NaNoWriMo - Day 26
Project: Sunward Daily word count: 1,064 Total word count: 43,538 Notes: Another slow day, but getting soooo close to The Heist (as I’m calling it now, though all that’s being stolen is data). I think the reason I’m struggling a bit here is because silly pantser me has very little idea of the details of the plan... Hopefully, my characters know what they’re doing and will tell me along the way.
Excerpt:
"That's all?" one of the others said - a woman taller than Blue with blonde hair cut short - her pale grey eyes fixing Blue with an amused glimmer. "Sure. We'll get right on that, why don't we. Should have it all for you by morning, no problem." The sarcasm practically dripped from her voice as she spoke, but before she could get to the denial stage of her speech, her partner took over.
"We can get it," the other woman said, this almost identical to the other one in height and bone structure, but complete opposite in skin and eye colour. "It'll take some time, but we can get it. Question is, how badly do you want it?"
The two of them had been introduced simply as Onyx and Opal, and though they hadn't been clear on who was who, Des had automatically assigned the black woman the name Onyx, while the white one became Opal in her mind. She could be wrong, but she doubted it mattered much: they were code names, anyway, and Des would never know their real names of if, in fact, they really were twins or if their likeness was a result of extensive surgeries.
