    Private Tales Unsafe House

    A grin at the sound of her title. "Making the rounds, pup," she started flatly. "Little and more beat the foot patrol, and whilst the City Guard do their part, they leave us Shallows folk more or less alone," she moved with a purpose.

    Private Tales One Toward the Past, One Toward the Future

    A string of curses spilled out from his mouth. Breath was forced out through his teeth. "Damn it! I don't know! I don't know!!!" Marta watched on, cold eyed as she pulled down the last bit of her sleeve. "Any markings," Marta offered. Like a line thrown out to a drowning man. Her voice far...

    Private Tales One Toward the Past, One Toward the Future

    Leather trousers slipped on easy over well muscled limbs. Belts sinched tight across wide hips, and fingers pulled tight the folds of her tunic as it slipped down. A few adjustments across the shoulder. She set her knife on her belt. Felt her hands shake and tremble with the movement. Grit her...

    Marta clicked her teeth. Frowned. "Shame," she said, pulled the knife's edge from the man's throat. Left a long thin slice across the skin. "I was just getting used to being soaked in blood again," their was a cruel joy there in the growl of her voice. Something she might regret later. Well...

    Private Tales One Toward the Past, One Toward the Future

    The man made a horrid rasp as the life was squeezed out of his neck. Marta's eyes wide, and her grin wider as her arm flexed to iron cable, and her whole body wrenched behind it. He flailed. Threw impotent swipes with the one arm he could still flail freely, the other, jammed up in the vice...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    With all the wind blowing, their pace had slowed. Much as Marta wanted to bull forward, she couldn't right leave Teddy to his lonesome. Not if she wanted the prospective knight to learn a damn thing. "Come on, Ted! Stand behind me if you need to," she hollered. And like that they pressed on...

    The door slammed shut. "Oy! Oy! Digri! You fucking bastard come-" the dense bitch came up to him quick. He raised a hand up. Marta's eyes widened at the site of her dagger being made off with. A growl came from her throat and she bulled forward "Fuck if you think I'm going to let you-" her...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    A scoff, and a roll of her eyes. ask the Knights. Marta laughed at the notion, and her fingers pulled tighter the neck of her waxed cloak. "Didn't anyone ever tell you bout the nail that stands out, kid?" the wind howled and she shook her head. Still, she couldn't help but smile some. Not that...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    Marta stared down at the little goblin who had called out to shine her shoes. All scowl and wholly unimpressed. "What are you, daft, shorty? There's a bloody emergency going on," she said, with a shake of the head and a raise of the hand. "Street rats getting thrown onto warships, edicts...

    "'Course it was bloody Archer and Edsel," her brow furrowed, and she held her temples with forefinger and thumb. "Take all the easy recruits, and leave me with the projects, why don't ya, you bloody slaggers," she huffed a long breath through her teeth. Drew in a longer one through flared...

    A smirk, sharp as a knife, curled across Marta's lips. All the more exaggerated by the silvered scar that cut straight up from her chin, and through her lips, just bellow her eye. "Well, you done found her, pup," she craned her head, and her smile turned grin. "Marta Martigan," she thumped the...
