Sainted Fury

“Wing it and hope you get it right.” He hums, “That’s what worked for me over the years.” “Oh that? Well, my parents were loosely on the fringes of the movie business, my mom was a makeup artist and my dad was a stylist. So I’d often go with them when I was young and I loved being on set. They were both working on the set for a tv series when one of the actors suggested they have me try out for the part of a kid in one of the upcoming episodes. I got the part and from there I just kept going to auditions and it just stuck. I never really wanted to do anything else over the years, so it worked out.”

“Maybe not,” Faith replied, off the cuff.  “But what’s the point in dashing right back out into it again before you’re ready?  What good does that do you, let alone anyone else?”

Her design might have been a stylized flower.

“Something like that,” Gat agreed.

He didn’t seem to be paying too deep attention to the western, himself.  Faith found her pocket knife and started etching into the table.  But neither seemed in a hurry to be anywhere else at the moment.

Furia wasn’t sure she was in a hurry either. A part of her felt the need for movement, some kind of forward motion. Of course, she also worried about that motion making her fall backward. 

zinjai-the-zinbean​:

Zinjai let out a soft sigh. He nodded in agreement to her words. “I can’t deny that” He told her as he brought up a list of three planets untouched by the zin. “These might interest you” Zinjai added as he turned in his seat just enough to look at Furia.

One planet was more or less a forest planet with ice caps at the North and South poles. Whether it was inhabited or not was unknown. It had no oceans, but rather rivers and lakes dotted its surface.

The second planet was almost barren, but liveable. It had three large oceans and plants were scattered about the place.

The final one was largely covered in oceans with the only land masses being islands scattered across it’s surface. Some with life, others just large mounds of sand.

“Interesting. Why were these passed over?” Furia asked, studying them for a moment. 

She wasn’t sure if perhaps it was the lack of life present or something else. What was it that drew Zinyak to the planets that he destroyed? Why did these go overlooked?

“Yeah. It took a few weeks and some straining filming sessions but I finally got my head out of my ass.” He nods, starting towards the elevator. “I’m glad I did though.”

“I can only imagine how tense that was.” Though to be entirely fair, she didn’t have to imagine. Just a phone call from Eli had thrown her into a tail spin. Having to see and work with him every day. That she could not imagine.

“Not sure I could have done it,” she admitted. “You deserve credit for sticking it out. Though I guess maybe your contract probably wouldn’t let you just say fuck it all.
