Day 24 Part 3

“He lost.  Lexx lost.”  Damian whispered sadly, unable to find any other words.  Chel stared, wishing someone would do something, anything!  They were all just standing there, watching.  She was just watching.  She couldn’t keep watching.   No.   The word ran through her head repeatedly.  This couldn’t be happening. “Do you give up, Shira Lexx?”  Trasik grabbed a hand full of Lexx’s hair and jerked him into a more upright position. Lexx clenched his teeth against the additional pains shooting up his body at being moved.  He wheezed, trying to get a breath, even though his chest was on fire.  The thought passed through Lexx’s mind that if he didn’t answer, he might just bleed to death.  It was a silly notion.  He knew the nanites were already at work.  They had stopped all the bleeding and were rapidly working on fixing the most serious damage to his chest and lungs.  Then, he weakened and without thinking about it, reached out to Chel.  He caught himself before he made a full connection, but it was done. Chel felt his pain and the call for help behind it.  Her legs moved without thinking and she ran.  She had no idea what she was going to do, but she wasn’t going to let this happen.

  1. He was outmatched and outnumbered. There wasn’t much he could have done.

  2. Don’t count him out just yet! Obviously he doesn’t lose until he says “I give up.”, otherwise the cheater wouldn’t be asking him the question.

  3. Took me a few glances to realize that is Riley’s nose. He looked like he was smiling for some reason.

  4. Maybe when he got feathers he also got poison talons and Trasik’s dice are about to collapse, meaning he won!

  5. Sooooo, maybe he can suddenly wake up and mindlessly go berserk on the enemy dice? Or Chel can tag him out and defeat them with deadly cuteness? And Riley! What are you doing just standing there!! Do something about that treacherous sister of yours! There’s gotta be some kind of mistake she’s made to disqualify her. Maybe attacking an enemy dice yourself? (She is grabbing Lexx by the hair). Otherwise, just clobber her, run, and sort out the details later. But wow! All this suspense is just killing me!

  6. Chel’s about the deck Trasik so hard.

    1. That would be pretty funny,… except if that gets Lexx in trouble because if this isn’t over…(Trasik: “Do you give up, Shira Lexx?”)… then he could get in trouble like the ADC’s disqualification or worse.

      But once again yes that would be cool if Chel clocks Trasik!!! 🙂

    2. I believe that Florence Ambrose of Freefall demonstrates the proper technique to be used in this level of “decking”.

  7. Chel: “FALCOOOON PAWWWWWNCH!!”

  8. is it just me or douse Riely look way too happy right now

  9. but…that would be interference! No, Chel! Then he’d lose automatically!

    @Mongoose: That’s Riley’s nose. He’s not smiling.

  10. aaaaaaaaaaaaa…. I’m out of archive to read… and Lexx can’t lose!!!!
