(Tony Acardi continued from More like FART EXHIBITION ) Well, breakfast sucked. Just some kind of... protein bar? Energy bar? Tony didn't know what they called it. All he knew was that it tasted like cardboard, and he didn't have a ton of food, so that was all he could have for breakfast. He didn't ...

(Timeskip done with permission) Hmm... heavier, dark skin, long dark hair? Saffron could think of a few girls she knew who could fit that description, so unfortunately that wasn't enough for her to put a name to the descriptor. However, she could at least keep it in mind. Every little bit of informa...

Kyle did as the angel said and closed his eyes. In the moments following, a calm smile slowly formed on his face. He was going to be okay. Violet was going to be okay.

It was going to be okay.

Kyle kept his sight on the angel, not that he could really move his head that much anyway, and looked into what he was pretty sure was her eyes. "I have a friend here... Violet. Violet Schmidt." He spoke weakly as his body continued to fail him, but his words were clear. "I think she'...

She disappeared, and Kyle became worried. Was she leaving? Why would she leave? There must have been a reason why she was here. Why would she leave without explaining what it was? Fortunately, that was not the case, as her blurry shape returned to him just a few seconds later. He felt that something...

She didn't answer his question, and that only made Kyle's panic worse. Everything was hurting so much, and he had a hard time focusing on anything aside from what was in front of him. His face became more strained with worry as he continued to look at her. It took him a while to find his voice again...

When the beam was lifted, Kyle's condition was revealed. His glasses had been smashed, the frame bent into an unusable shape, and the lenses shattered. He was half-blinded by blood pouring from a wound in his head where the corner of the beam had hit him, which combined with his already poor eyesigh...

"All right!" Kyle exclaimed with a bounce in his step. "We'll probably only find things like chips or crackers, or maybe candy, but it'll be a step up either way, right?" He headed to his designated side of the temple and started looking around, under benches and in cabinets. Gen...

"Yeah, we can do it." Kyle said optimistically, almost overly so. "I think that we'll be all right. We'll think of something." His words were those of reassurance. He said that things would be okay because that was what he wished for. And for now, the best way to work towards tha...

Due to some limited internet availability on my part in the next couple of days, I would like to ask for an extension of five days on Kyle's death scene.

I will not have internet access for almost all of Friday and most of Saturday. I will be on the road for most of those two days or otherwise unable to get online.

A gun... So that was what they had to rely on now? Violet's gun? It was sad to even think that they had already been reduced to relying on whatever the biggest knife, or largest gun was for safety. They weren't barbarians. Problems could be solved through conversation, or compromise. That was how i...

Tony could feel his whole body loosen up after being tense for the whole conversation, and he let out a long, heavy sigh of relief. Justin was fine, Aliya was fine, Michael was fine, and he was fine. Shit was good. Well, relatively good considering everything else that was going on. All things consi...

"Yeah, it's all right. Everything's all right." Saffron added her voice to the choir of reassurances that Lizzie was receiving. It was far easier to be friends with the the nervous, jumpy new person than be her enemy. That was Saffron's strategy when dealing with most people, with a few de...

The impact of what Violet had just told him froze Kyle in place, the only movement coming from his appalled and terrified eyes. He didn't know Artem, but what Lorenzo did... it was totally inexcusable. And again, that happened before they had been kidnapped, so that horrible action was completely hi...
