Well, everyone, same as it ever was. The hunt is on. I've been a very, very bad, bad girl. But I'm very good at making myself unavailable to the justice of the houses..better than ever. People try to find me, but.. After all the fallout and scr…

A whole team on top of the twelve in the crowd. Must be a lot of room in that boat or these null-men scattered around are gettin' left to dangle. There's still a lot of people left in the arena, both on the ground and in the upper decks. I feel my …

I can feel the little bristles of Cinch's remote start for her car over the Feed, it's a good omen, even while some panicked fugger steps on me. Bless Roth, I'd be fugged without her. Ahh, I see what that is. We're still connected via resonance wit…
-
I reach out to Roth as she catches up to me, glad that she's just this void in people's senses that they jostle around. It looks conspicuous to me, but it's probably natural as breathin' to the people around us. "We've got to find Missed and get som…

Well, shit. Another gunship. One I won't have the blessed opportunity to miss seein'. Gotta run through my options here.. Cinch is here. With luck her ride is close. Somehow she and Mimi and two other people could, with a miracle, drive out of here…

I've pushed my Feed connection up against the circumstances here as hard as I can. I can get another antenna; might take another year. Might take less. Might not matter. I pull off the leads between me and the antenna and hustle my own self, pushin'…

Fuggin'.. jet boots?? When I cast that choice against the sheer risk of comin' here to collect her girl in the middle of all of this, it looks..sensible. Game for the task. "I see you, Roth. I can't explain it, but it's happened before.." And I wou…

Hopefully my team doesn't do anythin' silly with their ability to 'see'..not yet at least. These null-men are castin' a net. What they aren't doin' is protectin' each other. Still, with the right spec, they're not fools for thinkin' they don't have …

I'm grateful to have done some 'workshoppin'' with KikiLala on this whole maneuver, since it puts pressure on Bee Bee and my team. I wanted to be prepared to relieve and monitor that pressure, even while I'm here monitoring Feed scans in real time, …

There's some concern, yes, but right now I'm all business. I hurry to finish makin' the antenna connections, take off my hat and start attachin' the magnetic leads I've installed in the antenna controls to the beads perched on my scalp. I figure if…

I wait while Mimi says her piece. Afterwards I nod, even chuckle at the mood-lightening comments. "If it makes you feel any better, Mimi, Parcher died real ugly and I'm not even healed from it myself. I cooked you up pretty raw, and I haven't forgot…
-
Well, if now's the arrival of a sudden break and I'm tense as hell from everythin' goin' on anyway..I fish around inside of my jacket and find a cigarette to bring to light while Cinch and Mimi work their way up here. "Security's probably got their…
-
"'If you want something done, find someone who's busy.'" I wave a hand upward to invite them, then point out the stairs, not that either of them need it.
-
"That makes it nice and clear." I call over a balcony. I suppose if Mimi whips out a gun at me I can duck back, maybe even in time to keep my sweet face. "Cinch, what is it you need? I'm elbows deep in wire right now." I wave some wires before me to…
-
I overhear the exchange between Roth and Cinch and sidle on closer to it, waiting for Roth's reaction. While I might have burned out my loathing of Mimi, the loss of feeling is likely not mutual. But maybe Cinch is askin' for Cinch's own purposes a…

My team and I, we got here pretty early, just when Sierra was settin' up, since that seemed like the first moment that there would be potential peril. I worked into the night after my strategy session with Sierra, tryin' to get a functionin' song-tr…
-
"He wants songs about unity and strength. Those aren't necessarily soothin'. Not on their own." Inside, old aspects of myself feel new and strange, like my memory of meetin' the inventor of the first dive-capable interface at a conference in House P…

"I think on the nose can work pretty well if it's done earnestly." I grin and lead her on into some of the more built-up areas, curious what we'll see. "I also wonder what sort of performance of Jump Into the Fire you'd put on, but I'm not sure it'…
-
Kissin' her back softly, I nod with understandin'. Sayin' it helps. I straighten a bit of her hair that probably doesn't need it and huff. "So you are. Bait, but also a messenger. Hmm, honestly it would be fun if you played some illegal songs. Alwa…
-
I stroke Sierra's hair and then slowly down her back and back again, making soft noises. "The things she's done aren't your fault. Her polluted mind fixates on the ownership she feels for you, but.." I pull back to look Sierra in the eyes. In these …

"Well, my first draft plan is to disable the programs hiding any operatives I discover from the Feed. That's small potatoes compared to revealing the DVFP's sub-warden herself, right in the middle of your show. I'm not saying your plan is impossible…
-
Reflectively, I smirk back at Sierra. "Pick your set for you, they'll pick up on it if you're trying to say something." I put on a few variations of thinking face, running through scenarios and resources. They end with a sigh. "Possibly but I'm goi…
-
I wonder if I would regret my choice here, if I knew. But still, I nod back, knowin' I can't risk some new period of grief right now. It's hard and cowardly at once. "I did. You can't be a properly cultured young woman without playing an instrument…
-
"I would do it all over again, if you're thinking that I would take any of it back. Perhaps I'm being oblique. You can choose yourself and still do for others, you know." I look down at Sierra, just as directly, as she stops me. "But..no regrets." I…
-
I pat her hand briefly and lead on with a soft laugh. "Governable. How ironic is that coming from me? But I do believe in self-governance, and the freedom afforded by self control. Autonomy." We walk into denser areas, overgrown columns and elegant…
-
I smile at Sierra as she pontificates. "I think that's the nature of an adult life, to build a more chosen self that one has control over." "That's the nature of gardening, too." I offer her my arm as an invitation to walk. "To always be managing t…
