“B-But you’re dead!” He cowered. She furrowed her eyebrows and slapped him across the face. “Get it together, Al!”

He fights so fluidly. No hesitation. Did the romance of flesh and metal poison him? I long for his forgiveness, Dr. D.

“You alright, lass?” I nod, catching sight of the black rag flapping on the mast. Jolly Roger. I should have drowned.

“Can ya please control yer kid?” The young woman shrieked at me. Mimi stomped. “I am not a child! I am 400 years old!”

She shrugged. “As much as I want to, I can’t take all of the glory. You just couldn’t resist Brooding Pretty-Boy.”

It’s coming!
(And I’m pretty excited.)
My piece, Chaos Standard is coming along. Check out my synopsis! (It’s slightly vague and tentative.)
I’m also searching for some writing buddies who are involved in shades of the fantasy genre, and are going to take their writing seriously (as in, no unusual appearances by ninjas and rainbow-unicorns to make up for words at zero-hour!). I’m all for light-hearted adventure pieces, though! If you’re particular, Standard is sort of an epic-fantasy sword-and-magic-storm. A bit darkish in mood and atmosphere (literally), but there’ll be good times and warm moments. I may not be able to respond to emails on a daily basis due to my occupation as a college student, but I can throw some hellos/updates/links via Twitter.
If you’re interested, you can nanomail my profile, warriorcomplex (in link above), or leave me a message in the comments or from the “Contact RNR” page.
But anywhoo, regardless of who’s with/not with me, I’m still rolling, hehe.
