't stop her from using it, thank the flood. She loved to hear …
-
I see the way Hope's decision makes ripples through the Arrows. But is it a snub or just a slightly easier choice? Everyone knows I'm quicker to forgive than Ace. I pull Hope in a hug. I'm in glad rags. Lots of gauze, feathers and clacking wood…

Chance begged off. She seemed still sorta shook by how bad Marmaduke was doing. And I caught her looking out the window towards Grindhouse. After some teasing, got her to admit she wanted to go see Queen Anne. So she left. I made her promise …
-
"I'll be fine," I say absent-mindedly, as I watch the coast growing larger. "Eventually. I always am." There's never enough time to not be fine. "Thanks for coming. When I called you. Do the same, and I'll be there. I promise." I pull Val…

When Valentine finds me, I take zir to the prow. One feeling I'll take away from the Leviathan in my short-yet-long time upon it that feeling of homecoming when they took me to their red-stained port. That's something Valentine should experience. …

Most interesting thing I found in Portar's belongings? An old book, carefully wrapped up in plastic. Words highlighted and underlined. Worn leather cover, embossed with a cross. I can't read the words, but I've heard of these books before. The …

Magda the washerwoman loves me. Kite and Townie, both guards, love me.

Artful and Gracious. Marking exp. (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 4, 6. Total: 13)

I shake Dog off at first, sorta fixated on getting some sort of keepsake from the wreckage of this awful week. But it's hard to stay fixated when everyone else leaves and she's just there, holding her hand out. ::I wasn't sure I'd ever see you aga…
-
While Dog replies, I start rifling through Portar's stuff, breaking and throwing things on the floor if they aren't useful; piling anything helpful or valuable on the bed. I'm singing a little rhyme half beneath my breath. "Baby there's a shark in …
-
"Put the gun down, Portar, and we'll consider letting you anywhere near the controls," I say calmly. "You don't know how quickly SeaTac or Dog can put a bullet into you. Regardless, you're not the one who'll be setting the terms in the discussion…
-
Seems I don't have to go looking after all. I nod to SeaTac, slide my bad hand around Dog's back. "I locked the Captain in there," I say quietly, pointing. "Two civilians, albeit civilians with guns, behind that door," I point again. "He had a budd…
-
"Hold tight, Captain, I'll find someone to negotiate with you," I say. I shut the door of Portar's cabin and then twist his own key into the lock with a decisive gesture. I tick it back in my pocket and start pulling out all the wires leading into …
-
"It'll stop soon, Captain, I promise," I say to Portar in a clear, soothing voice. I let the talk of betrayals subside in my throat. "We both want your people to live, don't we? Go on back, get on the intercom. Tell your folks to cease fire, tell…
-
"I believed you, and it lost me my fingers, it lost me Glover, and it lost me my sister Lassie. I need you to believe me this time, Captain. I have a plan. I just need a moment with you, and we don't have much time left." I gesture him into his c…

"She did, did she?" I ask. "Was that before or after Cutter put a knife to her throat? Before or after he cut her open? Before or after you opened fire on my sisters?'
