Ray had been sleeping when the announcement had started up, but he'd been out so lightly a feather landing on his face would've woke him up. As he lay on his back, eyes closed ineffectually against the noise, he took the news with grim silence. More kids dead, more people he'd seen around the halls ...

Ray bowed his head along with Neill and Bob, trying his damnedest to keep his head clear of any thoughts except for Robert's words. Difficult when so much had happened, when the prayer they were saying was for the passing of two fellow students. He'd have been lying if he said it wasn't hard. "...

Mercifully, Brendan was the one who volunteered himself to separate the two bodies. That was probably one step more than Ray was willing to go, and the wrestler almost felt ashamed of himself for it. People around the deceased owed it, in their duty as human beings. You expect someone to do the same...

Ray was almost taken aback by the hug, the contact shocking him out of the reverie he'd found himself in. It took him a bit to return the hug, wrapping the girl up in arms more used to clinches than embraces. It didn't last long as the girl went back to the two corpses on the ground in front of all ...

Ray was quiet as Robert asked the guys what they were doing, and Neill suggested that the group barricade the infirmary, a plan that Ray wasn't entirely against, but also didn't believe would do them much good. It probably would've been a matter of time before one of them figured they could up their...

Ray hadn't been ready for the crash in the other room when it happened, and so he almost kicked himself for jumping like he did. Not that it was unwarranted. Considering the situation, he was sure any noise could've been something to be iffy about. He watched as Brendan sprung up immediately and hea...

Truth be told, when Brendan suggest Ray go look for the other residents of the infirmary, he wasn't at all keen on the idea. He had enough trouble trusting one person, let alone more. for fuck's sake no one would really kill anybody right? Although Brendan certainly seemed calm, plopping himself rig...

Ray stared the guy down for a minute, still thinking. The guy seemed to be more worried about living, than killing, like him. He stepped aside in response to Brendan, clearing the door. "Free country." He said. He kept his eyes on the guy, though. He wasn't about to let anyone get behind h...

Ray listened to the guy outside tick off a list of things that he was fairly certain he hadn't become yet yet could start right here one less person between you and getting back and relaxed. He wasn't about to go charging out there though. This fucker could come to him. Ray pushed the door open and ...

Ray almost jumped when someone knocked at the door. He cursed himself for not paying better attention to his surroundings, though he relaxed a little when the person in question seemed to not be playing. Still, Ray wasn't ready to calm down just yet. His eyes frantically scanned the office for somet...

((B056-Raymond Dawson-start)) When Raymond Dawson opened his eyes, he was laid out underneath a tree, the leaves spread across the branches blocking the sun. Mercifully, as the headache that was pounding in his ears would not have been kind to him if he had spikes of sun stabbing into his eyes. He d...

He was waiting in the wings for his name to be called. Frank was to Ray's right, rubbing his shoulder and going back over the gameplan as his opponent's entrance music (something with screaming and wailing guitars) played. "Don't stand with the kid more than half a minute. We've watched the tap...

((And this thread, while me writing an actual fight, I thought would be cool if other handlers bring in characters who might have been interested in seeing their classmate fight to interact and talk with the fight as a framing device. You guys post, and every so often I'll write another part or roun...

Ray wasn't hungry, but from the way her stomach was talking it was apparent Felicia was. He pushed himself up to his feet. "C'mon. Food." He headed over to the food line with Felicia in tow when she asked him about his prospects. He smiled. "Awhile, I think. I don't got any ideas abou...

Ray let his hands drop back to the table. He was wondering if it was time to actually go get some food now. He could see a couple people grabbing some food from the line. Some of it even looked edible. Still, he didn't think he was really that hungry. The conversation had filled his belly with dread...
