I lean back against the kitchen counter, propping myself up a little more easily than before, dip my cig out in a few drops of standing water in the sink. Sierra's hands are still shaking. I feel like I've jumped a bull myself, and take a matching d…

I chuckle and shake my head. "I'll take the couch, I suppose." It's a premature offer, but whatever. "Roth went to hustle with some traveling merchants. I really expected her back by now, though." With a command that takes less effort than a though…
-
"I can't help you. You should come back, talk to me about books, though." I feel her moods shift through her hand. She even changes her stance to keep up with the pressure..it's tempting to soften and let her recover more, and it's tempting to give…

"Shhh, don't despair, this only means you have to grow up, now. Breathe." I can feel her rabbit heart, racing under her discovery. "There aren't supposed to be people like me. But what about you? It's a wide world, gettin' wider." I pause, remember…
-
"Good, now then.." I clasp my hand around hers, gently, not so she can't pull away. Her skin is petal-soft in my damaged hand. She's brave enough to touch me, so let's discover if she's brave enough for more. "Don't panic." I strum into her mind. "…

I shake my head a little as I smoke and read..I glance up into Sierra's sincere face. Gloriana. That's where she's from and how she can petition four polls in under a minute. I've heard how House higher-ups treat their live-ins..this seems excessive…

She looks at my hand. I feel for a moment like I've made a terrible mistake, opened myself up to some sort of attack. My gut tells my addled mind that there's no hostility. I'm tired and paranoid and irritated. But the threat of outside involvement …

"Tsk. Gettin' ahead of things. Equipment, includin' software, cameras, yes even satellites.. and expert labor." Well that defines her level of knowledge, more or less. Not bad, not impossible to work with. "Out in the wider world, there's so much d…

I'm still focused on Sierra, and a hand drifts to where my jacket pocket would hold my cigarettes at the ready..if I had them. Damn. "Reese, would you be a peach and throw me my cigs? You can take one as tribute if you like." "You're probably right…
-
"Hide from it?" My face sinks under the weight of incredulity. From what I can tell, the Feed cuts people off from their somatic nervous systems on her behalf, and really hiding from it's a challenge I haven't even engaged with myself. Ah. I'm answe…

Sheetfire. I 'bout drop my 'driver. Quickly I look over the faces comin' in..Beckett, Reese..Sierra. Right here in my place, while I'm handlin' heavy contraband. "What's this?" I say, tossing a towel over the antenna as quickly and neatly as I can,…

When I get back from instructin' Missed, I check my brews and clean and prep some equipment for the cola whiskey that I think I'm goin' to start up tomorrow. I need to keep the vessels I've got workin' for me and get a rotation goin'. Why am I stil…

I can't look for too long, so I wait for her by the door. My face feels hot on one side, and when I hold a hand to it blood pools there, then evaporates like steam. There's the familiar pressure of the eyepatch I used to wear on me now. I see. In t…

First and last. It took me a while to get the hang of love, really dig into it. I had to get past the confused heart-ripping of teenage lust and the blunt, casual exploitation of the kind of sex you can pick up at strange parties. Coarse flings with…

Whenever I come across some new entry to this place, at the first scratch beneath the surface, I can feel how keenly they suffer the loss of their memory. Even the most simple or debased inmate displays some symptom of nostalgia for the self. It's e…

"Mmm, quite so." I let her go and let her take control. Let's fade to black here, yes. Claire's request is not entirely foreign to me..even with partners who were wired I would take the lead on a mesh. I'm going to let her in and guide her around,…
-
While she kisses away at me, I slide a hand up and down her exposed side, then sneak it down to clasp her thigh while I sigh in a breath. "It's both. Whenever we're close enough, long enough." I meet her mouth for a kiss. "It's a..kind of reflex."
-
Wow, usually I don't hear much of the nonsense that goes on in the other rooms. I might have to put on some noise. After some future score I'm gonna have to pay the management to let us have a full bathtub and just soak. Maybe a bubble bath or see …

"I'll do what I can for you, Roth." Just like Ace needs the arena, I suppose Roth needs to move. I think I know my tack for this treatment, I just need to feel it out a little more to be sure. Rothschild is strung with frayed bravery. "I'm likin' ou…
-
"Good, glad you think so, I'll need the advice. Not really worked with 'a great hitter' before." Her endorsement is reassurin', but I really haven't. Slick drivers, clever thieves, teams of technicians, academics, doctors, nurses, hackers, moonshine…
-
"Well, don't be in a rush.." I plant a hand on a nearby wall to support myself as I lean over her and focus on our kiss. I give her time. "The ginger beer won't be beer for another couple days. Same with the vinegar, though it looks promisin'. I'm …

"MmHmm, and for Missed, who might get a passel of scorch if I cause trouble and someone connects her to me. But mostly you, miss Jeep Adventure." I give her a little smirk. "More's to it, a 'whammy' is not a guarantee, and people aren't 100% ignora…

It is what it is - I lose the jingle. I'm not up for trouble among all these well fed fighters. "Understandable." I let him walk us out, and at the gate I comment, "I'd tell you my name but I'm sure you'd soon forget it. Same with my companion here…
-
"Restricted? My, I wouldn't have come 'round if I'd known." Now I reveal the bribe, flippin' out two fingers between which those bills are squeezed. His body should be blockin' the view from everyone doin' PT around us. "Just people watchin', sir. L…

Next time I'll have to have Rothschild stay behind when I need to make a trip to the barracks. I suck in a frustrated breath and turn to face the guard who's giving her the hairy eyeball, pulling a small folded wad of Depot Dollars into my hand but …

Possessively, I rest an arm over the small of Rothschild's back, hookin' the handle of my right crutch in my small fingers and touchin' her with my thumb and pointer finger. Casually, I'm shieldin' her from view with my taller self, letting my left …
-
"Hah, sure, I'll see you in four, gives you time to eat somethin' and set up." Finally I'm done with the cig she gave me, I twist out the ember in a crook of fence wires bent together and flick away the rest. Then I make my way back to Roth and out…
-
It's not me, either. "Ah." My face falls a bit, trying to think of somethin'. Nope. "No, that's it. I don't want to lose my favorite student." Of course, she's my only student, but I missed teachin'.
-
"I've got one last angle I can try to work on my side. I haven't been asking you to be the hero in this." I take another conversational drag myself. "It isn't us that's fugged, Missed. We're just strugglin' in one fugged up situation after another."…
