cherokee1 that I write "something in the poison sigils world hopper story," aka Utilitarian Virtue, which is a tiny original fiction snippet I wrote back in December 2011. That snippet acted as the opening paragraphs of an unwritten novel; this excerpt is set about two days further into the story.
You should go read the first ficlet for context or this one won't make much sense. :-)
( Signs and Portents )
I do have a very rough narrative outline for the entirety of this story, should I ever decide to write it properly. I think some of the plot can be inferred from the two extant snippets, but there's a bunch of other stuff that hasn't come up on-page and which will, I think, remain unstated for now.
(I will tell you for free that it's a love story. And also a story about ethics and space opera magical gunfights, because hey, I am still me! But the heart of the thing is love.)
