((Reiko Ishida continued from Reflection )) The problem with having no real goal in mind when travelling is that, since you don't have a target location, you tend to wander aimlessly and pointlessly. Reiko Ishida was finding this to be something of a problem. It seemed she was no closer to finding s...

Maddy sighed with relief when the girl took her offer. She wasn't exactly ready to die yet, so it was nice someone was still reasonable around here. She heard the other girl run off, and after a couple of minutes Maddy followed suit, going as fast as her fatigued body took her. ((Madeleine Smith con...

Maddy didn't know what to say in response to the girl's reasoning. Everything she said made complete sense. The chances of being saved were slim to none at this point, and it was a well known fact that you were set free if you won. On some level, Maddy knew that was why she was still trying to survi...

Everything that meant anything to her had either been taken away from her, or she'd destroyed it herself in her stupidity, and the one chance she had left seemed like a more remote possibility than ever. Reiko blinked and wiped the tears that were starting to gather from her eyes. She needed to supp...

Maddy instinctively ducked when she heard the gunfire, scrambling to get behind cover. Thankfully she was right next to the door, which meant cover was easy to find. Part of her was kicking herself for falling into such an obvious trap, but she quickly shoved that thought aside. Deep down she knew t...

((Madeleine Smith continued from You'll Have To Excuse Me, I'm Not At My Best )) Maddy was frantic after leaving the sawmill. Her body was on auto pilot, taking her away from the latest scene of her adventure on this island. One that ended in someone dying. And it was her fault they died. Sure, she ...

((Reiko Ishida continued from Out of Sight, Out of Mind )) Reiko hadn't stopped moving since leaving the ranger station, but the adrenalin that had kept her going had ebbed and the pain was starting to make it difficult to continue. Her face stung, she couldn't get the metallic sensation of blood ou...

Everything happened so fast. Maddy didn't say anything throughout Trent's little rant, keeping her eyes on him and her hands on her weapon. Which of course, was the boy's apparent target. Mid-speech he lunged for her weapon, grabbing it and trying to yank it out of her hands. Maddy managed to resist...

Whatever she had hoped to accomplish by biting her attacker, it seemed to work. His attacks stopped, and he got off her, allowing her to escape, but not before her forcefully yanked her head away, causing some bits of flesh to go with it. The girl scrambled away from him, wincing as every movement c...

Reiko had just cleared the steps separating the entrance way and the main floor when she felt something slam into her back, sending her sprawling to the ground face first. The air in her lungs escaped with a whoosh, and the girl found herself gasping, trying to pull air back into them. She felt hers...

Reiko had missed. She could tell because of two reasons. The first was the lack of pained screams that usually followed shortly after being shot, or that of the ally if the other had been hit in the head or something. The second was enraged yell as one of them charged her. The girl looked out from h...

Voices outside. Two of them, at least. That didn't mean there was only two people. There may have been others who weren't talking for whatever reason. Still, they were heading towards her hiding place, which wasn't good to say the least. She thought she'd picked a place that no one else would want t...

((Reiko Ishida continued from Refraction )) 11 days, and counting. 11 days since Reiko had been on this island, kidnapped along with her class. 11 days since she had started to play this game, ensuring her fate to die on this island. 11 days, and she was still alive. She may not have been in the gre...

Finally the two of them were leaving. Or at least one of them was. Since they probably weren't going to suddenly stop her from leaving as well, Reiko figured it was time for her to move on as well. She had spent enough time there already. It was time for her to move on as well. Reiko collected her b...

The boy was getting angry, his voice raising with each sentence. Maddy just stood there, letting him say what he needed to say, waiting for him to finish. She was getting upset over his accusations, but she couldn't get a word in edgeways even if she tried. Finally he stopped, and Maddy knew this wa...
