Nicholas had already reached the door as they gave their final orders. Not like he was going to disobey them anyway - he wasn't armed for a two-on-one fight even if he wanted one. He quickly stepped from darkness into light, blinking as the artificial sun sent its rays of burning illumination straig...

Geez, were they really trying to pull the good cop / bad cop thing on him, or did they just have no idea at all what they were doing here? They couldn't see him anyway, so if he wanted to lie it would have been trivially easy. It didn't really matter though - it wasn't his place to critique their op...

Well, not the reply he was hoping for, but that's what he got for asking nonspecific questions. Now here he was, answering the question he wished he had asked. As annoying as it was, he was a little too tired to be playing games with people, and there really was no reason for him to not answer, anyw...

((Nicholas Cameron continued from Things Fall Apart )) Nicholas trudged up the stairs to the rooftop, trying his best to ignore the growing exhaustion creeping through his body, the lack of sleep from the previous night finally starting to catch up to him. Sleeping was hard enough on a normal night,...

Nicolas sat in silence as the announcement ended, Zeph's voice still echoing in his ears. As much as he liked to think of himself as having been desensitized to anything one could see in CR, this was on a completely different level than anything he had encountered. He felt almost as if he were about...

((Nicholas Cameron continued from I Don't Hate My Body, I'm Just Afraid of It )) Nicholas stopped in his tracks, trying to figure out what the heck he was looking at. The whole scene was a mess, and not just because of the chest high pile of crackers blocking the way forward. Those suspended bridges...

Nicholas gritted his teeth as his gaze traveled down to the floor. Once again, he had gotten trapped inside one of those stupid stand-offs where everybody involved agreed on what they wanted, but nobody wanted to actually be the one to say it. The worst part was that he couldn't complain about it ei...

Was he ok? Nicholas almost wanted to laugh - the answer was so obvious that he couldn't really think of a way to reply. In the general sense, anything he could say would be a useless description of what everybody around him was going through, and in the specific, he didn't feel comfortable talking a...

Nicholas' head whipped around as the sound of a familiar voice mercifully cut through the awkward silence, rescuing him from having to figure out a way to make this conversation somehow tolerable. It wasn't long before his forced smile gave way to a genuine grin of relief at having run into one of t...

Practically speaking, it seemed like a pretty pointless complaint. Even if their avatars had genitals, it was a struggle to imagine what they would even do with them. Sex obviously wasn't on the table - the only possible outcome of having more body parts here was pain, not pleasure. Besides, the tho...

Nicholas stood there for a moment, staring in shock at his partially dressed classmate. There wasn't much to look at - the guy didn't have the most attractive avatar, and even if he did, these avatars didn't have much to see down there, anyway. Still, it was difficult to not look, and it took a mome...

No matter how many times Nicholas had considered what it would be like to die, there was still something surreal about having the possibility thrown right into his lap. For his as long as he could remember, the possibility of dying always felt like something that was his choice, an escape hatch that...

Confirming Nicholas Cameron for SOTF: Cyber

Confusion rushed through Clara's mind as she found herself falling backward, the world rushing by in a blur as she went down. Questions began to swirl around in her head, stabbing at her like a swarm of angry bees. What happened with her gun? How was Seychelle still moving? Most importantly, why did...

That... that was a lot of blood. Clara stared at the girl on the ground beneath her, the awful noises coming from her counterpart's mouth filling her with nausea. She would have thought that what happened with Caleb would have at least made this a little easier, but, unfortunately, she had no such l...
