In Greek Theatre, there is a technical term for what Dorian Sanders had just experienced. Dorian knew the term well, given his impressive grades in Drama back at high school. The term was peripatea. It means reversal of fortune - a shift in the narrative. When the tragic hero goes too far down the r...

Dorian pulled the trigger. BANG BANG BANG. Wait, there weren't any bullets in this... No sooner had Dorian completed that thought than his left leg jerked backwards, forcing him off balance and face first into the ground. He collided with the muddy ground with a squelch, but that wasn't what was bot...

"You can talk to her, but you keep your distance. Any move to hurt her or anyone else, and I won't miss again. Got it?" Dorian ignored the personified bravado holding the gun and turned to Madison, thinking angrily, Goddamn it, if I weren't preaching non-violence and in danger of making m...

"Stay the fuck away from me you creep. I'm warning you, I know how to use this...for christ sakes guys this guy's a loony! Do something!" "Y..yeah, d-..don't c..come over here!!" What are these people, fucking dense? Dorian stopped dead in his tracks, baffled. The girl on her ar...

Gunfire was a sound Dorian had become all too familiar with in the last couple of days. It wasn't a sound he liked - it symbolised everything wrong with this whole scenario, and then there was the whole bullets = death thing. Dorian figured he could go his whole life never hearing gunfire again, hap...

((Dorian continued from Guns For Show, Knives For A Pro )) What do you do when you're not sure? The last thing Dorian expected to be running through his mind at this time was the opening soliloquy from a play, any play, least of all a play about pedophilia in the Catholic church. But it the situatio...

Too much was happening for Kathy to truly fathom what the heck was going down. People were diverging on the field from left, right and centre, a maniac was shooting at them, Becky was injured - and then the last voice Kathy wanted to hear echoed through the clearing. "OI! Girl from the caves! Y...

Blam. Blam. Blam. Blam. Kathy was taken aback by the sudden sound of gunfire on the edge of the field, and she reacted quickly despite her fatigued state, diving to the ground and breathing slowly, quietly. She looked back at Becky, who... "Oh heck no," she breathed. While Kathy had not b...

"Do you...what do you think...Ryan...where is he?" Kathy held Becky's gaze. Kathy had no idea. Ryan had gone off to get something - Kathy couldn't even remember what it was - and they had left the caves. In hindsight, it wasn't a great idea - Ryan would have no idea where they were, and, ...

Kathy wasn't prepared for Becky to coming bowling out of the jungle and in to her, so the collision took her by surprise, winding her. The air escaped from her lungs and she wheezed, tears forming in her eyes. It was all too much, and Kathy just lay there, breathing shortly and sharply. Becky picked...

((Continued from Ratio Decidendi )) Kathy charged out of the jungle, shaken. She wanted to vomit, but couldn't, having nothing left to vomit. She wanted to sleep, but couldn't, the images etched in her mind and keeping her awake. She wanted to escape, but couldn't, because Danya refused to let them....

"Look man, I want to say yes, but my best friend is out there wandering around trying to hunt someone, and I'm scared for him. Hell, there are probably going to be people who will associate him to me with killing Serenity. He's in danger. Viki and I are going to go look for him." Steve's ...

Dorian watched as Vikki voiced her concerns to Steve. Dorian couldn't exactly make out what she was saying - the rain had only eased up slightly, but still drowned out a lot of noise - but he could tell it wasn't good. He looked down at the ground, forlorn. Everything had gone to the crapper since t...

The sudden Street Fighter sound effect had startled everyone, and Dorian was holding his butcher's knife in a rather threatening manner when Stephanie decided to get up from the ground. "What the hell happened here? And what the hell was that noise?!" Dorian turned around to look at her. S...

Dorian's master plan hadn't gone exactly according to...well, plan. Intending to hack at Shawn's shins with the knife, tripping him and injuring, but not killing him, Dorian had lunged at his legs. Unfortunately, he had not appreciated that Shawn was bigger, stronger, faster and albeit more formidab...
