From theatrical_muse: 'What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.' Do you agree or disagree?Oh, I agree. The more attacks you survive, the more you know how to survive. You get practice and a good arsenal of tactics and methods of counter-attack. Just look at the difference between a battle-hardened soldier and a raw recruit. I rest my case. [grins at Vila] And you ( Read more... )

From theatrical_muse: If...'If' is a little word that shouldn't be used in the past tense. It's useless worrying about what might have been. Not that I followed my own advice on Homeworld when I kept wondering what would have happen if I'd convinced Vila to come with me, or if I'd stayed with him. As I said, that sort of thing is an utter waste of time when you ( Read more... )

From theatrical_muse: LoyaltyI recently found that Bayban survived that explosion, due to the wormhole or whatever it was to Homeworld closing down at the same time. He had the cheek to accuse he of disloyalty. Well, it works both ways. I heard him telling Vila that he might have to get rid of me, and I know he had something more permanent than a pink slip in ( Read more... )

From theatrical_muse: Describe a chance encounter that changed your life.

From theatrical_muse: Write about a mother (your own or someone else's).I'd rather not, thank you very much. I hardly remember my own one; she died in a factory accident when I was three, and she was so feckless she left me nothing but memories of a succession of 'uncles', and I ended up as a ward of the state ( Read more... )

From theatrical_muse: What have you been missing lately?I don't miss. My reputation as a gunhand depends on it. If I hit someone in the hand or the kneecap, then that's exactly what I was aiming for. Of course, it takes practice, at least an hour a day. The first time I do miss, it'll be time to retire to a house with gingham curtains on a nice safe planet with ( Read more... )

From theatrical_muse : Write about an overheard remark you weren’t supposed to hear.It was more than a remark. It was a conversation between Bayban and Sherm. I heard them talking so I stopped outside the room and listened; with a nutter like Bayban, it always pays to know what’s going on ( Read more... )

Hah! The colour of the fur Vila likes me to wear!

From theatrical_muse: What is the greatest sacrifice you've made for love?It was the other way round for me. I walked away from Vila because I'd had this silly dream of making a fresh start on a new world for years and blown it up into the answer to all my problems and self-hatred. It wasn't. It was two years of boredom and missing him and being angry with him ( Read more... )
