A Very Imperial Valentines Week - Day 2 - Surprise Inspection

‘He wasn’t even supposed to inspect the fleet until next week’, Admiral Piett remarked sadly. The officer on the receiving end of the Sith Lord’s displeasure was still alive. His mouth was silently gaping, the pale lips shuddering: whether in silent pleading or in a futile attempt to breathe, it would soon make no difference. His fate had been sealed the moment his larynx had been closed off. General Veers had turned his eyes away, more out of decency towards the dying officer than out of any real fear. The general’s report had already been reviewed. He was about as safe as anyone could be under their daily circumstances. This knowledge gave Piett some measure of comfort.

‘The worst thing is not knowing who’s next’, he sighed, feeling small and tired and unremarkable. ‘Myself, in all likeliness. If there’s anything I am, it’s replaceable.’ ‘Not to me, you aren’t’, Veers said firmly, comfortingly placing a hand on Piett. ‘And not to him, I think. He values competent officers.’

The limp figure of their late colleague fell to the floor, sounding for all the world like a mere slab of meat. Piett winced. Even Veers’ iron grip on his shoulder briefly tightened in sympathy. ‘And we’ll have a drink after the inspection, shall we?’ Piett suggested grimly. ‘Something strong and mind-numbing. As usual?’ ‘Oh yes. A celebration of our continued existence’, Veers agreed. ‘How jolly.’

omg (n˘v˘•)¬

a new ask meme: go to my ask and paste the last thing you copied and send it to me without any explanation.

04: Have you ever thrown a book across the room?

Yes, but not out of frustration. I think I was jokingly trying to hit a friend (and missing by a ton on purpose, of course).

06: Have you read any writing-advice books?

Just On Writing by Stephen King. My aunt gave it to me. She is a professional author, but all of her books have less than 2 stars on Amazon, so I try not to take her advice very often. The book was good, though

12: Who is your favorite author?

I know it is a huge no-no, but I don’t actually read very much at all. I’m not an avid novel consumer despite the fact that avid novel consumption, supposedly, supports avid novel writing. So, I’ve got nothing for you.

19: Do you prefer writing on a computer or longhand?

If you ever make me write longhand, I will fight you. I do not tolerate that nonsense. How dare you.

21: Do you outline?

Almost never. Most of the time, I start writing without having any idea of where I am going and develop a path as I go. This is especially true of my drabbles - they’re often the product of me just saying, “GO” and writing whatever comes to mind. In many cases, I have no idea who I am even writing as until the third or fourth paragraph.

28: Which do you find hardest: the beginning, the middle, or the end?

The middle. It is usually a transitional period between topics and often seems to drag on and on. I want to get to the climax, but I’m stuck working toward it.

38: What’s your current WIP?

I am ashamed to say that my Halloween and Christmas holiday fics are. It is mid January and, yet, here I am. :< I’m a mess. I just haven’t felt like writing anything longer than 1-2k in a long time.

50: If you could live in any fictional world, which would it be?

as i always say, if you can’t make your own ginger dude, store bought is fine

eyyyyyy thank!!!

4. Name a game that everyone else loved that you didn’t care for.

Skyrim. I played it and the gameplay was nice, but I was sooo disappointed with the story, it just felt so… anticlimactic.

7. Name a game that taught you something that you still remember.

Civilization 3 taught me lots of history, because I was p young when it came out. For some reason I always think of the navigation terms and especially the types of ships it taught me the words for. In general you could say that playing Civ3 and HoMM3 which was even earlier than that was one of the two ways I learned English (the other was cartoon network lol). I def haven’t forgotten that. :D

13. Describe what would happen if the main characters of the last two games you played switched places.

I’m taking main character as my main in this context lol. Mercy resurrects Divine Justinia and the other people at the conclave. Not that this means anything when it comes to stopping Corypheus but there’s less dead people. Also I’m imagining how terrible trespasser would be for her because she’s tried so much shit on the anchor and it keeps getting worse.

Also on the other hand the Inquisitor in Overwatch like Blizz nerf Mark of the Rift pls

19. Name a game you have never beaten.

Any of the Tomb Raiders before Legend, I’ve played most, but the levels are so long and things keep popping up I’ve always been an anxious child listen.
