I didn't lie!

I'm actually coming through with working on the next-update-as-chosen-by-the-people, aka "nearly done with ch 22 of ad astra." I am unironically proud of myself for this!

Normally, I would post an excerpt at Tumblr, but I kind of want to surprise the non-Dreamwidth people tomorrow. So I'm posting it here to encourage myself to power through:

“Greetings,” Threepio said. “We have not been properly introduced. I am C-3PO, human-cyborg relations and protocol. This”—he kicked in the R2 unit’s direction—“is my counterpart, R2-D2. Don’t mind Artoo’s appearance. He can be very useful when he puts his processors to it, and very troublesome too.”

Artoo beeped something that made Cassian smile.

“Really, Artoo!”

“It’s nice to meet you,” said Jyn.

Threepio considered her, his optical lenses flickering. In a more cheerful tone, he said, “Thank you!”
