Six Sentence Sunday

This week’s offering is a special one, coming from a bit I’m SO EXCITED ABOUT that I’m writing for one @glitchvault74 starring his precious bean of an OC Apollo Ray, one synth detective dad, and one very flirtatious ghoul.

Nick’s silicone face continues to be grumpy. “I’m here on a case. Apollo is…new to the area, needed a place to stay and a guide, so he’s tagging along with me.”

“Ahah. Well, I’ll be happy to take good care of our visitor if he ever needs a break from the ol’ robo-dick over here.” Hancock offers Apollo his most charming smile, with a nice slather of suggestive on top.

Apollo just looks confused. “I like Nick. Why would I want a break from him?”

Footlight: So. You wear tropical shirts but hate the beach.

Rig's Poem: If I were to regret // the way my life has gone // would that leave me wishing for // a path I know is wrong? // I'm lost, adrift, in the unknown // but at least I know who I am // I would not cast that all away // and risk a losing hand // with time and faith in my fate // perhaps I can one day be // at the meeting point at last // 'tween joy and identity

Brenner: Hey! This seat taken?

Rig: ??? Uh... No...?

Brenner: Great! Nice to see you again. ...Brenner? We met at the tea shop?

Rig: Oh! Moth shirt!

Brenner: Yeah! Do you like Mothman too?

Footlight: So, Rig, did you move back here by yourself?

Rig: ...No. My roommate came too.

Footlight: Roommate, huh? And where was your "roommate" during the fire...?

Rig: (mmph) At work... He called and said he'd stuck- be stuck at work. Then those people came looking for him... Tried to grab me instead... If he did something to make them mad then- I don't want them to find me. Or him. I don't want HIM to find me...

Footlight: Your roommate?

Rig: Yeah... It's weird, right? I've moved in with him 10 years ago. But I've just felt trapped. And he's been creepy at me. Calling me weird pet names. I'm glad I got away, but...
