Rolling AoF: (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 4, 1. Total: 6)

I jolt up, away from Sierra and our little moment. Lord, how do I still have adrenaline left in my body to spend? "Sheetfire!" What about Missed's bike? Fuggit, we'll get it on the rig one way or t'other, I point Missed towards Beckett. "Missed, we…

"We win by controllin' valuable contraband and leveragin' it to corrode the positions of those with power over us. Our goal is to be free of that power." It's a very long, very difficult, very costly game. "We should be gettin' ready to move. Have …

"Just like I'm not bounded entirely by my body, DVFP is not bounded entirely by its walls. Things and people move in and out. Data moves in and out. Images, sounds. We're making our first moves on the larger board. I'll call this game Contraband and…
-
Oh. Well. Er..I expected a little more panic and the usual eager curiosity I get from Sierra, always questions. The wariness of a wounded girl. Not the interests of an experienced woman. Well, I asked for it. "Gloriana is the sub-warden. So DVFP i…

"The same way I could do it, through near-field and subordinated network mesh resonance. Our skin is not the final boundary of 'us'." I prop myself against the truck and prop my crutches against me to touch my fingertips together in front of me and…
-
I consider Sierra's words, nod. "She had a connection to Parcher. They may have simply been curious."
-
It may take a lot of internal deliberation on KikiLala's part to decide which wish of knowledge to grant me. Behind me, I know that I am hearing a cough. Like I am moving a mannequin, I straighten myself and turn, finishing the turn before adjustin…
-
That is a very good, very relevant question that I am quite possibly too exhausted to answer right now. "Find out what you can about the life of a courier named Juice. Be very cautious. Or. Tell me what you can about why Gloriana backed Parcher."
-
"A voluntary clinic for cyborgs, candidates for cybernetic installations, and seekers of mesh-enhanced psychotherapy." It is also a front for my gathering information on Feed resources in DVFP and consolidating more of them under my thumb, to later…
-
"Hmm. I can account for your sustenance, but I'll need things from you, from time to time. Everyone who is in my operation does their part, KikiLala. According to their ability."
-
I sink my perception deeper into the feed. "Tell me your names. Tell me if you're well, if you need anything." I suppose if my body were in this state..I'd avoid it.
-
I nudge her hand back to herself. "No, I'm the Weaver. Be good, I have some things to do." I finish my water and head into the trailer to check on the Twins. I'm sure nobody else is qualified (yet) or brave enough (yet) to tend to them much. The cr…
-
"As far as I know Rothschild is not on anythin', so let her sleep as much as you can. Beckett might be able to give you some advice about shifting, too." What with Beckett bein' such a solid driver. Anythin' to lighten Roth's load a little. "Wish I …
-
When Beckett pulls us over I'm vaguely rested compared to most of us. I've popped 2-3 nosebleeds since we left Cyberville, only failed to hide one of them. The sun is up but I have a bit of a shiver. After a minute of thinkin' quietly in the brightn…
-
So many things to figure out later. I witness as Missed, Reese and Beckett take frugal shots at the biggest risks to our escape. I wonder how many fewer there would be if I'd done this six months ago. Probably not many, truth be told. I nearly slee…
-
"Reese, if you an' Missed work together, a fireman's carry should get these twins out." I'm pocketing a few sensor leads and things desperately while nodding my assent to Rothschild - it's time to go. I'll wait for Missed to come back in while havi…
-
I nod in approval of Sierra's decision. The girl with the multifaceted eyes seemed relatively whole, even if she's been in dire need of better care. "She did?" I know that Sierra means Gloriana..and I know that Parcher had a direct line to Gloriana…
-
"There should be an external construct on his scalp, near the visual cortex, that's his first link to the Feed." I take off my hat and draw a line on my own scalp about where it needs to be to function. "I don't think it'll stop his failsafes, but w…
-
I frown at Missed's news. Ugh, it's possible there's noone left to help. "He was the type to do that. If anyone seems lucid, I still want 'em to have a chance, but I hear you." Ah, she did it. I smile, but stop when I realize my teeth must be pink.…
-
"Glad I did it.. anyway, now's your chance. Grab things. Convince people to leave if they're not rarin' to go. You don' look like a queasy vampire. Works bettah comin' from you." I lean on Sierra to say all this before tiltin' myself toward the foye…
-
My eyes cast about the room, confused. How did I get in here? I suppose Parcher really wanted to get right to work dicin' me up, what with that scalpel. I lean back against the wall and pull a handkerchief out of my jacket to cough into. It blossoms…
-
The triumph of it is..really quite dull. I have to hold my feelin's to the side or I'll lose. It takes discipline to push his essence out of himself and not let it back in. To turn his interface against his metal-weakened body. It feels like a surg…

I'll take; 1 Harm from engaging with the move 1 Secret from Parcher 2 more Harm from ripping into Parcher for 4

"The people I keep close to me are beautiful and deserving. You're the one who's pitiful - no matter what you do to yourself it leaves you empty, doesn't it? So you do to others, and the result is the same, but there are so many others and only one …

"Every Fafnir has his Siegfried." I can't do this on uppity bravado alone, though. Plucking one worm off my persona as it tries to burrow away, I pull it apart, lookin' at its greasy code. Can't really stack software like this right now, because I …
-
The sense of laughter bubbles through my mind. I see a way through to him on our own (I'll warrant) mutual turf. "Submission's not in my nature. I'll show you what I contribute to myself more personally. Get ready to earn it." I'm not, despite what…

Well, it's now or never, I have to defend myself. "Sierra.." I try to work my voice, but it's uncannily difficult right now, like tryin' to button up a shirt with gloves on. I may be losing my balance. It would be damn embarrassin' to fall in front…
