WITH NOAH ST CLOUD[break]

Tawny is very damsel in distress, falling in lakes and shit. Luckily, she is rescued by Noah and taken back to his house for a hot shower and a fresh change of clothes. A simple, cut-and-dry rescue mission... that is, until Noah reveals that he's aware she's Gifted and has "borrowed" her ability. But still, things go extremely well! They discuss their gifts and experiment with them a bit. Even discovering their opposing involvements in the Sector/Blackstorm doesn't put too much of a damper on things. They're vibing and flirting. Then Tawny sees a murder-y memory of Noah's and things take a nosedive into heck. The morning ends with her a cried-out, terrified mess, climbing into the back of an Uber and being driven home (despite momentarily considering the possibility she might never leave his house at all). A week later she returns to his door to leave a basket with his borrowed clothes, a note thanking him for his timely rescue, and her new phone number.

[attr="class","rinse_thread_tt"]CAN'T STOP YOU CROSSING MY MIND
WITH NOAH ST CLOUD[break]

Noah shows up drunk at Tawny's apartment a couple of weeks after their initial encounter. She's surprised and a little startled but isn't too terribly afraid and — like a crazy, silly girl with no sense of self-preservation — invites him in. She lets her ferrets assault him a bit. He reveals that he never followed through on his threats to have her family and friends targeted should he be nabbed because of her. They conversate about their families and themselves. Then they play a game of "two truths and one lie" that very quickly devolves as Noah's drunken sluttiness drives them to distraction. Eventually, Tawny draws a line... but still lets him sleep the night in her bed.

Tawny finally takes the plunge and leases a studio for her hobbies. Unfortunately, the place has already been vandalized! She hits up the hardware store to start clean-up and Atticus is there to offer some know-how. Assumed ending: The storeowner already had Tawny in a mood, so Atticus' "charming" helpfulness made Tawny pretty catty. She ended up telling him (and the storeowner) off and stomping out to clean up her studio by herself. Girl needs no man (she ended up calling Cooper after twenty minutes, shh.)

Inspired by watching The Matrix (drunk at 3am). Dane gets a little sliced up on a chase after a Guild defector. He finds aid in "Nick", who breaks into an apartment and stitches him up. Things get (somehow) weirder when they find a captive man in the apartment's bathtub. Dane divulges his line of work and his Gift and also murders Tub-Guy. Nick gets to play around with beast summoning and then the pair part ways.

[attr="class","rinse_thread_tt"]GOOD DOGS MAKE BAD LOVERS
WITH NOAH ST CLOUD[break]

Dane's father, probably by having Dane watched, found out about his son's little dalliance with a Gifted girl and decides the appropriate punishment is having Dane kill her. Dane holds out for a while but eventually — like a good, well-beaten dog — is brought to heel and does his father's bidding. Nick finds him being all wallow-y afterward at a shitty playground. The pair talk, drink, learn a little more about one another, Dane lets Nick play around a little more with beast summoning, then Nick's had enough and is on his way again.

But after Evening shares that she's telepathic/clairvoyant and pokes just a bit around Dane's head, he gets a little sympathetic (and a little honest and a little self-loathing). And he lets her go.

She texts her paramedic brother for back-up, Dane and him puff up at each other just a little, but things go without a hitch. Maddie keeps him from dying and helps him back to his own apartment.

[attr="class","rinse_thread_tt"]THIS PICTURE'S FROZEN, AND I CAN'T GET OUT
WITH GENESIS DONOVAN[break]

After his couple long weeks of bedrest, Dane's feeling great! Then a fellow Guild member approaches him in the club with "some questions". Turns out, he killed this woman's father — Ray Donovan. After exchanging a quick dance for some smart-ass answers, Dane relents and actually answers her questions over a tray of lemon shots. The pair share a (somehow/surprisingly) pleasant conversation about shitty fathers, the Guild, and their fucked-up lives. Then Dane — being Dane — decides to make a move and Genie (understandably/not surprisingly) books it.

Dane gets kicked out of the bar after a very one-sided fight and Mattis is there to offer some assistance. She takes him across the street, chats him up, and gives him more booze. Then she takes him home with her! Assumed ending: Mattis was a little too chatty and reserved for Dane's usual tastes. Very flip-floppy. Did she take him home to sleep with him or not?? He tried winning the night in her bed but she just kept talking. A little too boozed and beaten up anyway, Dane ended up passing out on her couch mid-conversation. She covered him up (aww) and he woke/slipped out in the middle of the night.

WITH WALTER BELL[break]

After being given Walter's file, Luck decides to check in on the young man at his work. Just to subtly gauge how he is faring since moving to Los Eurosia. Just to maybe make sure he isn't close to flying off the handle at any point since, y'know, that could lead to.... a lot of death. Assumed Ending: Luck and Walter chat throughout Walter's lunch break. Luck sticks around for a while after. Eventually, he decides Walter seems pretty well off but leaves his card/number with him (disclosing the nature of his advocacy work, in vague half-truths, and offering an ear if he ever feels he needs to reach out to someone).

CHRISTMAS 2023[break]

Gifts from Aimee's characters! From Bridget, Luck received t-shirts, a card/note, and some homemade peach cobbler. He enjoyed the cobbler with some ice cream and, rather than returning Bridget's Tupperware to her simply cleaned, he delivered it to her full of homemade peanut brittle (it took him three attempts to get it right). [break][break]

From Nate, at Harmony, Luck received a Jeff Gordon Funko, a Kyle Busch hat, and two cruise tickets to Alaska. Luck had to excuse himself from the festivities and go smoke a cigarette for a very long time after opening the envelope with the tickets. Nadia ended up checking up on him after awhile and they had a nice, quiet talk (in which Luck made sure to let her know — as best as Luck can — how much he loves and appreciates her, in case things work out in such a way that it's not "right" for him to really come around again). [break][break]

The Funko now resides (out of the box) on his TV stand and he has worn the Kyle Busch hat for all of January.
