that's a fun bloodline :-P

[little_gray_fox]

Oh hell yes.

So much to RP on :P

Indeed!

Speaking of, we should talk of many things, (whether pigs have wings?), like Ling and Mage!

It would be easier if you have my number, for talking, since my emailness has been sporadic. I'll email you when i get home ;)

That first section is fantastic. You capture the especial horror that a sensitive Kindred must experience when they're in a flying tin can.

Reminds me of the horror of vastness from Moby Dick. Take a dip in the ocean and go hella crazy.

I must confess that I have never read Moby Dick.

But it actually wasn't very hard to imagine. When I was younger, the notion that space had neither a bottom or a top freaked me out. I just imagined my house hanging on the side of a planet slowly spinning around in space, as it twirled around the sun - held there by perpetual motion -- let me say at th time the thought was enough to make me hide in bed for many pre-school days.

That. -and- night-time was the only time we could see where we were in space - nakedly. Our own dot amongst all those dots and that terribly sticky black in between.

~gets shivery~ Okay, maybe i'm not so OVER that fear ;)

You didn't tell me! But still, its well worth the wait. Haha, Papa Sallow's bucket analogy was awesome. I love the epigraph you used. It's incredibly relevant (creepily so) and Ava's slow ascent (descent?) into her new 'form' is beautifully paced. Can't wait to read more!

...seriously. Can't wait. I'm just sayin'.
