A confident smile was the only thing standing between Bub and the fear that lingered in his psyche. It was easy to pretend that everything was fine, the two men had escaped with their lives intact, after all. But the line between panic and feigning ignorance was blurring, and Bub was finding...
Any signs of Bub’s prior confusion disappeared completely at the man’s mention of Bub saving his ass. Ever one with a small ego, Bub likely didn’t even realize how his chest slightly puffed out at the man’s statement. Though the bottom half of his face was still obscured by the respirator he...
Their combined attentions were momentarily away from Bub and his injuries and were now on his unlikely counterpart. Allies in any form were a difficult thing to come by in Luna, or maybe they were difficult to come by for Bub, who had an interesting way of showing loyalty to those who trusted...
Though disheveled and scary from the outside, the maintenance tunnels made for an unexpected refuge. Not so dissimilar from the man that still accompanied Bub. There wasn’t much of him Bub could spy from the cover he wore over his limbs and face, and there was no denying his own vehement...
The soft hum of the spacecraft beneath his body told Bub that the large machine was idling. Whenever the engines pushed the vehicle into motion there was a gentle reverberation that could be felt even through the thick hull separating him from space. Except, normally the soft hum could be felt...
The extent of the supernova that flowed in Bub’s veins was far from known, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t above a little bit of research. Scavs were deplorable human beings who found profit in the suffering of others, which meant they were also expendable. Bub was never one to have morals or...
The weightlessness of suspension in zero grav was a sensation matched by little else. Except, of course, the bubbly concoction Bub found himself sipping. The liquid fire overturned his stomach in ways that made him feel like his body wasn’t attached to anything else. So often he found his mind...
LIEUTENANT BURTON ──
While gratitude was an engrained teaching of the TAG core values, Tess had never felt it more than when her recruit was temporarily blinded by the newly placed helmet on her head. Tess’s usually strong resolve and lack of expression was replaced by a blush that starkly...
LIEUTENANT BURTON ──
There were a dozen ways Tess could have felt about both her recruit and her assignment to take care of her, but the Lieutenant wouldn’t let any of them show. The hardened woman kept her emotions bottled up, buried so deep within herself that at times she wondered if she...
LIEUTENANT BURTON ──
Though many years had passed since Tess went through the grueling process that was bootcamp and initial intake into the TAG, she still remembered a few details sharply. Many cold and rainy days spent running through mud in an attempt to triumph over the obstacle course...
LIEUTENANT BURTON ──
“Lieutenant Burton.”
A hand rose to a soldier’s forehead on instinct, recognizing the sound of her superior officer’s voice, though not the title she had recently been given. Tess was exactly what the Terran Authority Group would consider to be an exemplary soldier...
FRENCH FRIES' ONEXONE SEARCH
After joining a certain chicken site in 2011, I discovered the brainrot that is rping. I've been doing it off and on since then. Writing started as a fun distraction from homework and has turned into a much needed creative outlet. My degrees are all number related...
So everything got laggy and I was like 'oh no my browser is gonna crash better get a screenshot,' so I got a screenshot and then my goddamn browser crashed. Sorry for the post in pic form :c
What was that supposed to mean? 'Else you wouldn't have Sammy here, would you, huh?' Was she supposed to feel privileged that her newly assigned partner had, she assumed of course, more experience than her along with an age difference that shouldn't matter, but still really did? She wouldn't...
All she had thought about while Clio spoke and Samson and herself did not, was how this person was apparently not a fan of calling people by their given names. First she had called Berezi honey, which didn't make sense because if she was going to compare Berezi to a food, why would she compare...
