December 5th – screen

Fox is washing off the blood from a plan that went a bit sideways.

But Mikiva doesn’t feel like waiting for answers.

“If you are coming in, at least shut the screen after yourself,” Fox sighed. Ignoring her, Mikiva stormed over to the tub. “I need to know what in the name of the Eleven happened yesterday. Av’ry told me to wait for you, but frankly, I think I have waited long enough. So, we are going to talk right now.” “I suppose that’s fair.” Fox shrugged. “But at least tell Av’ry to come in from the hall, I don’t think it is wise for me to shout this story to the whole bathhouse.” Mikiva cast a disapproving glance down at Fox’s nakedness, but she reluctantly waved Av’ry into the room anyway. Av’ry, in a testament to his good sense, entered awkwardly, eyes on the ground, and shielded with one hand. “Hi Fox.” He waved in her general direction with his free hand. “Don’t mind me, I’ll just be sitting over here, starring at the wall.” “Smart man.” Fox chuckled. “Was there anyone in any of the other baths?” “No, it looked clear,” he replied. “Alright. I guess now is as good a time to talk as any, then.”

Nor mine … I’ll be back later to read everyone’s!

The thin door shuddered like a CURTAIN of reeds. The noise rattled into his throbbing bones. He knew what it was, knew his body lay sore on his bed, yet he could not wake. Currents of anger swirled and snatched at him among gemstones floating soft as mushrooms and popping like bubbles. His heart began pounding. If he could get free of his dreams ... he reached. Gemlight dripped through his fingers, slid off Lara's hair as she fled him, spattered blood over blanched trees. Crumbled oak bark and ashes, heavy, wet hides and his father's voice abraded the film from his eyes just in time.He swung out of bed, shrugged into his clothes, climbed from the tree and The thin door shuddered like a curtain of reeds.

His body was crushed beneath a freight of soaked hides. Brother's Keeper A.C. Turek

Poor Constance just misses her husband 😢

Also, magic tech! Specifically, the numenspec device most citizens of Arx Lucis have installed in their head.

From #Charagma, my SFF dystopia where all people are marked saved or damned from birth.
As much as she hated to admit it, Allerton was right. And she’d hate for Elis to be annoyed at her. Glancing across the room to a blank section of the wall, she waved her hand in a wide arc; in response a telescreen flickered to life, displaying an ad for the latest Numenspec head implant. Swiping her palm left to right, she flipped through a few different channels—news, prayers, hymns, ads—searching for anything promising about a forgery ring being exposed in East St. Sanguine District, where Elis currently was. But there was nothing. Against her better judgment, Constance raised two fingers and tapped them three times against her right temple. At once, the sight of the room was swallowed up by a screen of light, visible only to her eyes. The time in the upper left corner of her vision read 7:34 pm. Focusing her gaze on the call menu, she searched until her husband’s face was centered and vibrant. “Call Elis,” she said aloud. Patterns of light danced around the edges of her sight, indicating that the call was trying to go through. After a few moments, though, they stopped dancing, and Elis’s face turned dark. Call rejected. She knew it didn’t mean anything personal. She knew he must be busy with something important. But the rejection still stung, nevertheless. Hot tears sprang into her eyes again, blurring the Numenspec’s display.

Rory raced Esme across the #vespertine coated fields approaching night, which came a lot faster in the game than was really helpful. He had to reach the village before the Sun set and stop the impending vampiric transformation.

But he was slow, so very slow, and sunset so very, very fast.

1. Presumably because mages, and indeed most users of magic, had a rather tenuous relationship with aging. A mage could be a thousand years old and look no different than they did in their spry low-hundreds. Likewise, they could have only recently have passed their apprenticeship and already look as ancient as a corpse that had become personal friends with generations of spiders. Witches could look old and wizened from a young age, sporting the expected warts, hooked noses and passing familiarity with well-cared for teeth, or could look like a siren on the waves, ready to seduce sailors. Warlocks preferred to hide themselves in deep, dark hoods, trying to do their very best to avoid sunlight like the most ardent vampire, giving them waxy, pale complexions. Safe to say, when asked by a mage or a witch how old you think they are, best play it safe and use a margin of error in the hundreds.

A new set of outfits called to Rory in the game store, beautiful and #chic, but he couldn’t use any of them for Esme. Not for a witch. Black. Very, very black with the ubiquitous tall, pointed hat. That was what Esme wore. And sturdy boots.

Pithea, however, would look amazing!

There was nothing #chic about the clothing worn by Dylan’s pilots. Nothing worth spending money on under the circumstances. They all looked like hobos, washing and caring for themselves as little as possible.

That had to change. They had to care. About themselves as much as anyone else.

McLellan He was slumped in his chair, almost asleep; tablet computer hanging loose in one hand when the Rec chimed. Its smug voice stirred him; “Captain McLellan, please report to med-bay for insurance screening.” Setting the tablet down on the arm of the chair, he stretched out before standing. He wobbled as a wave of dizziness passed. “Rec, do we have results in for the crew?” He scratched leisurely at his head and wiped away a little sweat gathered on his brow. “Yes Captain. All crew physiological and psychological testing is complete. Results are satisfactory.” He paused. “Satisfactory as in, no virus?” “Correct Captain. And within expected parameters given the extended duration of the mission.” McLellan nodded to himself. “So nobody’s going nuts. That’s good. Rec could you turn up the conditioning? It's still hot in here from earlier.” “Yes Captain.” Leaving the Bridge, he leisurely tapped the plaque. He stepped out into the relief of the cool, dimly lit corridor and turned for the elevator. With a tap, the lift started grinding its way up the decks. He winced as he felt a little indigestion annoy his chest

Farley doesn't know it, but he's tragically touch-starved, to the point that he's almost afraid of it. Caspen has different reasons for avoiding it. That's what makes it so fragile between them, they're both unsure of their own desires and boundaries, both afraid to push too far.

How does your character feel about physical touch?

Are they fans of a handshake, hug, pat on the back, etc?

Do they prefer to keep their distance?

Does it matter how close they are to the other person?

Her perch was worn & frail. With only a hint of shingle or tile remnants, neither shoe nor hand could find a decent grip to the slant. The slightest shift of her weight had the exposed beams bowing, threatening a drop that promised a significant headache.
