✨ Season of the Witch 🧙🏽 To quote Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale: "Oddly enough, my character's feelings mirror my own." My dishwasher doesn't need wifi and if my microwave talks to me I'm going full Office Space on it. #WriteSky #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

The specialized computer in Jack and Daniel’s office no longer smelled of burnt plastic, and it booted up properly when Jack slipped his identity-verification keycard into the slot. This time, they didn’t even have to type one of the trigger words into the database. Jack decided to test something. He said “Call Deputy Director Haywood,” and the screen of the computer immediately went black with that burnt-orange text again.

Daniel let out a low whistle and glanced sidelong at his husband. Neither of them had to say anything. Now they knew the office was compromised; magically bugged at the very least. He knew Daniel was going to have a fuming fit about it later. He’d adamantly refused every single ‘smart’ appliance and home assistant that store assistants had tried to sell them when they’d moved into this house, and he took pride in his ability to sweep out eavesdropping devices and cameras. He credited his ‘twisty little mind’ with that, saying that it was easy for him to put himself in the mindset of someone who wanted to spy on spies.

And now there was an eavesdropping mechanism that he couldn’t do a damn thing about, and it had to be giving him an ulcer.

Characters with chronic illness? In MY writing? It's more likely than you'd think. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPSnips

There was a clang and everyone looked towards the source. The hatch on one of the maintenance tubes had popped open, and Kami was crawling out of it. “There we go, Roro, that little bug should be fixed now. Well, not so little, I guess – you would not believe the size of the thing I had to shoo out of the conduits.” She looked up, grinning behind her mask. “Oh, hey, you two!”

“Get out of my lab in that dirty jumpsuit!” Rowan screeched as she got to her feet. “You’re going to get particles and filth on everything!”

“‘Thank you, Kami, you’re the best, Kami, I owe you my life and a double-double animal style with animal fries, Kami’,” the roboticist said sarcastically, sauntering towards the door. “‘You’re the best of all time, Kami, I couldn’t do any of this without your beautiful face and incredible expertise, Kami’.”

“Just get back in here once you put on a jumpsuit that isn’t covered in conduit oil and filth,” Rowan said.

“Callahan, stay,” Alec said, following Kami.

“Stay? ‘Stay’. Like I’m a dog, or something,” Kitty grumbled, but remained behind, still curiously examining the hologram of their brain activity. She was probably going to talk the faun’s ear off with questions. Good.

The both of them went through the airlock, and when they reached the antechamber, Kami pulled the heating charm off, followed by her hood. “Gah. My hair’s always a mess in these things. Gets into my mouth.” She pushed her goggles up. “Hello, gorgeous.”

“You look good in anything, even one of these stupid bunny suits,” Alec said. “Why were you crawling around in there?”

“Well, Rowan can’t do it with their legs how they are – not like they’d ever admit it.”

“You have joint problems,” Alec said.

“I took pain medication and had a cushioning charm to reduce the impact on my knees, honey, I’m fine. I just shouldn’t be doing that every day, that’s all. Besides, I like crawling through duct work. Makes me feel like I’m on a starship.”

I want to do this until I can’t do it anymore, was what she didn’t have to say. I want to do this until my body won’t let me. Alec knew what she meant all too well. He knew that he had so much he wanted to do until his body finally gave out from the damn curse eating him alive. He certainly wouldn’t begrudge her a little bit of crawl time.

“You know yourself best,” he said, and she smiled.

“I’d give you a hug, but I think Rowan would have a fit,” she said, gesturing to her bunny suit. There was oil smeared on it, and the knees were scuffed up. The nitrile gloves had some grime on them, which only made sense given that she’d been doing repairs.

“I think Rowan would have a fit either way,” said Alec, “but point taken. They showed us the brain mapping from the data they were able to compile.”

“Oh? They finished that? I was crawling around in there for hours.”

“Mm. It’s…interesting.”

“Alec,” Kami said, removing her nitrile gloves before sitting down and unbuckling the clean room boots. “You’re a terrible liar.”

“I’m actually a fantastic liar,” he said. “It’s part of my job.”

“Fine – then you’re a terrible liar when it comes to me. I know it was more than ‘interesting’, don’t tell me something so neutral. Did they figure out what’s wrong?”

✨ Season of the Witch 🧙🏽 "Alcohol" instead, and the only instance not referring to isopropanol (so far). This bit'll probably get cut during this revision (it's pure NaNoWriMo wordcount inflation), but it makes me laugh. #WriteSky #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity

Rowan nodded stiffly. “Tiburon.”

“No, not ‘Tiburon’,” Kami said slyly. “What was your cute little nickname for him earlier? ‘Meathead Senior’?”

Rowan blanched, and Baz laughed, thumping his cane on the floor. “I’ve been called far worse, Fizzbin, but thank you for the nickname all the same.”

“So, Baz, I heard tell that you sing,” said Kami. “Care to serenade us after all this is through? The acoustics in this place are second-to-none.”

“Perhaps, but you may have to get me a little tipsy first,” he said.

“Okay, bet,” said Kitty. “Alec, use my allowance to buy Uncle Baz some alcohol.”

“You don’t get an allowance,” Alec said wearily.

“What? Why not? I perform labor! I should be able to be paid for my tasks!”

Alec looked at Kami. “You never should have introduced her to Marx.”

It's about that time. (Midnight thirty, or, writing o'clock.)

A partial screenshot of Rin's computer, showing a word document and winamp.

Chapter 1:

It was 4:52 in the morning, and two CIA agents were sitting outside the home of a dangerous man.

[Winamp window showing a playlist that is very long and currently is only the soundtrack for The Bourne Identity]

“What’s he doing?”
