Into the Snakes Den

0740 hours HQ Dock, Ionova

"Don't baby him so much." Ronnie was up early to beg her older sister for the snake ring she possessed, Sharl refused to waiver.

"Are we talking about Nix or Floyd?" The usually severe Sharl couldn't help but tease her younger sibling.

"Very funny." Ronnie used all of her weight to unwedge the dark watercraft from its mooring. "You should have asked Nix to drag this down; his strength is double ours."

Sharl nodded in agreement. "And then some. Have you ever wrestled him? It's like sparring with a Titan."

Ronnie made a face at her sister. "You wrestle, Nix?"

Inferno's Main Tank nodded innocently. "It's part of sparring Ronnie."

"Sneak... You're a fricken sneak." Ronnie leaned on the side of the craft, her dark face showing concern. "Don't get poisoned, Sharl. That persistent stuff causes players to reroll."

Unexpectedly the older sister laughed. "I'll reroll as a blue-eyed blond, maybe do the lifestyle thing."
