Progress report?

Hey [community profile] megaflare_ff authors! Your absentee mods return, finally crawling out from under the twin rocks of work and school, to check in. How's it going so far? What's everyone working on?

With the rough draft deadline approaching, seems like an opportune moment to share some snippets. Drop a note with a paragraph or so in comments. Ready, set, go!

I only have 1400 words, but I'll get more this weekend. Probably.

FF12, AU. This snippet references some character death. The gist of the AU is that Ashe and Vossler do not escape the palace to form the Resistance, and Ashe rules as a puppet queen, client to the Archadian Empire.

Gauntleted hands seized her, dragged her from her hiding spot. She stumbled, and one of them caught her. More light approached.

"What passes here?" The accent was distinctly Archadian, and the voice was not pleased.

"We have captured the princess for you, Judge Gabranth," one of the men behind her said.

She wondered how a judge had found his way into the royal family's escape route.

"And her guardian? Captain Azelas?" Now that he was closer, she could see that he wore a massive helm such as only the highest-ranking Judges did, and his voice echoed oddly within the steel.

"Slain, Judge Magister," another soldier said. "He resisted."

"Idiots!" Judge Gabranth exclaimed. "Did I not tell you explicitly that Princess Ashelia and Captain Azelas were to be taken alive?"

"He has slain ten of our own, Judge Magister," the first soldier said.

"And did they draw steel first?" the Judge demanded, then slashed a gauntleted hand through the air. "Never mind. Is the princess harmed?" He approached, until she could smell the leather beneath the steel, mingling with the stench of blood and effluvia. "Princess Ashelia, I am Judge Magister Gabranth. Are you well?"

*prrrrrs*

Yeah. He is deliberately being less controlled than he probably could, in this scene; the fury is an act. *innocentfais*
