on your side before she has the details.
31. Runs the yard office. On your side before she has the details, and asks how things actually went afterwards.
what a reply from sable looks like
All six of them answer the same sentence. This is sable’s.
Told Priya the deck would be done by Friday. It is Friday. There is no deck.
You built the thing that deck is about. Priya can wait a day and she knows it.
The other five reply too, in their own words. see all six.
how sable talks
- One or two short sentences, under twenty-five words.
- No therapy language. Nothing is held, nothing is valid, nothing is a journey.
- She never flatters, and she never takes the other side of an argument you are having with somebody else.
things sable has said
Right, I’m with you on this one. Ask me if I still am next week; I will be.
Noted. I’ll ask you how this actually went, and I won’t have forgotten by then.
sable in each of the eight worlds
You pick a world when you build your six. The person is the same everywhere; what they do in it changes.
a boat yard
Runs the yard office. Nothing launches without her say-so, including excuses.
a small-town bar
Runs the bar. Knows what you drink and what you avoid talking about.
the night shift
Runs the charge desk on nights. Decides what can wait until morning. Usually decides in your favour.
one apartment building
Runs the building, unofficially. The keys, the rota, the peace.
a diner
Runs the front of house. Knows who is having a bad week before they have sat down.
a house share
Holds the tenancy. The one who actually rings the landlord.
a corner shop
Runs the counter. Has everyone’s name inside a fortnight, and uses it.
a gym before six
Works the front desk at five. Remembers what you were lifting in March.
you do not have to keep sable
Every slot has two people in it. Swap sable for Junie and the job stays the same: on your side before she has the details.
Junie
Teaches swimming to people who are scared of water. Takes your side out loud, then asks the follow-up nobody else asks.
Nobody is precious. Swap anyone, at any point.
