Re: The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

"Not," Connor held his empty hands up in front of him, "so much." He let the words stretch out, his tone playful even though by the look of him and by the pit in his stomach he knew neither of them were in a remotely friendly way. This may have been a teammate and a boy that he w...

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows

It wasn't that he wanted to fall back into the same habit that had kept him alive over the past eleven days, but it was more that when he'd stumbled upon the makeshift shelter that he'd created with Erika, Juliette and Faith, it had seemed like fate was calling to him. For all of the mental self-fla...

After All the Hell We've Been Through, I'd Still Bet On You

You sad, yellow excuse for a human being. For years, you thought that you had everything figured out. There was nothing that wasn't within your grasp. You made the football team on your first try, no big deal. You worked your ass off, you said. Your last name had nothing to do with it , you said. Y...

Re: Meet Me in the City

It was always harder to turn your back on someone when they watched you do it. Connor knew; after all, he'd already jettisoned more than a few groups over the course of this ordeal. The easiest way to leave someone behind was what some people referred to as the 'Irish exit'. So he understood the gui...

Re: taking character requests

Might as well fire two at you, just for fun. My last remaining boy. Appearance: Standing at 5'10" and weighing 141 lbs, Morgan lacks the proverbial athletic bone anywhere in his body. Thanks to a growth spurt in the summer between his junior and senior year, Morgan has a lot of trouble being co...

Re: Meet Me in the City

The silence hung in the air for a moment as Connor stared a hole in Faith's forehead. The polearm hadn't moved, but her words had been as sharp and as pointed as the blade she held in front of her. She had talked about their class as though it were still a class; that wasn't the case anymore. It was...

Re: V7 Twenty-First Rolls

I need to request a 3 day extension - having to interview for my own job tomorrow and I've been prepping which has taken my focus off the site.

Re: taking character requests

He's probably about to die so I'd love to see your take on Appearance: Connor stands 6'5" and weighs 195 lbs. He is a Caucasian male who has a lean body type, that he is trying to add muscle to in order to properly adapt to what he expects will be the rigors of playing college football. He has ...

Re: V7 Twenty-First Rolls

Well, shit. While it's unlikely, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask for a hero for Connor. He's had a long and unlikely journey and the ending I originally had planned with him doesn't work at the moment, so I'd love more time to put it all together. In the meantime, let's see what's out there. Good on i...

Re: Meet Me in the City

Just like that, the claws came out. Not the claws per se, but the wicked-looking war scythe that had served as their one layer of protection against their demented former classmates was now pointed squarely at him. Eyes widening, he held his hands up in a defensive position, palms out. He didn't int...

Re: "Listen, there's a moment when everything—"

Oh, fuck sakes — Aurelien's inquiry was so innocent and given any other time or place, he'd have welcomed such a diversion. Tell me about your girlfriend, Morgan. What is she like, how does she make you feel? Why do you love her so? Except it was wrong, all of it. It wasn't like that anymore. It was...

Re: Meet Me in the City

This was why it had been simpler to walk alone. Immediately upon waking up and realizing what was going on, trying not to give his late teacher's very public demise a second thought, Connor Lorenzen had put surviving at the very top of the list. Initially, forming a team seemed to be a smart call, ...

Re: Rank (Your Own) Characters

It's time for the once-yearly 'whatchu think about your kids' list. How I've done it this time around: I tried to sort my characters in to one of five tiers - " Excellent ", " Good ", " Okay ", " Meh ", and " Bad ". From there, I sorted them on how I...

Re: Goon Squad! Interest Check (D&D 5e)

I've never played before but I've always been super curious so as long as that's not entirely prohibitive (aka no noobs you noob dirty noob man) I'm very like tentatively putting my hand up.
