    Since he's ... it would... mmmmm I want to say but I can't ... yet. It would give too much away.

    Sinjin probably worked it out, yes. And telling Hugo directly would have devastated Hugo at that time. Some lessons you need to wait until the student is ready to learn.

    When writing, it wasn't until that exact moment that I realized what an utter bastard Pendersliegh had to have been to do that to Hugo. To willingly put another human being through that, just to escape it yourself. yeah.... I can't blame him, it would be hell for some people, but still a bastard.

    So running a cursory phrase count over the Watchers, the term "Fuck Dottie" comes back a whopping 20 times. So... in the spirit of Stoker: FUCK DOTTIE

    Chapter Twenty-Seven Washington D.C. – November 23rd 1953 The familiar disorienting lurch, a momentary sensation of being stretched thin across time and space, then the sudden, solid return. Wojciech blinked, the faint ticking of the Watch fading from his ears. The air, thick and cool with the scents of cigarette smoke, pine cleaner, and something earthy, was markedly different from the Static Stream.

    Chapter 2

    Mike was so easy to be a friend to. He was wise, and brilliant, and as I said, I tried to date him when I was far too young to understand. And he was polite, and didn't care, just calmed my needy ass down, and got me to chill and just be his friend. He was the the man who picked me up when I was knocked down, and he fought my corner when I needed it. Mike, Mike was amazing.

    I was up all night last night talking to Ryan and Wil about this project. Lost track of time listening to Wil's old albums, and laughing at our... stupidity when we were kids. Ryan and I discussed the times as well. Both giving me some perspective on all of this. I am fortunate for them, and I hope I can do them both justice in this.

    It should be noted that this is part of the Ottawa Tales series of Short Stories, I will get into Ben in that series, and each of the guys in this. Now you should know that Ben... Ben took a long time. Because I was blind as a bat, and he was too quiet to make the first move. He did, however, finally get worked up enough to ... I'll tell the story in OT, I promise.

    Mike was also on a full ride, he was on another level tha the rest of us. Certified genius, the smartest person I ever knew. Couldn't get a date to save his life, but he was kind, generous, and smart. I passed many of my courses because of him tutoring me in math through much of University. His parents were also old Money, but he kept things humble. Never rubbed our faces in it, just ... he taught me how to budget, he taught me how to save, and he taught me so many things I needed to learn about managing my life. I didn't always listen, but then he was patient and always stepped in when he had to to put things right.

    That's fair, I will clarify tomorrow about Mike's income. It's actually really neat, he has a revenue stream from some of his work, residuals and the like. I will elxplain tomorrow. Thanks for the push on it.

    Hugo was an odd one, far too beautiful a man, but really kind and a real gentleman, like I've never dated anyone with that level of old fashioned brought up right kind of way. Walking me home, responding to things and his manners... like he'd always get up when I came into the room or left it. Old fashioned, but awesome

    Mike wasn't poor. And he didn't buy it either, just rented

    Brilliant is used as an expression of wonder.. As in Brillaint, what fun.

    So Hugo, Hugo began with a game. Not your conventional type of game either, that would be too easy, too mundane. No, this was a LARP. For the uninitiated, or young amongst you, it is NERD-topia, a Live Action Role Playing Game. Where intricate costumes bedeck players out to impress, one up, and outshine each other as they play characters. Think a cosplay convention, but you are the character you are dressed up as for a couple of hours every other week. Moscow, Friday nights, Save

    No Dottie does not, herself, have scales, that was a typo I've fixed it now. I mean she "PROBABLY" Has scales, LOL, but she's normally better at hiding them

    Chapter 26

    Kulai City – Æuum – Bravo Site The afternoon sun, a warm, golden cascade, spilled across the meticulously manicured lawns of the Kulai City Consulate. The air, thick and sweet, was perfumed with the heady scent of exotic, alien flowers, their petals unfurling in vibrant, improbable hues. A low, continuous hum of conversation, a rich tapestry woven from a polyglot of human languages and the diverse, often startling, freque

    Three times I was thrown out of my father's house. The first I was 13. The second at 14 and finally at 15. The system failed at every step of the way to step in and deal with it. Easier to ignore it and the boy that would come black and blue to school covered in bruises, no lunch... half asleep from lack of proper sleep. Easier than doing paperwork.
