Acacia turned slowly to Mary Ann. "She got shot," Acacia said with surprising calm. Thea was with her, and she looked back at the both of them. They'd always been a lot closer to each other than she had been to either of them, and it didn't seem right to disrupt that when Charlene was so o...

((Acacia Salinger continued from The Use of Common Sense is Authorized )) Oh okay, so this was new. One minute she and Thea were having a nice conversation, reminiscing about their time on the Cheer squad. It was the sort of conversation they might have had on the real trip. The next minute, Charlen...

((I guess we should make our exit! GMing of Rachel Gettys approved by Blastinus)) Well, Neill hadn't expected her to be quite that forthcoming. Apparently it was of importance to Rachel who was 'playing' the game and who wasn't; it was of less importance to them. He and Bobby (and Ray, his stomach t...

Feeling distinctly like the third wheel in this strange situation, Neill watched the pair of them with some curiousity. He watched Rachel more closely, wanting to know what was going through her head. Not for the first time in his life, he wished he had the power of telepathy, reading people's thoug...

Guess I'm not getting any 'guidance' then, Neill mused to himself as Rachel seemingly recognised Bobby. Frowning, he didn't want to know what must have happened to her over the last few days, Bobby had told them of his history with Rachel and Neill didn't think it was one even he was going to forge...

Neill agreed wholeheartedly with Bobby about settling down for a while. From where they were it was fairly easy to see who was coming towards them, not that either of them were particularly equipped to deal with anyone coming at them. They had a skateboard, half a broken drip stand (that Neill was p...

((Neill Robertson continued from The Magi Also this is actually day SIX at noon, I can't count)) Apparently, they had gone in the wrong direction. This wasn't anyone's fault, when Ray had disappeared into the black hole of nowhere after they had made their escape from Mad Alex and the logging road t...

For fuck's SAKE! Why did they always seem to end up running away from things? Running away from Liz because she'd turned into a time bomb. Running away from the Ranger station because the whole thing had turned into a time bomb (with precisely three minutes left to go). Always running, never peacef...

Helen nodded at Isabel neatly dished out instructions, quite happy to comply. She knew a tiny amount of morse code. Well, she knew S, and O, and how to flash out her name, the latter being a skill that was never going to be useful. When would she ever need to say "Helen" via morse code? It...

Suddenly everything seemed to happen at once. She had been reading, the silence and general scent of productivity in the air had led her to storm through her book and she was more than two thirds of the way through. She had written more quotes that she thought were pertinent on the wall, just undern...

((Helen Wilson continued from Faraday's Cages )) Helen recieved the note from Winnie, and read it three times before passing it on, her heart thudding. Why was it that they seemed to attract rescue attempts? Not that she was complaining particularly about that, she would give most her limbs to escap...

A shot ripped through her ankle. This isn't happening. Her heart stopped beating for a second, and her brain switched off, yet she could hear herself moaning from far away. Her mind was a cavern, and the world was locked outside of it. But inside the cavern there was fire, a fire that threatened to ...

He was weakening. The struggles were getting fainter, fewer and farther between. She was winning, against all odds. She was going to get her revenge for whatever it was he had done. Still she murmured the Lord's Prayer out loud, unaware that the same thought was going through Raidon's head. It was p...

((Maddy Stone continued from These Three Remain )) Naoko Raidon had just killed somebody. She'd been watching. He had stamped on the girl's inhaler as she died from an asthma attack, and then, as she lay dying anyway, shot her at close range. From behind a rock that struck jagged against the orange ...

Sleeping was, Helen was starting to feel, the best bit about being on the island. Usually, she found sleep frustrating, a time that was better spent doing other things, but now, the more she slept, the less she had to think about what was happening. Also, if she was killed in her sleep, well she fel...
