  • It's an innocent enough question. Like I'm going to forget about Iso in the couple of hours I have to play speedball. Maybe, up against Power. "Take the most bored. And alone. You've ever been." "Imagine also, you're paralyzed. That's what it's lik…
  • Yeah, I wouldn't wish Iso on Mark. Honestly the thought fills me with a strange panic I can't justify. I want to reach out and touch him, reassure him that I'd never fail him like that. But I don't. Doesn't feel right. "We're not ready."
  • "You have a funny way of showing your favor, Vyvyan. Did you toast to yourself for being such a ruthless, profit-oriented rebel when it was all set in motion?" I slide down on the chaise and toss my legs over the far arm, staring at the ceiling. "W…
  • I chuckle a little for both Mark and Zola. "Whatever you say." I respond with skepticism, looking at Mark, saying it more for Zola. Stomm, but it feels good to talk. I bounce on my heels, restless. "Who is it? We're scrimmaging against."
  • Hey, it's my team! I smile at them. "Jace! Guys!" It doesn't come out lively like I want it to. I open my arms and hug Zola. I'm still not happy with her, but I want to feel her warm body against mine, and even if it's drokked up, I missed her. I …
  • "Got it." I put my uniform and towel aside where they won't get wet and get to it. I can feel this stomm getting stickier, I want it gone even if Tek is here. And whoever might be in the cubes to my right and left. My mind wanders back to Gwen, an…
  • I'm slow to take the suit and towel from him, letting him explain fully. Might just be a way to drokk with me before hitting me again. When he's done I nod, once, and head for the chemical shower. "I guess that..makes me unique." I quip as I move t…
  • I groan, coming to, feeling chilled and soggy. I rub at my eyes - I'm glad I left them open but drokk they are not happy with me. I try to straighten up on reflex and knock into the ceiling of the iso cube. For a few ugly seconds I need to cough out…
  • I'm on the other side of the Lock, in the real Med Bay, with Doctor Vought, dressed in some soft sweatpants and a sweater. We've made a breakthrough together, and I'm using my clumsy voice to identify things in the bay. Many of those things he broug…
  • Choosing Dissipate and Short Rest.
  • I try to let Gwen in, let it happen. I move into a really present frame of mind, trying to experience this fully. What is this? Is it sex? I feel cold and hot all at once. I'm used to feeling unfamiliar in my own body, but this.. Rolling Dark: (Rol…
  • The first time I had pris para was a sort of private moment between my second, Teovon and myself. I'd just had a rotten breakup with a joyfriend, and we just talked it all out, drinking age or not. It annoys me that Vyvyan is so ready to ignore Cici…
  • How come I can see Gwen when nobody else has? "There's not much to learn about me, but..yeah..let's do that.."
  • The worst thing that could happen right now is probably my life signs shifting enough that someone checks on me. Holding Steady; (Rolled: 2d6-1. Rolls: 6, 4. Total: 9) Marking XP (4)
  • "I could do that. Even if it's different, I'd like to touch you. The Corps..I don't know, I could fight them but that's just digging a hole." I'd love to say I didn't care about what the Corps could do to me but those stun sticks are not fun, and ne…
  • I will give her two, please and thank you. I can't move out of the way..the numbness is uncomfortable, but sort of interesting in the same way that sitting next to the pipes in class is for me. I relax. "Um, sure.." I take a little time to gather …
  • Manipulating; (Rolled: 2d6-1. Rolls: 3, 1. Total: 3)
  • "Gwen! Please don't leave me here!" That's more important. I want out, but to be left behind like this, right now, it would hurt. The paralysis of the iso gel hugs me tight while every nervous signal to struggle pings off of nothing. "Please..I'll …
  • I look at her. Briefly, I panic; she's going to leave me here in iso if I don't tell her what she wants to hear! But she is dead..her body is gone. She's got nothing left for them to threaten or take away, and it hasn't made her free. "I see you, G…
  • She doesn't know. The chill I feel..some of it isn't external. How do I say it? 'I can break the iso,' she says..my heart jolts at the words. "You've been gone for a couple of months. Gwen.." I don't know if I can do it, tell her that she's dead. "…
  • If I'm hallucinating her..it's still better than waiting a full 24 hours to the next simulated class. Would my hallucination try to conform to stuff like the gel moving? I don't know, but I bet Aidan would love the question. He's kind of weird. "Ye…
  • I focus on her, however she happens to be in the cube with me. My eyes go through a couple different attempts to make her less blurry. "Gwen Tasker." I went to her funeral, not sure what I was expecting. It didn't give me any peace or insight into…
  • The neural interface even lets me count the seconds, if I feel like it. At first I want to just ignore the trainings, resist everything, but...without motion, without being able to turn my head.. Just thinking about the ship and my pod and Zola an…
  • "What were you even trying to do with that? Remote-slave the ship? All you did was cost us a humble estimate in networking hardware." And set me up for a few doctor's appointments, but Vyvyan doesn't need to hear that from me. I could rise to xir ba…
  • I can just hear the reactions people would have now - 'Robynne Archebelloch is so vain xie watches xir own security footage as 'research.'' "That must be terrible for them, if only they could have made better decisions..Tell you what, they can be a…
  • I click my tongue in disgust. Really, Vyvyan. Then xie laughs at me. At first I think it's because of my sensitivity, but then..well. It's because of my insensitivity. There I am in the holo pacing and planning out the material and presentational d…
  • "Oh no, just humble, clean living." I manage drily as I reach for my flute of pris para. I nod, satisfied enough at the admission that Terci is healing, and sip. I give Vyvan a look over the rim of my glass as xie speculates so confidently. I mea…
  • I've trapped myself. If I fight to get out it's like I'm admitting a lie I didn't commit. Plus, maybe Haladay's gotten his act together just to cover his worthlessness. If it gets Jace treated, that's worth it. If it gets Haladay stomm-canned, that…
  • Drokk, but hurts to fight the stun. I don't breathe for a lot of the rest of this trip. Too much work. Friends? I don't know, I care about some of them. But none of them will come see me here. Maybe I have half a friendship with Ashlee, half with …
  • They transitioned me to quarantine through iso. I don't love it, but drokk, maybe it'll be a relief. I'm ready to just go limp, but I push my body, the strength I've got left, to gasp out the words for Rys to hear. "Jace is..hooked up to nothing! N…
