"It's fine, sir." Shogo nodded and replied, "It's fine. I'll keep watch."

Haruka and Noriko then quietly closed the door and went off to their assigned places. They were leaving…in the direction they came from.
5 students remaining

Shogo remained in the center of the hall. He began looking over the map.

Mitsuru Numai sat in front of the computer in his office. He had his laptop, which he kept in his day pack. There was a large screen and display panel. There was a metal table nearby, so he was sitting on the other side of the table. There was a monitor next to it. Mitsuru's laptop was located behind the monitor, right in front of the keyboard. This room was assigned to the middle school Program (Male Student No. 1). There was room in the left side of the room for the study equipment. The one in front was a desk, which was easy to access since the wall was covered with panels. There was a metal desk and chair next to it. On the desk was a small table, and on the right were two chairs facing each other. A small light bulb next to the laptop. There was a chair across from him. There was a window at the far end of the room.

"Hmm…" Noriko said quietly, turning around to look at Shuya and Shogo.

Shogo glanced over to them. "Noriko and Shuya want to come up with their different ideas. Shuya wants to stop the game—but he can't. Shogo thinks they both have something to say." He looked over at Shuya. Shogo smiled a little and said, "It's about time you two heard this one."

Shuya looked blankly at Shogo. He saw the look of utter astonishment on Shogo's face. He broke into a slight grin. He looked over at Shogo and then back at Noriko, who remained sitting still in the chair. He did his best to maintain his posture and looked up at them. His lips were slightly parted, as if he were saying, "This is unbelievable…" "What an amazing duo we have here…" He was still cheering a little. But there was a frown on his face too.

Shogo and Noriko had shared similar feelings, but they didn't have the same ideas. Noriko's were "friends"—girls she liked. Shogo was totally attracted to the boyish-looking Shinji Mimura, the star athlete he'd worked with ever since he was a kid. Then as they grew up, he and Shuya had seen this side of Shogo. They had similar tastes, but they had different ideas about the world. Shogo and Noriko had shared the same ideas—they wanted to change the world. But Shogo himself wasn't sure how he could do that.

"What about us? Do we have a different idea? How can we use our brains to help others?"

In other words, was he still trying to come up with a plan? Now that was an important question. Shogo looked at them. He looked over at Nor
======================================== SAMPLE 2 ========================================

The girl disappeared into the darkness of the southeast mountain. Hiroki slowly emerged from the bushes. He'd just exited a house along the road when a powerful force suddenly thrust itself into his body. The pain of the blow was overwhelming, but he could only drag his body as distance as he could. Hiroki froze. The girl's face, her arms breathing out a strange, malevolent air, was now gone. And this girl was…in the woods where he'd last seen her, a shadow turned to face him.

And so Hiroki had to run.

The enemy lurking in the dark was a scary thought. But the thought completely demolished his mental faculties. Instead of running, he recalled the girl, Yuko, from back three years ago. Hiroki became nauseous thinking of the image. (Then again he recalled how Mitsuko, their best friend, had a crush on him. She was lying on the ground.) He wanted to tear off these thoughts from his mind. He'd have to escape…but that would only mean moving to the other side of the mountain.

Hiroki limped to his feet and ducked into the farm. He pulled out the day pack from his pocket and went to load the day pack onto the truck.

He took out the Smith & Wesson.357 Magnum from his pocket and pulled out the day pack. Then he tucked it into his coat and put the gun on the belt of his jeans. He aimed at the girl in the black minivan and made the move.

Noriko Kiriyama held the center console of the minivan. Her face, as usual, was dim with fatigue.

The truck was approaching them. Hiroki took the wheel. The entire front end of the truck came to a halt. Hiroki turned off his tire and moved along the shoulder of the road.

They came to a stop.

Noriko emerged from the minivan without making a sound. She grabbed the hand of Hiroki on his shoulder and pulled him up. Hiroki noticed a man in a farm coat was inside the minivan. Shogo Kawada (Male Student No. 2) and Yukie Utsumi (Female Student No. 2) were also in the minivan.

Noriko stood up and looked around. She saw the woods and the chimney behind them. The town was surrounded by hills. She couldn't see anything beyond that distance.

Hiroki checked his map and saw that there were two houses. Hiroki began to turn the wheel.

Hiroki drove down the well road towards the town. He stopped at a house that was in front of the school. As he looked behind him, he saw Tahara Utsumi, Yukie Utsumi, and Mayumi Tendo (Female Student No. 2). Along with the rest of the class, she had vanished. Of course they were all classmates in the Class B summer school, so their coach had been informed of their deaths.

Hiroki knew he was in the wrong place, but he had no choice not to alter his course of action. He couldn't just ignore this
======================================== SAMPLE 3 ========================================

For the first time, Sakamochi looked down. He mouthed the word "surveyor" and drew back a little.

They were quiet for a while. The gunfire sounded closer to the school on the other side of the treetops. The sound was becoming familiar, though, and the smell of smoke and blood drifted by.

"Hey, can you hear that?"

Sakamochi did not respond. The students who were already sleeping quietly pressed their hands against their belts and replied, "It's only smoke." Sakamochi pulled the short comb out of his pocket and said, "Now listen up, boys and girls." He held the comb up to his chin, clutching his left hand over the tip of his nose. "There's a dead body right here. You listen to that loud and clear, boys and girls."

Shuya heard the gunfight from a distance. His classmates turned their heads and looked down at the ground. The body of Kazuo Kiriyama was lying face up. His head, shoulder, and chest had split open. Smoke from the muzzle of the gun was seeping out of the hole in his neck, exploding into a faint flame. There was a pink, tangerine odor. The corpse of Hirono Shimizu and Yukiko Kitano (respectively called "Kiriyama," "Kiriyama," and "Kitano") were also lying in the
same position.

"Is that smoke coming from the machine gun?" Sakamochi asked him.

The boys replied, "Well, it can't be helped. We're not dead right now." Then they began to sob. The last one to utter

"Oh God, oh God…" the boy named Kotohiki sobbed, then, "Hurry up, Shuya," he added.

The three of them seemed to be in a deep, stupefying slumber. But they were still in the grip of the fear and horror that had gripped them since the very beginning. The sound of gunfire had no sound whatsoever. It was like a swarm of black beetles tearing apart the steel roof of the school. The boy who had killed Hiroki Sugimura, that terrifying little unemployed nurse who had gone by the name of Sakamochi, was lying right in front of the megaphone. In fact, Sakamochi had already told him so. Shinji Mimura and Takako Chigusa were both lying on the ground, covered with bullets.

But Shinji Mimura wasn't lying. He'd lifted his body slightly to look at the distant sky which was now practically the size of a factory rack. Shinji Mimura was probably the most important person in the school. He was the one who thought it over, who realized that everything was connected. And yet, after that, he and Yukiko Kitano were only
======================================== SAMPLE 4 ========================================

"Shoot that!" Shogo said.

"Why?" Shinji shot back. "I'm not some killer."

"Of course not. But you think I'm some killer."

That was when Shogo caught a glimpse of blood coming out of the gun. Shinji was stunned.

"I'm not some killer," Shinji declared. He shook his head. He apologized and looked at the assailant in the corner of his eye.

"I'm not," he said again. His hands holding the guns nervously, he looked down at the ground where he'd been standing. Shinji held his breath, anticipating an attack. He held the gun with his right hand, aimed it down, and fired. The bullet hit the assailant's back. Shinji felt a dull pain in the right side of his head, and his face became pale white. Then the gun was cocked.

Shinji clutched his right wrist. He felt dizzy. He turned around and saw that the assailant was no longer in the area where he'd been standing. Instead he was lying on the muzzle of the car with his back facing him. It was hard to tell whether he had rolled over or not, but the way his body was hunched over showed his position was completely upright.

Shinji stood still. His stomach sank. He was so weak he could hardly hold the gun. He only had his left hand. He put his finger on his stomach, but what he felt was too faint to register. Shinji shuddered, then sank down. He fell onto his side with a groan and picked up his gun and walked over to the assailant. As he moved he glanced at the gun in the assailant's hand again. His eyes were red. But he was so worn out by the pain he was in that he only looked at the gun, moving as if shaken. Shinji gripped the Beretta and felt something slide off his trigger guard.

"You understand not to shoot me?"

Shinji lifted his voice, his hands holding the gun. He spoke to the assailant in a tone of voice that made the assailant's face stiffen.

The assailant remained still. He let out a deep groan and looked at Shinji again. His eyes seemed to be dry. He looked up at the sky.

"Then let me explain how you came to be here."

Shinji put the gun down and put his hands on his chest. He looked at the ground and then looked up. "That's right. I told you. I had to. But instead you refused. You were in the wrong. That's what I said. And now I have to punish you."

The assailant remained frozen. Shinji raised his voice. He shook his head, as if saying, no. He looked away from Shinji.

"I…" he said. "I thought you were going to kill me." He continued to look down and then back up again. Then his face contorted as if he were
======================================== SAMPLE 5 ========================================

Then an image appeared and Shuya held his breath. The two silhouettes in front of his eyes were his classmates.

Yukie!

Yumiko Kusaka! Oh my God. Oh, God.

Yuka Nakagawa!

Kazushi Nüda!

Shuya felt a horrible emotion. The image of Yuka…Yumiko, Yukie, and Kazushi…all of them…were in his mind right then.

The cold, unfeeling force of the world which—as if it were asking him for some kind of signal—didn't care whether he was alive or dead. He felt an overwhelming sense of doom. He was powerless to change it. The only thing he could do was try his best to survive.

He thought, oh man, it's going to be so bad. Even if he lived I wouldn't be able to eat, so I'll just sit here and cry. No. Stop it. There's nothing I can do for these kids. Whatever their parents are doing. So please, stop it. I'm not that easy to kill…

"It's all right," he said. "We're all going to be together."

He tightened his fist around the trigger of his Smith & Wesson muzzle and pulled the hammer back. He felt the grip loosen. Without saying a word, he removed the safety from the Smith & Wesson and pulled the cylinder off the gun. "This can't be done."

"It's a Colt Government Model. It's made for the U.S. Republic of Greater East Asia. It's not supposed to be fired from a machine gun, so it's got a lot of lag. But I'm sure it'll do. I have a spare for that gun."

"And I have a shotgun."

As he put the Colt back in the sheathpoker, Shuya held her hands. Yuka Nakagawa's hands, whose fingers were tied with a white cord. Once they were in his grip, Shuya felt like he wasn't completely alone.

So there was no one in this horrific situation. Maybe not everyone was dead. But there was someone who was. Someone…



That someone must be Shogo Kawada. Yumiko Kusaka and Yukie Utsumi were definitely killed that night. But what really caught Shuya off guard was that she and Yumiko were supposed to have
======================================== SAMPLE 6 ========================================

The moose stood up and looked down at the ice. "What are you doing?"

The ice stopped right in front of Noriko's eyes.

It was a frigid pool of transparent ice approximately meter deep, as deep as a pond in the mountains. There was a dark buckle protruding from the edge of the pool. The tail of the buckle was shorter than what was required for a mane of length.

The moose appeared in the dark, and as if frozen, it suddenly aroused. It uttered a cry like a surf chick: "There you go wasting our lunchtime snack! You'll regret it!"

Shuya stared. There was a piece of ice on the edge of the buckle. "It's—"

The moose let out that shriek that scared off any remaining thoughts in Shuya's mind. It was right in front of Noriko's eyes. It did everything it could to freeze her heart, all at once.

How could that be?

Shuya felt his chest tighten with fear. What if this were some kind of joke? What if the moose wasn't resembling the real moose, but instead—could it be—was it a computer simulation? Were we being watched all this time? Did this have any connection to the real moose's cry? Did I just make up a joke?

What if—you see, what if…the moose isn't a threat at all? What if—

"Shuya stopped," Yukie said. "It all looked so rational. I just had to come up with an escape plan."

Shuya was absolutely baffled. "Ridiculous," he spat out.

"Oh, but it is," Yukie said. "It's stupid to think this far ahead. Sure, we might end up getting trapped. But…" She held out a hand to Shuya and offered her arm. Shuya picked it up.

Noriko appeared to have closed her eyes, but then she opened her mouth wide as she opened her eyes.

Shuya realized she was crying. Her eyes were already bulging with tears while she looked up at him and smiled.

"I love you," she said. "And you too," and added, "I want to go out with you."

Shuya looked down at Noriko's hand. Her tear-drenched cheeks had started twitching again. He realized Noriko had tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.

And now these tears couldn't be helped.

But then as soon as he saw how Yukie had sobbed, he understood Yuko had no intention of going out with the guy she loved and ended up thinking, well, I guess that's it. The thought of going out with her turned into a blank stare.

Shuya and Noriko remained silent as the moose continued to look around for a sign of intruding humans.

It stopped. For some reason.

"Hurry up," Yukie said again. "We have to get out of here."

Shuya and Noriko slowly ran
======================================== SAMPLE 7 ========================================

"Huh?"

"Yes," Shogo nodded. "I will protect her."

"…that's ridiculous." Shogo's voice was hoarse from the cold.

"No," Noriko interrupted him. "It is. It's no use trying to think about it. It's just that simple. Shuya's going to protect Noriko and Kotohiki, and I'll protect you."

Shogo grimaced and shook his head. "We're—" He stopped and said, "I got this," and picked up his worn out bow which he had tossed aside. He looked at Shuya and Noriko again. "If you insist on going, I'll be your lookout."

Shuya responded with a smile and answered, "I trust you."

"Beats me." Shogo returned his bow to Shuya and looked at Noriko. "Look after your friends."

Shuya smiled and nodded, then left the room.

Shogo's body was numb from the cold, but he looked up at Noriko. He was absolutely certain he was going to die if Shuya and Noriko were together.

Noriko must have realized something as she glanced at Shogo, now half covered in sweat. Shuya gave a small nod. Then he offered his hand to Noriko. Noriko took it and smiled back at him, her eyes clear, as if she were doing her best to shield him.

"Shogo." Noriko looked up at him. She looked incredibly relieved.

"What is it?"

Shogo looked up at Shuya again. Then he looked back at Noriko, who had that same grin.

"Beats me." He continued, "I'm so busy. I just want to look after your friends."

Noriko smiled a little, touched her lips, and nodded. Then she looked back at Shogo again. "I'm sorry."

Shogo seemed to have another thought and lifted his brow. "What?"

Shuya's mouth opened wide. "Why won't you just—"

Shogo replied with a smile, "There are plenty of ways to kill me, you idiot." He looked at Shuya. "Why don't you take a walk?"

Noriko took a deep breath and looked up at Shogo. Then she said, "I've thought that… you'd want to kill me for a reason, right? That we're enemies."

Shogo looked at Noriko and nodded. Then he looked at Shuya. "I'm not the only one who suspects you." He looked up at Shuya again and then looked back at Noriko.

"So you'll come with me?"

Shuya looked at Shogo and nodded.

"Come on." Noriko was looking at Shogo. "If you insist, I'll be your watchdog."

Shogo nodded and said, "I will." He looked back at Shuya and said, "Well then." He touched Shuya's cheek. "I'll protect you. You can

======================================== SAMPLE 8 ========================================

Heya! That can't be…

No, probably it couldn't be, since Sakamochi himself said the game was a sham. And if it was a sham, then as long as you paid your respects to the Program then you must be innocent.

Yutaka was hoping Shuya Nanahara might be less sympathetic towards him.

Shuya Nanahara's eyes gazed at Yutaka, but he quickly asked, "What are you looking at?"

Yutaka looked down and then looked up, no doubt concerned.

"Where did you get that strange red stuff?" He took out a large box. "This is supposed to be used to treat skin infractions. It also contains some cleaning liquid. It's for special cleaning products."

Shuya didn't understand. He looked over at Yutaka and asked, "What kind of products?"

Yutaka simply raised his hand.

"Oh no," Shuya answered. "It's some brand-new stuff. The label was put on it by one of the subcontractors. That's the name of the company—Sakamochi's company—name of the subcontractor. That's where I was when I found that old-boy lookalike here. He looks legit. But of course that's only the first step. Of course, there have been many others like him. Like the one who managed to appear on TV recently. His face looked like a school kid's but his eyes were really full of frenzy. His mouth was a little gory but no one can resist that look. The one who wasn't so scary looked like Shinji Mimura. And then, of course, there's that one guy—that's right, that Yoshio Akamatsu—with the identical face, but with that creepy smile. I think he's in charge of keeping order at the school. It's impossible to pin down, but it seems like they have a definite number on him. No, it's probably between twenty and twenty-one. Which means…approximately one hundred and eighty-five students have died because of this game. That's right. That's why I don't want to be part of this game. Of course, my chances are drastically reduced if I'm the last one standing. I don't want to get mixed up with anyone else's classmates. If I'm the only survivor then I'm finished. That's what I decided a long time ago." Yutaka turned his attention back to Shuya. Then he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shuya gazed at Yutaka. Then he looked at the bucket in his hand, which was filled with water. He held it, clearly trembling.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yutaka looked down and faced Shuya. Then he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Sickness."

Yutaka continued, "This is supposed to be used to treat people with inflammation, but it's been spreading all over the island. My uncle came here a long time ago. He
======================================== SAMPLE 9 ========================================

Shuya's mind was reeling from the memory of Shogo. He was smiling at a duck in a pond.

They were in the middle of a field and the girls ran. Shogo held a tin cup. It was his favourite kind of tin. It was chocolate brown. Shuya recalled looking at it and asking Shogo, "What's this?"

"This is what they call Special Defense Forces Special Forums."

"Special Defense Forces Special Forums?"

Shuya and Noriko looked at each other. Shogo continued looking at them. Then he said, "Shogo's got a crush on you, Shuya."

"What?" Shuya was astonished. "What? What is he talking about? That's outrageous. How can you say that?"

Shogo looked at them again. He looked down and said, "It's just a simple crush. No, it's sincere. The thought of Shuya having a real guy like him, who loves him, makes me want to cry. But I can't tell anyone about this."

Shuya shook his head. "Please explain."

"I'll tell you later," Shogo said and then closed the lid of the cup on the sink and poured some water over the tea. Shuya felt like he was suffocating. He thought it over and over, but couldn't come up with an explanation. Shuya finally blurted out, "That's ridiculous."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Why do you think so many people in the Third World like us? Even in America, they're buying us coffee and cigarettes." Shuya's glaring looked at Shogo returned. "When was the last time someone in the Third World said to you, 'Welcome to America,' speaking English?" Shuya remembered one of his group's slogans, "This is Great America," and their song, "I'm Going to Be a Great American," which he had listened to several times now.

Shogo said, "You're getting ahead of yourself." He glanced back at them. "There are people all over the world that want to implement our country's model of freedom and equality. I'm one of them. It's not a matter of being American or of being a citizen, it's a matter of being in the Third World. And what happens to those people, who refuse to submit? They get tricked into thinking that they're better than us. They resort to thugs. It's pathetic."

Shuya and Noriko listened.

"You're right. Sometimes being friends with someone like that doesn't exactly make you popular. But it's all right to be friends with the people who think we're expendable. And we've been accomplished that way."

Shogo closed the lid of the cup and put his coffee down. He kept his eyes closed. Then he said, "Well…" he paused and looked over his shoulder at Shuya. "What do you think?"

"That's a horrible way to think about the world."

Shogo then said, "You're absolutely right
======================================== SAMPLE 10 ========================================

"I knew there was an escape plan," Kyoichi said and raised his brow. He wondered, "But that plan didn't work out."

"No…" Shuya said, but his gaze fell on Noriko and the two of them stood like that. Noriko was slightly taller and had a much more confident look in her eyes, resembling an opera singer.

"Forget the plan," Shogo said. "The only thing you have to fear is victory. You can laugh at yourself, but there's a reason why we've been friends ever since we fought that jerk Shogo Souma."

Noriko smiled. "That's right," she said. She had on a casual look in her eyes.

"Shogo," Shogo said, "I'm so proud of you. We're so close."

Shogo looked down. He probably hadn't seen Noriko smile since they fought.

"I'm proud of you," Noriko said. She smiled, as if she could care less what others would think. "But I can't help feeling a little uneasy."

Shogo smiled back and said, "I don't want to sound patronizing, but the assailant ended up with a high profile thanks to this game, so I can't sharpen my blade on him."

Shogo then touched his neck and combed back his hair. "If you worry too much, you'll end up looking like an idiot. Don't let your guard down."

"How about it?" Shuya said.

Shogo looked up at the ceiling, ignoring Shuya's protest and expressed his thanks. "I'm sure there's some good in him. Of course there is." Shogo pulled out a file from his pocket and opened it. It was the same one he'd been using to check Noriko. "It's good to have friends in this country. No one's perfect, though."

Shuya looked at Shogo and then at Noriko.

"This too," Shogo said. "We're going to be good friends. We're going to be a team."

Shuya looked down again. He hadn't really discussed this with Shogo, but it was something he had thought about. He could understand why Shogo had decided to form a team. After all, if there was one thing that separated them, it was their individual talents. It was Shuya's adolescent brilliance—his ability to discern the truth from the lies and put them in perspective. He had seen this brilliance through Shogo, and now with the two of them together it was something he could see clearly. "I'm not sure if it's realistic, but it seems like the first time you're going out you'll get hit with a lot of jokes, but once you're together it's going to be all right. Let's be lonely then, and when they come out in groups…" He looked over at Noriko and said, "Then you have to be on your toes. You have to be on

Monsters, monsters, fuck, and more monsters! He didn’t want to go back to that basement any longer.

Austin came back, only to find that Crispin had already killed Isabella and Jenelle had already killed Austin, or at least that was what he’d thought.

“I’m fine.” He smiled, trying to cover it up. He felt so pathetic.

“No one else really, least of all me?” He sighed, trying to move past the others as they headed for the exit. “Maybe we can find another time to loot this place, and then we can get you out of here.”

NOAH DAVIS: CONTINUED FROM "Induction"


...



Noah wandered aimlessly across the empty expanse in the direction of the guardhouse. The breeze was cool, the endless desert night still unsettled him. It was only when he came to a standstill in the distance, a sign of civilization for a moment in the distance that he actually put to rights. His ragged breathing seemed to quiet as he stared at it, an afterimage that haunted him even in the absence of any strong light. The horizon beyond the guardhouse's boundaries was hazy in the absence of any other sign of civilization, and the horizon in front of him seemed to stretch infinitely.

All he could hear were the ragged sounds of their footsteps, a low, soft thud that seemed to come from elsewhere. It was only when he turned his head towards it that he could make out the shape of the animal that lay within. It was unmistakably human, but the human within it was unmistakably a beast.

It was only when he turned his head to Isabella for a second time that he truly understood why.

"Hey, Isabella."

He wasn't used to the volume of his voice in the presence of an English voice, but at least this one was just a human being. The thing that was moving.

"Hi."

He was looking at Isabella as the familiar glowing pupils and unblinking eyes that gave her the vague appearance of a human face began to conceal the swaddling girl. The shape of the human within the animal, as if it was coming to, if not before, towards him, hovered in the air around him like a cloud, struggling to shelter within its swam

======================================== SAMPLE 2 ========================================
Cecilia nodded vigorously and thought for a moment. "Si. We wait for the results of your blood test. If no, then we won't touch. After that, we move on. After all of that, of course."

She gave up a moment's thought.

"What about after?"

They looked at each other, and shook their head slightly.

"No. We wait for the results of the test. For now, our attention. You wait, and you go, right? No messing around. As long as the time allows."

It sounded reasonable.

He fidgeted his feet one more time.

"So, back to the question, what happens now?"

It was simple. If Cecilia were to act on her whims, which were clear as day, the time would come for him to tell her he had a choice. What do you want, then? He'd known this to be true from the start, he knew he'd have to be, or she'd have known this from the start, or both. He'd have to play by the rules set out in the announcement, he knew, had an opportunity to do just that, and he'd be expected to do it.

The fact that he wasn't even thinking that route was a red flag.

He looked over at Pacificador. "Hey, cual ese...!"

Again, there was nothing there. No surprises. No surprises in between him and Emily. No more excuses, nothing he could do anymore.

"Okay. There's nothing left for me to do anymore. I'm done. No more excuses, no more fucking apologizing. It's all I can do."

There wasn't much room in the room for him anymore, and he looked around on the other two girls. Some kind of limbo, maybe two, three girls standing around awkwardly talking. Or maybe one of them is actually Ana, and this was her school, and she was just sitting there like she was nothing, like she was unaware that this whole ordeal had gone down.

And it was pathetic. They'd had an entire chapter written about how awful this entire situation was, and the only reason he was even allowed to have an actual fucking voice in their head was because that was the only reason he could even imagine their voices could be heard.

He's sorry that this all went so quickly, so, so horribly, and he wants, he wants, he wants to be able to control it, but he can't. The only reason he's even walking is because he could. Control the anger, he wants to be able to control the terror, he wants to be able to put some sort of goddamned dam in it and stop this, but he can't.

He's just... he's just so goddamn sorry for, for being

Emily awoke a few moments later to a room full of flames, the room of which was now completely engulfed by flames. A massive cloud of black smoke, no doubt emanating from the massive explosion that occurred, could be seen billowing out in the room.

"Killing people... is... it really worth it?"

A soft, smoky voice emanating from within the black cloud spoke in sharp tones, a tone of authority as it enveloped the room and its occupant. It spoke directly to Astrid, asking the question that had yet to be answered, one that would hopefully remain unanswered for now.

Emily hesitated for a moment, weighing her decision one last time; if she went into the room now, what would she do? What would she find? The moment that she stepped into the room, she was certain to see for herself just how much of the corridor walls were engulfed in flames, and just how badly the black cloud would hurt the people within it. She would deal with it, she told herself.

A soft snap, then a more noticeable pop, and an immediate reminder of the moment she had stepped into the room.

David whipped around to the source of the screeching, the source of the thumping, and he was met with the sight of a black sedan, just a few feet from the charred vehicle.

David yanked his flashlight from the driver's seat, focused on the person in the passenger's seat, and the light began to gradually meet the building's outer walls as it climbed higher and higher, an ever-so-slight glow growing in the darkened spaces.

His eyes stayed transfixed on Emily, and he could hear the swishing of her arm in the darkness, the clicking of her leather against his flashlight's blades.

His expression fell from Emily's face.

His hand clenched into a fist.

"Fuck! I'll make sure you know I fuckin' did it!"

"I DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING." Astrid screamed from her room's twisted metal staircase. She made a disturbing, echoing hollow noise as the car barreled off, slamming into a wall behind her and scattering glass and chairs on the floor.

Her spell was broken by a sudden, sharp screech, like someone had kicked her or punched her in the chest.

Her spell was broken again by another whirl of metal, slamming into the ground and scraping along the sides of the building.

"GET BACK HERE!" She screamed out from above the rubble, pushing back the way that Emily had gone, slamming her fist into the side of the metal barrier. The clattering of the rebar

Lily had watched enough anime to have some ideas how to use her Gift in a fight. After all, she was the one who threw the first punch, and was the first to run out. She was smart enough to not use her Gift to hurt anyone in her way, which meant that she would have far more room for her while she was out in the wilderness.

However, as she looked around, she took a second to stop herself from charging ahead and to instead keep walking forward. The second was a mistake; a lapse of concentration that could have been avoided, but one she made aware of. The last thing Lily wanted to happen was for her to get hurt while she was barely keeping herself together.

Her body tensed as she continued to walk, but she pressed on regardless, her mind clouded by a haze of haze. Her heart pounded in her chest as she thought of her parents, who had lost their way and are still searching for answers. She thought about the people she had lost in the accident, who she was unable to find, and who she couldn't even imagine losing. And yet, somewhere deep in the back of her mind, she thought of how much she could have lost, and how much she would be making it easier to find them.

Maybe it was because she had just enough time to think of these things when she ran into another boy in the distance. She hadn’t paid attention to anything else that had happened, and his little excursion into her world was what caught her attention.

A familiar voice rang in her head, telling her that she was going to make sure to remember this. To make sure that she was going back out there. To make sure she wouldn’t make another mistake.

Then, she heard the sound of Mercy’s voice. Staring, eyes wide and body pinned tight, she spun around to face the new arrival, eyes wide with shock. There wasn’t even any kind of greeting forthcoming.

“Uh…Mercy?”

Suddenly, Lily’s grip loosened slightly, allowing her to let go of the other girl. Whether she’d been holding it back, or it was the first time she was facing another person she felt this close to her, and they’d decided to take a walk in that direction.

Her heartrate remained high, but she tried her best to tell herself that she was fine. That she wasn’t going to make things too bad, that she could keep it together, that she’d be alright. She wasn’t prepared to handle this alone.

So, she walked with her new friend, once more, a treasured memory.

And with that, she disappeared behind a wall of smoke.

((Mattie didn't initially start his blood boiling.))

He looked out a window of the guardhouse. That was all he could see, aside from the hallway, which was mostly dark grey now.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing))

He was sweating and he felt like he needed to quit, but he kept going. It was like he was trying to pick up and run a marathon while surrounded by his belongings.

He took his own life-preserving beanie off of his head and he stood up.

His beanie lay on the ground by itself as he slept.

The window he'd looked out the other day once occupied by Mattie's sleeping bag. Now it was a crime scene.

They'd cut his finger, he said. Hadn't asked for it. They'd melted part of his palm, and he lay on the ground still.

Why had they done this?

Why had they done this?

Why had they done this?

He knelt, put his hands on his hips and put them in the air.

He'd told them why.

They'd never listen. Not again. Not ever.

He'd told them why.

They'd never listen. Not again. Not ever.

Jenelle’s scream pierced the eardrums of the swarm.

“Shit…”

The voice that pierced the darkness rushed to her, the distressed screams spilling out of her throat.

“Shit fuck…”

Crispin rolled to a stop near the prone form of a figure on the floor. Feet off the ground, he quickly covered his head with his hands, taking a few steps forward, before looking back to the swarm.

“Jesus fuck…”


He stopped.

Kaine Griffin’s blood puffed up as he tried to keep Lincoln’s attention on him. But with how his orb was distracting him, he was losing track of the person who was currently talking to him.

The voice came out as well as the words, or the lack thereof. When he looked up, Crispin’s face was fully exposed.

“I don’t think he’s okay.”

Kaine knew that Lincoln was there. He was, for a moment, almost tempted to leave, but he knew then that Lincoln was still dangerous.

“You shouldn’t be talking to him.”

He turned around to face Lincoln.

“I know you don’t know what you’re talking about, but just tell me what you’re thinking and I’ll tell you what you’re thinking.”

Stephen pointed the flashlight right at something out of the corner of his vision. Just out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't see any better right now.

'I doubt she'd say anything terrible.'

He was about to turn back, and Claudia's questions about her gift caught him up. He'd been keeping a lower profile since his escape, and hiding out in this place and hiding out in these buildings and hiding in some sort of hiding place. It was probably a good idea to keep this under wraps for now, protect more people at least.

Stephen decided against it though, right at that moment when he noticed the girl with the light shining through her hat and when he considered how easy it would be to put his Gift on and quickly walk up and talk to that girl and she would walk away without any complaints. He could handle whatever it was.

"Hey, uh, I think she might be here, yeah." His voice sounded more like a human being than he did back at the swarm. "She's been calling, asking for help and I... I don't know what I can do."

He swallowed.

"I'm useless." Stephen put his hands up. "And I know it's scary. Everyone does, I'm just an afterimage. I don't know what I look like, or how I sound or how I talk and everything sounds made by someone I don't know. I'm just a character that people have made about, not real people, not in the way people look or sound or feel or try to do."

"If she wants to come with, she can. If not, she's fine with leaving. If I just help people she wants to, and hope they don't hurt me or think I'm weird and then we can talk about school, or or family, or death, or whatever else is on the table, then we can all be happy.

Astrid was calling out to her, as she usually did when she heard other people talking about her and hoping she didn't mind. She knew she shouldn't let people call her weird, but people were calling her names, and she heard them now, and she almost gagged, almost shouted.

Claudia was still hoping that Astrid and Astrid were being helpful, being that helpful they were. But, then again, she was still hoping that nobody would hurt her. That it would all be fine and dandy, and then they would be out of e- anyway. She was being paranoid and was afraid of hurting Astrid or Ana or Mattie. She had a lot of things she needed to be afraid of, but the least she could do was stay out of their way.

When Astrid asked if she wanted to come with, and

“I don’t think…”

Ximena swallowed, let her shoulders and head fall into the sun.

“...”

She didn’t think anymore.

“I dunno…”

He didn’t think there was a chance in hell he was getting out of here. “Naw… I ain’t even…”

Alan said it, didn’t he know? He knew it, he knew it, he knew it. He knew what he did. He knew that, at some point, Ximena would have to do the same or some other sort of for her to not have to be a fucking monster. Or, at the very least, a monster that Alan couldn’t stop. But, he wasn’t going to push her away. He’d make sure she kept all three stars in her path.

“C'mon man… let’s just go.”

“Yeah…”

Alan didn’t initially see the light of Ximena’s presence, but his presence faded, once again, as did her presence.

His gaze shifted back to the trio, once again, to Claudia, Melodie, and Ximena. He lowered his gaze, however, and his expression remained the same; expressionless, like he was still looking for something.

“If we stay like this, we’ll just end up like everyone else. We could have, like, the ‘great escape possible’.” He spoke, one-on-one, matter-of-factly, as though Ximena had come straight to him.

“We can

Lincoln heard Crispin’s snatching and saw his reaction, twisting around to look behind him and see who it was. He watched his back, swishing around his sphere of a light show, the kind of manic grin you’d expect for someone who’d just gone through a panic.

“Who the fuck are you? That sphere of sand is full of shards and shit, and Lincoln’s in it!” He rolled his sphere back into the ground, carefully making sure it didn’t crush any delicate bits.

“Fuck me, that’s not important right now, focus on the guy in front, we’re gonna talk about his Gift later.”

Glancing over at Crispin, he could see the rebar he’d thrown towards the floor, still glowed a bit. His finger moved to the safety catch it, then dropped.

“Crispy… uh… shit.” Lincoln was already out of the swing , at least for now. He knew he wasn’t gonna kill anyone else if they got hurt here, but he didn’t want to just stand around and watch.

Lincoln caught Crispin’s arm in his hand, pulling him up into a hug. He didn’t say a word.

“I’m… sorry,” he started to explain, but his words of comfort were cut short by a screech.

“I didn’t know you were in a position to do that. I’d been pushed into this without my knowledge, and I was kind of like, oh…”

He pulled away.

“You don’t know what it’s like. Your whole world is filled with colorful little bits and pieces of yourself, and people trying to help you through hard times, and you have to be okay with that.”

And what better way to be okay than a hug?


“Like, you know, how it’s like. You know things won’t get better until you're blue-eyed, and you’re gonna be okay, and you know people will be okay, and you can’t… you can’t let that happen. You’re gonna push through this and be okay.”

Well, there was still shit to deal with.

“Just... Thank you.”

God, the kindness he showed Alan was almost enough. Even if he’d wanted to, he’d have never gotten that chance to meet someone like Alan. The two of them were best friends. And now, here he was, face down in the dirt for Alan to scoop up his jacket and sleep it off.

Shit, he was truly thankful for everything.

His shoulders tensed up, and a tightness shot through his whole body.

He had to do this. He had to do this to get out of here, even if it took all he could to get out.

Cecilia trudged along behind El Tigre and Bicho Palo.

There was a fine line between being on the road and being on the wrong side of it, and that line was not always a straight one. Sometimes the terrain was too rough and it was taking too long to get there, even on the smooth stretch of desert that stretched from here to the horizon. Sometimes the path they were following would have jerked her wrong way, and she'd end up being dragged off into a side of the damn road they barely knew about, or worse, she'd be close enough to the checkpoint to see the bodies that had tried to tear her away.

The short distance between them was almost ten times longer than it usually was for the two of them, but they weren't close enough to call home. Not when it was down to the final stretch, the final blood, the last life left of their friends.

They turned around and kept going. They didn't stop until they were near the end of the road, the fence.

The distance between them was so long that they almost made it unrecognizable. There was just too much to it. ‘so’ and ’a’ were almost synonymous, not just ‘too’ but ‘too’ and ’well’, and that was just what Austin had said, and she knew it was true, and she believed him, and she deserved to at least know what he had told her, and she hoped that maybe this would help calm her down a little. But she didn’t trust him.

And then he said something.

“Did he do that?”

She swallowed the spit that was building up in her throat.

“Did he… do…”

I spent 9 months in Portland when I was 18, 19 years old and these were formative months because I was an absolute failure at living my life and I had friends who kept me alive and who saw through my hard veneer and who chose to be kind to me even though I was not worthy of their kindness, I was not. This is why when people tell me 'Hey John, you're a good guy', I say 'No, I've seen John in a lot of guises and I reject any claims to being a good guy, I see' and in Portland I had a community of people who accepted me exactly as I was and though I didn't know how to take their acceptance, and this song -- most of them are with god now -- and it's called 'Wear Black' ."]

He was in some sort of daze right now, he wasn't used to being this daze. He didn't know what was happening at that moment. He didn't know what his options were.

Javi didn't really know what to do either. He had no idea what to do next. He didn't know what the endgame was like. There were so many options, and he just got to one decision after another. How much danger were they giving him, what would happen if he made a mistake? He was scared of falling in with the wrong group, or the wrong people, or the wrong end.

He didn't think much of himself. He was still a bit of an awkward, even mess-headed Javi, but he had good clothes, and good parents, and a good job, so he'd picked his team fairly well.

The bat was chirping at him, and a jittery Javi could make out that there was something else going on.

He glanced out the window and could see that this wasn't a friendly game.

Raja kept his eyes closed. His brain kept on scanning for threats, though the ever-present fears of being left behind seemed to outweigh the other concerns. When the flashlight finally cut out and illuminated Javi once more, the worry of being left behind was finally crushing him. He looked back at Raja, swallowing hard as he did.

He didn't know what to say in response. All he could really do was sit there and wait, or dig his fingers into his wound as best he could until the paramedics could arrive.

He hoped they would show up.

Javi couldn't even imagine the possibilities.

Javi's heart pounded as he finally saw the light inside the ambulance.

He turned his head to look at the other paramedics, his eyes wide with expectancy. They'd been his voice in the emergency room for the last hour or so, but they'd finally arrived. They seemed keen to do everything they could to make things right, and while he'd hoped they would, he wondered if they'd been swayed by his request to look for the others and go straight to the people he'd spent the last two days searching. The truth was probably somewhere in between.

"Hey, uh, thanks. Can I help you? There's something I need to say."

He didn't know how much he was going to lose by calling. They'd kept everything in relative, even the details of his injuries. The closest he'd gotten was a stinging in his hand, but that didn't necessarily mean he was panicking. There had to be some other shit he needed to worry about besides that.

Javi had tried, and failed, to keep things from getting to this point, but now he was the one having

David stumbled back as the clacks and thundered of the metal clacks and the thumping of a thunderclap landed somewhere a few meters away.

He looked down at his collar, remembering there was one, a bit of metal that had once been attached to his collar. Now it was gone and all that remained was the orange glow of his skin.

He scrambled to get up, hastily finding the flashlight to illuminate the darkened hallways that now gave off an orange glow. He yanked the switch to turn the light off, taking a deep breath as he did.

"Wait, wait-"

Suddenly a blaring, crackling voice echoed from somewhere behind him.

"GET OUT!"

David jumped to the first available available spot in the darkness, quickly scanning the area for the presence of others before turning around and running back into the darkness.

He kept his eyes on the light.

A voice echoed from a few meters further down the hallway.

Astrid turned around, still holding her collar. She said something to the other two, then stepped closer to the wall.

"If you hear shouting in the distance, stay calm," she whispered.

"Fuck!"

David kept running forward, but his legs were getting kicked in. His left leg had started to kick him, but he was getting the rockers of the compound in every single step. The rockers kicked him to the side and kicked him further and further before he started falling down on his knees and just rolled over onto his side.

Tears began to run down his cheeks from the effort. He groaned, groaning heavily. His right leg kicked him to the side.

His chest felt tight. He could feel something tap against it. The tightness of his bandages were starting to throb and his skin was starting to feel dry.

“That’s a shame,” he muttered, looking around in the direction that August had pointed. “I wonder how many have we met since then, back in the day. I wonder if we got mixed up before we got here. I wonder if it was just a bit of luck that led to where we are now.”

Tears began to well up in the corners of his eyes. The situation was beyond the pale of everything he had known, at least before August revealed himself to him. Much of what he knew before now was gone, and he barely remembered how he got the news of his existence.

He didn’t want to. He’d buried the hatchet the moment the announcement had come through, and he’d been searching for a bit before finding what he’d assumed was the people’s head Quiver Link. He’d never found a way to put it away.

Before he went back to his bag and sat down, he thought about what August said about God. What an absolute shit it was for him to be considered God. He didn’t know what to say when people said they thought He was out of line, so he just stayed silent.

He knew that people’s heart was in their hands and they were instructed to do the will of God or they’d be damned. To put a name to that, let’s say he was wrong.

Sayuna had died before he even thought about her being dead. He was too numb to feel anything after that.

Before they left, he’d thought of two things:

1. What Austin said.

2. What he’d done.

He only thought of one of them now.

He had to think of the former before he thought of the latter.

That meant they were friends. He’d been through a lot. But even with that being said, he’d never meant to kill her before. He’d only intended to hurt her because he was scared of hurting her and that scared her too bad.

But when he came back there, he knew it was different. August could only feel it in his hands now. He could talk to her and she could see him. Both of them were afraid.

August told him if he tried to do anything, he'd be hurt. His lips inverted into a thin line.

That was how it was until they left. The other boy’s words had scared him away, it’s why he’d stayed away from Sayuna. He didn’t know what happened to him. He didn’t know what had happened to Austin.

Before they left, August said to Sayuna, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for thinking of you up. It's why I never had any thoughts about finding out if you were dead, and it’s why I’m not sure about what’s going to happen with your Gift.”

He was going back to Noah. There had been something vague before, before they both woke up. It had seemed likely that they wouldn’t see each other again. At first, he’d thought it would be just a reunion. They could be normal. They could spend their

She couldn't do it. She didn't have the strength. Her legs would start to fail. Something would have to give her.

She needed to get up. Her head would explode, her arms wouldn't be able to do anything. She couldn't see right now. She needed to get through this. And when she got through, she'd see what was in front of her.

Claudia's eyes snapped open again, and she was greeted by a bright light, running through the darkness. The walls shimmered in the distance. She raised her head, blinking ever so slightly to see.

"What..." she whimpered, "What are you doing here?"

Her head swiveled around, and she gasped, blinking even wider than before. "Who--What are you doing?"

The light turned off.

''Come on,'' Melodie said, her voice even quieter now. She raised her head, took a deep breath.

''Melodie,'' the darkness whispered, ''You have no power of the light around you. You have no power of your own. You have no power of perception, except the one you have.''

''I see.''

Melodie lifted her head and glared at the darkness. She sighed.

''You have no power of your own or your illusions. You cannot move or feel anything around you. You have no power of your own, either. You are nothing.''

Melodie's hand brushed over her face. She breathed a long sigh.

''You have no power of your own. You have no power of thought, and you have no power of your own memory. You are nothing. You are just... lifeless. To the outside world, you are nothing more than a noise, a noise you make, a collection of images, a series of images scattered in your mind. You are nothing.''

''No.''

Melodie's hand reached out to the darkness, and for a moment it felt as if her fingers would be completely numb.

''You have no power of your own. You have no power of perception, and you have no power of your own. You are just a surface that dumfounded all over the place.''

Melodie's eyelids turned white. Her breathing became heavier. The walls of the room became thicker. The ceiling became a layer of frost.

''Let the light take you.''

Melodie's hands clawed at the edges of the cold floor, and with effort, they broke free of the hard

Alan gasped in horror as the creature, which looked about the size of a small duffle bag, crawled down his legs and circled around his feet like a Squeak Shark.

The screamer disappeared into a swirl of insects.

((Stephen Sanders continued from Play Dead))

Well, he could be surprised that they hadn't found him sooner. But he was more than a little suspicious about the thing with the orb and its strange appearance.

How was he supposed to know that the Swarm was actually operating under the government? If they were in on it, they had to have someone to talk to. Someone that wasn't just government spooks and had to be able to do a lot of other things. Stephen had his doubts, but they got him out of school and out into the real world a couple of times.

"Hey, can you slow your orb down?"

It wasn't a gift. Stephen wasn't even sure how much help he'd get from having to slow it down, if that. A pair of bugs running around, refusing to go down, was probably not good.

But he did still hoped that his plan could work. At this point, he was just as much in need of urgent action as the others.

The bugs got better at hiding around the edge of the fence, which was getting closer to them. It was maybe too close to the camp's perimeter, and it was definitely more windy than he'd planned on traveling out there in, but Stephen wasn't about to complain. He just had to keep pushing himself forward, and maybe he'd just find something else to take his mind off of.

"Fuck, man, I'm over here." He groaned, turning his back around. "I'll probably be up early tomorrow. I'm pretty dehydrated."

“Hey, uh… you don’t have to run, right?” Stephen trailed off as he followed the Swarm down the road and beyond the fence. "I... I just have to turn around and walk towards the building, and you keep following me..." His companion, Claudia, had been similarly wary of the path ahead of him as they had been.

And he stared at her, her chest heaving, her fists heaving.

"Just..." Crispin was silent for a moment, looking back down at the sand again. "Just leave."

Her words came out almost as though they were uttered entirely out loud, though Crispin knew it was only so loud. He turned to leave, but found a hand, too, and that hand was too much for him to ignore. He glanced at Moose, at the others who were still milling around the area, and he gave each one of them a quick wave, then moved on.

"Later y'all. We gonna get this over with."

Crispy stood up, and he was already walking with his tail tucked into his bag.

They talked about how Jenelle's gonna start to kill them, and he nodded in agreement. Eventually, he'd done enough to stop Jenelle from fucking with them, and now they were just going to work together to get out of this place and hopefully get out to the road. He didn't want to see a road.

"We should follow them, yeah."

They followed Crispin to their final destination, and Stephen didn't turn around to leave. "We should go look for them."

His hands shook. There wasn't enough light to see at this point, and there wasn't enough water or food. He wanted more, but all he could manage was a few words before he collapsed on his back and drifted off into the night.

“Alright, alright. This is gonna be a long night, but I think we are good. I’m gonna get some sleep.”

They made their way to the road, following Crispin's lead. It was the only way that they were gonna get this place, and now they didn’t have any water or anything to get dehydrated, and it looked like they might have to start pissing in the desert if they didn’t drink some of the Kool-Aid. It wasn’t much of a lie, but it was one that Stephen tried to make with his head.

((Stephen Sanders continued elsewhere.))

He slept, he just really didn't. He didn't think he would sleep this long, he was about to get the news of his death and the horrible, horrible shit that had happened, but he didn't even think to look for it because it was a lie. He kind of wished that he had done something about
======================================== SAMPLE 7 ========================================

Her heart pounded. She couldn't believe that the voice coming out of Kyle's mouth hadn't been the one she was expecting, and he sounded even more exhausted than he had...

It was then that she remembered he had another pair of scissors in hand. After a few seconds of thought, Emily decided that it would be a good idea to bring them to him. She looked down at her scissors, feeling slightly guilty, remembering that she hadn't had much experience with them before now. This situation made her feel even more guilty, and it was well past time for her to stop hiding her Gift when they were all in this state.

Her mind then immediately went to the second part of the plan. How the hell had she thought they'd be this far out? They were somewhere out in the desert somewhere, where was the closest they could get to a major road, and where would be the nearest town? Kyle might not even be back in time for dinner, let alone be back in time for school...

Emily couldn't see anything that looked like people in her vicinity - either. She'd have to walk far away from them, and without her shoes she would probably start to lose her feet even if she could walk. She couldn't even bring herself to go into a building with a ceiling she would have to crawl through, and the smell of ozone, of blood and flesh and dust was just too much. Besides, she didn't really feel like going through all that much of a scene. Maybe she should've stayed indoors. Maybe she would get more used to it, but she'd probably just get more used to it, and maybe that wasn't the right thing to do.

But she could think of one thing.

"I'm, uh, okay?"

Emily swallowed some air before continuing. "I'm okay. I'm hurt, but I'm fine. I'm scared, but I'm not afraid. I'm okay, I just-I'm just here in this stupid desert, and everyone's looking at me and I'm just going to, I don't know, play for the cameras and pretend they don't exist, or whatever."

She sniffled, looking down at her cut, before sighing and starting to walk over towards the figures. Her heart started beating so fast again. She didn't think it could be helped.

"Kyle? Is...is that your, uh, companion?"

A bright flash of light preceded a massive explosion that ripped apart the upper floor of the Compound. Chunks of smoldering debris rained down on the surrounding area, as a shockwave rippled out across the desert.

There was a rumble, then a very quiet hark, followed by the clanging of heavy metal.

======================================== SAMPLE 8 ========================================

Kaine heard the pop and clatter of broken glass on the ground a few times before his steps towards the scene. He paused as he approached it, pointing his flashlight at one of the injured people on the ground.

"Hey, okay, no-don't hurt him. Just... don't move. Please."

Ximena bent down to pick up Raja's sweater, looking down at the wound on his chest.

"Is he OK? I'm worried about you. He had his heart knocked out, he could probably get a heart attack if he needed to. Is this OK?"

She felt a knot forming in her stomach, and it was getting hotter as she thought about the people she had seen die on the bus.

Ximena nodded, looking up at Alan. "There's probably people with guns. They shouldn't be here, we know that. But if you get them, we might be able to do something."

It was at that moment that she remembered the words of one of her classmates.

"Don't move."

She sighed, looking into the darkened area with the flashlight. Ximena imagined that if the injuries weren't fatal, the situation would be perfectly OK. Unfortunately, Ximena imagined wrong things.

"But we need to do something. You're probably tired. And you might be scared, and you might be anxious... and we don't know how to calm that down. We need to figure out a way."

She started to turn around to give Alan more of a look, before realizing that he was holding the flashlight and holding her hand. She reached out her left hand to wipe her tears. "Sorry, Ximena. I know it's a big ask, but I really wanted to talk before we go."

Ximena turned back to Alan and gestured with her flashlight towards them.

"Go on, Alan."

Alan almost gave Alan a sheepish look, but he didn’t. This was, by and large, Alan’s decision to turn around and run after Ximena without any of the consequences. In his head he thought he’d been good to the girl, and he’d never thought to ask questions about what happened, or who did, or why, or why did it turn out that way. Alan knew he’d have another shit time going into the interrogation room and being thrown to the wall by the weirdos, but he’d also known that he wasn’t worth the risk.

Still, the idea of Ximena going off with him like that was a total shock to the system, and it was one that Alan could easily have stopped long ago. Alan didn’t know his teacher as well as Ximena, and so there was no way he was just going to

Astrid Millar wasn't even sure how much money she made from her latest book deal, though she said it was "just under a million dollars." She also said that she'd be doing a book tour in the fall. If people were willing to give her a little bit of a boost, that might just be the spark she needed to get back on her feet and start getting her stuff together. It was also probably also stupid to tell Mattie that she'd been dropping out. That would only end up when he started ruining people's lives, and then only after he started convincing her to come with him to an evil party.

She did mention that she liked The Hunger Games.

Actually, she kind of liked The Hunger Games.

It was either that, or wait until she was at least 60 days from when she started really actively hating Mattie.

She was pretty sure that Astrid Millar was already dead.

She had been keeping herself at a respectful distance from the girl. Even if this ever went public, everyone here would probably keep their distance.

She had no idea if she still got along with her classmates, or if the person's situation was any different from what she knew. She really didn't.

But she assumed that. If the situation was as follows, everybody was probably pretty upset. Sooner or later, everyone would start feeling the consequences of their actions.

And then it would be up to Astrid to decide if this was a real, or not.

Astrid certainly had a clear head start on most of the others.

But as the day went on, the chances of her actually finding somebody to talk to increased by the minute.

The ambulance drivers said they would be leaving at 11:45 am. Jacob did not believe that was happening. He got into the seat in the front and started walking towards the back of the ambulance as the others stood around listening to Cyrus. He didn’t make it far from them.

The glass half shattered in the hospital's landing gear. Astrid was on the announcements, and apparently Cyrus was talking about a reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the Deerstalkers.

Jacob kept his eyes off of his medication bottle as the drivers said their doors closed.

He hoped he'd made sense of what they were saying, given the many detours and mishaps they had had made since their last detour. It might also have been a trick to figure out, given their present surroundings.

He hoped he had made sense of it, too.

He climbed in and sat down next to the back of the ambulance, and started fidgeting as he waited for the others to get theirs.

Yvette wasn't very clear about her own situation. Was she an escaped convict, or an escaped convict? She didn't really feel the one way.

What she did know is that there was no escape route out of this place. If she tried to leave, it would still be at least partially because of the dangerous situation she was in, and there might be people there who were willing to fight for her. So many people. So many bad things. It wasn't like Oregon. Or like the Deep South. But there weren't many places Yvette would be safe. So, what was she risking?

She didn't have a map, so she had to walk. She had to walk in circles, and try to find some lights where she wouldn't get used to being out of sight for hours on end. She didn't have a jacket, so she had to put it over her waist. She didn't have a hat, so she had to put it over her face. And she had to put her hair in her pockets, because she had her pockets and everything, and she could hide in her pockets for a little bit and she'd just got up to her wrists and her ankles and everything.

And also she was afraid. Not of the situation, but of herself.

Yvette didn't know how to describe this. She was afraid of the unknown, and she always was when she was younger. Very early in her schooling, she got her head stuck on a brick wall and couldn't tell if it was a metaphor or a description. She was always more scared of being out of the sunlight than anything else, but the light at her fingertips was too weak to bother focusing on it. Like, she could see the light of her sister, but only right in her vision, and she could see so much at once. She had no idea how people actually worked, how things worked. She didn't know if she was real or not. She had no idea how much of the world really existed outside of what was on her map.

She did not know how to feel, really, so she tried to put those things out of her mind. Tried to put herself in another world, but she knew now that she would die if she did.

Only with the help of some people on the trip was she able to get a rough idea of the place she was in.

In another life, she might have been able to talk to people and she might have been able to find out whether they were being real, or just talking to herself. But Yvette just remembered that everybody had a plan B.

Feeding every* (*not actually every, but most) scene in Supers pregame to a robot and telling it to generate Final Destination deaths for every character in them.
[+] CW for suicide stuff, eye stuff, brain stuff, poison stuff, the whole gamut really. roughly as violent as an episode of Happy Tree Friends
Alan: Dies after he breaks up with Austin. He returns to his home, feeling guilty and confused. He decides to drink some Gatorade Glacier Cherry to calm his nerves, but he doesn’t realize that the bottle is expired and contaminated with mold. He chokes on the drink and falls to the floor, knocking over a lamp. The lamp sparks and ignites a fire, which spreads to the curtains and the furniture. Alan is trapped in the flames and suffocates from smoke inhalation.
Alan: He cheers for Austin and taunts the others, throwing rocks at them. He gets hit by a rock in the mouth, breaking his teeth and jaw. He chokes on his own blood and teeth fragments.
Alan: He gets knocked out by a rock. He wakes up and sees Austin still unconscious next to him. He tries to wake him up, but Austin’s gift activates and he switches bodies with Alan. Alan, in Austin’s body, gets hit by another rock and dies.
Alan: He is killed by a car crash when he tries to drive away from Austin’s house. The car’s brakes fail and he slams into a tree, causing the steering wheel to impale his chest.
Alan: He is struck by a lightning bolt that travels through the metal frame of his bike. He is electrocuted and burned to death.

Astrid: Accidentally stabs herself in the eye with a rose thorn while gardening with her father.
Astrid: After killing Sarah, she goes back to her room and tries to write a horror story on her laptop. However, the laptop overheats and explodes, sending shrapnel into her face and chest.
Astrid: Astrid hears Jared’s screams from the quarry and tries to help him, but she is too late. She sees his lifeless body floating in the water and panics. She runs back to the ledge, but she trips over Kincaid’s leg and falls over the edge. She hits her head on a rock on the way down and dies from the impact.

Astrid: She dies from suffocation when she accidentally inhales a balloon that pops in her mouth during a birthday party.

Astrid: She has been trying to figure out a way to cheat death, using her phone as a source of information and clues. She realizes that death has been sending her omens through her phone, such as texts, calls, and emojis. She decides to destroy her phone, hoping that it will break the cycle. However, as she smashes her phone with a hammer, it sparks and electrocutes her. She drops dead on the spot.
Astrid: She is hit by a bus while crossing the street, after she sees a copy of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter on the ground. The book opens to the last page, where it reads: “The tide of darkness seemed to sweep him back to her, postponing from moment to moment his entry into the world of guilt and sorrow.”

PREGAME: ["We took a tour of Universal Studios in Los Angeles and, inside and outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not-real people trying to say something.

["Images are made palpable, ironed flat by technology and, in turn, dictate the seemingly real through the representative." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall.

Astrid Millar (Supers), Gift: Goth Eyes -- (Seen and Not Seen)

(TW: Astrid's story deals with themes of ableism, usually in a fairly implicit capacity.)

THREADS!

PREGAME: [STANDING ON THE SHORE, GETTING OLD. YOU LEFT ME HERE AMID THE VAPE CLOWNS.] -- [You could meet someone who’s lost like you.]

THE MUTE: ["There's a schematic for the whole Goths album between when and where I was in my youth, I mean some of them are stories but they all correlate to moments. I spent 9 months in Portland when I was 18, 19 years old and these were formative months because I was an absolute failure at living my life and I had friends who kept me alive and who saw through my hard veneer and who chose to be kind to me even though I was not worthy of their kindness, I was not. This is why when people tell me 'Hey John, you're a good guy', I say 'No, I've seen John in a lot of guises and I reject any claims to being a good guy, I see' and in Portland I had a community of people who accepted me exactly as I was and though I didn't know how to take their acceptance, and this song -- most of them are with god now -- and it's called 'Wear Black' ."]

THE COMPOUND:
[You could be anywhere on the black screen.] -- [Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes, as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize. Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure; you ought to head for the exits, the sooner the better.] -- [Don't you know people write songs about girls like you ?] -- [Tonya, you were the brightest. Yeah you rose from the ashes, and survived all the crashes, wiping the blood from your white tights.] -- [Never seen anything like that before, falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor.] -- [Take a look at these hands, you don't have to mention it. No thanks, I'm a government man.] -- [But you're waking a monster that will drive you from your hoary halls of gold, and your body will get cold. And we don't waste time with love. It's just death from above.] -- [This ain't no party, this ain't no disco. This ain't no fooling around. This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now.] -- [Stay alive. Maybe spit blood at the camera. Just stay alive. Stay forever alive.] -- [And I run, and I run, and I run, and I run] -- [upon this tidal wave of, oh god oh god, young blood young blood young blood young blood -]

THE AFTERMATH:
[No one cares about the waves at the bottom of the ocean, and at the bottom of the ocean it's always blue. No one will remember 'cause nothing lasts forever, and everybody's looking for somebody to use.] -- [We are the ones who don't slow down at all, and there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.] -- [But I am just a broken machine, and I do things that I don't really mean.] -- [Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.] -- [No promise sweeter than a blood pact. Nothing harder to go through with than a vanishing act. No morning colder than the first frost. No friends closer than the ones we’ve lost. Nothing sharper than a serpent’s tooth. Nothing harder than the gospel truth. Though you repent and don sackcloth and try to make nice, you can’t cross the same river twice.] -- [???]

When she was young, Astrid was shunned by other children, who were afraid of her eyes. She felt lonely and isolated. When she grew older, she found a group of people who shared her taste for dark fashion and music. They called themselves the Goths.

Astrid likes to listen to music played by lyres and flutes. She prefers songs that are fast and loud. She also likes to read scrolls that tell stories of romance and adventure. She especially enjoys stories that feature gods and heroes.

Astrid has a pet snake that she keeps in a basket. Her name is Muffin, and Astrid loves her very much.

Name: Astrid Millar
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Rank: Warrior
Hobbies and Interests: Raiding, pillaging, worshipping Wodan, her pet wolf, reading runes, goth aesthetic

Gift: Goth Eyes
Power Details: Astrid's eyes are blessed by Wodan, the god of war and wisdom. They are completely black, like the night sky or the raven's feathers. They allow her to see in the dark and intimidate her enemies. She also has black markings on her face, which appear like war paint or tattoos.
Limitations and Drawbacks: Astrid's eyes make her stand out among her people and the Romans. She can hide her emotions or intentions easily, as her eyes do not reveal them.

Appearance: Astrid is 5'6" tall and weighs approximately 130 lbs. Her hair is black and braided with beads and bones. She is fair-skinned and has a medium build and a slightly rounded face, with a pointed chin, large black eyes, and a small nose. Her ears are both pierced with metal rings, and she has a scar on the right side of her nose from a fight.

Astrid typically wears dark clothing made of leather and fur, along with jewelry and accessories that are intended to show her status and devotion to Wodan. On the day of the sack of Rome she was wearing a black leather tunic, a black fur cloak, a black leather belt, a black metal necklace, and black leather boots.

Background:
Astrid was born in Gothia on September 12th, 385 AD to John and Eleanor Millar. Her mother is a healer and her father is a chieftain. She has one older brother, Eddie, who is a warlord.

During childhood, Astrid's peers tended to respect her, but also fear her, as she was fierce and fearless in battle. She often felt lonely and misunderstood. However, during adolescence, she discovered the goth subculture, which she then embraced as it was considered honorable and noble for goths to be brave and ruthless.

When she's not fighting or raiding, Astrid can often be found listening to the bards. Contrary to what one would expect from her appearance, her taste in music leans toward cheerful and upbeat songs that celebrate life and victory.

Astrid spends a lot of time carving runes on wood or stone, as she finds that they help her communicate with Wodan and the spirits. When she's at home, she also spends a lot of her time reading runes that she finds fascinating or inspiring, using them as a way to learn more about herself and the world. Her favorites are runes that tell stories of heroes and legends.

Since the age of 10, Astrid has owned a pet wolf. His name is Muffin, and Astrid loves him dearly.

Astrid is an excellent warrior, though she is fairly rebellious and independent, as she has difficulties following orders that she disagrees with. She generally avoids thinking about what her plans are for after she conquers Rome.

Her social circle mostly consists of other goths and goth-adjacent people. However, she sometimes enjoys when she's the token goth within a group, at which point she consciously acts more goth than usual and puts on an extra dark and menacing persona.

Personality: Astrid is generally loyal and courageous around others, although her interactions with them tend to be marked with a certain arrogant aura. Due to her Gift's enhancement of confident eye movements, she is a good leader, and does so assertively when she perceives someone as weak. Her bold exterior belies an internalized desire for acceptance, as well as feelings of loneliness and alienation. She sees a seer regularly.

Conclusion: A sketch of Astrid drawn in charcoal, with a message that just reads "Hail Wodan." - Wolf

Background:
Astrid was born in Bend, Oregon on September 12th, 1905 to John and Eleanor Millar. Her mother is a secretary and her father is a newspaper editor. She has one older brother, Eddie, who is studying law at Harvard.

Astrid was always a quiet and reserved child, who preferred reading books to playing with other kids. She felt like an outsider at school, where her peers thought she was weird or creepy because of her eyes. She found solace in writing stories, where she could create her own worlds and characters.

When she was 10 years old, she got a pet corn snake from a traveling circus. She named her Muffin and kept her in a glass terrarium in her room. Astrid loved Muffin and considered her as her best friend.

Astrid is a good student, but she doesn’t care much about grades or college. She wants to be a writer someday, or maybe travel the world and have adventures. She likes to read magazines like The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, where she learns about the latest trends and news.

Astrid’s friends are mostly other flappers or bohemians who share her love of jazz, dancing, and parties. She likes to go to speakeasies and nightclubs, where she can drink gin, smoke cigarettes, and flirt with boys. She enjoys being the center of attention and playing up her goth persona.

Personality: Astrid is polite and friendly around most people, but she doesn’t let anyone get too close to her. She is good at lying and hiding her true feelings when she needs to. She has a cynical and sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes offends others. She is afraid of being rejected or abandoned by those she cares about. She sees a psychiatrist regularly.

THREADS!

PREGAME: ["We took a tour of Universal Studios in Los Angeles and, inside and outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not-real people trying to say something. And we're real people not trying to say anything. I just like everybody and I believe in everything." - Andy Warhol]

MEMORIES: ["The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration." - Frida Kahlo]

FLOTILLA:
["Images are made palpable, ironed flat by technology and, in turn, dictate the seemingly real through the representative." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes." - Andy Warhol] -- ["In the end, glorification of splendid underdogs is nothing other than the glorification of the splendid system that makes them so." - Theodor Adorno] -- ["I think that art is still a site for resistance and for the telling of various stories, for validating certain subjectivities we normally overlook. I'm trying to be affective, to suggest changes, and to resist what I feel are the tyrannies of social life on a certain level." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." - Vincent van Gogh] -- ["One eye sees, the other feels." - Paul Klee] -- ["I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work" because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do." - Andy Warhol] -- ["I think that every so-called history book and film biography should be prefaced by the statement that what follows is the author's rendition of events and circumstances." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["I never think that people die.

Fortune directs the feast, and distributes the parts according to the inconstancy of its caprice." - Francisco Goya] -- ["It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations.

Astrid Millar (Supers), Gift: Goth Eyes -- (Seen and Not Seen)

(TW: Astrid's story deals with themes of ableism, usually in a fairly implicit capacity.)

THREADS!

PREGAME: [STANDING ON THE SHORE, GETTING OLD. YOU LEFT ME HERE AMID THE VAPE CLOWNS.] -- [You could meet someone who’s lost like you.]

THE MUTE: ["There's a schematic for the whole Goths album between when and where I was in my youth, I mean some of them are stories but they all correlate to moments. I spent 9 months in Portland when I was 18, 19 years old and these were formative months because I was an absolute failure at living my life and I had friends who kept me alive and who saw through my hard veneer and who chose to be kind to me even though I was not worthy of their kindness, I was not. This is why when people tell me 'Hey John, you're a good guy', I say 'No, I've seen John in a lot of guises and I reject any claims to being a good guy, I see' and in Portland I had a community of people who accepted me exactly as I was and though I didn't know how to take their acceptance, and this song -- most of them are with god now -- and it's called 'Wear Black' ."]

THE COMPOUND:
[You could be anywhere on the black screen.] -- [Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes, as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize. Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure; you ought to head for the exits, the sooner the better.] -- [Don't you know people write songs about girls like you ?] -- [Tonya, you were the brightest. Yeah you rose from the ashes, and survived all the crashes, wiping the blood from your white tights.] -- [Never seen anything like that before, falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor.] -- [Take a look at these hands, you don't have to mention it. No thanks, I'm a government man.] -- [But you're waking a monster that will drive you from your hoary halls of gold, and your body will get cold. And we don't waste time with love. It's just death from above.] -- [This ain't no party, this ain't no disco. This ain't no fooling around. This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now.] -- [Stay alive. Maybe spit blood at the camera. Just stay alive. Stay forever alive.] -- [And I run, and I run, and I run, and I run] -- [upon this tidal wave of, oh god oh god, young blood young blood young blood young blood -]

THE AFTERMATH:
[No one cares about the waves at the bottom of the ocean, and at the bottom of the ocean it's always blue. No one will remember 'cause nothing lasts forever, and everybody's looking for somebody to use.] -- [We are the ones who don't slow down at all, and there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.] -- [But I am just a broken machine, and I do things that I don't really mean.] -- [Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.] -- [No promise sweeter than a blood pact. Nothing harder to go through with than a vanishing act. No morning colder than the first frost. No friends closer than the ones we’ve lost. Nothing sharper than a serpent’s tooth. Nothing harder than the gospel truth. Though you repent and don sackcloth and try to make nice, you can’t cross the same river twice.] -- [???]

THREADS!

PREGAME: ["We took a tour of Universal Studios in Los Angeles and, inside and outside the place, it was very difficult to tell what was real. They're not-real people trying to say something. And we're real people not trying to say anything. I just like everybody and I believe in everything." - Andy Warhol]

MEMORIES: ["The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration." - Frida Kahlo]

FLOTILLA:
["Images are made palpable, ironed flat by technology and, in turn, dictate the seemingly real through the representative." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["You'd be surprised how many people want to hang an electric chair on their living-room wall. Specially if the background color matches the drapes." - Andy Warhol] -- ["In the end, glorification of splendid underdogs is nothing other than the glorification of the splendid system that makes them so." - Theodor Adorno] -- ["I think that art is still a site for resistance and for the telling of various stories, for validating certain subjectivities we normally overlook. I'm trying to be affective, to suggest changes, and to resist what I feel are the tyrannies of social life on a certain level." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." - Vincent van Gogh] -- ["One eye sees, the other feels." - Paul Klee] -- ["I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work" because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do." - Andy Warhol] -- ["I think that every so-called history book and film biography should be prefaced by the statement that what follows is the author's rendition of events and circumstances." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["I never think that people die.

It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["Since I was shot, everything is such a dream to me. Like I don't know whether I'm alive or whether I died. I wasn't afraid before. And having been dead once, I shouldn't feel fear. But I am afraid. I don't understand why." - Andy Warhol] -- ["'One to the other / Unos á otros' - Thus goes the world. We mock at and deceive each other. He who, yesterday, was the ball, is to-day the horseman in the ring. Fortune directs the feast, and distributes the parts according to the inconstancy of its caprice." - Francisco Goya] -- ["It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["Art...has always been a polite form of terrorism." - Robert Boswell] -- ["I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed." - Barbara Kruger] -- ["Death means a lot of money, honey.

THREADS!

PREGAME: [STANDING ON THE SHORE, GETTING OLD. YOU LEFT ME HERE AMID THE VAPE CLOWNS.] -- [You could meet someone who’s lost like you.]

THE MUTE: ["There's a schematic for the whole Goths album between when and where I was in my youth, I mean some of them are stories but they all correlate to moments. I spent 9 months in Portland when I was 18, 19 years old and these were formative months because I was an absolute failure at living my life and I had friends who kept me alive and who saw through my hard veneer and who chose to be kind to me even though I was not worthy of their kindness, I was not. This is why when people tell me 'Hey John, you're a good guy', I say 'No, I've seen John in a lot of guises and I reject any claims to being a good guy, I see' and in Portland I had a community of people who accepted me exactly as I was and though I didn't know how to take their acceptance, and this song -- most of them are with god now -- and it's called 'Wear Black' ."]

THE COMPOUND:
[You could be anywhere on the black screen.] -- [Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes, as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize. Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure; you ought to head for the exits, the sooner the better.] -- [Don't you know people write songs about girls like you ?] -- [Tonya, you were the brightest. Yeah you rose from the ashes, and survived all the crashes, wiping the blood from your white tights.] -- [Never seen anything like that before, falling bodies tumble 'cross the floor.] -- [Take a look at these hands, you don't have to mention it. No thanks, I'm a government man.] -- [But you're waking a monster that will drive you from your hoary halls of gold, and your body will get cold. And we don't waste time with love. It's just death from above.] -- [This ain't no party, this ain't no disco. This ain't no fooling around. This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B. I ain't got time for that now.] -- [Stay alive. Maybe spit blood at the camera. Just stay alive. Stay forever alive.] -- [And I run, and I run, and I run, and I run] -- [upon this tidal wave of, oh god oh god, young blood young blood young blood young blood -]

THE AFTERMATH:
[No one cares about the waves at the bottom of the ocean, and at the bottom of the ocean it's always blue. No one will remember 'cause nothing lasts forever, and everybody's looking for somebody to use.] -- [We are the ones who don't slow down at all, and there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.] -- [But I am just a broken machine, and I do things that I don't really mean.] -- [Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.] -- [No promise sweeter than a blood pact. Nothing harder to go through with than a vanishing act. No morning colder than the first frost. No friends closer than the ones we’ve lost. Nothing sharper than a serpent’s tooth. Nothing harder than the gospel truth. Though you repent and don sackcloth and try to make nice, you can’t cross the same river twice.] -- [???]

Hello SOTF MINI. Have you ever looked at a version of SOTF MINI and said to yourself, "Wow, these characters sure do make decisions. However, trying to understand and empathize with these deep nuances of human behavior makes me feel scared/confused/inconvenienced. I wish there was a way to arbitrarily reduce these things into a 3x3 grid of categories, the paucity of which allows me to bend them to whatever my personal worldview is. Also, in order to avoid bias, there should be some kind of definitely completely unbiased, rational, and never-wrong AI helper who will do all this for me."

Well say no more, because I've got just the deal for you!

Introducing Kermit's Automated V8 SOTF MINI Alignment Chart!

Step 1: Get Microsoft Copilot to read each page of every SOTF MINI thread, and to assign the characters their placements in a DnD alignment chart. For extra flavor, also ask it to write a list of the key things that factored into its decision.
Step 2: Convert every alignment score to where their corresponding points would be on, like, an actual math chart. For example, Lawful Good is (-1.5, 1.5), True Neutral is (0,0) and Chaotic Evil is (1.5, -1.5).
Step 3: Now that you have converted morality into some easy-to-work-with numbers, it's time for some moral calculus! [audience laughtrack]! Calculate each character's average coordinate! Actually, this isn't calculus but whatever i dont care and neither do you.
Step 4: Create questionable alignment chart!

(Note: just in case it isn't clear, you should not be taking any of these as an accurate source of information on characters. This is me wearing my serious hat. Do not conflate the things this robot says have happened with things that were actually written. Do not conflate them with things that weren't written, either. Read the characters for yourself.

PS you also should not be taking this as an accurate source of information on morality)

Anyways with no further ado, we shall start at the beginning:
