“Unfortunately this looks like it’s as good a shelter as we’re gonna get.” Jackson was glad that Henry turned out to be a friendly face. You never quite knew anymore. Hell, he was still surprised that in the end Aurelien hadn't made mincemeat of his face with that mace of his back at the bay. Someho...

The sound of the maul cutting through Emil’s nose was god-awful. Lorenzo’s eyes widened in surprise when his attack hit it’s mark. Well, not completely. He’d intended to sink the blade directly into the other boy’s skull, but… That wasn’t how it worked out. The amount of blood that flew from his fac...

Another miss. This time followed by the back of Emil’s hand colliding with his cheek. It didn’t hurt, but it startled Lorenzo enough to stagger him a bit and to let Emil make his way behind him. If Lorenzo wasn’t pissed off enough already, now he was raging mad. He spun on his heel to meet Emil’s ga...

Lorenzo’s swing was off target. The maul crashed not into the back of Emil’s head like he planned, but instead took a chunk out of the tree he’d been pissing on. Emil was ready for him. He’d moved out of the way of the assault before Lorenzo had even made his move. Stupid. The tracker. Emil must hav...

This was everything he could have asked for right now. It was almost too good for words. [Lorenzo Tavares Continued From Gimme, Gimme Shelter, or I’m Gonna Fade Away ] Lorenzo left the temple hours ago, and had an opportunity to collect himself somewhat. He wasn’t crying anymore. His stomach was sti...

Lorenzo allowed himself a bit of a reprieve as he stood at the entrance to the temple, watching the rain fall on the morning as he slowly smoked his cigarette. The temple was high up the cliff, so from here Lorenzo’s view of the island was honestly quite spectacular, even as the rain continued its a...

Amelia’s face immediately twisted into a look of concern when Theo reported Declyn’s condition. Sick? How sick? What kind of sick? He didn’t drink the water, so he should be fine, right? She pulled at the hem of her skirt in frustration and panic. What would they do if Declyn needed a doctor? She di...

[Jackson Sullivan Continued From The Sky Is A Neighbourhood ] The group of three trudged ever onward after they left the bay the day before. As the night came and then the next morning after, Jackson felt himself becoming more and more uncomfortable with his decision to follow Ariana and Aurelien. ...

“No problem.” Lorenzo chuckled in response to Stephanie’s request. Even he wasn’t enough of an exhibitionist to just let it all out there for the world to see. Really, he just wanted to peel off his jeans and get into something relatively dry. The others attention had turned to Gervais now, so Loren...

Before he knew it, Aurelien had grabbed the other end of Sapphire’s body and they made their way to the water, getting deep enough to float her off. It reminded him of a Viking Funeral, but there was no fire with which to burn her as she was condemned to her watery grave. Still… anything was better ...

They were all talking about what had happened to them so far. As she listened, she felt as if her and Declyn’s misadventures paled in comparison to the others’ ordeals. Sure, someone had spiked their drinks in an attempt to cause confusion and maybe do something sinister, but gratefully nothing terr...

Jackson flinched back at Aurelien’s growl. He backed a few steps away with a look of deep concern across his face. Aurelien was very obviously not in the mood to be comforted. Fucking duh, Jackson you asshole. The shitty attempt he made to assuage the larger boy’s grief was a waste from the beginnin...

Everyone was introducing themselves or other people, and Amelia felt a bit out of place. She wasn’t exactly the kind of person who was used to making introductions and meeting people. Just yesterday she’d met three new people, and one of them turned out to be a bad person! It was too many people at ...

Stephanie’s response to his greeting was rather expected. She and he were not friends, and, if anything, he was probably someone she wasn’t fond of. That was fine. He didn’t feel the need to be liked by everyone. Honestly, it made being here a bit easier knowing that he was probably doing exactly wh...

Aurelien was still paused, and it seemed like Jackson and Ariana’s words were sinking in just a bit. Hel, too came in and attempted to soothe the obviously enraged and not thinking Aurelien. Sapphire’s body was cold and long dead. The Announcements were hours ago, before the rain started to pelt the...
