8 March, 2019 Whiskey an Widget form a pledge, then do movie night with Jenny |
Location
Wayhouse | |
There is a large table, and on it a a 65" TV. The TV looks as good as new, but is a model several years old. On the floor is a mass of cables, and next to the TV on the table is a XBox with a DVD of Blade Runner resting on it. Whiskey is standing there, looking at the cables an trying to sort them out. Comfortable looking chairs have been arranged within the room so an audience can watch the movie.
Whiskey eyes the cabling, and nods in approval. "That should work well, nice work! Here is the wording of the pledge we spoke of." He hands a sheet of fine quality rice paper to Widget. The paper has careful calligraphy on it, in flowing script. "Pledge have a, well, load, on them. I did this one so we can get the most out of it. The sanctions are punishing, but only occur if we break the pledge, which should be easy not to do."
"Now I, as initiator, apply my will. It is writing the wording of the pledge into the warp and weft of fate, and accepting the Wyrd's binding into ourselves. You'll feel it, and just accept it, and then we are pledged for a year and a day. We can renew it then too, if you'd like."

"I guess we need to spread the word more. So it will just be us tonight. You ever seen Blade Runner before? It's one of my favorites. Pull up a chair!", he says, grinning.
Whiskey looks dubious, but nods, watching as Deckard gets a meal at a Sushi stand on the screen. "Umm, sushi, delicious. Do we have a sushi bar are in town?", he says.
Whiskey hmms, "Have to find out. Hey, mind if I have some? So what recipes are you working on? Me, I'm working on a sleep mask that imitates the Oneirophysics dream ability."
Whiskey's interest is clearly piqued, "Sounds cool. Looking forward to making one of those myself, and of course I'll help you make the sleep mask, if you want. Hmm. I'll be right back." Whiskey nips out to to the main room, in a quick search of his own popcorn. He's back a few minutes later, with a microwaved bag of popcorn an resumes his seat.
Whiskey is sitting in a comfy lounge chair, one among a sea of about 10 such. He is eating popcorn from a microwave popcorn bag. Autumn's wind stirs around him, and origami shaped leaves ride that wind. Widget sits in another chair, also with popcorn. In front of them is a 65" TV on a stand, old but looking as if fresh off the assembly line. The TV is hooked up to a XBox, and is playing Blade Runner. The movie appears to have only recently started.
The newcomer gets a warm smile, as does Widget. "Hi! I'm Whiskey, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot." This is accompanied with a large grin. "Vizier, mechanic, custodian and Autumn. A pleasure to meet you." He rises with fluid grace and offers his hand in handshake in an elegant motion. As he does he seems to notice the licorice, and spoils the elegance, "Ooh. Licorice. Can I have a strand, please?"
Whiskey's head bobs in thanks and he takes on licorice strand. He takes one bite, savoring it, and moves to the Xbox. He'll wait until everyone's ready before restarting it. "Jenny, do you want us to rewind then? It's not far in. Feel free to grab a chair wherever," he says. On gear on his right side is clanking a bit, and he thumps it, whereupon it loosens and the cranking ceases.
Whiskey smiles at the two of them. Doesn't know if they are a couple, but they make a cute couple if they are. Since she didn't say, Whiskey just unpaused it rather than restarting. He resumes his seat as on the screen Deckard gets attacked by the female replicant Zhora.
Whiskey shakes his head, causing a couple gears to chime as they hit each other. "I haven't seen it yet. Maybe that will be another movie night. So how long have you two been around here? I joined the freehold last year, but have been away until very recently.", he says.
Whiskey nods, "I've been out since 1887. Spent the time since all over the world, but mostly in London, Boston, and Tokyo. Fought in a number of wars, earned my way thoughout that as a soldier, doctor, or crafter."
As the movie ends Whiskey stands and shuts the TV off. "Thank you both for coming. We'll have another one of these in two weeks. And Jenny, you are welcome to join us for a Hedge foray to harvest goblin fruit tomorrow. I'm pretty good and finding them, and we'll split the the fruits evenly." |
