Unbelievable. The two of them really couldn't keep their mouths shut now, could they? What had he even gone to the library for in the first place? Silence, of course. Welcoming, all-consuming silence. Another plan failed. He should have seen it coming. Maxim let out a pained sigh, simultaneously che...

Well, so much for attracting as little attention as possible. Now that other girl was getting irritated as well, mission critically failed. Oof, that glare of hers looked like it could melt steel beams, let alone geeky Germans. At least it wasn't directed at him. Not yet, at least. She was right tho...

"Fine, whatever. Knock yourself out." Not the kind of polite answer Maxim had hoped for, but well, it was an answer at least. An affirmative one as well. And after all, he didn't need to try and further socialize with the girl, right? No need to approach the unapproachable.  He just neede...

((Maxim Kehrenbrink continued from Mortal Coil )) Maxim was in anything but high spirits when he was about to enter the library. His striking pair of bushy eyebrows was furrowed and forming a frown as usual, but unlike most other times, he was actually aware of it. He was carrying a small bag under ...

Maxim turned his head towards his friend, then nodded. "Alright. See you later." At least he couldn't be mad at Cristo, no reason to. He had only himself to blame and that was far more preferable than the alternative, really. Cristo, he was conscientious, as he demonstrated just now. A bit...

Maxim nodded. He was staring off into the distance, though not really looking anything in particular. It was that particular state, where one's own thoughts somehow managed to override all other senses and thus effectively rendered him blind. His eyes were open, but they might have as well been clos...

"Hm." It was all Maxim said in response, nodding, then supporting his own head with one arm. It did seem to him like Cristo was telling the truth. A boy like him, he probably didn't think too much about many things, especially not those concerning the romantic realm. Still, that only meant...

There it was, exactly the answer he had expected. Just friends. Of course they were, the two of them had known each other for far longer than he and Cristo had. It was only natural they were childhood friends, shared a deep bond. Spent a lot of time together, trusted in each other et cetera. Yes, th...

There it was again, further evidence that unneeded pleasantries and courtesies didn't get one anywhere. His question seemed to have upset or rather annoyed Cristo, judging from his reaction. Either that or his friend was simply getting tired, but if he had to have guessed, he'd have said both. Even ...

Now that was convenient. Maybe it was just karma, a way of higher powers to repay him for all the inconveniences on the day thus far. Of course, he didn't believe that for a second, didn't even consider it as a possibility. But it felt good to have things go his way for once. On the one hand, he wou...

Now, that was not how it had been supposed to go. Yes, there were still other people beside himself and Cristo around, but did one of them really have to decide to seek his friend's company now, at this very moment that he was trying to talk to him in private? Well, at least the intruding person cou...

((Maxim Kehlenbrink continued from Hearts of Irony )) Finally. How long had he waited now, standing secludedly,  watching the two? Far too long, that was for certain. But still, he preferred this over the alternative, over having to approach Cristo and risk being pulled into a conversation with anot...

((Jane Madison, technically Sadies Start)) Should she or shouldn't she? Cris was probably already all sorts of busy on that party. Fuck, why didn't she just go with him in the first place? Could have avoided all of this shit. Jane sat on the edge of her bed, rubbing her temple with one hand, holding...

Alright, all fine, no problemo at all. Whole situation had been defused before it even got armed. Fi apparently hadn't overheard too much of Johnny's shenani-nanigans, nothing to worry about. Well,  nothing besides the fact that he was gettin' lotsa ideas in his head again - chick just had to go and...

Like, chick seemed still pretty chill and all. Didn't look like she had even really picked up all the stuff Johnny had said, asking what was up and shit. Maybe she'd been too distracted with her grub. Nice. Aiden shifted his position, leaned forward a bit, cupped his chin in one of his hands. Light ...
