Left my sense of direction Outside.It's been a week or so since she somehow managed to drive her car into the Deck, and Abby has never gotten so turned around so often in a seven day period. Seriously, whether it's ending up in halls she never planned to be in in Heart Castle or turning corners in Town and suddenly having to retrace, she's thinking ( Read more... )

Maybe it's the recent wedding and everything else that's happened lately, but it seems that Galen's been on Calypso's mind.

Come stir her out of her thoughts before she digs herself too deep in them.

Avery's resignation had been difficult to deal with for reasons beyond the professional difficulties it proposed. There was the personal disappointment, as well-- the former Jack had been her protégée, after all, and of course the young woman's condition itself was hard to swallow.

For the most part, though, it had been the professional ( Read more... )

One must find calm wherever possible, especially in times like these. He'd had a blissfull wedding, a delightful one half of a honeymoon. He'd left Diamond Castle properly for the first time since he arrived. His newlywed wife had lost her best friend. His Jack and friend had lost a rank she loved. One baby had become three.

Isaac's had a few ( Read more... )

[Knocking her head against a wall.]There have been better weeks. Sieben, to begin with. Nicholas had disappeared off Deck, presumably to handle things, which had left Urania with little to do. Other than spearhead clearing out Sieben's office and packing away his things. So that's what she's been doing, when she's been allowed. It's a good ( Read more... )

The lilies are in season in the Diamond Gardens. Their sweet, funeral smell is heavy on the air. Everything is as immaculate as always, with the lawns manicured and hedges trimmed. But on this morning of the 30th June, 2012, extra care has been taken and some additions made.

( an evening wedding )

Three weeks ago, Urania Apollonides breezed into a small but well-appointed shop in the Spade district and ordered the following: one wedding gown, one matron of honor dress, one junior bridesmaid dress with a silver bolero, one flower girl dress and two bridesmaid dresses to all be done for a June 30th wedding. To her credit, Margo Pivoni did not ( Read more... )

Every year, she hopes that somehow it will get easier to face this day, and every year she realizes that it doesn't. It's hard, after all, to face a birthday without the presence of the person you entered the world with.

So the first part, at least, of Calypso's day will be spent in quiet reflection-- taking the children to visit the grave of their ( Read more... )

She had really, sincerely, truly been hoping that she had the flu. Even though she was virtually never ill and there was no virus going around the Deck, she'd mostly convinced herself she had one and she'd be over it in a week or so. The five pregnancy tests just had been because she'd been curious about how they worked. But given every single one ( Read more... )

All of the Heart higher Numbers seem to be upping and leaving on their own little missions. Both Blythe and Jordan are mysteriously stepping off. Wren's reshouldering the workload which has kept her busy the last few days. She's starting to think perhaps it's time they got more challenges happening in their own Suit.

Though she won't say as such ( Read more... )
