Accident

Jan24

This is to [personal profile] clare_dragonfly‘s prompt to this bingo card.

It fills the “Accidental Marriage” square.

It is part of my Space Accountant setting and comes after Taking Chances.

“So you see…” First Mate Cleonorayen Clyd looked uncomfortable. Genique would have felt bad for her, but she was rather busy feeling bad for herself.

“No, I don’t see.”

“It’s space law. It only has to last a year – but it has to last a year.”

“Do you have any idea how much a kid could bankrupt me in a year?”

“I don’t suppose ‘you should have thought of that before you signed the bunking form’ will fly, will it?”

“I was asking for a bigger bed! The Quartermaster said I had to!”

“Ah.” Clyd laughed. “That explains everything.”

Friday Show-and-Tell

Jan24

Shamelessly copied from [personal profile] jjhunter:

Friday, every Friday, I invite you (yes, you!) to share with me key Dreamwidth (or LJ, or Tumblr, or anything else) posts from the last week. They can be one or more of your own posts, posts of others you’d recommend, interesting discussions, linkspams, tiny delights, whatever stands out to you from the last seven days that you’d like to highlight. Assume that I’ve been away and pining too true and catch me up on what matters to you.

In return, I will make a point of commenting on at least one post of those you share, and I encourage others to do the same.

Newcomers, lurkers and long-time commentators equally welcome

First and Last Words – almost done!

Jan24

First Words of Yesterday:

The dance was… loud. Loud and crowded were the first things Kailani noticed, followed quickly by is that a bar?

Last words:
“I don’t think it’s a problem, is it?” She glanced at Taro. Why would he be offended?

yesterday was a weeee bit scant; I wrote 935 words of Addergoole, bringing my total to 24,689 (Goal: the 25000 finish line).

Today, I’ll cross that finish line and then some, and then we’ll see where we’re at!
