kelkyag‘s prompt to this bingo card.
It fills the “Greed” square.
It is part of my Space Accountant setting and comes before Accident and after Betting on It.
They were playing Flotsam, Genique and the two young men, wagering with time, their own free time, and Genique was losing.
She was losing, it appeared, badly. She was down thirty-six hours and a massage, most of it to Marsey the hitter, but a few hours here and there to Darretchon the hacker.
And Marsey had plans, she could tell, for every one of those hours. He was licking his lips. It would have been flattering, if it wasn’t a bit scary.
“One year.” He flicked the chips in.
Genique tried not to smile. The boy was hungry.
“One year.”

before Accident and after Betting on It Yes, yes it does. And then what happens?!?
*giggle*
Is she sharking them?
yep!
You can’t just tell us that, you have to write the next section! Please?
I’ll do my best to write it today!
Ah HA, I missed that first time around: • She was losing, it appeared, badly. • Genique tried not to smile.
… went looking for typos and then realized those weren’t typos! 😀
<pokes> This is tagged “morepls: fulfillment” but I am failing to find the next section. Could you point me in the right direction?
Nono. I fixed the tags and now they’re confusing, damn. Fulfilled is the one that was morepleased, fulfillment is the one I write to make more.
Ah! So this was a more-please, which was then more-please’d. Got it!
Ah, yes!! (Actually by your notes in the “fix my tags” post)
Heh. Okay, I’m a forgetful dork. Thank you for clarifying! 🙂
No problem! Thanks for helping me work the bugs out of new tags.
