Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.

It’s good to get back to some humor. I also had some stage setting to do for the future. It’s important to do that every now and then.

Girii: Oh, god, it's so hot.
Roger: Well, yeah, we're getting near Africa. Captain said we're three days out from port.
Girii: I wish I had some other clothes to wear.
Roger: I'm sure you can buy some in Dakar. They probably got all kinds of bikinis and stuff. I mean, not that you're the kind of girl who would wear a bikini...
Girii: Why not?
Roger: Oh, cause you're, I mean, you know, you're...fat.
Jacob: Why do you have a black eye?
Girii: Because I'm an empath, and Roger's a jerk.

    Haha this made me laugh my ass off.

  2. soupygeorge says:

    So every time Giri deals out some damage, she suffers it too?

  3. мaгтэи says:

    Truth hurts (and in her case, it hurts twice). Giri singlehandedly raises the mean BMI of every character ever appearing in genocideman by at least a full point. In cold climes, it made sense, in the same way that wooly mammoths and giant sloths once did. And in recent years, animals have gotten smaller still. In a horrible biological generalization, more energy –> less mass.

  4. Remus Shepherd says:

    That’s what I was going for, Soupygeorge.

    But let’s be honest, Girii isn’t that much overweight. Roger is just that much of a jerk. 🙂

  5. Not to worry, I never seen a Senegalese wear a bikini, but they’re the best dressed women anywhere…On the other hand, I have not been there for a while…
