Wordslingin'

Time for some thrilling heroics! The good news is that Our Heroes (tm) did *not* die in the face of an elite merc squad, four Mordred GRELS, and an exploding mine. The bad news is that we've got a dozen Gears closing in on our position and lookin' for trouble.

All combat, all the time! In this week's session, Our Heroes (tm) attempt to capture the fleeing Marius Wallcraft, Bad Guy extraordinaire, as he withdraws his "running away" money from his bank… which just so happens to be right in front of the main Prince Gable police station. Things do not go as well as they might have.

Koreshi Chronicles - Chapter V: Falling

The wind was loud, up here. Almost louder than the elans and Gears ten floors down. It rushed in from the Great Trench, down the streets, between the buildings, up and off.

Lyta stood perched on the windowsill, looking down. It was a long way down. She swallowed, glanced behind her into her room of the hotel suite. Still alone. At least for a little while longer.

The wind rustled the stray hairs that had escaped her braid, pulled at her shirt, tugged at her pant hems. Lyta held the sides of the window-frame as the wind danced between her fingers.

"I love you," Ti had said. "Bye."

There was nothing more to say.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and jumped.

Koreshi Chronicles - Chapter V : Letting go

“He said what?!”

Lukas sighed. The conversation was unfortunately going exactly the way he’d expected it would--the only way it could. “He terminated our business relationship, at least for the time being.”

Lyta jumped off the sofa arm where she’d been sitting and began to pace. “He can’t do that!”

Koreshi Chronicles - Chapter V : Making sense

No matter how he replayed the conversation in his mind, Lukas couldn't change the outcome.

Koreshi Chronicles - Chapter V : Things clearing up

She was sitting on a veranda sipping tea. Before her was laid out a lovely little set, complete with milk, cream, two kinds of sugar and an assortment of cakes. The tree above was budding with green leaves that lent it a surreal colour while letting most of the sun’s rays through. A slight breeze rustled the thickets of the small garden that were still dry from the winter.

Koreshi Chronicles - Chapter V : A truth wrapped in a lie

A cycle and a half ago they walked into a warehouse in Mainz and he didn’t know what to say. Lyta appeared utterly unafraid and Todd looked as serious as any killer Ti had ever seen. He didn’t know anything about them; didn’t know then how terrified Lyta was for Lukas or how gentle protective but gentle Todd really was. All he knew after that meeting was that they were fiercely loyal to Lukas and that after a lifetime they had come back into his life.
