    Summary

    In hindsight, this whole fiasco could have been avoided if I had run for the water the moment the lights went out. They wouldn’t have been able to reach me there. No way I could have known that at the time, but the thought kept surfacing again and again as I laid in the dark with nothing to do but sweat and think.

    It started about a half hour after class ended for the day.

     

    TLDR: Grace gets kidnapped.

    Summary

    “Hi!” I begin, looking at myself in the mirror. “I’m Grace—Ryland Grace—Ugh, wow. Who are you, James Bond? Okay, start over… I’m Grace. It’s so great to finally meet you! Rocky’s told me so much about you. Like, how you’re Rocky’s mate, and you’re… also made of rock— no. Okay.”
    I smack my cheeks a couple of times.
    “Come on. Shake it out.” 
    I make a brrrrrr noise with my lips for a few seconds then clear my throat. 
    “…”
    Come on, Ryland. 
    “…”
    Anything.
    “…”
    I swear to God, if you ask them if they like jazz.

    a.k.a. Grace is about to meet Adrian for the first time and is wondering why he can't just... be normal.

    Summary

    Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

    It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.

    Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”

    My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

    Summary

    Rocky tries to teach Grace how to speak Eridian. It goes…okay. And strangely emotionally.

    Summary

    This article is about humans who lack sexual attraction or interest in sexual activity. For the lack of romantic attraction, see Aromanticism. For the lack of a gender, see Agender. For other uses, see Asexual (disambiguation). Not to be confused with Asexual reproduction.

    So I am confused. Or, I did exactly what that little dummy paragraph said and confused asexuality with asexual reproduction. Which is something I don’t ever need to be Googling because I have a flipping doctorate in this crap. Why am I looking this up agin? I am far too exhausted for this.
