  • [Taban Mei] Ugly? I'm shaking my head. Monstrous? Never. My eyebrows pull together in a small frown. Her cyber augments. If she didn't have it, she'd be bedridden or worse. It's as part of her as her stubborn streak. My breath catches when she say…
  • [Taban Mei] I look to her, hopeful, searching. "Then... what?" My hand squeezes hers. "Are you... seeing someone?" She doesn't sound happy, and I run my other hand back, tucking some hair behind my ear. I don't care, I scoot my butt closer to the e…
  • [Taban Mei] "Oh, Ksenia..." and I lick my lips and lean very slightly forward. I am ready for her, one leg unfolds a few tens of degrees, arching my foot in delicious anticipation. I see real true desire in her eyes for the first time, and this, I …
  • [Taban Mei] She tugs at my heart. My eyes don't leave her face. But she calls me Mei. I feel a little scared, but I don't know quite of what. I want her to look a me. "I was terrified I'd lose you, too. That's why I almost lost it," My eyes are wat…
  • [Taban Mei] I've still got my feet dangling over the edge of the bunk and for a half second I imagine her coming up a different way. I'm sure my pupils are large and I feel a tingle. I laugh, it's a funny story. "It's hard to imagine my badass Kse…
  • [Taban Mei] When people say they're good, it usually means they don't want to talk about it and are just spreading some mindless social butter. Stay with something safe, then. "I, uh, I'm just thinking about the mission." A little self-conscious e…
  • [Taban Mei] I'm thinking about Gaumata. Ze's dead. It's your fault ze is dead, Mei. Any elation or satisfaction at the mission completed is underscored by zir death and the death of Big Brother. It seems almost a waste, but that damned transmitter …
  • [Thirds] Cockblocked. I squint a little. Get up, look casual. Fix my zipper. "Lucky bottlecap. Let's get another beer? Always make another." Cheeky grin.
  • [Taban Mei] I'm no xenobotanist, but I know a few things. Dark dark purple leaves tells me about the sun, maybe suns for this world. Most of the leaves I can see appear to be extremes- either large, the size of my two hands spread wide, or curly an…
  • [Thirds] I turn that over in my head. Probably a little longer than it needs to take. Let a barter lie to get Sun out from Hugo? Or take a barter from Hugo for Monroe? I get up, brush some dust off my hands. There's a nice stash here. Two cans of…
  • [Thirds] Who the fuck's Grome? This window open without making noise? I wonder who they after. Rue? Matilly? Cinch? I look over my shoulder. Anybody watching me?
  • [Thirds] I put my hand on hers. "Yeah." I don't feel great about this. Fucking Hugo. Do people kiss again after they do it? They might. I nod at the shelves, shrug. "I figure this stash'll get cleared out. Before you get back to haul it." The ghos…
  • [Taban Mei] I'm eight. I'm walking down the corridor in between classes. This semester is at a station in a Lagrange point. I'm in white. Everything's white, clean. There's a broken lift, so I have to take a different route. I'm skipping, humm…
  • [Taban Mei] Am I dead?
  • [Taban Mei] Where am I?
  • [Taban Mei] What happened?
  • [Thirds] Well, I'll go listen at that window, then. Peek through. If I can easy hop back up, I'll slip down. I got a feeling. Why lock yourself inna basement? Doubt it's a love-in.
  • [Thirds] I kinda don't want that either. "Good reasons to owe someone." But I look down, rub my fingers together nervously. "But no person's a thing, right?" I look up. uncertain. I don't know Hugo. I don't like him. "I wonder what'd set you even.…
  • [Taban Mei] What's a voryani? More singing. Hold me. It's nice to be safe.
  • [Taban Mei] Warm. Tired. Hurt. Sleep.
  • [OOC: Crap.] 2+5 = 7, with what, four 1s of trouble? Enjoy!

  • [Taban Mei] "Gaumata! Give them some imagery, sonar, thermal, UV, I don't care! I'm tired of this thing frakking with our eyes!" I call over comms, straining. We need the truth to be able to overcome. I feel words on my skin and hear them with my …
  • [Taban Mei] No no no no, the words, no. Get the barrier back up! I don't even know what I look like, what I'm doing, I'm focused on protecting everyone. I feel I'm on my knees with the weight of the burden and the pressure of the words. My hands,…
  • [Taban Mei] "Shit," I say. Bit it's not a shit of fear, or worry. It's more a shit of frustration and disappointment. That's one of the oldest tricks in the book, Mei, and you fell for it. But no time to self-deprecate, get that psi block around …
  • [Taban Mei] Okay, that's a 6+7 = 13.

  • [Mei] Bravery - 1d6 - Show your backbbone, Mei. Security - 1d8 - You're the shield, Mei. Alien-Enhanced Psionic - 1d8 - You're the sword, Mei. Ksenia Cribbage - 3d8 -Stop kidding yourself, Mei. You don't just look up to her. You're in love, Mei. …
  • [Taban Mei] I say evenly, almost detached. "Sanchez, if that entity doesn't stop, lethal force is authorized." I'm preparing my psi for whatever will happen. I'm tensed for a fight. I bite back a command, remembering I can't give her orders. "Ms. …
