All in all the job picture in the whole state was pretty depressing.It was not pleasant to know that those very conditions were going to help make the...retired operatives lives better in Aster. There would be a lower cost of living, than in most other places with as mild a climate. The retired operatives would bring a different economy with them. Their wealth, such as it was, came from outside Aster. How that would play out remained to be seen.I was not making plans based on an operative. I shook my head as Sally, effortlessly, picked the entire container up and held it on her shoulder. Then, together, we walked towards the gate, Dogmeat padding along at my side – he had never put a single paw off the stagecoach for the entire trip, and was practically prancing for joy to be out of the coach and on natural ground. Coming to the elf, I bowed my head.“Greetings, Dr. Cog,” the elf said. “Jorian told me to expect you. You may enter the gates and go to the temple.”I drew myself up,. I sometimes wake up in the darkness to hear snatches of his confused conversation. I can never make out whole sentences. Just the occasional word. Its almost 4.00 in the morning and Im sitting pretty much naked before the glare of this cold glass once more. Mirrors play an important part in my life. Not vanity: just good old-fashioned female insecurity. (Well now Rachel. What goes through your troubled little mind as you sit shivering by the Looking Glass?) Just the usual really. Should I get. He was standing down my flat and wanted to come up. My mom asked me whether he can come or not so I was like I’m OK if you don’t mind. So she was more than happy to call him up.They sat in the front room and were talking and I was in my room and was feeling sleepy. So I came out and saw them sitting very close and told mom I’m sleeping. My mom was wearing tight leggings and a satin top from which her bra line could be easily seen. I went to my room and imagined that there is going to be some.
