    Private A shallows, a secret

    Out flew the chasers. Invaluable tools turned to brutal missiles that struck against the wreck-hounds knife-pointed skull. One struck first. Ripped a hole through the bone. Tore away at scales and chunks of flesh that hissed and steamed fresh gouts of greys and black. The second struck just as...

    "A riot of colors?" the Deva asked, his eyes scanned up to the ceiling, as if looking through the boards and mortar that surely laid there behind them. "Aye," he said with a nod, his a happy swish tail. "S'pose you could call it that," he added, glad for the memory that played in his mind. "The...

    Private Upon Hired Wings

    Wooden propeller blades twift-twift-twift through the crisp wind as the dual shroud engines hummed steady with their work, pushing the Narcisca through the air. The shroud-expansion design, venting the trace threads of shroud up into the the lift-balloons that carried the sky-ship across the...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    Moon gold eyes came back to regard the Boneknitter. "Favorite place?" he asked her, cant his head left. "Well, suppose it depends now don't it?" he went on asking. "Can a sailor really call any one place his favorite?" he grinned, and took up his wine laden cup, gave it a tilt and gentle swirl...

    Private So Say the Stars

    Param stared, big eyed, at the still lidded bowls upon his tray as they sat on the ledge of fountain. His eyes flit toward Mahsain. "Oh," he smiled big, eyes squinting. Nod. "Few things beat a good haul of dumplings, Miss Roshan, never you doubt that," he laughed and unlidded his own collection...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    Param smiled the wider as she accepted. Offered it up the more with a raise of the bottle. But she got up and leaned over the bar. Snagged some glasses and sauntered off. The pilot blinked, and watched the knitter mosey over to a table, and sit herself down. He looked about, and followed...

    Private So Say the Stars

    With a clap and a nod and a tap of his toes, Param nod eagerly. "You can indeed, miss, you can in-deed!" he rubbed his hands with excitement, blacks of his eyes wide with the readiness, his tongue licked over his lips as he bounced a happy little bounce. "Lets see, lets see," Of all the things...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    Param eyed the Bulls as they charged about. Shoving a sod here, and clapping a bastard there. Another click of the teeth came from the Deva, and his tail was full puffed and flicking with an annoyance. Bruised and battered as he was, he wasn't so fond of shore-born officials, no matter where he...

    Private So Say the Stars

    He peeped over his shoulder to spy on the Navigator, when she took off quick as a bolt. He blinked, looked about as if some ghost there about the outlook would give him an answer to this too casual mystery. Instead, he settled on a laugh and followed after, down the steps and out the door...

    Something in the corner of his eyes glint. Had his pupils go full as black moons in an eclipse. A bottle, end over end and as it sailed. He ducked his head down and it careened over and smashed into so many little pieces that scattered across the floor. A rogue "Fuck you!" from across the room...

    Private So Say the Stars

    He did see how the serpent glowed clear, and how the flyer looked all the more distant through the cosmic haze above them. The light of the moons scattered across the sky. Only three of the sisters clear in the aubergine soup of the firmament. Still tickled pink on the the distant horizon where...

    Private So Say the Stars

    Steps sounded up the spiral way. Soft and careful like, though the subtle click of claw tapped along each plank on the climb. "Seeing any familiar faces up there?" the young sailor said with an easy smile. "Always did like lookin for the Jumper and the Flyer," he stopped beside her, and leaned...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    In the Waters, the great beast closed on the Vellamo. Its tattered fin raised high as it sliced through the surf. Closer it swam. Closer. With every breath of lung and pump of heart. The shroudengines chugged. Hissed. Their hammers slow to strike. Their rings maligned as the air in the engine...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    Clawed hand held tight, as legs pumped with kicks, and lungs pushed out brine and stench breath after hard breath. "Alive Jens," he said through eyes sealed shut. The crackle and hiss about the impact of the shroudshot beating against the drums of his ear with press and rolls. Turned his...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    Beneath the waves, the sun's warmth turned colder in the crush. Param blinked as curtains of silvered air bubbled and blinded him and the currents pulled at him. Swept him towards the curl of the horrid fish as it twist and snapped its jaws round the end of Beth, the dingy. Muted as the crunch...

    Private So Say the Stars

    Param cocked a brow as the walkers-by bumped against his Navigator. His chest puffed full with breath, and his shoulders widened their span as he lift his chin sharp at them. A barb on his tongue, ready to loose, but they had already grumbled on their way. "Pfft," the Kharsagan blew through...

    "A bloody knuckle buster?" he said, in disbelief. Threw one last punch that landed wet against the man-beneath-him's busted nose. "What do you go and take me for?" he let the man beneath him go and clapped his hands to better get rid of the blood. A bull-headed beastkin charged toward him...

    Prompt Trouble Calls

    A kick of the legs and a twist of the hips saw the Devah flip on top of the dwarfs, a smack across the brawlers mug, a splay of the palms and fingers to hold the mean bastard down as he swung his meaty hooks up in wild loops. Param laughed at the compliment. "Hire me on for a spell would...

    Open Catch a Ride: South Ilica, Harbor Village of Cisne

    "Going?" Param asked absently. His hands so firm about the ship wheel's spokes, his feet so firm upon the deck planks, he could hear little over rush of the wind, and feel less than the thrum of the ship, come coursing through his bones. Still, the pilot hummed. Etoile's voice, small as it could...

    Private A shallows, a secret

    There was a ringing in Param's ears. The hot sizzle of air there in between his skull, made him to feel all dizzy and set to spin. His eyes wide, his hands steady. While the shroudfire bolts bloomed into spouts of steam not a moment after. The salvo near enough to lift the water beneath the...
