In diesem Gen-Technik-Thriller wird die Konsequenz der Wissenschaft zu einem Alptraum, den Individuen durch subversive Anarchie unterwandern und letztlich ad absurdum widerlegen.

Mars is toxic and dust must be dealt with when entering and leaving. Gangsters when transporting "product" across town have to deal with buses and subways and bridges. When wanting privacy for a triste, the pair must deal with Death Valley type heat as well as their own sweat, and (because they are nocturnal) sunshine.</p><p>This isn't to say my settings don't have character. They are what the MC will either notice when they look (like shining a flashlight into a black room to illuminate important bits) or remember (exclusively what they like or annoys them) as it becomes a venue within which MCs and SCs interact. Take the following setup (the entire description of the setting):</p><blockquote><p>... [It was] a dance studio. Two walls of French doors. Two walls of mirrors. A barre with a brass top. Golden oak wood floor. A black tin ceiling with an embossed red fleur de lis pattern. A tiny kitchen and a smaller loo. She threw open all twelve windows; breezes billowed the thin drapes. ...Draperies flapped like a sail as they played noisily. Pepper trees spiced the air.</p></blockquote><p>The following happens:</p><ul><li>The MC feels the cold mirror against her back.</li><li>Bits of broken door are strewn across the floor.</li><li>SCs climb down trees.</li><li>The antagonist (an angel) flies out one window and in another.</li><li>The antagonist checks the loo for an attic door, then opens the oven.</li><li> The antagonist checks the mirrors to see if any push in to hide a door.</li><li>The MC rolls the unconscious antagonist out a window, hidden from outside observers by the drapes.</li></ul><p>If my settings are anything else, they're <em>background</em> characters.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>

Do you fear it? CW: Fictional character talking about death and violence,</p></blockquote><p>[Devil-girl:] Funny question, but you <em>are</em> paying for my professional services as a troubleshooter, so I'm game: As far as I am concerned, I've already died— </p><p>No, I won't say more than I had run away and was old enough to pass as an adult—and <em>he noticed.</em> I died as far as I'm concerned. That I even <em>woke</em> after the attack was pure chance (or miscalculation on the part of my attacker) being dragged through the mud to be disposed of. He was bigger than me, more massive, had a longer reach, and I suspect <em>experience.</em> </p><p>I had had a sense of invulnerability. </p><p>Shattered. </p><p>In the moment, it wasn't about fearing death. It was instinct to stay alive that allowed me to plan, to resist with what I had: Mud, gravity, a thunderstorm, rain, and night. I obviously escaped. I may have killed him; I saw him on fire, but I didn't check. At that moment I learned I could fight, that I need not ever be made chattel again, and… <em>I liked it. A lot.</em></p><p>As a bodyguard, and later revealed as a personage someone decided to assassinate, I died twice more. Both times I saved people, the last time my lover and the assassin, but not myself. Through more chance than skill, I got revived both times. Obviously. I have a limp that shows up when I'm tired. I can show you scars.</p><p>I don't think I am capable of fearing death anymore. Doesn't mean I lack survival instinct, or that I don't panic, or do things to put myself in unnecessary danger. Not stupid.</p><p>However, I <em>understand</em> death. (For the record, I was a goth girl way before I ran away.) That first time, and the subsequent times, I realized something. I was there, and present. I saw my first attacker before he sucker-punched me out. I was there, then nothing. </p><p>Disconnect. </p><p>Then present again. </p><p>One time it will be a disconnect. I won't even know, or care by that measure. It's not substantially different than falling asleep and not dreaming:</p><p>Bedtime, then morning.</p><p>Obviously, what's to fear? I fear more not being able to save people who might depend on me not to die.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/death" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>death</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>

Her parents were kind and strict, but when she told them essentially that she wanted to become what they saw as a menial laborer, they grounded her, got her tutors, and left her no choice but to rebel. </p><p>Later in life, blackmailed and working for the mob, she understood she'd been stupid and could recognize it in others, or simply empathize. Be there. Listen. Say the right thing that might make a difference. It's what led her to think she could be friends with the devil girl, who was far smarter than the rest, and in her quietness more dangerous. But her reflection on her childhood made the difference; when it counted, the devil girl took her along when she broke free from the mob. </p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>

(For example, are they proud of it, or are they considered a hometown hero?)</p></blockquote><p>Zilch. Nada. Bupkis. She was born there, but never graduated high school. She was one of those girls who was interested in boys (with muscles) far more than studies, and had her eye on a trade. It was constraining. She was discriminated against because of who she was. She hated the place; felt it constraining; knew everyone wanted her to do things she would hate doing. Later, she broke some windows and rolled a moving van (not hers, but one of those that wouldn't hire her) down a hill. Whether anyone figured out she was the guilty party and whether she's wanted by the constables, who knows? She's certainly <em>not</em> a hometown hero! She ran. In another city, she got tangled up with the mob. </p><p>Now that she's been offered (and has accepted) a place in the praetorian guard (not Roman, but otherwise the same idea) and is training, she <em>might</em> get some press in her hometown. She's certainly not going to <em>tell</em> anyone back home. Definitely not her disapproving parents, for starters, even if they might finally be proud of her.</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>romance</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>

CW: Crude Language, duh.</p></blockquote><p>There is almost never an opportunity to use conventional or "modern" foul-mouthed language in any of my stories because there is no connection to 19th-21st century Earth. In <em>Mars Needed Women,</em> one character just uses the word <em>asshole;</em> his using it comes off as very quaint since he's a rough character now in his early fifties (but still sexy), talking about how awful he was when young. There are plenty of other made up or repurposed words, but no defined martian "swears." Instead, here is May Ri listening to her daughter:</p><blockquote><p>The teenager, her green eyes sparkling with the same fire her father's eyes often evidenced, explained what she meant in great <em>unvarnished</em> detail. The words "hypocrites" and "misogynists" featured along side <strong>martian swear words that made May Ri's ears burn.</strong> Mari had <em>studied</em> her father's "situational" rhetoric thoroughly.</p></blockquote><p>In the Reluctance Series, I make up "words." But first, for those who have followed me long enough to have learned about the <strong>devil girl,</strong> she's funny in that if someone is about to swear, she warns, <em>"Language!"</em> In most contexts (mob, prizefighter, "princess"), whomever she says this to abides, or regrets it if they don't.</p><p>The following words may seem like cheats, but give them a moment to sink in before you conclude that. It's amazing how quickly a reader can get used to even nonsense when it has a definite context.</p><p>While these are day angel slang, Thorn Rose uses them without much situational awareness (she's a daemon). Day angels have feathered wings and control surfaces, double-shoulders and extra joints to make it work, and use reluctant forces to let them fly. There's also night angels—too many spoilers there—but day angels so far are portrayed as lower class. These "swears" come from them; bear in mind, <em>these people are very human.</em></p><p><em>Flap</em> v. as in, "Are you <em>flapping</em> crazy?" or intr. "<em>Flap it all!</em>" Not a synonym for sexual intercourse, but it does imply getting hit up side the head with a feathered wing. It serves the purpose. </p><p>I originally used in a teen-rated YA!</p><p><em>Flap and fluff</em> n., NSFW originally involving wings and someone male, but you can use it generally for what's implied. Yes, the novel is "racy."</p><p>[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoostingIsSharing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mystery</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/thriller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thriller</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sf</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sciencefiction</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a><br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSdiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSdiscussion</span></a> <br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSstory</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSMarsNeededWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSMarsNeededWomen</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSReluctanceStory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSReluctanceStory</span></a></p>
