Whatever is in that injection, it's giving you that weird taste on the roof of your mouth almost immediately. What does it compare to?
He shakes his head he pulls a needle pistol out of his pocket, something without much recoil. "Collateral damage,…
He takes your arm and presses the injector to it.
"Counter-grav booster and nanite muscle repair. Same stuff xie's on but a more concentrated dose." He says "Might do some damage, but it can't be helped. It should give you a short break from the gr…
rolling Dark +1 for Transgressive Magic. Hexing with Wither (pretty much want to make her inexplicably very ill.) Side effects to be determined since I'm still all Darkest Self.
(Rolled: 2d6+2. Rolls: 3, 1. Total: 6)
His mouth quirks in a sort of grim amusement at your words. He seems to be waiting for something as he looks at you. Something across his personal comm.
Apparantly it comes. He opens his hand, showing you a small device, a transmitter used for ele…
I hiss, wath the blood well up. Whether the hiss is at the cut or the sudden knowing about Gwen’s murder. The rush from the cut gets mixed up in the sudden rage at Lucas, and renewed anger at the adults, at my Mother.
With the power around me now …
I sit up with her, take her hand, lean in toward her, nuzzling her nose and cheek, before giving her a soft kiss.
“I just like the look on your face right after you nova.” I say, edge of my mouth curling up as I look into her eyes.“It’s completely…
Yeah, my resolve was already stretched thin, so the one-two of the kiss to my neck in just the right spot, then my ear, crumbles it completely. Gwen must be… helping.
“Missed you too.” I breathe into her lips, then meet her kiss, groaning as my ha…
Another tick up the list for Zola. I keep from growling, somehow.
My arms go around her again, tight, when she burrows into my shoulder. One hand cups the back of her neck, the other rubs her now bared lower back. I turn my nose into her short, so…
I’m a planner. I see how things fit together. That’s a part of the way the power works through me. It’s part of what I do. Things connect more than people think they do, and in unexpected ways.
The mention of Zola sends an angry spike through me.…
He looks annoyed. He glances furtively up at the corner of the room,just a shift of eyes, probably where one of the cameras are located, as if he’s trying to work out his options, or timing or something. Another step.
“There’s that,” he agrees. “B…
The news that Gwen is still in there somewhere... that she's going to be a part of this. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Weird? Aroused? How much difference is there between them? I'm not sure.
I lean forward into her hovering hands, shivering…
“Something like that.” I say as I close the space between us slowly. “I can do things, Tabitha. I can make things happen to people. There is… power around us. I can… I can shape it, make it stick. I can do it alone too, but…”
I’m in front of her n…
I pull my pants and underwear off at once and kick them towards my shirt and, now completely naked, look back at her.
"I'm going to show her, show them that they don't get to do this stomm to Pris, to me, to you, maybe to Gwen....to us, and get awa…
He takes a few steps further in, stalking. There's a look on his face.
"Don't think I don't see how you look at me, Quality," he growls. "Like I'm beneath you. Well... After the boss gets what xie wants out of your noggin, Xie will let me have the …
Her weight is gone. I'm left with ragged breathing and hot tear tracks down my cheeks. She tells me I'm not the enemy, but a moment there she assumed I was. The truth is worse really, that I'm just a stupid tool used to hurt the only people I can to…
Which of the two things did you finish, Robynne? You are interrupted for sure. The third time one of Vyvyan's thugs checks on you, the one from the ambulance, he actually steps into the room flipping off the forcefeild and speaks.
"Hey, Quality, …
I see the snap back to Tabitha and the betrayal on her face in quick succession and I cringe away, automatically and I actually let out a little yelp of surprise and fear when she pushes me onto my back.
Now… now I finally see some of my own anger…
Normally such a silly threat would have me raising a brow and smirking. Right now a ghost of a smile is the best I can do as I return her gaze, a squeeze in my chest.
“Tickle, huh?” it’s a rough whisper. My eyes escape theirs as I turn to face tha…
I curl a little, shrinking in on myself. Tabitha and Gwen already know I did something. I’m struggling with saying it, though.
“She... They didn’t make me do anything. I just did it. I chose to do it. I didn’t think about it, didn’t question it at…
I shake my head. "Stars, no, not that. I mean..." I pause again. Lower my voice more."I mean the corps, and what I do, and... and this whole.... this whole system. I... I used to think the Co... that the adults were doing the right thing. That they …
I bite my lip, hesitant. I just don't have the emotional energy to lie to her and conceal it. And I can't bear seeing her disappointment if I didn't hide it.
"I don't know if it's worth it, anymore. All this." I say. "Not after what happened to you…
She certainly does feel.... solid.
I chuckle when she laughs. I don't know if Tabitha is just sitting behind her eyes, watching... but then, what else would she be doing?
"She's right, you know, Tabitha. You really are super cute." I say that a bi…
I watch with wide eyes and open mouth as Gwen merges with Tabitha. As Tabitha lets herself be possessed. Drokking Void. All sorts of questions there.
Then Gwen/Tabitha… Gwenitha? Is hugging me hard and I’m returning it just as fiercly. It’s a craz…
I freeze, gaping at the apparition for a moment, my heart squeezing at her smile. She looks just as she did the last time I saw her.
After the moment of shock, I smile and go toward her into Bea’s room.
“Gwen… Holy Stars, Gwen… it's you.”
