The opportunity to work with these traditional, natural materials is a rare pleasure for me. It's a fun challenge that I find engrossing. I've made a few glider foils before, and my first 'kite' was a ring-skimmer, meant to ply the resistance offer…

"Sure." I let my arm go slack at my side. "I didn't laugh." Neither did Mark or Pris or Ourania. I rub my scalp, pushing my soft, buzzed hair around. It wasn't funny. "Takes something funny for that."
-
"Are you ready?" My fingers rest on the door, inactive. She seems nervous. Returning to class is a thing I could take or leave right now, but it seems like what a valued member of the community would do. Plus, I don't want to look like I'm running …

"Good." What fills up everyone around me? What makes me so empty? People don't tell me those things. Usually I have to guess; I've learned not to ask. It was very interesting, seeing what was inside of Ashlee. I relax, my shoulders shift back down.…
-
"Ah." I'm not sure why I asked or what my chest is tightening for. I take a deep breath and let it out slowly through my nose. "So I shouldn't expect you. To talk to me again." I lean in naturally, focused on Ashlee's face. The question is in my fa…

She's trying to be fearless for me. The corner of my mouth tugs to the side. "Or if you fear being punished." I follow Ashlee out and walk in step with her. I expect Olivar to be stupid. The hallways are meant to be entirely uniform, but age has g…

"That's fine. Rys sent me." Zola hasn't been as watchful as she could be. Ourania would report it, so I will report it. Ashlee has a tense posture. Halted. I step out of her way. "Demerits are serious. Demerits don't matter. Who gets to say one, or…
-
No one else here. That's good. "Are you ready?" I don't reach out or motion to the door or anything like that. I remember Ashlee talking about how she doesn't fit in this place. Feels disconnected. Has a problem with almost everyone. I think it wou…
-
I nod to Rys, and still standing I tap out a couple things on my Navi. "We could talk about letters. Tie that tradition..to Beacon Day." Then I tap my fingers on the desk twice. "Be back." I head into the hallway. I'm not on a mission; it doesn't …

"I can't really get any work done since I've given Terci the day off, anyhow. She's the one who holds onto my plans. Let's fly some kites." I smile and tuck the folio away, leading us onward to the wide-open park where all of the action is suppose…

There are places to fall, in this indoor world, that are lethal. A long drop, consistent gravity. That's how it is in the recycling plant bay. Four levels of tanks and filters and brewers. That's how Gwen died. There are a lot of conflicting rum…

"Well.." I look away in mock embarrassment, then back. "I do try to respect your autonomy. I'm not dom of anything just yet." While Allevard unloads some of his worries, I reach up and pluck an unlucky leaf from a branch above, inspecting its color…
-
I turn towards the noise that Allevard is making and end my dictation with a quick sing-songing "Pardi, Makynne, I'll comm again." My comm is slid back into a pocket as I move to offer Captain King my full attention. "Allevard. Which one in partic…

I've eaten up some distance into one of the plazas that beautifies this area. My pace started fast but I've since slowed to admire the trees planted between symmetrical installations of marble and glass. I'm dictating a missive to my younger sibli…

Mi Sun was basically neutral on Olivar until he was with her brother; now she's moved into genuine dislike. She hasn't been trying to keep Olivar off of anyone's back, though. Probably doesn't want to look jealous or angry or too close to her sibl…
-
"Three people writing one letter?" I go over the material that matches with the name Virginia. There's the letter and some background, which I read lightly. "Ah. She was twelve. Seventh school period." I know, when everything was blood (light) …
-
I read what shows up in my Navi feed, but before I can type out a reply to Priscilla it's time for group work. Mi Sun wants to shut me out physically, which is a stupid thing to try and do. I pull her desk out of the way of mine, her included. I …

Ourania I need your snooping in the Dark.

Highlighting Mark's Cold so he can anti-flirt with people.

I said what I needed, so this is fine. "Mm." I sit back down without a fight.

Tabitha has 2 on everybody. I want to see Ashlee's psychic powered Volatility.
-
Ashlee's terribly kind to these people, forgiving them. Of course, we can't know if they did or didn't. Then Olivar opens his mouth. Why couldn't Malcolm just keep talking? I stand up. "I think the Reed family. They were rewarded. Maybe for b…

"Just to prise the metaphor apart for you, I mean to say that it's a lethal disaster." I show Bai my teeth in return, brightly and with muted humor. Back to reclining, I add a few textual items to my personal slate. I am in fact furious, but I mus…
-
Bai points the higher capability of producing an alternative at me, and I'm silenced. I'm worried, in fact, that she may cry. I sink back into the seat cushions and return to my tea. She was coming at me with an entreaty and not a full position o…
-
I snort, more pleased than before, but not entirely satisfied. "That's a much more focused proposition. I owe Lord Kaluga a measure of payback, and of course I'd prefer the Mayaran system remain alive and beautiful. I'm interested in your plans for …
-
I hug a knee against my chest somewhat crudely and give Bai my full attention, 'completely private' being a very loaded phrase in our usual level of company. As Bai reveals herself as a rebel, I keep my focus staked upon her while balancing my fami…

Instructor Malcolm drones on and on. That's fine, it means everyone else shuts up. The heat from the pipes makes my skin feel clammy and dry at once. B1 was offered to me a few weeks ago; I said no. Why change it? If things went the way Ioanna …
-
I claim the loveseat and arrange myself on it in a careful balance of politeness and comfortable posture. "Why thank you, Lady Bai. It's been more trying than I recall." I exchange my cane for the tea when her servant approaches me, giving Bai a …

"Allevard." I correct myself and smile softly. Although I'm sure this meeting will be serious, I have hopes that it won't be as exhausting as the noble functions I've been to. I also have hopes for a good chaise - in this gravity I can hardly go t…
