Aww

: "Good idea. And thanks for the ride."

Harlan got inside the village gates and hunted for the closest tavern where he could take shelter. Preferably one with a roaring fire.

+1 to Analogue, Hate Plus, and Long Live the Queen. The sale also includes Carpe Fulgar's works (Recettear, Chantelise, and Fortune Summoners) which are all pretty good. The Ys games are nice hack-and-slash titles; I prefer Oath in Felghana and Origin over the I & II collection. Anyone have recommendations for some of the other titles?

Harlan nodded at Tomik's question.

: "He just grabbed me by the shirt. I'll be fine, assuming we get out of this damned rain soon." Despite his words, he seemed a bit short of breath from the suddenness of being lifted into the air.

Ketsuki tapped Harlan on the shoulder companionably.

"It seems you've made a friend, doesn't it?"

: "Oh yes. Just like the friends back home."

Harlan wasn't sure what was more surprising: the pirate's sudden attack or the fact that the others seemed to be sticking up for him...sort of.

: "Knock it off, you idiot. We can sort this out inside, OUT of the rain."

I've been working on a book the past couple of days called The Martian. It has nothing to do with green-skinned aliens with ray guns. Not yet, anyway, and I'm pretty close to the end.

It's actually a pretty hard sci-fi novel about a man who gets mistaken - and left - for dead during the emergency dust-off of a Mars expedition. The story is mostly told through the written log entries of the astronaut as he tries to figure out how to maximize his survival time. He's got supplies for 6 people to survive a month, but it will be years before the next expedition arrives...unless he can somehow let NASA know that he's still alive. It's very good, very tense, and (unexpectedly) very funny. Gallows humor for the most part, of course.

Um. (17,17) is a wall. How is Miguel supposed to canto there?
