Write Weds - Cordate Pt 1

Cordate Of Royal We

A Novel of Everyday Combat

By Juliet Riddle

[Ch. 01]

The smell of wet concrete was everywhere. Something about it brought up memories of a hot spring. Of a beach. Of Vizy and Ani. They were more than images. Feelings, smells and sounds were coupled with the memories triggered by the scent. It was oppressing. It was depressing. But I was remembering. That was a feat in itself. A simple thing that brought a weak smile to my lips. My eyes opened and I recalled instantly what struck me down. The streaking shine of the crowbar before impacting my head made me twitch.

Half of my face was covered in a crusted coagulated crimson, making a sick sucking sound as I lifted off the street floor. The instant throbbing in my skull made me want to lay back down. I fought it and looked to my objective. There was a note on the door.

Before standing I waited to regain some of my senses while wiping my face off with my handkerchief. The dawn was perfect, the sun was still low enough that there wasn't too much light to sear the back of my eyes, and not too early where I couldn't see. The lone lamp in the lot fought against the dawn to provide more light, but it was loosing. Similar to my small weak attempts to make a difference for my team against all of the best players. There was something more I had to be able to do.

The elite call it the Game. The insane call it War. The regulars call it Sand. It was an idea shared by wealthy and powerful people. In secret they collaborated, and piece by piece took over a metropolis as the foundation of the entertainment they were seeking. Implementing a structure that resembled several video games was the next step. The Investors placed the Scorekeepers in and rounded up the first teams a few years ago. Since it's first match, Sand has grown to have over 100 players each in teams of seven. Half were integrated into the justice system, as vigilantes. The other half of us are burglars.

Lawless, uncoordinated criminals. The evidence was on the door I was trying to break into a few hours earlier. On the note was scrawled: “Thx for the ez win again! -9” That's right. 9 was the one who attacked me. The Nippon had more skill than me, enough that she didn't bother drawing her wooden sword. Instead, she disarmed me and knocked me out with my own weapon.

A bitter taste filled my pallet. Which I responded to by ripping the paper from the door. That instant the damn thing fell from it's hinges making me flinch as it crashed inward. I crumpled up the note and threw it at the entryway for good measure.

It was time to get back home. I checked the pocket my phone should have been it. It was missing, meaning I couldn't immediately contact my team or look at the outcome of the match. I couldn't remember anything about the match. I rationalized that it must have been a three objective pickup. The unfortunate thing about my team, Royal We, was our handicap. There was four of us left. I had obviously gone solo to one of the objectives. What else could have happened was beyond me.

My Tag is Cordate. My dead ex, Visitor, gave it to me, because it means heart shaped, and as he said, it fits me because of my ass. That was him in a nutshell, a pig and an asshole. But he was damn good at what he did in this lifestyle before he was Banned. His Ban was one link in the chain of events that crippled Royal We down from a full top tier team to the four of us that were left.

When I had first joined several months prior I was still learning how to defend myself. How to be useful on the field. My ability didn't come quick enough and I suffered a concussion that put me in the hospital for a week. Something in Vizy and our best strategist, Anemone, broke. They retaliated, and Ani went too far, breaking the only real rule Sand has. My attacker died by her hands. Ani's Ban, sent Vizy over the edge, he pulled strings, called in favors and convinced several burglar teams to raid a facility. The Scorekeeper building showed a few dozen players secrets that no one was prepared for.

The raid barely made it into the first floor before teams turned on Royal We for misleading them. Moments later, the Scorekeepers agents, known as Peers, retrained the players. And Banned the leader.

With Vizy and Ani out, that left us with five. It wasn't long after I left the hospital that our tech guy, Crunch, was sent in from a coma. With a third of the players holding a grudge against us it was no surprise.

Since then, we've been hanging on. I'm not sure how, but similar to the luck of me finding my discarded crowbar in an alley a few blocks away, Royal We still had some strange luck left. Unfortunately the steel was bent.

The rest of the walk home included me trying to bend my crowbar back and a few stops as my head spun. I had no doubt that 9's attack damaged me again, I just hoped it wasn't as bad as the first concussion.

The sun had fully risen by the time I meandered back to Royal We's headquarters. When burglar teams are formed their first mission is to claim somewhere to live. I've been told there are different teirs the team can choose from that give you different living spaces. Before I joined, Visitor, Ani, and our hulk of a Russian, Elbo, shot for the gold. Their work put Royal We on the map from day one. The manor was a sight for sore eyes. In it I knew there were painkillers and soft things to lay my head on. My disappointed team would be inside as well.

Thankfully as I opened the one double door Elbo was the only one around to greet me.

“Quarda! I thought you had gone to hospital again! Good to see you back!” Elbo is 250 pounds of pure muscle accented with milky blue eyes and a dishwater buzz-cut. He's a head taller than me, and the friendliest team member left.

Some slur of a grin and grimace crossed my face as I pointed to the side of my head. My fading purple hair was cow-licked by the dried bronze that spilled on the asphalt.

I must have looked as bad as I felt because Russian words spat out of his mouth before asking, “Do you need doctor?”

Before I could tell Elbo 'no' Regency paused in a door frame to the foyer. Before words came out of his mouth my headache doubled. His British snobbishness is a force all it's own, “Tourn was ready to pull the plug if we found you in the ER, Cord.” Regency's hazel-green eyes meet the top of my head. His birdlike features are perfectly accompanied with a medium feathered hairstyle. He's a regal stubborn person who among our team has his eyes on the points closer than any of the rest of us.

I waved off Regency's words, “Where's th' fall'n doc?” My words were a mush of croaking syllables.

Elbo began to suggest a location before Tourniquet entered the foyer. Just the thought or smell of me had him ranting already, “-like this just can't happen anymore! How can we progress if this shit keeps happening? I swear to God-oh. Amazing, Cord. Look at your fucking head!” He tossed a hand out to reinforce his agitation. Tourniquet is Elbo's height; lean with enough tone to make a difference in fights. His verdant eyes glared as he ran a hand through his mess of straw colored hair, “So, who beat the damn points out of you? All of our hard fucking work down the drain-”

While Tourn blew his whistle I showed my bent crowbar to Elbo. Without a word, he took it and bent it back to almost straight. I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was. I smiled looking it over. The steel felt personalized to me, the small crook gave it a different feel. Then Tourn's words reached my scrambled brains, “Wai'. We won the roun'?” The words out of my mouth felt so heavy I almost couldn’t pronounce them.

“Fuck yes we did. And by the skin of our fucking teeth,” Tourniquet was so eloquent.

Elbo crossed his arms and nodded, “Quarda asked Elbo to give his all. So. Is just what I did.”

Regency just scoffed and wandered off to do something with crumpets or whatever it is British people do in the morning.

“Good,” I paused, “Wuh.. Any Oxy? Beyon' throbbin' I.. Uh..” I'd been lucid on my way home, but with all the dizzy spells I felt like I was fighting to keep away from the light at the end of the tunnel.

“Yeah, yes... Come to the damned study,” Tourn grumbled as he paced off.

“Is good you are back, Quarda. Viz would be happy. So I am also.”

“Thax big'uy,” I smiled.

I watched Elbo strut off toward the den that was converted into our fitness center.

The manor is a beautiful place. All earth tiles covered with red carpets. Sepia adornments frame the parchment colored walls and banisters. Upkeep of this place costs a lot, but even at the bottom of the ranks, Royal We was thriving. Sand is generous to it's players at the bottom line.

The Study had been converted into an amalgamation of a resting therapy room and an operating room. Generally it's where Tourn and Regency play cards or have heated debates. Other times it's where Elbo and I get patched up.

“Fuck's sake, it took you long enough,” Tourn replied to the Study door's low cry.

My tongue wouldn't lift to even grunt. So I slumped onto the plush leather sofa. Ensured I was comfortable while Tourn could still look at the lump on my head, I closed my eyes.

“I wish you would use the bed we had installed. You're the reason that beautiful couch is stained.”

I wished there was an off switch to his mouth. But he shoved a cup and a pill into my hands, so I should have been a little grateful.

“Even Elbo uses the damn bed. If a neanderthal can respect Italian leather I can't imagine why you can't.”

His ranting moved away and circled back as I took the pill. I couldn't remember the last time water had been so wonderful. My stomach reacted by informing me I was famished, something I didn't notice over my splitting headache. It would have to wait. Fatigue had made sleep top the to do list.

I drifted off, vaguely remembering Tourn cleaning my skull, mumbling remarks about brain damage and 9 while shining a goddamn flashlight in my eyes.

Tips for School as a System

With school time rolling around again (in about a month for us), we've decided it'd be a good idea to offer tips that help us to keep our grades up in school. Obviously every school and system is different, but these things definitely helped us last school year!

1. Before school even starts, we try to get gender neutral colored notebooks, as well as a variety of textures for pencils. The neutral colors may come in handy if a little fronts and has an issue with "gendered" things and the pencil textures help when dissociating. We've also recently been trying to decide a name to go by and pronouns to use, but since our host came out as nonbinary on our personal account for everyone to see, it seems like they chose for us. /lh Some suggestions would be your collective pronouns (aux pronouns if possible if you use neopronouns, as the school may not be accepting) and the collective name you use.

2. Try to get your schedule beforehand and try to familiarize yourself with your classes and where they are. If your school offers an open house, this could be a perfect opprutunity. Our school does this, but they also keep all the similar classes in the same hallways, which means if we know anything about where our classes were last year, we could figure out where our classes are based on subject. We also tend to have a second nature thing where we go to where our next class is naturally, which could be something others experience. We try to use this natural memory for remembering where classes are, and for our music classes because our rhythms are all the same.

3. We keep our phone in our laptop case with a sensory item, pencils, and other important things like led and earbuds. Things like notebooks, calculators, folders, etc. go into our big binder in case an alter fronts and doesn't know where our locker is/the combination but knows where our next class is (due to the reasons I previously said). This way we can keep what is definitely needed with us.

4. Speaking of supplies, we carry a waterbottle around with us. When we get too dissociated but can't go to the bathroom for cold water, we pour a little on our hands then rub them together to create the friction and an even bigger temperature difference. We also keep things like a rubber band on our wrist for the pain aspect mentioned in the dissociation help post as well as a sour candy in our locker/laptop case in case we need extra help and need to bring another sense back to help ground.

5. Most of our teachers allow(ed) us to use notes during quizzes and tests. Because they didn't see these notes, we took as many as we could and translated them into easier to read handwriting at home while filtering out what was and wasn't needed. Especially in things like our science and math subjects, we included examples of what to do and common mistakes that were made.

6. However not all our teachers allowed us to do that. Instead, we'd still take all the notes we could and translate them, but we'd spend hours reviewing them and hope that for quizzes and tests, the knowledge becomes like a second nature. Luckily we only had two classes like that: Choir (we have an alter specifically for those tests who somehow knows all our music) and Spanish (which we already know quite a bit of but aren't fluent in, so it's not as bad).

7. Unfortunately, triggers at school do exist. We try to avoid them as much as we can, but that's not always possible, especially in classes like English and history where triggering things are a part of everday conversations. To combat this, we've decided that if we know about the lesson plan in advance (most of our teachers tell us at the beginning of the week), we can try to plan a switch for alters more capable of handling it. It doesn't always work, especially since we don't have amazing communication, but it does to an extent.

8. We keep a planner. This helps us keep on top of projects, assignments, appointments, etc. which is hard enough with ADHD, but even harder when you don't even remember being told about it. We also have a color system for if things get done. If they're done, they get crossed off. If they're started but not done, they get orange highlighter. And if they haven't been started (for whatever reason), they get pink highlighter. This helps us know what the most urgent things that need to be done are.

Here we are past the halfway point honestly didn't think I would get this far so now we on the Blade's chapter- Ender-anon

A life changing fight

Tommorow was the day that Tommy and Wilbur(who insisted you called him Wilby in person and in your letters) warned you about in their letters their brother the crown prince was apparently coming for a diplomatic mission and to make sure that the current ambassador was doing alright after suffering a stress related illness you had personaly gone to visit him earlier in the day after all he always went out of his way everday to ask about you day and make sure you were doing alright so it was only right you wish him a swift recovery in person. After your visit you decided to go to the military academy it was only one building and only had a few training grounds compared to the one in the Actic Empires capital,Wilbur had shown you around last time you had traveled there, theirs was more that 5 times the size at minimum but it had served you nation well in the centurys since it had been built.You saw Buldrokkas'tee giving a demonstration to the newest iteration of squad A6 upon noticing you he kneeled and asked for you assistance with a combat demonstration, granting his request you went to one of the simpler training grounds a simple dirt field, taking position opposite him you both bowed before you charged across the field sword clashing against his tower shield pushing him back slightly before dodging his spear as it cracked the ground where it hit making a small crater, running back to put distance between you digging in your heels as he threw the spear swinging you sword at the last moment defecting it flying out of the field leaving him weaponless, losing his spear didn't faze Buldrokkas'tee as finaly started moving forward shiffting his shield to use that as a weapon and despite you effort of knocking the shield out of his hands while trying not to get hit by said shield unfortuantely you messed up first leading to you geting hit in the chest knocking the breath out of you lungs and sending you flying into a nearby tree before falling to the ground bringing the match to an end. Laughing as you stood back up proud that you had lasted so long against him, you turned to see Buldrokkas'tee had recovered his spear and had a person trailng behind him that you didn't recoginse a piglin hybrid if you weren't mistaken.

You introduce yourself and when he does in kind your surprised to find out he was prince Technoblade who informs you that he was impressed with the match and if you would humor him with a spar.You gladly did so and managed to last longer than you did against Buldrokkas'tee but you still lost not without landing a few good blows on Technoblade. After the match which you imforms the prince that it was one of the best fights you ever had and that you'd be happy to fight him again tommorow before he had to go home, to which he gave you a strange look before agreeing and leaving. You were way to pumped about the coming fight and spent your free time thinking of his fighting style and how you could exploit the weaknesses that it held. When you arived early due to your excitment, once you saw him arrived you gleefuly asked if he was ready to which he nodded that he was and like that it began. Before you had struggled a bit due to his fighting style being very different from those of you knights but after spending the privious day replaying his every move within you mind deconstrucing it until you could see through his attacks which if his face (what little of his face you could see due to the boar skull mask) was any indication was infuriating.However even if you could now dodge and parry his attacks you weren't able to land any hits of your own leading to you both agreeing it was a tie after continuously fighting for over two hours.Your face almost hurt from the size of your grin as you try to catch your breath while Techno is just staring at you and he congratulated you on managing to tie with him, you just thank him for giving you the most rewarding fight of you life as he walked away you called him over and handed him a sword made in the style of your people as thanks for humoring your request of a rematch.He left back to the empire later that day and a week later while going through the enemy of rulers everywhere paperwork only to (thankfuly) be interupted as a guard informed you that gifts from the Arctic Empire which didn't surprise you honestly you didn't know how the empire had a fuctioning economy with how many gifts Tommy and Wilbur bought you, but this wasn't their handwriting or their fathers confused you opened the packages to find...stratagy books and books on different fighting styles all annotated with the mystery handwriting, turning to the letter you open it to discover that these were from Techno and he was asking if you could write to eachother like you did with his brothers, you would be happy to you thought happy to have a new friend.

A bond that he wouldn't allow to break

Technoblade the dreaded crown prince of the Arctic Empire was bored, his father had sent him to the country that was home to the ruler his brothers seemed obsessed with if the fact that they ordered the poor ambassador to your nation to send them daily updates about your day the stress of the two princes breathing down his neck had lead the man to suffering from a mental break. They didn't use to be so bad, well in comparison but now, now though Wilbur was charge of their latest coquest Newfoundland and Tommy in charge to the new colony of buissness bay and that ment they couldn't vist you nearly as much his father even had to sent a few nobles with Tommy to rule along side him to ensure he wouldn't just run off to you whenever he felt lonely. But now he was here to make sure the mans family was adequitly compensated for his unfortunate death by "bandits" on his way home but he had accompliced that within the first few hours after making sure that the man would have no surpirse visitors now that the man was dead he had nothing to do and since he arrived a day early he would have to spend a day longer here, not that was to bad there weren't anyone staring at him despite his hybrid apperence but then again most of the population seemed to be hybrids he could probably count the number of human he had seen in the capital on one hand. He was abruptly brought out of his museings when the sound of a sword clanging against a shield rang out looking around he realised he had walked by a dirt field being used for a spar, looking over to see who was fighting on the side closest to him was a human with a two handed sword (an uncommon weapon in the empire) and when he saw the other fighter he froze because he recognised that person, a towering figure at least 9 foot tall maybe 10 if you counted the branch like horns and a deer skull mask rested on his face only crimson eyes visible,the choice of a spear as big as its weilder and a tower shield over 6 feet tall only confermed its users idenity in his mind desipte its impossiblity. That human was fighting the infamous demon hybrid Patriot an general that once served the now wiped out ursus empire while it still existed but Patriot vanished before the collapse disgusted with the noblity but he shouldn't be standing their he vanished over a century and a half ago he would be nearing 200 years of age he should be dead but hear he was fighting a human and the human was holding thier own.He watched as the human deflected the spear thrown at them throwning himself to the ground as it almost impaled him when the human sent it flying but soon the human was sent flying into a tree but rather then be in pain the human just started laughting while dusting themself off.Since the spear was right next to him it was no surpires that Patriot found him but he simply lead him to the human who introduced themself as the ruler his brothers were obsessed with so not wanting to tick off his brothers by being rude to them he introduced him self title and all.

Your reaction to that was strange though you didn't harded you eyes in digust like he had seen other humans or even most hybrids did, he did however ask for a spar if you could disarm someone with over a century of combat exsperence you would give him a good fight surely and you did, you lost but it lasted longer than any fight he had had in years but instead of being anoyed that you lost you thanked him for the fight and asked if you could fight again before he left for home stunned by your lack of negative emotions towards him he only nodded and walked away to do more sightseeing.The next day he arrived on time only to find you already there, he didn't expect this fight to differ form the day before, he could not have been futher from the truth you were suddenly able to dodge and parry his every move its like you knew every attack he made before he had even swung his weapon it was starting to imfuriate him the only reasion he didn't outrite lose was because he could easily could read you attacks thanks to years of battlefield experience, the fact that you drove him to a draw after only a day, how much better could you improve with propper guidance,his guidance if you jumped up to his level in the space of a single day as he started to wall off mind filled with training regements and maybe he could get you a one handed sword and shield and teach you his style . He paused when he saw you running up to him with a two handed sword in hand and you were giving it to him... as thanks for agreeing to fight you and he felt his heart swell as you called it the most rewarding fight of your life looking down at your beaming face maybe he could see why his brothers were so attached to you. After returning home he went to his personal libery grabing the stratagy books and books on different fighting styles he thought would suit you and writing notes and helpful tips throughout them,it wasn't untill he started writing his letter and heard his brothers talking about you(they didn't notice him listening) as a sibling that it finaly clicked for him you could be the sibling he could truely bond with in a way not even his twin could someone who he could talk strategy with and not just have them nod in agreement just to appease him after all Wilbur had Tommy why couldn't he have a little sibling to himself.

Ender-anon

After writing this I can safely say I hate writing fight scenes, we are now at 3/4 SBI and don't regret writing spending so long writing Technoblade's reaction to Patriot cause he's such a badass as one of the hardest bosses in game he's from and in the story he shrugs off a blow that broke a skyscraper in half and in the end you never beat him in the story so I had to have techno react to this most badass 200 something year old giant of a man that got his own official music video depicting his fight.Feel free to ignore this if it's to off topic I just had to get that off my chest he is such a bad ass.

On Elven Gender Roles

Have been rereading “Laws and Customs of the Eldar” and noticed a couple things.

1) Elven gender roles don’t work the same as human ones, in that there’s no stigma associated with being an exception to the general tendency. It’s just a description of what the common preferences are. All these things [various activities], and other matters of labour and play, or of deeper knowledge concerning being and the life of the world, may at different times be pursued by any among the Noldor, be they neri [male elves] or nissi [female elves].

2) The baking of bread isn’t exclusive to women; only the baking of lembas is. Lembas is not, I think, the everday bread among the elves; in the Silmarillion its giving has a special significance, and in The Lord of the Rings it additionally has an almost sacramental quality and cannot be eaten by corrupted creatures (both the Orcs and Gollum shun it). This suggests that it’s for particular purposes and needs. So there’s nothing standing in the way of a male elf baking regular bread, any more than there’s anything standing in the way of Aredhel going hunting.

3) The paragraph on preferences of female and male Noldor with regard to activities leaves the strong impression that they picked these preferences up from the Valar. Female elves are more likely to prefer ‘tending of fields and gardens’ (Yavanna), textile work (Vairë), history (Vairë again) and healing (Estë); if you told me they were even more into astronomy than male elves I wouldn’t be at all surprised (though of course all elves are very into astronomy). Male elves are more likely to prefer craftsmanship (Aulë) and forests and wild creatures (Oromë) and are more likely to take part in combat when necessary (Oromë again, and Tulkas). The pattens are too systematic to not suggest that the Noldor are modelling the preferences of their teachers. Which is not to say the Valar intended things that way.

[Out-of-universe, they’re obviously also reflecting Tolkien’s own preconceptions; the same female-agriculture, male-wilderness distinction is seen among the Ents and Entwives.

But Elven preferences don’t precisely map to human ones, at least not present-day human ones. For example, men tend to be a narrow majority in history classes while women are the majority in linguistics, whereas among Tolkien’s elves things are the other way round. And these days at least, in college and university courses, you’ll find comparatively more men in agriculture fields and comparatively more women in environment/wilderness conservation fields.]

🍑 for all your muses?

/ Anonymous. // HC Prompts -

🍑  :    how meticulously does my muse look after their physical appearance?  do they spend a lot of time on their hair,  makeup,  grooming,  and clothing?  is there a particular reason why they do or don’t?  

I ended up writing a lot, so it’s under the cut.

So/na.

Because she’s a partial shapeshifter ( succubus / siren / fae blood ), a lot of the little details of maintenance she doesn’t have to worry about. Her hair ( of which each strand is almost semi-translucent like that of a polar bear ) is generally very well maintained automatically, and she prefers a more natural look in the day to day.

For concerts or events, she knows how to dress up and it’s been drilled into her how to be a showstopper with her looks, poise, and clothing. Being trained into nobility, she’s mastered the art of going from ‘pretty’ to ‘gorgeous’ with the help of clothes/makeup/hair/etc. CHA 20 bby.

Although you would figure that ‘hair’ takes a while, one of the things So/na did to master her magic was to master mundane but ‘high dexterity’ tasks like sewing, knitting, and yes - braiding hair. So she has the capacity to do her hair in all sorts of styles entirely by herself and without needing her hands. This not only makes it faster, but also means it doesn’t take her “time” because she’s doing it while doing something else. 

Remember that she spent her entire childhood living in an orphanage, and so her entire growth period was marked by a lack of luxuries and shiny things. Part of that gives her a certain preference for casual clothes and loose items and a more ‘country bumpkin’ look, but it also gives her an absolute appreciation for the wealth she does currently enjoy - and she uses it to look super pretty when she wants. She also makes and alters her own clothes ( kind of has to given her height ) so she enjoys a lot of flexibility with her appearance.

Ori/anna.

Ori’s relationship with her appearance is... complicated. To be blunt, she’s a bit dysphoric. Moreover, she didn’t really love her hair as a kid. One of the things that makes Ori distinct from her peers is that she is very clean, especially her hair. Despite everyone constantly being caked in some level of Zaun grime, she is definitely one of the better off individuals.

As for makeup? Basically none to speak of. Her experience with makeup is from the theater perspective, not the casual / everday perspective. And no one ever taught her anything about it either ( and there’s no YT / online tutorials ), since her only family was her father. The biggest thing she does is dye her hair and sometimes let it down in a long ponytail, but she has bigger problems. And as far as she’s concerned, no one is going to remember and she doesn’t like looking at mirrors so she doesn’t always pay the best attention to it.

Her clothes are very much in the style of a mechanic, and she should give off a ‘slightly clean Zaunite / slightly grimy Piltovian ‘ individual. A tank top, cargo pants with pockets, tools hanging from her belt. She works with metal constantly, so why wear nice clothes? She saves those for special occasions for not getting too dirty. Her vibe is less ‘beautiful idol / nymph’ like So/na and more ‘next door neighbor / friendly cashier at the convenience store’.

Ire/lia.

Her style is very much function over form, except for her very puffy jacket which is both functional and stylish~ It’s quite nice. Makeup is light, some eyeliner and foundation at best, but she usually doesn’t bother at all. Growing up in the war and then traveling day in and day out across the skies, it didn’t give her a lot of time to worry about things like that.

As a result, she does look very plain and very much like an old war dog. And she doesn’t mind, because that is what she is. Regarding hygiene, she does take care to handle the very basics, but sometimes she’s flying for days on end and sleeping in the air, and so finding water to brush her teeth can be sparse.

Her hair, however, she makes a point of treating very well. Combs it out every day, tries all sorts of products from across Runeterra, etc etc- 

She has a certain sense of style, but it’s a lot more rustic than one would normally expect for Ire/lia’s more flowing, ribbon-y style. Her ‘flight’ style of clothing is very different from her ‘sightseer’ style of dress ( which she takes a bit more seriously, since she’s not up in the air or in combat ).

Soren tried to make his semester as close to a ‘normal’ school as possible, and still suffered a severe culture shock for lack of a better phrase. despite it, many of the subjects could still be studied for in the conventional manner, leading to grades that he was happy with, apart from the B+, that one hurt.

He’s much more excited for this semester’s classes, slowly getting into the rhythm of things. Though, after bootcamp, he regrets not signing up for hand-to-hand combat 101. How To Disappear is his favourite class at the moment, and while it’s most likely, definitely, aliens, maybe this could explain his mother and sister’s disappearances too.

Right now he’s trying to get information on whether there’s already a soccer club, and whether they play indoors or wait for the weather to get better, and he’s in the midst of talking to faculty about starting a intramural baseball team. He really wants to get involved in a club this semester, but hasn’t caught anything that’s piqued his interest. He will not be starting an extraterrestrial club because he reticent on being deemed that guy, but there’s not much else he’s all that passionate in. Maybe frisbee, frisbee’s fun.

[disturbingbookclub]

Michel Foucault, "Preface" to Anti-Oedipus: During the years 1945-1965 (I am referring to Europe), there was a certain way of thinking correctly, a certain style of political discourse, a certain ethics of the intellectual. One had to be on familiar terms with Marx, not let one's dreams stray too far from Freud. And one had to treat sign-systems -- the signifier -- with the greatest respect. These were the three requirements that made the strange occupation of writing and speaking a measure of truth about oneself and one's time acceptable. Then came the five brief, impassioned, jubilant, enigmatic years. At the gates of our world, there was Vietnam, of course, and the first major blow to the powers that be. But here, inside our walls, what exactly was taking place? An amalgam of revolutionary and antirepressive politics? A war fought on two fronts: against social exploitation and psychic repression? A surge of libido modulated by the class struggle? Perhaps. At any rate, it is this familiar, dualistic interpretation that has laid claim to the events of those years. The dream that cast its spell, between the First World War and fascism, over the dreamiest parts of Europe -- the Germany of Wilhelm Reich, and the France of the surrealists -- had returned and set fire to reality itself: Marx and Freud in the same incandescent light. But is that really what happened? Had the utopian project of the thirties been resumed, this time on the scale of historical practice? Or was there, on the contrary, a movement toward political struggles that no longer conformed to the model that Marxist tradition had prescribed? Toward an experience and a technology of desire that were no longer Freudian. It is true that the old banners were raised, but the combat shifted and spread into new zones. Anti-Oedipus shows us first of all how much ground has been covered. But it does much more than that. It wastes no time in discrediting the old idols. even though it does have a great deal of fun with Freud. Most important, it motivates us to go further. It would be a mistake to read Anti-Oedipus as the new theoretical reference (you know, that much-heralded theory that finally encompasses everything, that finally totalizes and reassures, the one we are told we "need so badly" in our age of dispersion and specialization where "hope" is lacking). One must not look for a "philosophy" amid the extraordinary profusion of new notions and surprise concepts: Anti-Oedipus is not a flashy Hegel. I think that Anti-Oedipus can best be read as an "art," in the sense that is conveyed by the term "erotic art," for example. Informed by the seemingly abstract notions of muliplicities, flows, arrangements, and connections, the analysis of the relationship of desire to reality and to the capitalist "machine" yields answers to concrete questions. Questions that are less concerned with why this or that than with how to proceed. How does one introduce desire into thought, into discourse, into action? How can and must desire deploy its forces within the political domain and grow more intense in the process of overturning the established order? Ars erotica, ars theoretica, ars politica. Whence the three adversaries confronted by Anti-Oedipus. Three adversaries who do not have the same strength, who represent varying degrees of danger, and whom the book combats in different ways: - The political ascetics, the sad militant, the terrorists of theory, those who would preserve the pure order of politics and political discourse. Bureaucrats of the revolution and civil servants of Truth. - The poor technicians of desire -- psychoanalysts and semiologists of every sign and symptom -- who would subjugate the multiplicity of desire to the twofold law of structure and lack. - Last but not least, the major enemy, the strategic adversary is fascism (whereas Anti-Oedipus' opposition to the others is more of a tactical engagement). And not only historical fascism, the fascism of Hitler and Mussolini -- which was able to mobilize and use the desire of the masses so effectively -- but also the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us. I would say that Anti-Oedipus (may its authors forgive me) is a book of ethics, the first book of ethics to be written in France in quite a long time (perhaps that explains why its success was not limited to a particular "readership": being anti-oedipal has become a life style, a way of thinking and living). How does one keep from being fascist, even (especially) when one believes oneself to be a revolutionary militant? How do we rid our speech and our acts, our hearts and our pleasures, of fascism? How do we ferret out the fascism that is ingrained in our behavior? The Christian moralists sought out the traces of the flesh lodged deep within the soul. Deleuze and Guattari, for their part, pursue the slightest traces of fascism in the body. Paying a modest tribute to Saint Francis de Sales, one might say that Anti-Oedipus is an Introduction to the Non-Fascist Life. This art of living counter to all forms of fascism, whether already present or impending, carries with it a certain number of essential principles which I would summarize as follows if I were to make this great book into a manual or guide for everyday life: - Free political action from all unitary and totalizing paranoia. Develop action, thought, and desires by proliferation, juxtaposition, and disjunction, and not by subdivision and pyramidal hierarchization. - Withdraw allegiance from the old categories of the Negative (law, limit, castration, lack, lacuna), which Western thought has so long held sacred as a form of power and an access to reality. Prefer what is positive and multiple, difference over uniformity, flows over unities, mobile arrangements over systems. Believe that what is productive is not sedentary but nomadic. - Do not think that one has to be sad in order to be militant, even though the thing one is fighting is abominable. It is the connection of desire to reality (and not its retreat into the forms of representation) that possesses revolutionary force. - Do not use thought to ground a political practice in Truth; nor political action to discredit, as mere speculation, a line of thought. Use political practice as an intensifier of thought, and analysis as a multiplier of the forms and domains for the intervention of political action. - Do not demand of politics that it restore the "rights" of the individual, as philosophy has defined them. The individual is the product of power. What is needed is to "de-individualize" by means of multiplication and displacement, diverse combinations. The group must not be the organic bond uniting hierarchized individuals, but a constant generator of de-individualization. - Do not become enamored of power. It could even be said that Deleuze and Guattari care so little for power that they have tried to neutralize the effects of power linked to their own discourse. Hence the games and snares scattered throughout the book, rendering its translation a feat of real prowess. But thse are not the familiar traps of rhetoric; the latter work to sway the reader without his being aware of the manipulation, and ultimately win him over against his will. The traps of Anti-Oedipus are those of humor: so many invitations to let oneself be put out, to take one's leave of the text and slam the door shut. The book often leads one to believe it is all fun and games, when something essential is taking place, something of extreme seriousness: the tracking down of all varieties of fascism, from the enormous ones that surround and crush us to the petty ones that constitute the tyrannical bitterness of our everday lives.

Write Weds - Cordate Pt 2

Last week I put the first chapter of a thing out in the ether. This week allow me to preface what Cordate is. Everyday Combat is a series I learned so much about storycraft from. I wrote, rewrote, and edited this version of the story. After three passes and rejection from publishing agents I started rewriting the entire saga. That’s for later though.

Every Wednesday I plan on releasing 2-4k words at a time of this slightly incompetent and amateurish mess. While things are mostly realistic in this post-modern setting, think of everyone as a character in a game with hit points. Because let’s be honest, our heroine should have been dead before the first chapter even began if things were too realistic.

[Ch. 02]

In the interest of fairness Andy took about two thirds, leaving Mandy with one third. It was a cupcake. Her cupcake, that he bought her for her birthday. If anyone was ever as obnoxious, Mandy was sure they would find their way into her life.

Art class is where they met almost six months prior. Paired together even though neither had a lick of creative talent. They kicked off and were passing because they were trying. Art teachers were always like that; 'You gave it your best shot. Here's a B.' Mandy was a straight A student. So they had spent the whole afternoon of her birthday deciding on how to pass the art final.

It took a month for the sophomore and junior to not only warm up to each other but to understand why the class was paired up when art is generally a singular thing. When the teacher told them ideas blossom better when discussed and bounced back and fourth, they Andy and Mandy agreed. From then on they disagreed. On everything.

Opposites attract, though. And five months later Andy and Mandy were not only spending more time together than either would have expected, but sharing Mandy's birthday.

Andy was a brand of handsome similar to enjoying wines and beers to their fullest; an acquired taste. There was nothing wrong with Andy, just nothing remarkable. Pushing being overweight, a brain too big, and a mouth too loud. Bad qualities aside, Mandy found his cheekbones adorable, and his flamboyant hair-sprayed bedhead unique. Fabulous hair wasn't the end, Andy dressed in a neo-vampiric-emo-goth style that corroded at Mandy's sense of style. She couldn't understand why a high schooler would spend his allowance on dry cleaning to have perfectly pressed pants and spotless silk shirts.

But her inability to understand him was another part of the charm. As if he had almost forgotten among his involvement with exchange students and all the video games he talked about, Andy presented the pastry an hour after they started working on the final. In spite of being a little perturbed, Mandy was happy to have received the fraction of a cupcake. It was a disgusting thing, cinnamon cake, simple butter-cream frosting and flakes of bacon on top.

The delight in her golden eyes contradicted the disgust she voiced. That was the attribute Andy liked most, Mandy's eyes. Not to say that was her best attribute, simply the first everyone noticed. Mandy was a beauty that bloomed late. The stress in her early teens over fitting in with beautiful America lead to the prominent complication in her family life. Andy only met her in the last leg of recovering but was easily the best person to motivate her to eat.

The stigma around her at school was quick to evolve over the school year, from prep to vomiting mess to stoner. Andy did not get it, but as he told Mandy, the high school experts would view those four years as the best of their lives. It put the friends who stuck by her in perspective. They did not have anything meaningful to say, and what they did talk about was all meaningless gossip.

That afternoon after deciding on a pasta portrait they joked on their way to the grocery store how the next label would be whore or grave robber because of their growing relationship.

[Ch. 03]

Bandages obscured half the vision of my right eye and completely covered my right ear. The light through the cracks in the curtains drew long shadows. Spring in this city isn't as cold as Earth's rotation suggests it should be. Which was fine for it's inhabitants and meant I hadn't lost a whole day.

Finally when my stomach screamed at me I gave the effort to get up. The assholes moved me to the medical bed. My realization didn't end there, Tourn got carried away and hooked me up to his EKG machine as well. An unpleasant nickname slipped out of my mouth as I pulled the patches from my skin.

I might be a little judgmental of people. Tourn knew his stuff, he just had a peculiar way with people. His being here lies in a court case that stripped his medical license from him. The ruling was malpractice. His testimony was a confession that his temper got the better of him because of his nurse and the patients' family. With a slip of his hand a surgery turned into a nightmare for all sides.

Finding my balance was nearly impossible. I knew what to expect from my first concussion but you can never fully be prepared for the floor to cascade and ebb like waves. I had only planted both feet on something solid when I threw up. I was so happy that there was a little sink on the side of the bed. I may have clogged it though.

Forgoing the dizziness I found a couple pain pills, and washed them down with some more glorious water. Before the seeping smell of bile could make me vomit again I moved out of the Study.

Rooms away the guys were around the dining table discussing the future of Royal We. Hearing my name I stopped in the kitchen to listen.

“-Cord has brain damage?” Tourn’s voice was tight and tired, “Then what?”

“Voyeurs like underdog. Elbo sees no problem,” the stress he put on 'no' made me smile. I could almost see the gesture that went with the word.

Regency's disgust was obvious, “And if the rumors are true? If the Voyeurs, cut off our pay for being so low in the standings for so long, then what?” A few papers shuffled, “Between the match tomorrow and the new guy I think we're gonna fall off the radar if Cord isn't awake to give us a hand.”

“Rumors are rumors. No one knows what happens to teams that have stayed in the bottom for so long,” Tourn's voice was growing in volume. “And Cord shouldn't be much more then God damn walking for the next two weeks. How the fuck do you expect her to help us tomorrow?!”

I didn't think we were that far down for too long.

A chair scraped on the tiles, “We can't do shit with just the three of us! Don't matter how basic tomorrow's match is, bloke. We have to get out of the bloody bottom before we get too far into this season!” Another chair scraped as Regency rationalized our placing. “Or are we all still waiting for her to decide when we stop loosing?! We ain't loosing because we want to, we're loosing 'cause we can't fucking win!”

Whatever Regency was saying made no sense.

“Men! Sit down! Last game was won. We have chance to pick ourselves up! Fighting not helping.”

Everything went silent when I entered the dining hall.

Elbo grinned and poured a shot of vodka, “You look like hell, Quarda,” he rumbled as he shoved the glass in my hand. No words game to mind over everything I heard, so I nodded and downed the shot.

Everyone stayed quiet and kept a straight face as they all returned to their seats. Even after that spat, above their reddened cheeks I could see them smiling with their eyes that I was up.

The Brit was the first to speak up, “Haven't seen you eat in almost four days. Gotta be damn near starved.” He and Tourn exchanged a long look before Regency went to the kitchen.

More shots were poured as I sat down. Tourn didn't hesitate to down his shot.

I watched my little glass of clear liquid. It was tradition to drink the night before a match. It was a way, vodka wasn't my thing though, “Whiskey?”

“Spent most of our extra cash on blood, morphine, and drips for you,” Tourn reported as he slowly spun the shot glass. “Know how long you were out?”

I lifted the glass and nodded, acknowledging their conversation made it clear that it wasn't the afternoon of the same day I staggered home, “Think so.” My words were a slur still so I left out my guess of two days.

Tourn sighed, “You were under for two days.”

I nodded guessing his next words mentioning the match the next day.

“We've got another game tomorrow. It should be a simple one.”

I smiled, wanting to know about this new person.

Elbo must have seen me looking at the papers around the manila envelope on the table, “We have new member tomorrow, also.” I shot my liquor. Tourn braced himself. And the big guy explained, “Can Quarda pick him up? We can take match with three of us.”

“Simple 'nough,” I affirmed.

Dinner came soon after. It was mediocre. I can't blame Regency for being distracted, but I didn't even know Spam still existed. The best part of the dinner was Elbo ranting about real meat. Tourn was mostly quiet through our half star cuisine.

I figured the guys had already gone over all versions of their plans to account whether I would be available or not. My mission was simple, pick up the newbie at the station, get some lunch and discuss where he fits in. The discussion part worried me, there wasn't a need for me to say more than a handful of words since the motion blur of steel cracked my head, but I could feel that it wouldn't be something so simple to do.

The chatter calmed down at the end of our meal. We all silently acknowledged how things had changed since the summer. When I first joined Sand the dining room was constantly filled with laughter, stories, cards, liquor; all amounting to a ritual of celebration as if each match could be our last. All lost to the toll of our battles, the loss of our friends.

Royal We would make our comeback with the new day. I stood up and poured everyone a round. Elbo liked my idea, took his shot glass and stood with me. Regency shook his head with a smirk but stood up as Tourn did.

We all lifted our shots and cheered, “Light it up!”

The remainder of the night I typed up everything I would need to convey to our newbie. Before I turned in I found my phone on my nightstand. That was refreshing, the phones we use for Sand, Navipalms as the Scorekeepers named them, have several extra applications for matches.

The sleep I got that night was the best I think I had since the week before Vizy's Ban. Dreamless dark sleep that only broke when the sun poured through the curtains the next morning.

After showering and redressing my temple I spent an extra half hour practicing vocabulary to my reflection. I told myself I made no sense. And that my uneven hair was going to need to be redyed within a week. Sunshine eyes narrowed in my reflection, “Cor'ey, your gon' hav' to foc's.” With a sigh I gave up.

I dressed in my usual style, black slacks, a white button down shirt and my purple blazer. Breakfast was quick, the guys were heading out the door before I finished. All of the tension from last night was replaced with optimism. I was in no rush, but I gathered my Navipalm, my crowbar and my notes for the newbie and left.

The train station is where all new players enter from. And players are the only ones who really come to the city. Outsiders don't visit and the citizens use alternate means. It's like the general public has this vague idea that the Game is happening, but the Scorekeepers keep a good enough charade going around us that they can't quite pinpoint what's happening.

In my eyes, that's what I believe really got Vizy Banned. Cracking open a Scorekeeper base threatened the delicate balance of Game and Reality.

It doesn't take much to blind the public though. I've looked dozens in the eyes while in the middle of burglaries. Each one had turned the other cheek. If it's a girl picking the lock on a car, or setting charges to destroy property, or running her ass off with a duffel bag away from three different sources, they pretend not to notice. Threatening the illusion of the citizens' Perfection, California is nearly impossible, short of telling them, which I had never done.

That forenoon I wasn't a player though. Just a light sensitive and bruised person. Average enough to the normal populace and to the elderly man who joined me on the platform. His questions about my head and my reason for being there were a nuisance, and all unanswered. So, he went on to talk about a battle he was in in his younger years and the shell shock he suffered.

Being an average person was a pain. Next time instead of casual business I'd dress mafia. A chick in pinstripes carrying an ooze is pretty menacing. Never mind the low velocity rubber rounds, this old man wouldn't know the difference even with his war history.

At last the train pulled up as he began describing the intimate smell of sulfur and how close he came to the devil's maw. One man disembarked. I sized him up to my age bracket. His hair was black, straight, and just long enough to mostly cover his ears. While his face reminded me of a rock star his jaw had your typical superhero shape. Just what we needed in Royal We.

This was the first newbie I'd ever picked up, but given that he had the same expression I thought I had on when I stepped off that train it seemed common to know you're walking into promise. What that means is uncertain until you're thrown in. Sand wouldn't be as transparent as it is if players were recruited with all of the details.

He nodded offering a, “How's it going?”

I gestured for him to follow with the folder in my hand, “How's th' nap?”

“How'd you know I napped?” his voice had a quality to it that turned him from rock star to emo singer.

Instead of telling him everyone is lulled to sleep on the train ride I glanced a smile to him and gestured for him to follow me out of the station. The old man sighed as he bid me audeu. Our destination was a restaurant not too far away.

“Whoa, what happened to your head?” his question was rough around the edges.

I pulled my crowbar out of it's belt loop. Made sure he saw the dent, then made the motion of it striking my skull. I didn't feel much better then I had the night before but the ground wasn't wobbling. With all of the useless practice talking that morning I wanted to say as little as possible.

“Fuck.. What the hell happened for you to get hit with a crowbar?”

I shook my head as I put the steel away.

“Well, what's your name?”

“Cordeyh..” I tried.

“Coh-what?” He stepped ahead of me to get a look at my lips. There was no need to repeat myself, we were at the restaurant.

Shu's Thai was just the place to get out of the blinding sun and discuss his new life. Self seating, private booths, dim atmosphere, and less antique Asian crap for the modern touch of drapery everywhere.

I found a booth off to the side, sat down and leaned my head back. I felt like I could fall asleep if not for the tremendous throbbing between my eyes.

The new guy sat across from me and stayed quiet. I already liked him. Silence is only in the footnotes of Regency and Tourn's dictionary. Crunch was a quiet one too. Elbo.. Well, he's too to the point to talk any more than your average person. Visitor and Ani spoke their minds, but not nearly as much as the two loudmouths of Royal We.

A woman's voice broke the silence. Something about drinks.

There was an uncomfortable silence before I opened my eyes. The new guy was waiting for me, he looked a little concerned too. The woman, who's name tag read 'Kim' had set down menus and waited patiently looking between us.

“Wine. House.” Nice simple syllables. I closed my eyes again. The joke here is that I wasn't legal, but Kim didn't ask to see any identification.

The new guy tripped over his selection, “Uuhh I'll.. Just a C-no, root beer. Yeah. Root beer.”

The splendor of silence took over once more. It may have been uncomfortable for the newbie, but I could have cared less. The dim lights and near rest were doing wonders for my head.

I suppose our server returned with our drinks, I heard her asking what we wanted. I just waved my hand without opening my eyes, what I was waiting for was her to leave us be so we could get down to business.

The new guy ordered, and I heard Kim's voice turn as she said she'd bring that right out.

The lights in the room seemed brighter when my eyes opened. With a gulp of wine I forced the pressure behind my eyes away. I had work to do since the guys were out in a match.

I moved the folder from my lap to the table and opened with the first page facing him. It read, “First, what's your Tag going to be?”

He looked at me, sipped his soda and clasped his hands. “I thought about it. I don't know if it's good though.”

I spread my hands, asking 'so, what is it?' with my gesture.

“Mars.”

“Huh.” It wasn't terribly creative, but it wasn't simply terrible. I pulled out my phone and opened the registration application.

Mars's food was set down as I set up a file for him. Kim wanted to know if we needed anything else. So I sucked down the rest of my wine, set the glass on the edge of the table and replied with, “Please.”

Free of waitresses once more I turned to the next page in the folder. He read the words, “Whatever your name use to be forget it. Fill in all the fields I left blank then take a picture of yourself.”

I set my unlocked Navipalm on his side of the table, spun the folder around and scribbled on the paper, “And let me have a few bites off your plate.”

Kim was quick with my wine. Mars didn't glance her way as he scanned my handwriting and raised an eyebrow, “Really?”

I smiled pulling the plate towards me. I was paying so I felt he could shove his discontent with the sight of me eating a fork full of noodles.

The first bite was half chewed when something near the door fell. Several months of living this life trained me to be on alert immediately. I snatched my phone from Mars's hands, downed my wine and sneaked out of the booth behind the chairs and tables along the center row.

Crowbar ready I peeked out. The wine was helping, the lights of the restaurant weren't physically painful, but the sunshine from the front windows was a wall of blurry hard light. Not enough so that I didn't see a figure moving quickly from the door.

Mars was looking at me like I'd lost it. He'd learn quickly to stay on his toes. Until then I motioned for him to grab the folder. The last thing we needed was the Vigilantes turning my documents in and setting Royal We back right after finding a passion to pick ourselves back up.

That's when I saw her. Looming in the shadows over the booth in her cat suit. Watching Mars like an arachnid, waiting peacefully as the unsuspecting fly meandered around her web. The shape of 9's wooden sword attached at her hip, and bobbed hair were the only prominent features of her silhouette.

There was no telling if 9 saw me, so I had to act fast. My heart raced as I moved around the table, trying to flank her or get behind her. Kim wandered back into the area as I mounted the table to find the Nippon missing.

I was more prepared for the chain of events than I would have expected.

Kim's shocked words of, “What are you doing there?” turned into a shriek as a strap slipped over my head.

9 is good, but all of us are human in the Game, leaving a margin for error. Her mistake was overestimating my movements and catching my crowbar in the strap. After whapping my face in surprise I recovered quickly and pushed with both ends of the steel. I gained little leverage before she planted a knee in my back, pinning me to the seat and pulling harder to get the strap to my throat.

Something filled me as the faint scent of talcum powder reached my nose. It doubled my frustration, and confused me. I felt like we shouldn't be fighting. I couldn't make sense of it before white flashed my peripheral.

The whooshing empty gust of a missed strike blew over me. The strap uncoiled from my neck, allowing me to turn just in time to see Mars crack the plate on 9's heel. Her next hop missed and she fumbled to the ground from the table tops.

Mars didn't let up, though he was a little slow. His next strike fell on the back of a chair, shattering what remained of it.

By this time the cook in the back was scurrying out yelling Asian words at us.

Ignoring him, I wasted no time marching down the aisle as 9 retreated. Her lead was already too large. So, I wound up and chucked my crowbar at her, adding the battle cry, “You Cunt!” It made a lazy arc due to it's new aerodynamics, but damn was it satisfying seeing it smack her in the hip. Immediately following that satisfaction I was impressed that training with Elbo was paying off that well.

Her gimp-sprint brought a smile to my lips.

I turned gave Mars a firm handshake, “Welc'm.” That was all we had time for. The cook was approaching us and in the back I saw Kim with a phone to her ear.

“'S'go,” I tossed a bill large enough to feed three at Shu's down, took the folder from Mars and grabbed my crowbar from where it landed.

We weren't suppose to rendezvous for another hour, but nothing ever quite goes to plan. My blood was pumping and it wasn't a throbbing in my skull. I figured we could lend a hand if we could catch up to the guys.

“What was that? Initiation? A hit? Part of the Game?” Mars searched for the right question as he kept up with me on the street.

“Juss'uh bi'ch,” I spat. “Some'in's up. Goin' fin' the guys.”

On my Navipalm I opened the map. It's one of the most useful tools we have in Sand. The maps offer accurate positioning of teammate Navipalms, information on the match area (be it objectives or waypoints), and the ability to mark the map with various information.

The match was still under way, and things didn't look that great by what I saw. “You given uh phone?” I picked up speed.

“Yeah,” Mars matched my pace and had an eagerness about him.

“You're noh in thuh sys'em yeh. The opponen's can see our team.” I held out my phone so he could see the marks indicating Elbo, Tourn, and Regency. There were two more blips showing that they believed they were surrounded. The twist to the technology is earning Perks, things with the capabilities to let you see enemy positions, or listen in on enemy channels, to name a couple.

“So,” he nodded, “you want me to flank them.”

“Flank them,” I said with him. “Gimme your cell.” I added my number and Regency's. Marked out the path he should take, and added the one I was going to use. “Can' be on our team chan'l yeh, but call me or Regense if yo'r in chruble.” Channels are conference call like ways to communicate. If I were more daring we could have used a public one for Mars to talk to us through, but I had confidence that he wouldn't hesitate to contact me or Regency.

She means to endure more than she apparently has. Her initial trip to beloved's empty office inspired mostly by the small thought that she could perhaps contribute with an assessment of unread reports. Strive as she would though, the words were still incomprehensible to her, yet she persisted undeterred. Tucked into seat, legs curled beneath her, the hand she perched upon however soon became a pillow. She drifts to sleep before lover even returns home.

   – – ✦ 10:32 pm; time no longer worked in her favor (never did). Oft ticking too fast, too hasitly permanently slipping through spread fingers akin to the thinnest sand. Oh, she left the house at 7:30 am & ALWAYS returned much later than planned. Time, a fleeting concept. Intangible, uncatchable, uncontrollable. – oh, how Kiryuin had learned to hate this unpredictable element in precise everday planning. One could make appointments, could determine whom to meet & what to do but lioness would never be able to QUIT unless every little deed had been done. Time thus an enemy; running. Mocking. Proving to her once again that imbecile altruism & the wish to correct matters went wrong was such an UNGRATEFUL TASK. Atlas perhaps hence again her name. – how crude it seemed, to coerce a broken child to shoulder war’s aftermath. To repeat history & solely ACCEPT what one had always wished to change.

            10: 40 pm; minutes passed, while trembling fingers solved the kot of neatly worn tie, while Kiryuin disregarded picked blazer & opened the first button of donned blouse; bag was dejectedly tossed aside, held breath falling from parted lips in form of a drawn sigh. Everything went accoring to plan with old company’s name changed & reputation established. -- production rolling, partnerships contracted. Time therefore often spent in the company of designers, fashion experts & scientists. A tiring act; socializing harder than expected. OH, there as so much to do & so much to consider, Rei (trusted secretary) leaving & returning only to bring yet another stack of contracts, schedules & appointments. Made steps were slowed down by the nowadays typical limp to the right, half-lidded eyes carefully scanning the sanctuary of own home, THEIR home for a sign. Ears perked, heels taken off ever so swiftly. – 

             10:43 pm; ah yes, one was weary. Worn out by several hefty seminars & ensuing briefings; Kiryuin was keen to check private mails before heading to bed eventually, to join her lover’s side, burry the tip of body’s nose ino black shock of hair & fall into dreamless sleep. Indeed, the rhythm of Minami’s pulse oftentimes savored, used so as to drift into merciful slumber, used to combat reoccuring nightmares hence replacing them with images constructed out of black & white. Ironic, truly. Tattered body had stopped minding their closeness. Perhaps even strove for it; sought it akin to an addiction; dependency established oh so easily. Common gait was soundless; Kiryuin walked on the tip of her toes like a ghost passing through the corridors ‘til finally arriving at furnished bureau. Door ajar, left palm set against polished wood a bit too absentmindedly.

           Behold; she stops & stares, doffed vest cautiously tossed over nearby chair when lips curled into a mellow smile. A smirk, illuminating languid features swifter than anything else probably could. It was such a delightful sight to see beloved other resting oh so peacefully; lioness genuinely smiling albeit the soft crinkles beneath steely eyes & the discoloration there to hint at lacking rest; the drag of right shoulder when Kiryuin enclosed the distance between flesh & desk, sharp contours still far too prominent / HOLLOWED out now that light was dim & sun long gone. All that mattered was the fidelity of a single, crooked smile growing even a tad bit brighter when busy hands briskly put spread paperwork back on a stack & set to the edge of the table. Typical, diligent other always aiming on being of help (a few steps allowing her to round the obstacle). – to cease lioness’ workload ... no?

          “Falling asleep like this is bad for your posture.”

           Gentleness lay deeply enrooted in Kiryuin’s tone every letter uttered with utmost care. Call her remark a joke if you will. A quip there to herald initiated touch shortly after. Trembling hand against lover’s cheek, soft brush of thumb perhaps enough to wake her if prior words had not done so already. Kiryuin crouched, benign smirk ever present even when lips came to meet their counterpart. Merely a peck, resulting sleeply blinking stare of the other noted & cherished. – one rose to straighten arched spine, deep inhale taken before lioness cradled beloved in quivering arms with Minami’s head resting against the crook of this body’s neck; it stung, shoulders protesting against the sudden maltreatment, revolting against the tension evoked in stout arms. Teeth ground as Kiryuin moved on almost effortlessly; brows creasing strained smirk then merging into a petite smile. Oh, dear lion heart; behold lover’s content expression, this petite hum breathed against body's lurking clavicle. Oh, felt pain in battered joints was a sweet ache happily borne for HER sake. To make up for wasted time, if only for a moment. --

           indeed, she had even forgotten to further check the time.
