Joe haphazardly staggered out of the building. He was in unimaginable pain from the fact that he had three new holes in his body, two from 9mm bullets and one from Reiko's teeth. He was almost certainly going to bleed to death within an hour at most. This didn't bother him. Even if he had broken his...

Joe's arm was stopped in mid-punch by Reiko sinking her teeth into it. A pause. The adrenaline stopped and the pain started. A dull, throbbing pain in his stomach from the gunshot wounds at first, and then a sharp stabbing pain in his wrist from Reiko's teeth. He grabbed her hair with his other arm ...

(GMing approved by Rocky) Reiko had fired twice more. The bullets thumped into Joe's midsection, lodging themselves in his body. There was no pain; adrenaline did its job and dulled it. Joe felt blood pouring from the wounds and knew instantly that he was a dead man running. Reiko was out of ammo; J...

A shot rang out. A single gunshot, the bullet tearing through the air and narrowly missing Aston's head, the sound deafening in spite of the small caliber. Joe's mind went into overdrive, adrenaline pumping in his brain. Time seemed to slow down as he looked in the direction of the gunshot, and saw ...

((Joe Rios continued from Never To Be Found )) It was quiet. The only scenery- a building. Joe paced around, almost passing it. Eleven days. They'd had their ups and downs. He'd made a few allies- and promptly lost most of them, but that's how things go. He'd lost Rose. He'd assuredly alienated ever...

"Alright," Joe said. He got up, shouldered his bag, and walked off, following Aston.

I've finally got something to live for.

Something to kill for.

Something to die for.

((Joe Rios continued in Out of Sight, Out of Mind))

Joe chuckled a bit. "Of course I'm in, Aston," he said, smiling. "You can rest assured of that. We're in this together until the end, whenever that is." He sighed. The announcement had confirmed Alice was dead, her death removing any possibility of revenge at that, so it had been...

"Nah, you're fine," he said. It was kind of awkward doing this next to the still-warm corpse of a guy that he'd just been party to the murder of, but Joe was honestly lacking in other options. He sat down, set his daypack next to him, unzipped it, took out the first aid kit, and opened it....

The bullet from Aston's Bersa tore through Quincy's head at supersonic speeds, tearing flesh, bone, and brain and creating a small hole where half of his nose used to be. His corpse jerked upwards a bit and then settled down, the head tilting to the right and pouring a large pool of blood from the w...

Joe gritted his teeth and clutched at the small wound on his side. It wasn't even close to life-threatening, but having a blazing-hot chunk of metal rip through your skin is still plenty painful, and it was bleeding a fair bit. "Fuck," he grunted. Not only was the wound throbbing, but Quin...

Joe glanced over at the pistol he had tossed to the side, walked over, and picked it up. He calmly walked over to Aston, held the gun up, and offered it to her. "I believe this is yours," he muttered. "Finish him off." It was her kill, and Joe felt somewhat dirty for disabling hi...

((Whoever is playing Aston is gonna take the kill, Ben just had me come in because he wrote himself into a corner and needed a way for her to get the upper hand.)) The shot from Quincy's Mosin-Nagant rifle grazed Joe in the side, causing him to grunt in pain and clutch the wound with his left hand. ...

((Joe Rios continued from Vitriol .)) It didn't take a lot of thought for Joe to begin worrying about Aston. While Alice had left too, Alice didn't have a personal vendetta against someone the way Aston did. With that in mind, he almost immediately began looking for her. The gazebo wasn't far from t...

((God damn, Betsy. http://z6.ifrm.com/static/emo/14.png )) "Well, fuck," Joe muttered to himself after Alice closed the door behind her. He immediately regretted coming out about his real purpose to Alice, especially knowing what she thought of herself as. He was essentially signing her de...

Joe looked at Alice. "I suppose we just have to create purposes for ourselves, then," he said, grimly. Joe sighed and looked down. "Me, I've got a lotta shit to atone for. Even if I only got named for two deaths, I've got four people's blood on my hands in all... I wasn't able to help...
