((Samantha Ridley continued from Leaving Me Lonely Still )) Sam hadn't seen a single person all day. She was hoping she could find Ishida before she arrived at the sawmill, but that wasn't going to happen. Sam walked east toward the place she had agreed to return. She had chosen to stay off of the b...

((Gming approved by D/N)) Ericka looked up just in time to see the boy diving at her. As he tackled her thoughts turned to the encounter with Frankie. Once again she wedged beneath her attacker, but this time she was the one who instigated it. "Once again, good morning, kids!" The morning ...

Ericka was dumbstruck. How could anybody be so stupid that they'd walk up to someone wielding a gun, in the middle of a free-for-all battle to the death, and ask for that same gun? Especially when that same person was threatening to shoot them if they didn't run. Running being what many people would...

Sam finished picking the leeches from her legs and glanced at the others. They were still talking, it was clearly a private conversation and Sam knew she had no part in it. After a moment of thought, she decided that she had to keep moving. She had people to find before tomorrow's meeting. She stead...

Sam stepped onto dry land and looked at the two other people there. The boy looked familiar, and still sounded familiar... Where had she seen him? Sam sat against a tree, she wasn't planning on interrupting a conversation she had no part in anyway. She rolled up her pant legs so her legs could have ...

Washing his hair? And he decided to pester her because, obviously, if he went up to someone in a friendly manner they would be less likely to shoot him? As if the kind of people who would shoot without warning would spare those who were friendly? Ericka didn't buy it. Go over there? Why? So he could...

After a few minutes of standing on the beach, calmly watching the sea, a voice suddenly greeting Ericka. The realization that she was no longer alone came as an unwelcome surprise.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!" she responded irritably.

The girl introduced herself as Jennifer Perez, and before Sam could respond another person addressed Jennifer. A voice that sounded oddly familiar... Sam was snapped out of her attempts to recall the owner of the voice when Jennifer offered her a seat. Sam nodded slightly in agreement, despite knowi...

The morning announcement came on. There wasn't too much of interest to Sam, although it seemed that Ishida was back to killing again. The person in the distance, likely a girl judging by the sound of her voice, invited Sam over to where she was. Sam started stepping forward before stopping to rethin...

((Ericka Bradley continued from The Cloud Minders )) Ericka didn't know how or when it happened, but she had gotten separated from that other girl. It didn't really matter anyway, since she hadn't cared if the girl traveled with her or not to begin with. Sometime after leaving the tunnels Ericka fou...

((Samantha Ridley continued from Measure Once, Cut Twice )) Sam waded through the mud and muck of the swamp. She knew she didn't need to, there was enough high ground around her the keep moderately dry, but she figured if her legs were gonna get dipped in the cesspool anyway then who was she to dela...

"I only took the gun out because I didn't feel safe with just the knife," Ericka said, drying her eyes and standing up again, "I... was heading toward the residential district. You can come with me if you want, I guess... " Ericka returned her gun to it's holster and took the kni...

"I'll be here, Samantha. Hope to God I don't hear your name on the announcements again." At least this crap was over for the time being, that was something to be grateful for. Despite that thought, Sam still had the impression that the next meeting would just be the same shit on a differe...

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Ericka fell to her knees. She tried to wipe her tears with her left hand, but they kept coming. "E-Every da-day," Ericka stuttered through her tears, "Every day I've r-run into other people a-and at l-least one of th-them has tr-tried to kill me.&...

Sam smirked with a smug delight when her kick connected sending Belle falling towards the the ground, but the smirk was soon wiped from Sam's face as Belle quickly began returning to her feet. Sam managed to block the blow to her side, but it still achieved it's goal of widening a gap between the tw...
