WHAT I LEARNED IN BOATING SCHOOL IS -

TEST DRIVE MEME



HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

mmmm delicious copypasta

[ She doesn't let him off the hook at all. He's that fish that's been hooked and left in the boat flopping around, gasping. When he's finally about to be put out of his misery, he's set free to swim around.

But the hook and line are still in him, just with leeway to do what he wants until she pulls it again.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

[ He isn't sure how much he'll need to drink to forget all of this. To forget how he feels when he's with her and in the past, how she'd raise his spirits with such ease. Before she gets the chance to walk far enough away that he'd have to chase after her, he takes a step toward her back and he knows that she expected it.

But he's just a pawn anyway. The least he can do is be an honest one, on is own terms.

He reaches for her, hand just below the back of her shoulder.

If it had been you, I wouldn't have hesitated. Even after you pressed the button. You are not disposable to me, Jessica.

[ The touch ghosts against her, lifting but lingering close while sliding down then pulling away. He doesn't disguise the gruff sigh when he finally does move away from her with his shoulders hunched all the way into the club, even as he sits down. He just needs a moment to clear his head, so he presses it into both of his hands, covering his eyes. He feels nauseous.

Leave it to a woman to do that.
