As Alex listened in he heard the plans of leaving the area soon. They had spent a good amount of time there already so it was time to leave, and now they would be doing it with a group. Megan had grabbed a pair of slippers for Sophie and Gavin had said something about getting supplies and putting th...

Alex began to sit up; everyone had left him and went over to a small group. It seemed that they had agreed to group up together. More people was great, but it would only mean greater disappointment later on in the game if they decided they couldn't escape. Alex ran his fingers through his hair as he...

The conversation seemed to drop off soon after Alex lost himself in his imagination. The only things he could hear were sobbing and the shuffling of feet. Before the conversation ended Sophie had said something about waiting the game out. The thought was nice, but Alex didn't think it would be possi...

Alex listened attentively to the conversation as he stared at the ceiling. He heard sobbing over from the direction of Gavin and Megan but figured that it didn't concern him. Even the conversation he was currently in could be held without him. He found out that the girls name was Grace and that was ...

Alex watched the heartfelt scene between Megan and Gavin until he was snapped back to reality by the sound of someone else's voice. It was the girl that had been with Gavin asking what they had been doing there. Alex's feeling to need to use jokes went away with the reunion he witnessed. "We're...

It didn't really seem like Alex was going to be getting his jokes. What he had hoped would be a friendly meeting with possible new allies quickly turned into a very emotional one. Megan and the guy of the other group, Gavin, seemed to know each other. Alex thought to himself about the name Gavin and...

Receiving the reaction he expected from his companions, Alex waited to hear if the intruders were there to kill them. They replied with denial, though that was what Alex expected. Whether they were really there to kill them or not, it wasn't likely that they would say yes. Still, it was early in the...

Alex heard the footsteps coming closer as the sound of rubber on linoleum got louder. He also heard voices but couldn't quite discern how many there were. He couldn't make out what was being said but hoped that it wasn't a plan to raid all the stores and kill whoever they found. He didn't know if it...

Alex listened to the exchange of greeting between Sophie and the other girl. The other girl said that her name was Megan in a rather theatrical way. Afterwards Alex moved close to the two and introduced himself, "Anyway, now that you two know each other; I'm Alex." Alex then jumped back on...

"MacGyver? No, I don't have nearly enough paperclips handy to be him." Alex looked for Sophie and then began walking over with her new down comforter in hand. As he closed the distance he heard a few more snippets of dialogue from between her and the voice. The last thing said was simply s...

The space in Alex's duffel was a bit tight with the addition of the comforter, but it would be worth it when they had to stay out in the cold somewhere. Sophie had asked for her own so Alex began opening up another one of the sets and pulling out the blanket. A few moments into the process he heard ...

Alex turned to the sound of Sophie's voice and walked into the Linens and Things. It certainly seemed that it would be hard to find shoes in there, but it wouldn't be impossible. At the least they would have slippers, and probably some pretty comfortable ones. Shoes didn't really interest him so Ale...

Alex looked around at the stores as they passed by. Most of them seemed to have broken or faded signs so that it was difficult to make out what they were. He hoped that they might pass a book store that had manga so that he could get something to keep his interest in the rare even that he had down t...

Alex heard Sophie's rejection of his offer to let her use his shoes. He felt dumb because he had offered it so late; the floor of the shopping center wouldn't likely be a problem because of the smooth linoleum. He watched as Sophie then used a bandanna to tie back her hair. "I hope we can find ...

((Alexander de Gaulle continued from There Will Be a Short Stopover on the way to Disney Land )) After leaving the hotel Alex had been alone for a while, but he had managed to find Sophie and group up again. It was a happy moment for him since he hadn't found any other friends on the island yet and ...
