Be silent. Wait for someone to make a mistake. Take advantage. Walk away. It was a simple set of instructions playing over and over in Erika’s mind, something she desperately tried to focus on over the deranged rambling sputtering out of Kelly’s mouth. Now that she'd peeled off the surgical mask, it...

Diego’s laugh was an ugly noise. It sounded like it hurt. Erika only let out a tired sigh, shaking her head in resignation. Her gaze momentarily shifted to what remained of Michael. “We're all our own main character. Everyone has a story. Stories need villains.” She looked back up to Diego. The stor...

No part of Erika felt like it had any right calling anyone else insane. And yet, everything Kelly said sounded insane. It was frustrating to hear someone suggest that Erika had no idea how long she had been thinking about this. Did Kelly understand who it was she was talking to, either of them? What...

Better than the rest of the island? It sounded perverse. They were standing in a Garden full of bodies, aiming guns at one another, and talking about how they were somehow better for it. As Kelly spoke, Erika couldn't help but cock her head in disbelief. Not once did she let her gaze linger too lon...

So here they’d stand. Her eyes locked to Diego’s, searching for any sign of self-destruction in him. Any sign that he thought she’d pull the trigger anyways, and act first. Erika gave him nothing. At this distance she got a good look at the damage that had been done to him. There was a conspicuous q...

The radar showed one of the signatures breaking off, moving elsewhere. Either lost, or spreading out to search the Gardens. Either way, it meant she only had to deal with one of them at a time. Erika pocketed the collar radar, and slowly drew the hammer back on her pistol. Two shots to the chest, on...

((erika stieglitz continued from I'll Probably Get Homesick, I Love You, Goodnight )) It was one thing to stage an attack from the fringes of the Gardens; it was another entirely to escape one from the middle of it. Only the former was a situation Erika had any real confidence in. Being unable to d...

Darlene spoke and Erika listened, motionless. She started and stopped, answered without actually providing much of an answer. Erika stared down at Darlene, but past her more than at her. Her lower left eyelid twitched a little bit, as Darlene expressed an inability to discern the motivations of othe...

I'm good to go as far as closing my time in the version out, I don't require any death ideas.

The barrel of the rifle followed Darlene all the way to the ground. That she asked stung in a way Erika found difficult to place. She didn’t like being the person who got to dictate whether something like that was okay or not. Already Erika knew she was taking away everything this person was and cou...

The contrast between the strangely-familiar sight of a person with a gun to their head and the ambiguity of the person themselves was startling. While the rifle was trained directly on the girl’s chest and Erika’s finger continued to dance near the trigger, she didn’t fire. This had happened once be...

The singing girl shouted out towards Erika, giving her a moment’s pause and stifling her second painful attempt to stand back up from cover. It was hard to imagine that the girl was sincerely trying to talk her way out of what was going to happen. Her tone made it sound less like she had a plea to m...

*ping* Before noting that she had missed, Erika had already ejected a brass case and was in the process of loading another. At this point it would’ve been stupid not to follow through on every single one. She’d taken too many missed shots. Seen too many people going down and not fading out right aw...
