Oc In Fifteen

Thanks for tagging me @illarian-rambling!

I’ll do my boy Micheal because his dialogue makes me laugh. 

“Ugh. No, I'm not okay. Ford and his band of merry morons have been searching for me all day.”

“Ha ha! Guess what? The power almost went out in my house again today. But that's not a problem for me! Not anymore!” 

“I'm so sorry, but I dont think I’m going to do that. So if you don't mind, I'm just gonna go….”

“Dad! I’ve only been gone for two weeks. Why does it look like a tornado blew through here!?” 

“I just don't know… I didnt ask for this y’know?” 

“And what are you supposed to be? Halloween was six months ago y’know? You look like a greyscale clown!” 

“Talia… I only got Two. Hours. Of sleep last night. What do you want?” 

“Excuse you!? I’ll have you know that half of the girls in the entire city love me.” 

“C’mon Rey. There has to be some way I can take this guy out without killing him. Can’t I just lure him away somewhere!?” 

“Sorry Bianca! I’ve just been a bit tired recently.” 

“Reymond! Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend!? I get not telling Talia but c’mon!” 

“Trust me, I'm fine! I want to help people. That’s my job. Why do you think I’m out there every night? Do you think I have the money to afford to actually make a difference? I’m not a genius like you or Galo, I come from probably the poorest part of the city! This is the only way I can make this city great again.”

“Hey hey! I’m not here to hurt you. You’re going to be okay, trust me. I’m going to get you out of here.” 

“No One? Really? You seem more like a Jerry to me.” 

“Talia… You know I appreciate you designing my suit for me… But maybe less purple and more blue? Maybe?”

Find the Word Tag Game

Man been a hot minute since I've done one of these bad boys. Remember when I used to do tag games?

Tagged by: @artdecosupernova-writing My Words: front, back, side, up, down, around Tagging: Anyone who wants to participate! I've been away so long I have no idea how many of the writeblrs following me/I'm following are still active, lmao. Your Words: salt, bitter, spice, sweet

Just gonna pull from MBMP since it's been a long time since I worked on the OG (and haven't done much of anything more with it in the time after I went on hiatus here.)

Front

“Okay, okay, okay,” I said, catching my breath and winding down. “I’ve got one. What’s the most ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ way you’ve died?” Once more, they had to think on it. “I was orbiting the black hole at the center of Brittle Hollow — don’t ask how I got into that position in the first place — maneuvering so that I can get caught by a gravity elevator and lifted to safety, when this huge chunk of the crust breaks off in front of me. I didn’t have enough time or thrust to get out of its way, so I just…” They illustrated by smacking their palm against their other hand’s fist. “Killed me instantly, which I guess is better than dying either from internal bleeding or a cracked visor in a near-vacuum. You?”

Back

“So no turning around and heading back to the first area.” They held up their hand, first finger partially curled. “Not that we have a way to get back there.” First finger straightened. “Not that we want to go back there. Unless you want to finish reading that book you didn’t like.” “It’s not that I didn’t like it. I mean, I wrote it; I’d better like it. But the fact that they had it at all creeped me out.” “Yeah, I’m not sure how the third party got my ship log either.”

Side

“No offense, Morgan, but the fact that you didn’t smash your way in here like the Incredible Hulk leads me to believe these doors are indestructible even for you.” “You’re right, I wasn’t able to break through either one on the way here. But who knows,” he shrugged, positioning himself about a step away from his target, “could be that they’re only reinforced from one side.” “So you’re thinking it might work because it’s a— ” My sentence was cut off by a metallic bang! as Morgan karate-kicked the door straight off its hinges. And in half. “��� ‘push’ door,” I finished.

Up

They tilted their head slightly, “I don’t know how we’re any more lost than we were when we first met. Your suit’s also been keeping track of where we’ve been, right?” I gave a flat, “No.” “Oh. Does your HUD not have that feature?” “I don’t have a HUD, period.” Mentally, I groaned. Why did their space suit have all these fancy features when it looked like… well, that? Meanwhile, here I was, wearing the best humanity has to offer and coming up about as short as a toddler at a track meet. Freaking aliens, man.

Down

“So it’s not darkness but nothingness, then” “Seems like it,” they replied, then held down the launcher’s trigger. Apparently, that was supposed to do something, as they tried releasing and holding the trigger once more. When their third attempt likewise did nothing, they twisted a few things, pulled at some others, and detached the launcher from its shoulder mount. After giving it a look over, they delivered a couple of solid smacks near the base where the scout had initially been resting, then held the trigger again. “Is something wrong?” I asked. “Yeah, it’s not coming back,” they answered, giving the device a final shake for good measure. “Which is concerning given that I’ve recalled this thing from halfway across the solar system before.” “Oh, so it’s, like, gone gone.”

Around

Flicking their mic’s switch back on, they told me in a flat tone, “My time loop ends with our entire solar system being destroyed by our star going supernova. I’ve been trying to fix it for a while now.” Then, quietly, as if admitting it would be a betrayal, “I’m not sure I can fix it.” “Jesus,” I breathed. “Mine’s just some stupid thing that I don’t even know what it is but it sure as hell isn’t our whole planet getting annihilated. Man, screw these stupid suits,” I said, already feeling around for whatever mechanism kept my helmet on. (That was the first step in taking this suit off, right? Removing the helmet?) “You need a bigger hug than this thing allows.”

Thanks again for the tag @artdecosupernova-writing!

From Nobyl Blood and I apologize for how mushy this is.  I did say it was a romance.

If she was still clinging to the edge, her grip was surely loosening with every kiss and every inch that her hand slipped under his shirt.  Lost in the soft rhythm of his breathing and the steady beat of his heart on which her hand had settled.  It was a stark contrast to the erratic way hers was pounding.  The way it always pounded when he was around. She would have to get used to it.
