#TWPGE "Hnnng." Aerina was on the toilet, and it seemed that she would have the opportunity to familiarise herself with how toilets worked in this world for a while longer. "I should have taken Mister Guard's advice and not indulge in so much foreign cuisine," she berated herself. #WriteSky

Aerina calls Jerry 'Mister Guard' From 'Fusion Punk buddy cop' (working title) #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
As he got back to his desk, Aerina was looking at her watch. Her expression, who had before been one of confusion and wonder, had turned into a frown. 
He barely sat down and took a pen, when she said, “Mister Guard, I have an important ask.”
“Okay, shoot,” he said, hoping it was something she remembered.
“Have you found a case in the vicinity where you found me? Black leather, enforced with brass?”
Jerry looked at her, and only now, with her suit jacket half off, did he notice some red splashes on the front of her vest and shirt. The pen slipped from his fingers.
“What is it? I really need that case.”
Jerry ignored her, he jumped up and went to the officer stationed by the door. “John, please bring that woman into the interrogation room. Cuffed.”

I actually have that one in 'Fusion Punk buddy cop' (working title) Some unnecessary detail when taking blood samples.
“Nice costume, where did you get it from?”
“It was tailored on my form by Legier&Watson in New Jersey.”
“Hm, I’ve never heard of that shop,” Max was putting on nitrile gloves while talking. “And it's personalised. That must've been expensive.”
“Yes, indeed. I have to take good care of it. I was of the impression that my revelry suit would be enough for most parties, but my captain…” Aerina’s voice broke. “...my captain…”
“Are you okay?” Jerry asked.
For a moment, Aerina looked into the distance, then she snapped back. “Yes, I am fine,...”
Max didn't let himself get out of the groove, and they further prepared for taking Aerina's blood. It would be collected in two sample tubes; these had to be primed by pulling on a plug like on a plastic syringe to create underpressure. 
“Alright.” Max was finally ready with the needle. “I have to take a bit of your blood, is that fine?”
“Up to 200 mL, there shouldn't be any problems.”
Max blinked. “No, I only need like…” he showed the two tubes. “...this much.”
“Ah, certainly. That is not a problem then.”

The woman straightened again. “Under whose jurisdiction is this proof of identity performed?”
“Under that of the New York police department,” Verinez said and showed the badge on her belt.
Aerina squinted, deep in thought, then she widened her eyes. “Oh, you're guards. Then of course I will oblige.” She put her hand in the side pocket of her jacket and pulled out a small paper book, which she handed to Jerry. “As you can see, everything is in order. I would just need to get to the consulate, and then everything is cleared up, and I may be transferred back to my country.”
Jerry took the passport and opened it. It showed Aerina in an analogue photo next to a transparent window. The data below was typed by a typewriter. Her date of birth was given as 1997-05-32. There was an engraved emblem with an eagle on the right side of the passport, with the letters EASU on its body.

Prologue
Egon took a drag from his cigarette, tasting only a hint of cold tobacco as he glanced around the corner for the hundredth time. The cigarette wasn't lit – Egon was not a smoker – but acting to do so made him less conspicuous to the people passing by. 
The wail of a police siren made him twitch and turn towards the wall on instinct. The motor of the emergency vehicle roared down Haydn Street, getting closer and closer – then it passed and raced somewhere else. Egon risked a look; it had been an ambulance heading towards the hospital.
Egon released the breath he didn't know he held. Of course that hadn't been for him; the people following him would be more subtle. He leaned against the wall, lifting his right leg, which alleviated the warm pain in his ankle.
Three tolls of a bell echoed from a close steeple. Egon’s face twitched as he glanced at his watch to confirm.
4:45 pm
This marked about two hours of watching the entrance of the house with a rustic facade. The door was made from glass that didn't fit at all into the picture and was adorned by musical notes. Several students had entered and left the music school on this Wednesday afternoon, but not the person he was looking for.

Substitution stream -> river From 'The immortality heist' #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
After a short breakfast, and much too long for Petrina to gather all her stuff (they had to go back to get Thealaam, which had almost been forgotten in the room), they headed to the stable where Petrina had left her unicorn-mule. The stablemaid was there, losing her mind over the fact that the animal had managed to defecate in rainbow colours; it didn't help the simple woman that Petrina and Cate didn't see it as odd. 
“Do you not see it?” the woman screamed. “I have worked with animals all my life and never once did anything of that colour come out of an ass.”
Petrina took out some coins and calmly counted them. “So, how much did we say?”
“Are you not listening to me?! This shit is the colour of the rainbow. Is this a miracle? A sign from god? Or is it the devil? How is this even possible? How? HOW…”

So, anyway, Petrina and Cate made themselves on the way. The human village lay at the mouth of a small river valley, where water was plenty and the soil fertile for crops. The wheat was crushed right there, by mills powered by the moving water. The exact location of the coven village was lost to time, but from the surviving evidence, we can conclude that it was a day's journey upstream, deeper into the valley and towards the mountains.

“You're really serious? I can go there again?”
Petrina smiled. “I guess that means you’ll go with me.”
Cate made a dismissive gesture. “Sure, sure.” Her eyes were already searching for the barmaid again.
The stocky woman noticed being flagged down and approached their table again. 
“I’d like an entire jug of mead, I’m going on a journey.”
Antonia raised her eyebrows at that, but then nodded. “Naturalmente.”
She held out her hand towards Cate, who turned towards Petrina in turn. When nothing happened for a moment, Cate cleared her throat.
Petrina sighed and rolled her eyes. “Alright, how much is it?”
The witch produced a few more coins and the barmaid took some of it.
“And while we're at it,” Cate said and finished her cup. “Could you top me up again?”
Antonia nodded and went behind the bar. Cate realised only a few moments later that Petrina was staring at her.
“I find the amount you're drinking concerning.”

Two detectives meet a strange woman. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
“Sir,” Verinez said sharply and increased her speed.
The figure didn't react and put their head even lower to check the underside of the car. They were dressed strangely, stockings and pants not reaching all the way, a well-tailored suit-jacket, and a shortened top hat on the head, under which red hair peeked out. They looked like they just came out of prohibition-era speakeasy.
“Sir,” Verinez said again, sharper. “This is a police vehicle, step away from it.”
Now, the figure realised that they meant them. They looked at the approaching detectives, who now saw that it was a young woman. On her face, there were strange welding goggles, with circular eye holes. Left and right of her goggles, there were other circular disks of glass, pointing away like ears. She pressed a button on the side, and the disks sprung back inside the goggles, which she then quickly pushed up. 
Before the detectives were upon her, she stood up, wiped her knees and straightened.
Jerry and Verinez were there now close enough to prevent her from leaving, should she run.
“My apologies,” the woman said with a small nod. “I merely showed interest in the wheels of the ‘vehicle’, as you call it, for it seems they are common in this place I have found myself in, but not from whence I hail.”
Verinez and Jerry looked at each other at the strange matter of speech, both were a bit clueless on what to do.
“Where do you come from?” Jerry asked.
“I suppose a small introduction is in order.” The woman made a small knick. "Enginerunner Aerina L’Angrou, from the Eastern American States Union. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”

#WIPSnips From 'Fusion Punk buddy cop'(working title), a WIP that I started to write on to procrastinate working on my WIP. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
Soon-to-be Detective Jerry Draks got out from the passenger side of the minivan directly onto the curb next to the parking-prohibited sign. He had some concerns that people won’t recognise that car as a police vehicle, but then again, the officers in the vicinity had something else to do than go after parking violations.
“Thanks again for letting me take part in this,” he said to Detective Verinez.
The tall, latino women made a dismissive gesture. “Don't worry about it. Sooner or later, the Captain will see reason.”
Jerry scoffed. “Are you sure?”
“There aren't many other options. Joe has an old man back, and I’m also a mother now, and that takes priority,” she said. “If you show how good you are, he’ll promote you by the end of the month.”
