((Neill Robertson continued from Don't Fear The Reaper )) After the Inland Woods were downgraded from Danger Zone to Normal Zone, they decided to head there. After all, it was unlikely that there would be too many other people there, and it was a large area so if there were any, hopefully, they woul...

SHIT. Shit, fuck, shit. Helen's blood ran cold. That was Liz being outed over the tannoy, that was their Math teacher telling them to kill her and be rewarded with a shiny new weapon. Shit. She reckoned a free ticket home would be a more effective incentive for killing her, if that were the case He...

((Helen Wilson continued from Day of the Dove )) This is your time to shine. Odds were she was never actually going to become a doctor, Helen was fast realising this. She'd barely even made it onto the first rung of the ladder, getting accepted into a well respected pre-med course. That didn't mean ...

Gently stroking her abdomen, Helen nodded along to what Leila was saying, playing along to her role as nurse. In reality, she had very little idea what she was doing. This was all alien to her, it was supposed to be years and years before she was looking after patients of her own. She glanced up, th...

Dave left. Then Kitty left. When Kitty left, Helen got up and started to follow her, taking two steps before guilt took over, and she looked back at Leila. She couldn't leave her, not after leaving Liz. Somewhere inside her brain, she suspected that they wouldn't be coming back. People didn't come b...

Helen shrugged at Dave's sarcastic response, lacking the energy to feel offended, and accepting that she'd probably had said something similar if the roles were reversed. She couldn't help but whisper under her breath, out of earshot of Dave and Kitty at the very least, "at least we're still al...

((Helen Wilson continued from ---,,-,-, somethingorother )) It had been pandemonium. Minutes after they had succeeded shapes had come out the the mist and they had been attacked, seemingly without provocation, though Roland hadn't seemed all that surprised by their presence. Still, to give him credi...

Acacia jumped as Ricky started walking towards them, her heart racing. She felt unnaturally nervous, perhaps it was the fact that Charlene and Thea had both drawn weapons as well, it wasn't just her overreacting, they thought there was something to point a gun about as well. For a second, as she sto...

((Sorry for holding things up, I did give the offer to skip me! I've finally managed to get on though)) As Ricky entered with his drunken gestures, Acacia looked nervously at Charlie and Thea. It hadn't been very long since James' death, and even though Ricky, whom she'd always gotten on well with, ...

((Yay for posts with no speech!)) Acacia's eyes widened at Charlie's sarcastic tone, partly out of surprise, partly out of, well, something else. She was confused, torn between happiness to see her friend alive, and disappointment at finding her in a bad way, and thinking that she might well make a ...

This was looking promising, admittedly she hadn't quite decided what they were going to do with Joe once he got to them, she was envisioning that shoelaces and guns would be heavily involved in one way or another. But then, he went and ruined it all by apparently chickening out and running away. It ...

"Perhaps," Acacia replied, her eyes staring quizzically at the wall in front of her. Her brain was attempting to clink into gear and think of some way to make this little experience fun. The bitchy side of her brain that was normally docile and sleeping was starting to wake up, the way it ...

"I already injected some, need te eat after otherwise my sugar will drop to minus ten and I'll explode or something," Acacia said conversationally, as usual, unable to take her diabetes seriously when someone else was. That had always annoyed her doctors, who had thought she didn't underst...

"Mostly telling off classmates who think they matter," Acacia smiled, widely. Two days ago, was it really only two? whatever, a couple of days ago, when she had last seen Thea, the girl's manner had annoyed her. What was is she had said to her? "We're all equal here." She'd been...

As Thea came into view, the gun that she had been listlessly trailing along behind her was cocked and pointed at the girl, before Acacia had even thought about who she was. At a glance she might have appeared convincing, her stance was firm and her left hand steadied her right wrist, and there was a...
