Everything went to hell so quickly, it took Vic a second to realize that she'd been shot. Twice. One second, she was backing away from Mizore, inching her way to the door and away from Raidon and his gun and this stupid decision. If she made it out, once she made it out, she'd go back for Alice. Dea...

Vic looked back at the sound of running feet. There was no dead body, no blood splatter on the wall, so it was pretty clear she missed. That was...good? She wanted Raidon dead, and she didn't want him dead. Hell, maybe she just didn't want to be the one to do it? Well, if that was the case, wish gra...

((Victoria Logan, continued from Stay Frosty )) Oh God, oh God, what did she do? How could she have been so stupid, so completely and totally stupid? There was one way one way and one way only she would be able to stay alive on this island, and she blew it. No, not just blew it, took that one chance...

Oh God, oh jeez, there were a lot of them, weren't there? Way too many. Considering Alice was the only one Vic had any faith in, they were vastly outnumbered, fighting-wise. This was Bounce's fault too. Maybe not the other group wandering in, Vic didn't think the Russian was some sort of super villa...

((Victoria Logan continued from Civilization at any Price )) Things were looking up for Vic. In one fell swoop, two of her three primary goals on the island were met. Find a real weapon and find Alice. Goal three was more of an endurance sort of goal, and it was no doubt a goal shared by the rest of...

Now that the hard part was over, Vic allowed herself a short break to catch her breath. A short break that she'd more then earned. Taking a seat next to Alice, she started packing the medkit back together, recovering the odds and ends that were scattered about before. Alice was fine for the moment, ...

Alice was going to piss him off, and he was going to shoot her. Then Alice would shoot him, but he'd probably kill Alice too. It was all so pointless . Why couldn't anyone else see that? Why didn't Alice shoot him before he had a chance to do anything? Like, say, now? At the rate things were going, ...

Suffice to say, this wasn't going how he had hoped. It was hopelessly naive, but Etain had been expecting something that would perfectly explain everything. Maybe something about a wacky chain of events, something. Not a confession. Definitely not a confession. It wasn't what he was expecting, or wh...

She was going to die. It came to her clearly, a sudden and clear revelation. Raido, Mr. Ninja, Mr. Had-A-Fucking-Gun-At-Her-Head, whatever, was going to shoot her. He had her at her complete mercy, a breath away from blowing her head off, and Alice was playing the tough chick. It almost felt like a ...

No, no, this wasn't right. Everyone was supposed to chill, and relax. That was all she was trying to do, to keep everyone alive, to calm everyone down. Why the fuck..what the fuck was wrong with him? Why couldn't he just let everyone split up, safe and sound? Why did he have to pull his gun in her o...

This would probably be easier if Alice eased up with her six-gun. Promises of peace weren't worth much if they were said down the barrel of a gun. But, if Alice thought that was the best course of action, she was probably right. Raidon seemed pretty strung-out, and if Alice wanted to play things saf...

((Etain Brennan continued from Lean on Me )) It would be an understatement to say things were a little tense after Etain got Kris away Reiko and the homicide gang. It wasn't just that he knew she was a killer. He'd made a sort of peace with that, in a way. It wasn't pressing until he'd heard her nam...

Make no mistake, Vic had been stuck to Alice like glue. Alice meant safety, that gun of hers meant safety. Well, there was the whole 'love' thing, too. She guessed that was pretty important. It was probably pretty selfish that she was almost more happy that Alice was armed then that she was actually...

Disappointed, but somewhat mollified, Vic climbed to her feet after Alice. All this excitement and relief has really gotten the blood pumping, and she wanted nothing more then to tackle Alice and show her how happy she was to have her back. But practical Alice was having none of that. Vic guessed th...

Vic returned the smile as she knelt over Alice. It was okay that the smile wasn't exactly sincere, considering the situation. Vic was still pretty psyched from reuniting with Alice in the first place, so there wasn't much about her girlfriend she'd find fault with at the moment. Besides, at least sh...
