my girlfriend’s done an amazing job of working me through my problems and though i do feel a little more confident with elsie, i’m still struggling just a little bit. i decided -- even though i’ve not been on this blog specifically for very long -- i’m going to move blogs. i need to cut down on clutter, reorganize things, etc. 

i will be dropping all threads here. i’m so sorry, but i feel like i really need to do that. if there is a thread you really want to keep, we can talk about it -- otherwise, i am so thrilled to start something new with you.

        Heavy boots clank up titanium rungs, the ladder trembling with the heft & speed of its climber. Grim, Tamás opens the navi & plugs in coordinates. After a while, he regards Elsie, the blue wash of his hologram not helping ease the tension in his frown. ❝ Mija, I need you to man the turret. Not that I’m expecting us to use it…but we’re goin’ in some rough territory & I don’t want to be caught off-guard. ❞

this  isn’t  the  jovial  mood  that  has  so  often  pervaded  la  joya’s  interior.  elsie  straightens  up  quickly  when  his  gaze  falls  on  her  shoulders.  this  is  serious.  she  won’t  let  him  down  ,  even  if  she  doesn’t  know  all  the  details.  she  doesn’t  need  to.  she  trusts  him  &  listens  without  protest.   ❝  where  exactly  are  we  going?  ❞   that  much  at  least  she’d  like  to  know.

brand  new  starter  call  !!  like  this  &  i’ll  pop  my  spo.tify  on  shuffle  to  write  a  starter  based  on  a  song.  it  might  start  out  a  little  shorter  but  there’s  always  the  potential  to  write  more  &  more.

mermaid’s  fingernails  are  sharp  --  more  claws  than  actual  nails  --  but  they  trace  the  lines  wringing  siren’s  wrists  with  a  tender  lightness  ;  unwilling  or  perhaps  unable  to  pierce  or  draw  blood.  they’re  new  scars.  ligature  marks  left  behind  by  rough  sailors  who  understood  solely  that  they’d  happened  upon  something  EXTRAORDINARY  on  land  .  .  .  not  understanding  just  what  that  was  ,  however.  maybe  it’s  because  it  was  rey  that  rescued  her  in  the  first  place  that  she  doesn’t  immediately  pull  away  from  the  inquisitive  touch.    ❝  they  don’t  hurt  anymore.  i’ve  almost  forgotten  they  were  there.  ❞
