The bells of school were a welcome comfort to Oscar Trig. First of all, it meant that it was the end of school, which meant it was time to relax. Second of all he could get out of the stuffy classroom and wouldn't have to listen to Mr.Shigen ramble on and on about The Tempest, which meant it was tim...

Oscar sighed. There were so many better ways to say what Andi intended that could have prevented, or at least diminished, the reaction from Cooper. Before he could say anything, Cooper was gone. While it was true that Oscar didn't overly like him, he didn't hate him. And besides, given their situati...

((Skipping to prevent inactivity, my apologies)) Oscar had, for a moment, forgotten the issue of whether his companions would accept the idea of travelling in an expanded pack. While it was good that Zoe shared in the idea of working together, even in a temporary sense, Cooper's reaction was conside...

To use it to get around? Oscar frowned at the idea, finding himself squarely placed in the unlikely position as to agree with Cooper. There was a place for hoping for something miraculous like a perfectly working car amongst the remains of other abandoned vehicles, but the logistics of traveling aro...

There was no time for Oscar to voice his complaint. As soon as he turned his head, Zoe had walked past him. Had she not heard the gunshots? Did she not care about what was out there? With a sigh he put away his binoculars and instead started rummaging for his pack of cigarettes. Thankfully, it didn'...

((Oscar Trig continued from Waking up at the Beginning of Time )) Oscar had been silent for the majority of the walk. His walking stick was the only thing that was making a sound as it tapped along the asphalt. He had walked many places in his time wandering through wilderness and urban sprawl. But ...

Oscar put weight into his new walking stick, frowning at Zoe's question. In general, Oscar didn't like these sorts of questions. Whenever he was asked his for advice or an opinion, he found himself unable to commit to any particular stance. There was a lot that could go wrong with telling someone to...

Oscar the leader. Now that was a laugh. If there was one thing that people might know about Oscar, was that he never lead anything. He was someone who sat back and smoked, letting everyone else do the talking. And yet here they were, with Zoe and Cooper placing him as their de facto guide. But what ...

Oscar smirked at Cooper's attempt to cheer him up. "Nothing special?" he said taking another drag from his cigarette, "You clearly haven't been out to Bainbridge. You want views like that, you'd best go there." It was hard to take the man standing below him seriously, bright as a...

For a moment, there was no movement, nor sound from either of them. The only sound was the low drum of wave crashing upon wave. With the smell of cigarette smoke seeping into his nose. Perhaps Oscar had been too presumptuous in offering his help. He had hiked numerous times up and down treacherous p...

Every carton had the same message; or at the very least, one that would say that smoking, in every aspect of the word, was bad for you. Occasionally they'd show a blackened piece of meat, theoretically a lung or a heart, or if they were feeling really bold- a human brain. Other times they would show...

(( B054 - Oscar Trig start)) Ocean. Endless Ocean. From as far the eye could see there was only a massive expanse of blue stretching out for several miles. Any sign of the mainland, was beyond sight; assisted or otherwise. The tide had pulled back the ocean expanse only a few meters, revealing nothi...

Tabi had made it to the foot of the bed. She was unsure as to how it had happened. But she had made it all the same. It had been a struggle to break through the pain to hold her weapon, it was only for a few moments but that was all that she needed. There had been an opening, and she had fired. Was ...

When the first shots rang out, Tabi pressed her back to the wall. If there was anyway to make her tougher to hit she would do it. But as it stood now. They were pinned. The first round of shots drew her out in an attempt to fire again. But Aaron had been faster and let out another round of shots. Ta...

Tabi recoiled when the gunshot went off. She was already moving back up the stairs when Ivan was scrambling up to avoid being shot at. She rushed back into the bedroom and quickly dove to her bag. There was ammunition inside and if they ran out of ammo now they were as good as dead. She heard the lo...
