well, hell

[valarltd]

I meant to write a nice little Sf-Horror piece about racism, classism, knowing yourself and all that other jazz. Alternately, I was going to bang away (pardon the expression) at a contemporary about a shy but kinky librarian and a geeky scadian mechanic who makes chainmail.

So why in the name of the nine cold hells am I more than 700 words into an airship pirate attack on a luxury skyliner?

The why is under the cut

The actor is Aaron Stanford from The Hills Have Eyes. Pyro in X-Men. He also does a lot of indy movies like Winter Solstice, The Cake Eaters and Live Free or Die.

(Aaron is my Nick muse. He gets a lot of work around here, everything from Shell Shocked to Nikolai)

Henry is not well educated. It is 1870 and he's poor Irish from Boston. But he's clever and handy.
