I ride in, August on my pillion seat, eye kept out for Valentine on August's ride. My nose has leaked blood over my lip a little, but I still grin. "SeaTac! What a sight you are. You make that ship light up?" Serious face back on, I look for W…

"Bon's here, and you were smart to point him at her. She was riding Soundy's bike here and got her legs burnt in a scuffle with Tax Patrol but she's okay besides that." I tilt my head at the hitched sadness that is Soundy's bike right now. The en…

Of course Valentine can ride. I give zir a big smile, it's good news. "August's bike will do you real good." It's one of the most stable rides in the pack, after Laika's. August snaps back to herself and I listen close, not just because my ears …

I'm propped up over August, elbows banged around inside my padded jacket, 'standin'' on them and my knees and toes. I shove myself halfway up, stunned, doin' battle math in my head. 3 bikes plus 4 of us, minus one bike on the shore, minus two fing…

I don't reach out to August yet, while she's takin' mad on this guy. I know just the kind of cut he used on her, too, where you follow the movement of their arm down the blade and scrape fingers off the handle. It's a cut I would only use on someo…

"Ah!" What sound I make pops out of me at a higher tone than people hear from me usual-like. I rev it towards them and push-jump myself off the bike, still grasping the handlebars and trotting beside it. I stop the bike and it drags my feet a lit…

Bon lets me know about Zeus and she's eager to look into her injuries. I drive us there so Bon can peel off and do work. Zeus gets the briefest of looks from me - I need to keep myself dry and in the fight. When Bon's off my ride safe I smooth pa…

Arrows need to regroup, and I'm willing to let Lighthousers and Boaters make a little more music with each other for longer. If the Lighthousers go to ground against us, that's what Watauga is for. "Bon, you seen August?" Or it's a job for whatev…

Spending 3 Hold, plus one for Combat Driver since nobody's knocked or lured me off yet. ~2 on Leading an Advance ~1 on Covering Fire for my crew ~1 to kill Soakface

I drop my machete point-down into the soil and bring up my gun. I'll get the blade back or I won't. Soakface gets a ride-by shooting; don't want to be a still target, don't want to head directly toward or away from him.
-
Hm, I need to sharpen this blade again. Zeus sure is attached to that shotty. Well, stuff gets awful wet in a fight. I'll get back to that. Finishing my first ride-by, I spot that sniper, lonely and moist. Only sniper I like is Ace, 'cause sh…

My Arrows! I let rip a heady howl and open up my bike's throttle. I've let go of my sense for words; I'm a wide-eyed, face painted blood dream crying out for battle. Joining my own loud voice, my bike pushes more heat and light beneath us with a …
-
"Hmmm." Okay, spotting those suits should be easy. But hitting the lighthouse now? Six on a dozen. We could hit them and make some headway, maybe Chance has something nasty tucked away, but his crew comes along and can't (or just as like, won't …
-
"Yeah." I say to Grunge's thoughts on moving on quick. We should. I poke and pull with pliers, then close the engine case and try to get it ready to be towed. Chance mentions there's no boat. "Maybe we're early." A dozen rotters? Bloody hell.…

Bon's got my arms till Belka is here to help. I can tell she's tryin' real hard to put on a brave face, and I respect that. When she's standing more or less I watch her for shakes and sweats, rub her arms and back a little. "You're keeping it tog…
-
It's reflex, I send up my middle finger as we bail on that loud scene of fire and fake strength. I wave the crew into the shadow of those corrugated walls, away from windows, and park. I jump off quick, my bike on stand-by. "We got to get rig…
-
Aw, flood! Bon! That bike's engine sounds ugly. She needs to limp it to the lighthouse but she's losing speed. I slide right in front of her and sign ::Close-close::, let her bike into my slipstream. We need a clean break to meet with the gang,…

Barf. This place is gross. I was here just last year, before we made any real ties with SafeCo. Honestly, I was just riding to ride, alone, out to empty my head and let worries tumble out in the wind. I was taken over mad then, too, and the bloo…

I think keepin' Cool is the most important bit here, so rolling Act Under Fire, marking 4th XP; (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 1, 3. Total: 5)

All this wet-air copper taste makes me feel like I'm bloodletting already, like I'm howling already. I want to be where August is. I need to see her again, and I gotta fight the question, 'Why ain't I there already?' I give Belka a passing look, …
-
I'm putting on the last of my makeup, kohl like a dart-shaped mask around my eyes, some red on my forehead. When Chance finally rolls up, I ask her how my lipstick is doing. I think it's good but I want a second pair of eyes on it. Her hat is all…
-
I give Belka's shoulder a squeeze, wait for Grunge to finish. "Okay, good. S'good to have you both, and fair is fair. We gotta get Chance and plan this out just a little, then we ride early." "Gonna be a bit of a skill ride, too." I give Belka …
-
Unbelievable. My hands close into fists. "Belka, you have missed rides and skipped nights. You can't dig deeper on this?" But she's probably spent herself out partying here in SafeCo, huh? I break out the pound of coffee I've got while I give…
-
I give Belka her reassurance that Bon's right, like she even needs it. Breath comes out my nose tight when August's trouble finally hits Belka's brain. But her heart's still with us, and that counts. Some knot in my back eases, and I feel a littl…
-
"Somethin' important. Somethin' could go bad. Like earlier today when I was holding onto Sounder for dear life, I thought to myself 'if Belka had a hand in here we'd be outta this red.'" It's a lot like true, I always think of Belka when my arms …

There's a Speed-shaped blank in that room as far as my face and eyes are concerned. I nod to Grunge, though, and a couple other inside gang people. Don't really know how I feel about Grunge at the moment, she seems a good sort but I dunno if Belka…
