RvB is a lot like radiation in that you can only expose yourself to a certain amount of it in a period of time before it starts to inflict status effects

🪅: I AM PROUDEST OF TOUCHSTONE. I finished Touchstone this year and it started as a joke, it's not for everyone, but the good stuff in Touchstone is the best work I've ever written.

Stumpy already knows about Touchstone but for anyone new around here, it's what happened when I said "I bet I can write Master Chief/Spartan Miller. For the bit. It would be funny." And then it completely got away from me while I explored the Chief's grief over Cortana and general bad mental state before Halo 5, Miller being an anxious nerd, and then Roland took up residence in the walls of this thing and I had to figure out what I thought of him too.

Chief and the guy from Spartan Ops have an extremely stupid bad idea little fling trying to be nice to each other in a way that matters for just a little while. Roland is so bad at communicating his desire to be friends with Miller that the Master Chief (also bad at this) takes pity on him. Chief has a heartbreaking conversation with one of his sisters (it's Linda.) There's a really funny bit with a piece of plastic. There's nsfw that was written purely for the characters but people who know more about this kind of thing than me said it was pretty hot so I'll take it.

🔮: Oh that's easy. I'm going to make them kiss.

I've been revitalized and healed and made more insane and it's going to happen somehow.

💞: I LOVE YOU HAVE A GOOD NEW YEAR TOO

Extraction - for the title ask game

Hi stumpy :3

fires this across your bow like a kabura-ya

Doctor Martin Serrington enters the surgical suite at 0659 hours, fully scrubbed up and prepared to get the job done as quickly as he can.

He hates this procedure.

He’s ultimately responsible for a hundred of S-deck’s Spartans, and the care and keeping thereof. He has assistants, sure, but they report to him just as he reports to the Infinity’s CMO Dr. Kelley. 

Martin would much rather that his Spartans come back unhurt, or at most mildly injured, because the part of his job that he actually likes is tinkering with the S-IV’s internal balances, working to make them more stable, more lethal, more… more, and he might be good at patching them up but he doesn’t like it, even though and especially because they treat life-threatening injuries like minor bumps and scrapes (like a certain Commander he might care to name, in fact).

But this procedure, where he and his team just… strip the dead for parts like an old car, feels wrong. 

And he hates it. Most of his staff do, too. 

The ones that don’t get quietly removed from the procedure’s roster. If he’s going to be cutting bits out of dead heroes, he wants it done quickly and by people with the appropriate distaste for the subject.

The man he can’t remove from the roster, however, is the Informatics Engineering officer hovering in the corner, accompanied by two technicians and an innocuous looking device.

“Alright, people,” he says by way of greeting, “let’s get a move on.”

you were right, Tacoma was a fun game that I liked a lot :o)

:0 you played it, yaaaay!

I should replay it again, now that it’s been a few years, but I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Having a physical avatar is fun until you get gripped and carried around like an unruly kitten. It's still fun, just not for you.

@poisonheadcrabsalesman wanted Roland to get grisped like a pathetic little cat and I simply could NOT say no and thus this was born

(bonus render under the cut!)

Next! for the ask game prompt

Four sentences, all carefully brewed to cause maximum emotional damblage

“kh—Coffee?” She manages, not really even looking at the other woman. If she doesn’t see the uniform, part of her can pretend that Zhoun is just a new neighbor she doesn’t know well yet. “‘r soda?” “Coffee, thank you,” Mira answers, and Lizzy retrieves the bag of coffee she’d last used— Jared’s last package home had included a bag of what his letter had called ‘S-town Brew’, with the Spartan Corps’ logo emblazoned on the front.
