These games always make me see my VERY LONG sentences. Here's 7 from GhostQueen project. Sandrine had drawn enough protective talismans on the walls but if the whole ship was in the reality then those talismans wouldn’t do shit.

“You’re calm,” Sandrine began as she turned around and paced towards Art, “mask so that the Spirit doesn’t just show up and murder us or reality hopping so that we aren’t too late when whatever ghost owns the reality realizes its got guests?”

She almost envied how still Art had become once he had something to think about. Even Deca stood next to him, its processing light indicating it was listening to every word as it waited for an order.

“And don’t say split up,” she interjected before Art could even think to say a word.

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” he sighed, “yeah that’s a hard choice.”

Rule: 7 lines from something recent

Thanks @imbrisvastatio for tagging me! I now get to show off my run-on sentences 😅

Ok so last 7 lines I wrote for Warhammer are:

The skid mark disappeared under a brown metal box and didn’t appear until two trees over. As if dragged under and then finally back on path. The color more of a fresh red than it had been before. “But not every ghost is a piece of soul that needs to rest. Some of them are just stories,” she looked to Art, sure he’d interrupt her. His eyes were alert as he looked around them. He followed the bloody skid mark just as easily as her and hardly paid any attention to the trees around them or the wind bells that popped up every now and then.

Thanks @winterandwords for the tag!

I think I'll put some Warhammer snips. Still very early WIP stage so these words are actually perfect for it.

Why

Sandrine rolled her eyes and looked back at the man, “did you know Mr. Leonate is a poet?” The Caretaker’s already bulging eyes stared at her in confusion, evidently unsure where to go with a question he so obviously knew nothing about. He gripped his piece of rope just a little bit harder even though Sandrine hadn’t taken even one step closer to the ledge. “A poet, a good one at that I’m told,” she nodded down at the trees as if they’d agree, “and in fact quite the heart breaker because of it. Didn’t you wonder why he was haunted?”

Dry (Dried)

“I’ll trade you protein bars if you have dried fruit,” she asked once the small bag was full. Sandrine turned around to see Art shake his head, “do you know how much dried mango costs?”

“You’re a big guy, gotta want protein,” she tried.

Cry At Algabe’s easy refusal, Lorne put his arms down. His dark eyes still on Sandrine and a pout on his lips. But if that was the measure of his disappointment, Sandrine would live. She’d worried that Lorne was the type of child to cry easily, which would make the whole trip more than torture. “Not heavy,” Lorne pouted, a quick and small stamp of his foot which resulted in a flash of the same bright white she’d seen in his eye.  It was gone as fast as a stomp could be performed and without any fanfare, Lorne turned, almost stumbled, and left them.

Try

The silence sat between them all and it was that that finally caused Algabe to sit with his back straight and eye the toddler, “come on bud, what did you say about that big space station we’re traveling to?” Lorne nodded once with understanding, “loud.” Algabe motioned his hand in a circle for the child to continue, “and?” Lorne’s forehead wrinkled in thought, his tongue out as he seemed to try and remember their conversation, “and quiet.” “Ah,” Sandrine nodded, “loud and quiet. Everything I needed to know.”

ToT Crew:

Aanor: Is the one that usually kills cockroaches for Lyle. Doesn't actually notice them otherwise. 100% would let an infestation just happen.

Ezra: Does not care about the bug but does care what it means. He is now judging whoever's house he is in. Sorry. He does kill it at least so it can't have little babies. (If this is his house, he has now ordered the staff to "take care of it")

Kerr: Wouldn't be phased but would make someone bet her money that she could eat it. She'd win that bet and no one would look at her the same. (Bet started with her adamant that it probably tastes fine once roasted)

Lyle: Scream then pretend he didn't. Just the most highest pitch scream you've ever heard. Gets others to kill it but if push comes to shove he will stomp on it.

Warhammer Crew:

Sandrine: She is quietly horrified. Leaves the room.

Art: Casually kills it. Informs the homeowner so that they can do something about that.

Malou: Same as Art. Has caught one before to scare Sandrine with but only once cause then Sandrine wouldn't let her touch her for like 3 days. (Gross you touched it!!!!)

Algabe: Loudly horrified. He will now tell everyone that your house has cockroaches. Not in a mean way of judging you but because he's just so flabbergasted that those creatures could even get so close.

Traitor Crew:

Vira: Yell and then climb the nearest bit of furniture. Continue to point at the last place she saw it without telling anyone WHAT she saw.

Meeri: She's on the computer when she sees it crawl across the wall. She continues to do whatever she was already doing. Telling no one about the house intruder.

Hadiyah: Calm. Would grab it and throw it out a window or something. Would be the one to catch the one scaring Vira after she figured out what exactly was happening.
