Tracking the fugitive Firewire all the way from their home planet, Celerity and Slipstream find themselves in the Telluvia system; a heavily populated holiday world for the rich and unprincipled. "Rescued" from the sewers by Nuori-deuchainn laboratories, Celerity finds herself thrust into the unwilling role of "specimen", to pay off her supposed debts.
It is up to Slipstream - angry and resentful, blaming her for everything that happened - to not only forgive his aunt, and rescue her from Madame Pabishka's talons before the gentle femme is completely redesigned and reprogrammed, but also somehow catch the fleeing criminal and save his sister, too.
This story is still in progress. I am (very, very slowly) adding bits to it, but the plot needs some looking at.
For some reason, Dreamwidth doesn't seem to like italics very much, either - I'm not sure why it does it, but every now and then it'll put line breaks in where I don't want them, and I can't seem to get rid of them. (As the actual code is fine.) I hope it's not too distracting.

keaalu( Firewire still sat cowering where he’d fetched up in the aftermath of Slipstream’s assault; his hands were still up on his chest, where the streaky blue imprints of the other mech’s fingers were visible. ''Give me Lucy’s command cylinder, and I might make your future a tiny bit more comfortable,'' Slipstream instructed, managing to keep his voice from going too shaky. )

In other news, I HAVE actually passed 50,000! ^_^ But 682 of those words are in chapter 11. So... go fig?

keaalu( For a creature that would have spent most of its life living in a sort of HIVE, Fred had got awfully jumpy all of a sudden, Slipstream mused, glaring, as he plucked Fred down off the top of his head. ''If you really HAVE to cling to me, you can ride on my shoulder, not my helm,'' he groused. )

keaaluEdit: I'm really not sure why the strange formatting keeps cropping up in my italics. The code is fine, so it must be something peculiar happening between it and the stylesheet or something?
( She already has her foot on the little shuttle’s ramp when he calls her name, and a strong, gentle hand interleaves its fingers with her own. She doesn’t want to turn back and look at him, because she already knows she’s going to miss him... She looks anyway, and their gazes lock; her anxious blue with his sombre crimson. ''You WILL take care, won’t you?'' )

Note: Yeah, it's already developed past what it started out as, and Lara's revealed something she'd not told me before, too. And why 80,000? Isn't NaNo 50,000? Well, I'm trying to beat my 2007 figure, which is the only year I count as a success (as I only scraped through in 2008 and it SUCKED).
