The next day was... quiet.
It wasn’t like I could afford to do nothing, but nothing is exactly what I did. I think I slept a solid ten hours, grabbing Lucy close and not letting her go, even when she complained sleepily about having to get up.

“Okay!” Sharp said the moment we were back home. She raised her arms over her head and stretched hard until her limbs shook. “That was kind of fun! Plus now, I’m basically a gun expert, right?”

“We’re ready to go, captain!” Twenty-Six said. Her face was displayed on a little screen currently capturing the inside of the engineering room at the back of the Sappho. She grinned and gave them a wave before falling back onto a seat and buckling herself in. 2024-12-08 18:45:08 +0000 UTC View Post

When her magic pushed into an area, there was always a slight bit of feedback. It would take over the dark, making it her own.
There were few circumstances where shadows were owned by someone else. Most people didn’t think of their own shadow, and if asked, wouldn’t place m...

I was right, Sharp’s taste in clothes was questionable at best.
It wasn’t so much that she picked poor pieces. She found some nice pieces. A blouse here, some nice pants there. She had a good eye for what fit, though she did lean more towards the baggy s...

I got my Nine Lives before we made it to my place. Mostly, that came about because we had to switch from riding the train to taking a bus, and the bus was not going to show up for a solid half hour, and only if it was on time... which it wasn't going to be.
