For most cases, I think it simply shifts the point at which consent is given to when the tiny makes their presence known to the giant and/or puts themselves within the giant’s reach.

It me IRL

This was great social scenery in Alpine. Wesson keeps running hot and cold, and I think you do an excellent job keeping Gray—someone we’ve come to know is worldly and competent—plausibly mired in self-doubt.

I’m a little uncertain what was going on with Wesson, his cup, and the bond inspection. I get that it was an opportunity for Gray to observe Wesson and make internal commentary, but why did Wesson want her there? By the end he had lost interest in her. Why did Wesson make a point of having Gray return his cup to the mess tent, and why did the mess corpsman not want to touch it? Was Wesson just trying to show everyone that Gray was his to command?

Missus? What rank was that? Was it a specialty?

Warrant officer, natch.

The whole exploration of the ethics of trading favors with officers makes me curious if female officers similarly extract favors from corpsmen. Clark and Harper sound like they might be grateful for such an opportunity.

I was drunk when you posted this, and I’m hungover now, so the attempts at describing the flavor of whiskey were extra special.

On that note, I’m somewhat dissatisfied by the poker game being so blurry to Gray (and therefore to us). You write dialogue so well, and the Gray-Wesson-Finch triangle is so integral to this story that I think we deserve to hear all the quips and backpedaling. Particularly since the ultimate consequence is Wesson pulling a Cosby.

@SmolChlo I ain’t goin’ nowhere.

@sloppy_amy You’ll just have to spend the night in a stocking.

“It’s amazing that whoever made the Algo—all those governments, those business people—didn’t see this coming,” Gray mumbled. “It’s like they got tired of managing their own shit and gave up."

I’m gonna think of this every time I read about how our society refuses to save itself from Covid-19.

@Technomage I’m working on a long post about dark fantasies. One thing that’s very clear is that when sexual desires are involved we don’t trust people to have honest motives.

For those of you who like to imagine themselves being used as a living fleshlight, do you prefer to be held face-up or face-down? I’m told I make scary faces.

@kisupure I love any situation where tinies punch above their weight.

@technomage No higher praise; thank you!

@blehb Flipping the telescope around is always instructive.
