Posted by Civilian Thyr Th’arialat (Resident) in Consequences for Bad Decisions
Thyr had lasted about two hours in bed before he got bored, changed ever so carefully into the Orion wraps that were so comfortable when he was hurt, and hauled his sore backside into his living room. He settled in on the sofa and turned on an Orion soap, laying carefully with his injured side up and at rest. He didn’t expect Séan to be back anytime soon, he’d be at the hospital with the counselor girl for quite a while. So, he thought he had no reason to expect company.

On the screen the dramatic climax of convoluted character arc played out. The characters shouting, on edge, knives and guns raised as the anger and fear they’d secretly fostered busrt to the surface at a wild boil. For several tense moments nothing happened, then one finger slips, a shot is fired. That one spark is all it took for artfully framed violence to play out. Jezem entered the room, carrying a mundane grocery tote filled with fresh finds from the markets. Shivan had been awfully quiet of late so a visit was in order.

“Oi!” Jezem shouted as a woman stabbed another on the screen, “Get your lazy ass up and help me put this produce away.”
