    Thread: this town has no room for you
Post: RE: this town has no room for you

The refusal earns a raised eyebrow, the move forward even more so. Shaju stands like a marble statue in the rain, a silent monolith for Sunjata to throw himself against. The blade clatters to the wet ...

They exchange blows, a few nicks here, a few bruises there, and the rain increases in intensity. It hammers around them, muting the sound of the fight, muffling the sound of onlookers (if, indeed, the...

They are both still breathing, and if anything the anger is welcome. One would swear Shaju was smiling, but that's between he and Sunjata right now. So up they come again, pacing and circling. The rai...

Post: RE: this town has no room for you

The panther is a disappointment rather than a surprise, and the steel that shoots through eyes already like mercury makes that much very clear. Sunjata has chosen to debase himself further, though it ...

Circle, launch, circle, react. The boy dances a predictable dance, and his movements are near panicked in their clumsiness. Violence borne out of fear is never as effective as violence whose seeds wer...

The boy looks at Nate, looks at the crowd, looks at everything. Shaju, on the other hand, spends his time examining his blade, rolling the cuffs of his shirt to the elbow, taking in the ground around ...

Post: RE: on the heels of high tide

The curse, like the disrespect, is taken with the sort of infuriating indifference of the overly confident. Shaju pauses just beyond Nate's peripheral vision, in such a way that the Ascended will have...

Dawn breaks. The gauntlet has been thrown. And Shaju approaches, as he has done twice so far in his life, to face his Trial. To win at all costs. Does he bring a gun to this knife fight, this time? ...

Post: RE: on the heels of high tide

Nate does reach Shaju's feet, though he doesn't respond to the Ascended in any way that suggests he's managed to get under his skin. On the contrary - he's not even close. [say]"Are you quite finished...

First sunlight in Flowerbirth, and Shaju comes to say hello. He has chosen this place especially for Nate; a natural cavern which floods with every rise and fall of the tide, a cavern which has crack...

Post: RE: Unexplain the Unforgivable

Right, Nate. Right. Once it's clear that the Ascended is going to do the smart thing and go along with it, the man in LongNight's shadow wastes no time. There will be no marks on the sand come sunrise...

The torch dying and the fumble for the match are all the distraction he needs. It's a swift thing when you mean it, is death, and Shaju always means it. A leg will shoot out to take Declan's balance o...

Sorry Nate. Not tonight, you're not. It's entirely by chance that Shaju spots his opportunity earlier than planned. Because this has always been the plan, you understand, and were it not for luck an...

The darkness, of course, offers no response. Unfortunate, that - perhaps Declan would be able to have a conversation with the man who stands in those shadows, if he had not already determined that his...

Our little detective has a habit of biting off more than he can chew, it seems. There are eyes and ears all over Torchline, after all, and sooner or later they'll trickle right down that grapevine and...

He's been watching and waiting for this moment. Weeks in the making, one might call this. Or perhaps it's just a second's effort, snatched in a second too opportune to pass up. It's a few days into ...

He claps his hand in Zephyr's, a gesture both familiar and promising future business, and it's visible enough that he knows the boy will see it too. Oh, Kane has fingers in all the pies of Torchline, ...

Silence is golden, as they say, and for Shaju this is as close to a lovely stroll through the jungle as it gets. Yes, the boy is dragging his feet and that stupid wing to the point where he wonders if...
