Kotor II: Ruin, Mystery, Dreams: Part 10 – Sniper Shot

Omg so stuck on this chapter. Trying to finish it by the end of the week because Voltron has eaten my life (SHIROOOOOOO) and while my best friend isn’t as wildly enamoured of it as I am, he said it makes him want to play SWTOR again so I am in favour of that because my hottie Sith Inquisitor has been neglected for a bit. Anyway, lots of copy-pasta here, but also ship ship ship.

I’m not sure I’m fully happy with this chapter as it is, so I may edit it tomorrow or the day after. I already added in a couple of edits to earlier chapters – notably, a little paragraph about Bao-Dur in chapter 5. (he’s good with kids, basically)

Also because Shiro is my new husbando (yes, already) I might start writing a fliffy fluffy ShOCmancefic. Oops. And I started a ‘Takashi’ Shepard. Dang, Vanguards are squishy in ME1.

Part 10: Sniper Shot

 

He’d been right, shockingly – the first thing she did when she got back to the ship, after Mical finished fussing over her many half-healed injuries in the medbay, was sleep. Maybe her weirdness had only been from trying to maintain too much control when she was dead tired.

While she slept, he leaned casually into the doorway of the medbay. “What’s the final tally?”

Mical pushed reading glasses up his nose and brought his datapad around. “Immense. Twenty-three burns of varying sizes and degrees, including three right in the centre of her chest, one through her left arm, and a long one across her side. She’s also absorbed a large amount of energy; the scanner picked up abnormal readings from her internal organs. I’m not sure if it’s from the burns or the energy, but… Also, eleven contusions, mostly across her back and arms, and a concussion. All in various states of recovery; thank the Force she’s been healing herself the whole time or else I’m not sure she would have come back to us.” Continue reading

Kotor II: Ruin, Mystery, Dreams: Part 5 – Running and Drinking

Lots of juicy stuff in this chapter, hope you’ve been looking forward to it as much as I have! I had to break Nar Shaddaa in half so there’s more to come next time.

Inspiration track for this chapter is Inner Universe.

Part 5: Running and Drinking

 

Nar Shaddaa was filthy, packed and miserable. The crowds that trudged hopelessly through layer on layer of streets made it so easy for anyone to get shanked by anyone else. Refugees, former soldiers, thieves and thugs and Mandalorians staked out little empires, hiding amongst each other’s company, asking no questions and giving no answers. Glitbiters and spiceheads sprawled in doorways and alcoves, ignored even by the ignored. Enclosed by endless walls of skyscrapers, firmly under the thumb of the Hutts, a smoggy sky was all most of them could glimpse of a life beyond this place. The roads, coated in nameless substances, crunched and oozed beneath countless feet, and the very air felt like it was coated in desperate oil.

To Atton, it was the closest thing resembling home. Continue reading

Kotor II: Ruin, Mystery, Dreams: Part 3 – Silver

Now that everything’s all straightened out again, I have to do something to occupy myself… and why not finish my replay of this game and the related fanfic to boot? My dreams are going overtime now that I’m back, though. I suspect that all the energy that was going towards adventuring is now channeled into my brain at night and that makes them extra weird. Also, I am in love still with this Kotor 2 LP which burrows into every possible bit of plot and is entertainingly written too. But I’m still going to play it my way, too.

Also, it is stupid hot and humid here. Can I go back to Norway?

Part 3: Silver

 

“Grab on to something!” Atton yelled back into the hold of the shuttle. “This is about to get rough real fast!”

Heart beating slightly faster, Selyn took hold of the hand grips by her seat, her restraints fastened tightly. They were being fired upon as they flew over the partially restored surface of Telos. Who, what, why, no way to find out, only to trust in Atton’s skill and hope they survived. It reminded her strongly of how she’d felt when she’d been dropped on- no, best not to think about that. She concentrated on her breathing instead.

She felt the ship kick forward with a small explosion, heard Atton curse, felt gravity begin to assert its hold on the shuttle… Continue reading
