Halted as requested. If my last line to Sweet is a manip roll, I think I'm basically trying to make Sweet view me as the "pack alpha" of AMC (and by extension, Cache). Which isn't actually untrue either, even though I lack that move. My leverage …
Yeah I'm waiting for the fallout from Cache's brain opening. Also I think my last line might be a manip roll? But I should let you get back to Cache first, yes?
Damn, I haven't heard anything lately. Been too busy fretting about the show, I have no idea what's driving Sweet these days. But I'm not moving out of his way.
Sweet has his moods but he knows me well enough to understand my loyalty to my gang - and I do still consider Cache part of my gang. Cache came the maul with me, and no one is closer in my circle of trust. What's making Sweet tick right now?
Ever…
A flicker happens in zir eyes. I take that for an answer, hoping.
"Stay right here, Cache. I'll be back for you soon."
One last hand squeeze. Stand, turn to face the roof access door, which we left slightly ajar.
When we reach the roof I sit Cache down beside some large metal box. I'm reminded of the jinglebox, which I still haven't had a chance to inventory. I'm not even looking around. First things first. Cache must remain hidden until I find Sweet and…
Ok 3 and 4 on the map are the double theater Jet calls 9 and 10. North of theater 6 let's put another one, but it's totally collapsed and we've salvaged everything worth salvaging out of there?
The first sentence clatters in my head, the others are barely even heard. This is not a drill, nor a joke. Cache - the new Cache - never jokes.
Grab zir hand and pull zir through the maintenance hallways, running. We're heading for theater 3... …
JET CAN MAKE HER DREAMS OF STARDOM A REALITY!
And re the above, although he'll let zir go if ze wants, Jet would much rather take Cache with him. This conversation has got him even more excited than he already was.
ETA: I hear ya on the brain ope…
I know we need to speed along here. Jet's intention is to go out another way, through some halls and egresses leading up to a maintenance area behind the stage of Theater 3, and then enter that theater through the stage door to look down at the roo…
I see. Upon careful consideration, we have decided that a career with AMC may not be the best choice for you at this point in time. We do, however, welcome you to express your freedom in the direction of any outmaulers you happen to encounter caus…
My eyes narrow as I try to imagine what that would mean. It gives me a strange feeling, like I'm looking at the back of some thing that is actually the front. I remember what Playboy said earlier, about fixing and braking being the same thing.
"I…
Ah that custom Front 242 move rocks! Of course Ben had to pick that song out of everything in Franc's collection. How different it might have been...
When you try to get Closer, roll +Hot. On a 10+, pick three. 7-9, pick two:
- you fuck them li…
Consider Cache in the mirror for a long time, while removing the final bits of makeup. That might have been the last topic I'd ever expect zir to bring up.
But it - just may be - brilliant. I turn around to face zir, looking like my beautiful tra…
I do remember that. "Except I'm not sure I want that kind of frenzy anymore. I thought that way once, but it's become too easy to drive them to things like anger, fear, violence or sex... Do they eat it up? Sure. Can't get enough of it. But is…
"Of course I'm unsatisfied, that goes without saying. But it's hard to define. Sometimes I think it's an altitude problem. I can adjust for different altitudes by working on more than one level at once. Case in point: Sex IS freedom, so that's p…
"Cash" is something they had in the old days of the lux civs. I've never seen it and I don't really understand how it worked, but apparently every buddy had so much lux eternal back in those days, they couldn't keep track of who owned all the things…
