"Awwh, are you KIDDING?" he asked at the new sign.

I looked. "IT area. Please do not tap on the glass. Programmers are sensitive creatures and it scares them."

"I dunno. I think it's funny," I grinned.

"Well I mean it's TRUE, but that's the point! This is racism!"

"To be fair, I think anyone would be unnerved with someone tapping a window three stories up," my fangs flashed in the moonlight.

A scream issued from inside anyway.

At first, it seemed nothing much. A loose bolt here. A disconnected wire there. Missing cookies. People joked about gremlins, till I saw one.

"Hello?"

It ignored me, chewing on a fuse before tossing it aside.

"Hey! Stop that!"

It hissed and fled, as an alarm sounded.

The reactor fault wasn't critical, and we avoided a meltdown. Luckily. Deep space evacuations never go well.

Since then, we keep a jar of cookies by the reactor core. It's worked so far.

Die Leute sagen, es ist heiß. Die Hitze wird gehen, einfach so.
Wenn wir weniger messen würden, hätten wir weniger Temperaturen. Niemand hat so gute Messungen wie wir. Viele Leute sagen, wir sollten weniger messen. Dann hätten wir weniger Temperaturen, das ist doch klar.

The boat was far too small for the six of us.

We'd cram ourselves aboard and row out to the center of the lake, in the mildest danger of sinking.

We'd all roll open the cans and wait; never for long.

With barely a ripple around her long supple neck, she'd rise; the lake's most famous rumor.

just a reminder that kinks aren't problematic just because they squick you out. If you don't understand why, for example, a rape survivor might have an NC kink, that's on you for being ignorant. Unless you can demonstrate the kink results in real harm even when done safely and consensually, you don't have any ground to stand on and you should probably just blacklist and move on instead of trying to claim a moral high ground from a position of ignorance.

She heard a gunshot. The more ears you have, the more precisely you can pinpoint the source of a sound.
She had it down to a 3 centimeter diameter sphere, but was less precise when she filed the report. Apartment number was close enough, in Alexa's experience.

"Die spinnen, die Römer" ist ein Wortwitz, falls das außer mir noch wer nicht wusste. Auf italienisch heißt das "Sono Pazzi Quelli Romani" (hinweisgebende Großschreibung).

Everyone before: Man I wonder what historic events we’ll experience in our lifetime
