Find the Word Tag

Combining tags from @socialmediasocrates and @avi-why. Thanks for the tags y’all!

And since it’s gonna be a long one, gonna toss it beneath a cut and tag people up here. Tagging with no pressure @xiyais, @writinglyra, @percy-writes, and anybody else who wants to. Your words will be fog, sound, consequence, wish, and ink.

Words: Run, water, hand, stripe, blue, sun, snarl, fate, green, glitter

Run (Space Pirates)

“Wait!” Isadora called. “Wait, stop, please!”

Caelan didn’t stop. Instead, once they had rounded the corner, they broke into a run, wondering just what in the universe Rossano had decided to use as a distraction.

The answer came in the form of destroyed ballroom doors, flames licking the center of the dance floor, and panicked guests streaming out as fast as they could.

Water (Lost Beneath the Waves)

Dawn was just starting to tinge the sky pink when Ronan finally resurfaced. The first thing he noticed were the two dark-haired figures still on the beach, though sitting down by now. Ronan started towards them, letting the tide carry him in.

When Ronan was finally close enough to touch the sand again, he risked calling out. “I’m alive.”

Matthew startled, and Katherine tipped off his shoulder and fell in a spray of sand.

“Ronan Seadew!” Matthew snapped, standing and crossing the beach to stand at the edge of the water.

“I’m sorry.” Ronan accepted both the towel and the accusing stare without complaint. “I panicked.”

Hand (Nova)

“Let me get this lit,” Jay mumbled, reaching for his lighter again.

“Jay—” Basil reached out to stop Jay.

Jay smacked his hand away. “Let me light my damn cigarette!”

Basil frowned and changed his trajectory to try and remove Jay’s goggles.

The reaction this time was even more violent, Jay practically shoving Basil away and scrambling to his feet. “Don’t touch me!”

Stripe

N/A :(

Blue (Astral Part 2)

Open it.

Aiden narrowed his eyes at Will, but he’d always been the best at holding his cryptic silence. After a moment, Aiden gave in and carefully opened the lid. He couldn’t help the gasp that tore its way from his throat.

Nestled in the blue and gold velvet were a handful of familiar red and silver scales.

“Starfire,” Aiden whispered, picking up a scale and cradling it in his hand.

Sun (Magic AU)

James was sure he must have dozed off again. After all, Aiden was so warm tucked against his chest, and the sunlight soon slid off of James’s face, and Raidyn must have snuck into bed at some point because James could hear him purring contentedly nearby.

But the soft illusion of safety was shattered the instant somebody knocked at the door.

Snarl (Traitor Queen)

Holli sighed. “Vargas—Kairan—”

Vargas let out a low snarl.

This time it was Holli’s turn to roll her eyes. “Oh lay off Kairan, nobody else is out here, and we’ll have plenty of warning if somebody wants to join us.”

“It’s not those drunk idiots I’m worried about,” Kairan muttered.

Fate (Nova)

Basil tried to grab Jay, to tug him away from whatever dumb shit he was planning on doing, but Jay was too quick for him, and darted through the doorway. He disappeared almost instantly into the strange shimmer.

Basil stopped short, every instinct of his being screaming at him not to touch it. Instead, he was left helplessly waiting for Jay to come back from some fate he couldn’t be sure of.

Green (Stars)

My eyes meet green, and he grins at me, the action so wonderfully familiar it makes me want to cry.

“Hey estrella.” His voice is as rough as mine, but I think it’s the best sound I’ve ever heard in my life. “I told you I’d be here when you woke up.”

Glitter (Astral, but Andrade siblings era)

“Or did Mother put you up to this?” Yavin spat. “Does she have such little faith in me that she thinks taking away my birthright means I will suddenly resort to some drastic measure to regain it?”

“Mother did not ask this of me, because she has no idea of your cruelty,” Io retorted.

In a flash, Yavin closed the distance between them and grabbed Io by the collar. “And you do?” he asked in a low voice. “Careful how you answer, little one.”

Io gasped sharply, scrabbling at Yavin’s wrist in a vain attempt to get him to let go.

“Tell me what you know Io,” Yavin growled.

Io barely managed to gasp out a “No,” in reply, tears beginning to glitter in golden eyes.

4cr Plays - Dodge Club Pocket

WayForward director James Montagna's low-res side project, the half dance performance/half deathsport Dodge Club, has finally made it to the Nintendo 3DS in the form of Dodge Club Pocket, an enhanced version of the 2016 mobile game of the same name. Should you get back into the ring, or should this version be (sigh) dodged? Read further to find out!

Dodge Club Pocket is a game that takes that Atari-era "how that sprite on the screen supposed to represent that character on the box art?!" style of abstraction, and pushes it to its natural conclusion by turning the game's colorful and intricately dressed ravers into 2x2 pixel squares set inside a 16x16 ring, avoiding contact with bouncing fireballs (3x3 pixel squares) and sparks (3x1 pixel rectangles) that surround the edges, ensuring that you don't stay a wallflower.

The objective of the game is to complete 64 challenges, each offering variations of the core game, including changing the size of the player, adding more hazards to the ring, or varying the rules entirely, such as one challenge that turns the game into a shmup, side-scrolling platformer, and Pac-Man clone. While some of these challenges are pretty tricky, verging on unfair at times, most challenges take around a minute to complete, so starting all over isn’t much of a chore. Also, all but one of the challenges are immediately available to attempt, so instead of banging your head against the same challenge constantly, you can jump to another, completely different challenge!

I should note, however, that some of the challenges modify the ring’s appearance and lighting, and some of them include rapidly flashing lights, so be aware of that if you’re sensitive to those kind of things.

Dodge Club Pocket was originally released on iOS and Android phones (although it's sadly unavailable in the App Store now). The thing that excited me most about replaying it on the 3DS was not having to use the mobile version's touch controls, but even though the d-pad's controls are precise and extremely useful for some challenges, they're slow. Touch controls are sometimes absolutely necessary since they let you move much faster, granting you the fast escape out of a sticky situation that buttons could never allow you. That said, the touch controls are more enjoyable this time around, since you can use them without your thumb obscuring a significant portion of the screen.

There are dozens of unlockable rewards for clearing challenges, including character profiles that let you see what each of those Battenberg cookies you play as looks like at a higher resolution, seventeen music tracks, each with their own album art, and early promotional materials dating as far back as Dodge Club’s origins as an 8x8 art installation. Each little bit feeds further into the lore of this world where ravers are chased around an electrified ring by sentient fireballs.

Speaking of backstory, the 3DS version has a new digital instruction manual that provides an amusing origin story for the game's 8x8 challenge board, as well as a recipe for coconut balls for some reason. There are also several new unlockable rewards in this port, such as comics that were originally exclusive to the Dodge Club soundtrack CD’s booklet.

Yeah... I’m not exactly the most impartial person on the 4 Color Rebellion staff when it comes to this game. I like it for a reason, though - it’s an extremely simple game that makes itself complicated in the most delightful and unexpected ways, all packaged around Linzb0t’s adorably colorful art. Furthermore, between the wide range of control choices and the new bonus content, this is the definitive version of Dodge Club Pocket, and well worth the new $4.99 price tag.

If you're looking for a fast-paced, lo-fi, yet visually striking and unique game that can be played in short bursts, and you're still carrying your 3DS around, Dodge Club Pocket is a great addition to your library that will leave anybody watching you play over your shoulder absolutely confused.

How to enable dark mode in HTML email: everything you need to know.

With the new iOS 13 update, Apple Mail is getting a dark theme and becomes the first major email client that supports prefers-color-scheme CSS media query — this means you can now design emails specifically for both dark and light themes.

I’m a massive dark mode fan, and blindingly-bright email is my nemesis so when I learned about the dark mode in iOS 13, I did the only obvious thing and ordered a brand new iPhone to test things out.

While I was at it, I also tested how dark mode works in almost all email clients, including the trouble maker Outlook, and here’s what I found.

What is prefers-color-scheme? The prefers-color-scheme CSS media query is used to detect whether the user prefers a light or dark theme, making it possible to design email specifically for both. With the iOS 13 update, the support in most popular email clients jumped from 2.3% to 38.4%! A huge step thanks to Apple Mail's popularity. Surprisingly, Outlook was the only email client that supported this before Apple Mail.

How dark mode works in popular email clients

To render the email message dark itself, email clients invert email’s colors automatically behind the scenes. For regular user-to-user emails, this works well and consistently in all email clients.

However, it’s not that simple for custom HTML emails — those that fill most of our inboxes. I’m talking transactional and promotional.

Here’re the differences I found in how email clients handle dark mode email rendering:

* Popularity is shared across all platforms for the same email client because it cannot be reliably distinguished. Popularity source: Litmus, the 2019 email client market share.

(Visit the original post to view my notes from the testing, and to see the latest tests as I gradually test more email clients and update the article there first.)

How to make HTML emails dark mode friendly

I already put the data to the use and a few Outlook related challenges later, I made our emails dark mode friendly. Here’s how you can do the same:

What the data say: More than 55% of emails might be opened with dark mode enabled. Once Gmail joins the dark side, emails that might be opened with dark mode enabled will skyrocket to 83%!

1) Adjusting colors

Look out for Apple Mail as inverts colors only if the background color is transparent or unspecified — white background won’t do. The easiest way to make sure your emails won’t blind anybody is to check whether a background color is specified. For more control over the design, this is where prefers-color-scheme comes in handy.

Syntax (@media prefers-color-scheme):

<style> /* Your light mode (default) styles: */ body { background: white; color: #393939; } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Your dark mode styles: */ body { background: black; color: #ccc; } } </style>

A design tip: Avoid pure white #fff as the text color. I found that contrast ratio around 11.5 for the main text is a nice compromise between not too bright a not too dim. Check the contrast ratio here: https://contrast-ratio.com or use Chrome dev tools.

2) Switching between light and dark logo

A dark text on a dark background is pretty much invisible, and that’s precisely what happens to a logo if viewed in an email client with enabled dark mode.

Nowadays, a typical logo usually has a transparent background, colorful icon, and dark copy. See the problem? Because email clients don’t invert image colors, you need to handle it yourself.

To tackle this, you can either:

the easiest way to fix this is to save the logo with a white background instead of a transparent background, but I wouldn’t recommend this approach — dark mode users won’t be happy

put a light logo on a dark background, the rest of the email is on white background (see how Litmus does it)

make dark mode email your default, a good candidate for this would be Spotify as they only offer dark theme in their apps

include both light and dark versions of your logo and switch between with prefers-color-scheme media query

My favorite is the last approach, here’s how you do it:

Simple "display: none" on the dark logo works just fine in all modern email clients, but to everyone's surprise, not in Outlook and Windows 10 Mail.

In CSS styles:

<style> @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { .darkLogo { display: none !important; } .lightLogoWrapper, .lightLogo { display: block !important; } } </style>

…and the HTML structure:

<image src="dark-logo.png" class="darkLogo" /> <!-- To hide the light logo perfectly in Outlook and Windows 10 Mail, you need to wrap the light logo image tag with a div. --> <div class="lightLogoWrapper" style="mso-hide: all; display: none"> <image src="light-logo.png" class="lightLogo" style="display: none" /> </div>

This approach works pretty well, but it still won’t work correctly across the board. The dark text on dark background issue will happen with email clients that do support dark mode but doesn’t support prefers-color-scheme. That is Outlook, Windows 10 Mail, Zoho, and potentially Gmail.

So, to make the logo in email fully bulletproof, I’ll combine the method 1) and 4) from above. Method 1) will cover all email clients that support dark mode, but not the prefers-color-scheme. And method 4) will cover Apple Mail, Outlook on macOS, Outlook.com, which do support both.

Also, instead of saving the logo on a white background, I’ll add 3-pixel wide background-matching border and save it on a transparent background as usual.

It’s starting look pretty complex (just for a logo), so let’s see the HTML markup first:

<!-- Default logo with 3-pixel wide background-matching border --> <image src="dark-logo-with-background.png" class="darkLogoDefault" /> <!-- Light theme (so dark logo): This is for Apple Mail, Outlook on macOS, Outlook.com --> <div class="darkLogoWrapper" style="mso-hide: all; display: none"> <image src="dark-logo.png" class="darkLogo" style="display: none" /> </div> <!-- Dark theme (so light logo): This is for Apple Mail, Outlook on macOS, Outlook.com --> <div class="lightLogoWrapper" style="mso-hide: all; display: none"> <image src="light-logo.png" class="lightLogo" style="display: none" /> </div>

…and CSS styles:

<style> @media (prefers-color-scheme: light) { .darkLogoDefault, .lightLogo { display: none !important; } .darkLogoWrapper, .darkLogo { display: block !important; } } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { .darkLogoDefault, .darkLogo { display: none !important; } .lightLogoWrapper, .lightLogo { display: block !important; } } </style>

Dark mode in Gmail is coming

The dark mode is coming to Android in the new Android 10, and Gmail should go completely dark too, finally. All you need is Android 10 and the newest Gmail (at least version 2019.09.01.268168002). However, Google tends to enable new features (a dark theme in this case) for users gradually with a server-side push, and I haven’t got the luck for now.

I’m curious to see if support for @media prefers-color-scheme is coming to Gmail. From what I read, it doesn’t seem promising. I guess we have to wait to find out. I’ll update the article once I get the dark theme in Gmail enabled.

Wrapping up

Dark mode is coming to HTML email, and I love it! But, it’s another thing to worry about, like using HTML tables for layout wasn’t enough.

Chapter 05- Overheard

“WRESTLING!” Frost winced then made an unintelligible noise that indicated irritation. She glanced up from her datapad that currently displayed her book while taking a sip of herbal tea whilst looking around for the source of the disruption to her peace and quiet.  She put the data pad down, one hand automatically going to the towel on her head to ensure it stayed in place after the sudden movement.  

She adjusted her open robe over her soft pyjamas and reflected how peaceful things had been in the clan house recently.  A peace she did not see coming nor expect to last very long given the constant antics of her clanmates.  However, she had intended to take advantage of this rare opportunity and spend every precious moment of this peace nestled in her favorite ratty chair in the clan house common room catching up on the postings to her favorite fiction boards.  She had enjoyed the multiple attempts that her fellows guardians had made to recreate or replace the lion’s share of lost Pre-Fall fiction.

“Frost, your heart rate is spiking.”  Persephone apparated into existence.

“Do you hear that, little Ghost?”  Frost asked, not really expecting the Ghost to have heard it.  “That’s the sound of trouble.”

“Should I bring your weapons?”

As the assorted hoots and hollers of two of her clanmates echoed down the hall and she realised her all-too-short peace was at an end,  She sighed and took one last sip of her tea and giggled at Persephone’s last question.

“Not just yet.  Give it five minutes.  Take this please?”  And handed over her datapad.   

The Ghost took it from her to be stored as data itself and vanished. Frost  inhaled in preparation and set her teacup down at the exact instant the door flew open so fast that it fell off one of it’s hinges with a bang.

“WRESTLING!” Ronnie, the giant Titan exclaimed, her hand outstretched from just slamming the door wide. “WOOO, WRESTLING!” resounded Th13teen. The Hunter pushed past Ronnie and flexed his arms, strutting around the room.

Frost rubbed her temples. “Okay. Okay. Clearly you two lunatics have found something new to occupy your pea brains. What is it this time?” “It’s the BEST” Ronnie shouted. She gesticulated wildly “Shaxx is adding unarmed combat to Crucible and he wants us to organize into groups of two-” “TAG TEAMS, BAYBEE” Th13teen interjected.

“-and fight each other in a round robin tournament!” Ronnie grinned from ear to ear.. 

Frost picked up her teacup as a protective measure, feigning the most unimpressed air she could. “And what do you get for winning, pray tell?” “BELTS!” came the response from Th13teen.

“Belts?” Frost asked.

“Belts,” Ronnie clarified. “Belts,” Frost confirmed. “BELTS!” Th13teen reiterated. “BIG, SHINY GOLD BELTS!” “Shiny...gold,” Frost peered up at the big Titan, decked out as she was in gold filigree armor “why am I not surprised? Ronnie, If your armor gets any shinier you might as well wear disco balls on your buttplates.” “No, no, for the duration of this tournament, I’m now going by the name ‘Ronnie-2-Shotty’” she grinned and glanced at Th13teen who nodded in approval, “because I got the shotguns right here” she flexed, indicating her not unimpressive, Frost conceded- biceps.

“And I’m going by ‘JOEY THREE-BOWS” Th13teen squealed excitedly, perching atop the back of another sofa lounger. 

“And together,” Ronnie bellowed “we are…” Th13teen leapt off of the sofa back and Ronnie caught him, swinging him around once and landing him on his feet where they both took up flexing poses and shouted in unison: “THE NEW VOID ORDER!” 

Frost palmed her own face.  “As fascinating as all of this is, I’ve had my fill of your...enthusiasm for the day.  I’ll be outside.” She got up and strode past them, pink robe fluttering as she did.

“You’re gonna come and see us wrestle, right?” Frost waved dismissively “Break your necks on your own damn time, boss lady. I’m going out to the garden to get some more reading done.” She turned back as she was leaving and regarded Ronnie directly “and by the way, try not to let anybody else break your shiny butt, okay?” “Why’s that?” Ronnie smirked back with a touch of defiance.

“Cause that’s my job.” Frost deliberately lowering her voice and holding Ronnie’s gaze for as long as possible while she watched the overconfident Titan’s face turn from Awoken blue to embarassed red. Frost turned and left just as Ronnie was trying to come up with a good retort, a move that Frost knew hammered the point home: I’m in charge here, Ronnie, you just think you are. 

As she stepped out into the clan house courtyard and took in the morning sunlight, something once more came to interrupt her solitude. A stranger approached the garden path. A Warlock, dressed in fine black and gold robes, her shoulders and neck adorned with long black feathers at the hems of her outfit. She was shorter than Frost, with dark human skin and a head of bright orange hair framing a severe face, made up with black eyeliner and gold lipstick. This woman seemed to glide up the path though Frost was sure she was walking, and she would have almost gone through her had she not halted abruptly. 

The woman flashed a smile that didn’t seem to reach her eyes, one that clearly was not lacking in practice.

“Good day, madam,” she nearly purred with a voice that was like black licorice. Tart and husky, but dripping with enough sweetness to cause cavities. “Can you tell me if this is the Pax Bisonica house?” “Well yes but why?” Frost cocked her hand on her hip. She wasn’t too sure why this person was here, but the atmosphere of ostentatiousness was already made cloying with Ronnie’s grandstanding, the last thing she needed was this peacock padding around the place. 

“Is Veronica here, darling?” the Warlock’s mouth curled into a smile and Frost envisioned her as almost snakelike. 

“Veronica? There’s….nobody in the clan by th-” “Oh yes, of course,” she deflected “Ronnie, she goes by Ronnie these days, I’m sorry.” “Oh” Frost raised both eyebrows, genuinely disarmed. Veronica? Really? She filed that away for later use. “Y-yeah, Ronnie’s inside.” She stabbed a thumb backwards over her shoulder and moved aside for the visitor. 

“Thank you darling,” the shorter woman bowed her head and glided past Frost without another word, making for the door. Frost narrowed her eyes and waited till the woman was through the doorway. She didn’t trust this one. Not at all. Not that Frost trusted many people, she still hadn’t gotten used to living with the members of her own clan, such as it was. That said, though, if this woman meant them harm, she was going to at least stay on top of things. They were family, after all. 

“Persephone,” Frost summoned.

“Frost,” her Ghost offered, dryly as she appeared.

“Suit me up. We’re going stealth.” 

*** Frost slipped in through the door and immediately sprang into the rafters, padding between them like a cat. Her void light flickered around her and began bending the low ambient light around her armor, rendering her functionally invisible. If anybody looked hard enough they might be able to see her, but nobody would really be looking up at the rafters in their own clan house. She swiftly made her way to the commons room via the roof supports. 

As she entered the room, she saw the new arrival speaking with Ronnie, who stood before her, arms crossed, but smiling? They were talking, low and quiet, which was unusual for Ronnie. Frost also noted that Th13teen was absent?

 Frost’s Hunter inquisitiveness kicked into overdrive and she listened intently, using her headset’s sound amplifiers to zero in on the words being said. “...not since Io, no.” Ronnie said, with a slight chuckle.

 “I know, it *has* been a while, darling, I’m sooooo sorry.” The new woman drawled out her words theatrically as if rehearsed. “So what brings you back to our neck of the woods?” Ronnie leaned back on her desk. 

“Why….you do, Veronica, my dear.” The Warlock leaned in as Ronnie leaned forward. Frost’s breath hitched in her throat and she reached for her knives, anticipating an attack, however, what happened next surprised even the seasoned guardian.

The smaller woman stood on tiptoe and leaned in further. Her gold-painted lips met Ronnie’s and the larger woman brought her arms forward and around the Warlock’s waist. They entwined. It was long, slow and silent, and if there had been any sound still in the room, it would have been brought to a hush.

Frost muttered a quiet “fuck, fuck, fuck” as her fumbling fingers found no purchase on the knife handle and it slipped out of it’s sheath, causing her to grab it blade first before it could fall to the ground and give her away. She exhaled, realising that her gloved fingers were in no danger and reclined to sit in the rafters. 

Well, she thought, watching the two women kiss. This is...new. It was no secret that Ronnie was...involved with a great many people. She often implied as such. But this was the first time Frost had seen evidence with her own eyes. She frowned, though she wasn’t sure why. 

The two women broke apart and Ronnie chuckled. She reached up an armored gauntlet to cup the smaller woman’s face playfully “Oh Deja, you haven’t changed a bit.” Deja cupped her hands around Ronnie’s larger one and smiled sweetly at her “I’m still just ‘little old me, darling. And I was hoping you’d like to catch up on old times some more.” “Oh?” Ronnie said, perking an eyebrow. Deja slipped back from her and gestured wide with her arms “Some friends of mine have abandoned a little outpost on Saturn, darling. It’s a cozy little apartment at the top of one of the less destroyed buildings in the city. It’s as furnished as it gets and all the amenities work.” She smiled her little snake smile again. “They’ve finished their little expedition to collect Vex samples there and they offered me the place.” Ronnie looked down and chuckled. As her eyes rose to met Deja’s she asked “and what are we going to do in a remote apartment out in the middle of Saturn, Deja?” Deja bit her bottom lip and cocked her eyebrow “why, darling, we would make our own entertainment.” Frost mimed a gag. Persephone giggled in her head. 

Ronnie laughed, loudly at first, then softer, looking around. “I...when were you planning to go?” she said, standing and walking over to Deja, resting her hands on the Warlock’s hips. Frost found herself chewing on the inside of her helmet restlessly, watching this all play out. 

Deja swayed her hips gently under the Titan’s touch “Right now, darling. We’d have the whole weekend to ourselves.” Ronnie’s eyebrows arched in the middle, surprised and a little sad. She smiled weakly for Deja. “Ah...Deja, I can’t. I have plans.” Deja play-frowned “Unless it’s Vanguard business, sweetheart, I’m sure it can wait.” Frost smirked to herself. Of course, she thought, Ronnie wants to go do that wrestling thing with Th13teen. She’s not going to go romp with some....two bit spell-slinger that just walked in here with her gaudy makeup and her- wait. 

Frost sat back against the support beam. Why did she care? Whatever Ronnie did in her spare time was her own business. It’s not like she had a horse in this race at all. In fact, getting Ronnie out of the place for the weekend would benefit her more. She could have the whole place to herself and enjoy a good long marathon reading session. She looked down, hoping now that the big woman might reconsider the weekend romp. 

Ronnie sighed and pulled her hands back from Deja. “It’s….I had plans.” The wrestling, Frost nodded to herself. Knew it. “See,” Ronnie continued, “Frost’s been wanting some peace and quiet for a while, I was going to go find some books for her down at the Ishtar collective and bring them for her. I was gonna send everybody else out on patrol and just give her some time to...enjoy herself.” Frost nearly fell out of the rafters. 

Deja crossed her arms “And? You could just give her the books and then come with me, Darling, I don’t see why-” Ronnie scratched the bridge of her nose, trying to feign nonchalance “I was gonna…maybe hang around. See if there was anything I wanted to read too?” Frost cocked her head. Ronnie could read? God that would be a funny thing to say right now, but she held her tongue and listened. 

Deja perked an eyebrow at this as well. “You? Since when were you ever the bookish type, you’ve never, since we’ve known each other picked up-” a slow dawning came over her face. “Wait. Wait a moment. Who is Frost? Is she the one I passed on the way here? Awoken? Medium height, towel on her head? PJs?” Ronnie nodded slowly “uh, yeah, if you just passed her, yeah, that’s her.” Deja smirked. “Oh. Oh yes, I get it now. Is that your type now?” Ronnie coughed and stepped back towards her desk “I- I’m not sure I know what you mean.” “Veronica!” Deja insisted, she raised her voice for emphasis, “I thought you despised Hunters, and now you’re involved with one?” Frosts eyes snapped wide. INVOLVED? Hold on a moment here, lady-

“We’re…” Ronnie chuckled softly “we’re friends.” She looked up and smiled wide and warm. Frost suddenly forgot her own line of thought. She hadn’t ever seen this particular smile on Ronnie’s face. It was...wistful? Wry? Deja softened too. Her frustration gave way to a similar smile and she crossed to the desk and leaned on it beside Ronnie. They shared a quiet silence for a moment. Deja slowly reached out and stroked the back of Ronnie’s hand. “What’s she like, this Hunter of yours?” Ronnie chuckled softly. “She’s…unlike anyone I’ve ever met. She’s smart. Sharp too, like a knife. Always knows what to say. N’ she’s super capable. I just...I like being around her. She makes me forget myself and like…like she’s all that matters.” A slow creeping blush build up in her face as she spoke. “She’s like a literal goddess.” Deja leaned her head on Ronnie’s shoulder. “She sounds wonderful, Darling.” “She is,” Ronnie said. They turned to meet each other’s gaze and Ronnie cupped Deja’s face with a hand and drew her in for a short kiss. 

Frost leaned back against the support pillar and drew her knees up close to her chest. Her heart was thumping in her chest again and she felt flushed. 

“Come on” Ronnie said below her “least I can do is take you to lunch. We can catch up at least a little.” “We can” Deja said, “but if we’re not going to my little romp, honey, I might as well stick around a bit. Help out around the place some and all. After all, I do need to meet this woman who’s made such an impact on you…” Their voices trailed off as they left the room. Frost decloaked and let out a breath. That….that had been a lot. 

“Hey.” Frost jumped. Sitting across from her on the support beam, a shape coalesced out of the darkness to reveal golden robotic facial features. Th13teen threw her a cavalier salute. 

“So,” he chuckled “‘literal goddess’ huh?”

Goddammit.
