likeadeuce:Post the first sentence (or three) from
A/N: Now, I'm sure you all realize that there is absolutely no way that I can or should list every. single. WIP. I got for some obvious reasons (sheer volume), but I'll do the first three sentences of the next chapters of WIPs in my Doc Manager.
1. Mapped 2: Tracing Footprints
She groans when she sees him coming.
It's late and rain clouds have darkened the already dark sky to a lonely sort of blackness. It's just Paint and Rogue pulling shift tonight at the diner, them and Benny, their short-order cook in the back.
2. Son o' de Guild, chapter 10
"It's about time you hit the sack, kid." Logan eyed Rogue's sprawled form across his bed.
She'd ensconced herself there right after classes and refused to move until he told her absolutely everything rated PG-13 ("I am seventeen years old, you know, Logan," she'd reminded him with a scathing glare.) or less about his entire trip, which was basically a wash. No clues to his past, just an empty base and nothing to jog his nonexistent memory.
3. Snippet: Body Heat 'verse
Private Investigator Anna Marie Darkholme was known as a bit of a rogue with the Caldecott police force. She'd gotten her start the old fashioned way, coming up through the ranks, until she balked long and hard on giving up a dead case. Naturally, being the daughter of the harsher of legendary—and still active—partners Irene Adler, who always had that uncanny knack for predicting a mark's next move, and Raven Darkholme, the, bar none, most formidable officer in the district—Rogue, as the younger Darkholme was called, had little difficulty getting official blessing to continue on the case long after the district had dropped it.
4. Without a Trace, chapter 17
La Femme Fatale, the fierce, nameless patron of the New York Thieves Guild, traveled quickly and without company—in a swirl of sulphurous scent and enshrouded within her cloak. She had learned from years of using borrowed powers—those of Witness and Nightcrawler in particular—not to travel time and space at once.
She stepped briskly down the steps into her quarters at the New York Guild.
5. Diable, chapter 4
Gambit wakes to the shaking and trembling of the entire facility. He wakes as he always does when he senses trouble, alert, still, and with a lightning fast inventory taken of all available weapons.
or
Essex turned to the devil in shadow at the back of his lab. "And?"
"She's restin'," the diable replies. His gaze does not wander over the beakers and test subjects, or even stray to his lover's face. He has never had time for distraction.
6. Going Omega, chapter 3
No kills, had been scrawled across her mission files.
Raven snarled and crumpled the paper in her hand.
It's a bad moment when the blast of fiery knowledge razes her brain.
7. The Way of the Rogue, chapter 4
Rogue found out quickly why the team let Corrigan be. It was his helicopter.
8. Body Heat, chapter 2
When she returns to her rented apartment, she finds an engraved invitation to one of the most exclusive parties in New Orleans waiting for her. She has no doubts who issued it.
Of course, she accepts.
9. The Domestics, Recipe for Disaster
Sam moved quickly by the kitchen, craning his neck this way and that on the hunt for the object of his affections. A stuffed teddy bear smiled over its box of chocolate caramels behind his back.
He stopped, froze, backtracked to stare with openfaced horror into the kitchen.
10. Whisper, chapter 16
Remy is wrapping up in his classroom when he feels a prickling between his shoulder blades. He knows this feeling, the weighty discomfort of being watched. For a moment, he's thrown back into a map of bad memories, heart racing, but dismisses his students calmly before looking up into the doorway.

Mapped 2: Tracing Footprints
-- How long has Rogue been working in this restaurant/diner/kitchen? Does she like it or is it just a place to make ends meet? What are the daily specials?
Snippet: Body Heat 'verse
-- Is there anyone in the force who dislikes Anna-Marie because they think she's coasting on her parents' reputation? How many years has she been in the force? Did she always want to be a cop? Who died? (because someone's going to die, right? *cough*)
no subject
1) Since a little after joining the X-Men I think.
2) I think it's one of those ends meet sort of places, and everything went downhill after it became Xavier's go-to place to have Remy and her meet up when passing information.
3) The daily specials are quite lackluster, but they are hearty fare with a strong tendency to grease, eggs, and loads of cheese.
Snippet: Body Heat 'verse
1) I think there might be folks who dislike her, but I haven't met them yet. Though frankly I'm not sure if they think she's coasting. In this 'verse, she can be one ruthless daughter o' a gun. Though her dad doesn't like her following in Mama's footsteps. (Seeing as he's in the biz, she doesn't much care.)
2) I think she went straight in from school, but I haven't done the appropriate research to know how long that would pan out to be.
3) I think from the time she started seriously considering a profession, cop topped the list; but when she was little, she wanted to be a ballerina hands-down. (Mutant discrimination might've led to the change of career plans.)
4) I'm not sure who died because Body Heat is a separate story (in which Julien dies and you might be surprised who's the guilty party) and I didn't finish playing this one out yet. But yeah, someone died. This is officially supposed to be noir (even if I'm not sure I can write noir to save my life!).
