Thomas could not help but gawk a bit at Zach’s last question. “Am I scar- Zach. Zach, am I scared? Where the fuck are we right now??” Thomas spread his arms wide, indicating the landscape around them. “Zach, at any given moment we are under threat of- there’s a bomb on my fucking neck! Holy- yes, I ...

“Are… Are you-?” Thomas actually found himself caught off-guard by Zach’s sudden threat. No wonder this guy had gotten himself into so much trouble already. Thomas ran his hands through his hair in frustration and found himself letting out a nervous laugh in the moment. Then, Sakurako spoke up and l...

And then Zach went and fucking lied on top of it. Thomas was right about him being dangerous to all of them. “I don’t know what the hell you did or did not plan to do with that thing, but you don’t just ‘forget’ that you have a weapon out here.” Thomas spat, only a few feet from Zach now. “For a sec...

“I’m keeping busy.” Thomas gave Sean a polite nod and a smile. No one could be said to truly be doing well at this point, and any measurement on a scale of good to bad was going to have to be viewed on a heavy curve of relativity. By island standards, though, maybe things weren’t so bad. Having take...

As Thomas absentmindedly sifted through Aditi and Charelle’s bags he remained deep in thought. ((Thomas Buckley continued from The Special Special Special! )) Luckily for him, his mind wasn’t focused on any matter of particular practicality or seriousness. Had that been the case, he would’ve been fi...

Just as Thomas was starting to get really worried, Sean stepped in to save the day, finally finding something useful to do with that plant he’d held onto since the very beginning. The relief of Sakurako coming to allowed him to almost forget that he was supposed to be sad about Aditi and Charelle. H...

So, that was it. Aditi and Charelle had probably been dead the whole time. Theirs were the first names listed out that morning, and Thomas found himself paying little attention to those that came after. He’d been right back in the village, to keep himself, Sakurako, and Sean away from there. If they...

It was official, then. Zach would be joining their group, at least for the time being. Thomas wasn’t happy with it, but he’d already resolved to let this one go. Still, he failed to give the same warm welcome provided by Sean and Sakurako. He wasn’t going to pretend that this was his ideal scenario ...

Everything was… fine? Sean was being extremely accepting considering the situation. Absurdly accepting, even. Thomas understood that Sean and Zach were close and all and that this moment was a meaningful moment of reconciliation for them, but it was ringing a lot of alarm bells on a practicality lev...

Through the tears and explanations, Zach made a pitiful display of himself, a person who had seemingly bungled his way into two deaths and no friends. Thomas did not doubt that Zach meant the things he was saying, he was no actor and this would be quite the performance to pull off. And yet, Thomas f...

When Sakurako said that the rifle was gone, Thomas felt himself get just a bit more tense. Another reason that Violet might try to come after him, another way things could go horribly wrong. Even so, he remained close to Sakurako as she edged towards Sean, hoping Violet would have the good sense to ...

Sakurako’s smile was about as good as Thomas could’ve hoped for given how things were going. It meant she wasn’t completely pissed at him just yet. Still, until Violet left, things still felt like they balanced on a knife’s edge. A false move by anyone could set shit off again. Thomas managed to smi...

In the moment of chaos, Sakurako had apparently leapt from her place in an attempt to save someone that was already dead, probably hurting herself in the process considering the shape her leg was in. Additionally, Sean had, rather to Thomas’s surprise, has managed to identify the remains as Kyle. Wa...

Violet seemed to agree that it was best for everyone that she go, which was a bit of a relief, but Thomas had no intention of letting his eyes off the girl until she was well out of sight. He didn’t want her getting second thoughts… Mid-sentence, Violet seemed to lurch forward suddenly, an aggressiv...

On the positive end of things, no one had freaked out, and no one had gotten shot yet. Sakurako’s grip on Thomas’s hand loosened and he did the same to hers, though he wasn’t prepared to let go just yet. However, Violet had clearly kind of turned Sean down which felt like a bit of a letdown after Se...
