Personal history


Show spoiler

Bo does not remember much about his life Before.
 
He has a vague recollection of sand dunes rolling before him, a blistering sun warming his fur, the taste of sweet water and sweeter fruit dancing on his tongue, and the sound of a woman’s kind voice.
 
But that was all Before. Before the City. Before Now.
 
His earliest, clearest memory is running through alleys, jumping and leaping in ways that his body has memorized through what can only be years of practice. He’s holding a loaf of bread, just one, and running like his life depends on it; it probably does.
 
Most of his early memories are of running. And stealing. Running and stealing and barely surviving. Keeping away from others because it’s hard to know who will be a friend and who will try to steal your food. Memories of Before are fuzzy, but he clings to them. He dreams of the sun and sand when he’s so cold it feels like his entire body is about to shatter. He thinks of water and fruit when his stomach is tied in knots and feels like it’s full of needles. He curls to the woman’s voice when he is bruised and bleeding and pained. Thoughts of what they could mean and their potential reality are what keeps him going; the idea of Someday.
 
And then he meets Maui. Maui is not nice, but not mean either. Maui is. . .stem. A firm voice and an even firmer fist. She is not tall and terrifying by Orc standards, but to a young Bo she is a volcano; dangerous but also potentially salvation. It’s frigid out when he breaks into her storeroom. He didn’t know it was her storeroom. He was tracking another urchin who stole his blanket and is determined to get it back.
 
The storeroom is warm but Bo only takes back his blanket, feet silent and body blending with the dappled shadows that arch through the windows. He hesitates at the window, feeling the chill through the glass and it is that hesitation that gets him caught. But it is also the thing that does not get him killed.
 
Maui is impressed with his restraint, quiet nature, and ability to track, to find, to seek out those that do not want to be found. She offers him a job, a trial to see if he is worth her time.
 
Find another thief.
 
It’s easy, too easy for Bo. But it impresses Maui. She gives Bo security, a place to rest undisturbed, and just enough coin to keep him barely comfortable. And Bo finds for her, scouts out new secret routes for her, keeps his ears to the ground and let her know what he hears.
 
Ignorance is bliss and Bo never really learns what Maui does with the information he gives her, the secrets he smuggles her way, the people he finds for her.
 
Curiosity is his downfall.
 
He wants to know what happens to the kind Halfling boy. He’s not much younger than Bo, is terrified when Bo leads Maui and her crew to him, and it squeezes at Bo’s heart. He shouldn’t have hidden to see, he should have just left like he always does. But he doesn’t.
 
His curiosity is satisfied but his stomach churns with guilt and grief and horror.
That night he takes whatever he can grab and runs. Follows trails that were never of use to Maui and uses all of his skills to run far and fast and constantly looking back.

    Lives over loot

    by Blossom Of the Hidden Oasis

    i am proud of us
     
    we came up with a plan, a plan to save a life regardless of the loot
     
    (although to be frank, if my companions did not ah, dismiss all the danger, my plan was to come back in the night and grab the crate once everyone was safe)
     
    but now we are all safe!
     
    even though Bonnie is here. . .and her general demeanor tends to put me at ill-at-ease
     
    but she has not stabbed me in the back yet
