“Huh?” Bella stopped tapping. Her pen fell from her other hand and rolled. She tore her gaze away from the script she was studying, and towards Travis. “Oh, sorry. What’s ‘All the Stars’? Is it a song?” Sometimes Bella tapped out melodies with her finger. She would picture a song in her head, someti...

One time someone asked her a weird question. It was ‘if you weren’t an actor and dancer, what would you be doing?’ That was a tricky answer. Honestly, she had been doing both essentially all of her life, so it was like asking ‘if you had no limbs how would your life be different?’ or ‘if you breathe...

((Content warning for multishot: Bella’s backstory and characterization deal with themes of mental illness, unhealthy mother-daughter dynamics, and perfectionism. This multishot will explore that in depth. Additional TWs will be in individual posts. Reader discretion advised.)) [hr] Bella had a funn...

“Wha-” Did Rikario just stomp on his chest? Did Rikario just stomp on his chest? Like, some sort of last word ‘haha gotcha.’ It was weird, but couldn’t blame him? Maybe? But then he ran off, and Winter had to listen. And she did. While frowning! And she kept listening. Xtra was being pragmatic here....

I think this thread needs drama. So I'm starting it.

Ahem.

What is the correct way to eat fish and chips: with your fork, or with your hands?

A game Winter had been playing before… this was called KillSwitch . The game Killswitch , not to be confused with the creepypasta of the same name, was a controversial CR survival horror game that was released the year before. You play as yourself, but you were kidnapped by this mad doctor who does ...

LOADED [/color][/size][/url] TIP: Remember your reputation. Some students may be wary of you on premise, while others may be more trusting. [hr] A second later, Winter appeared behind Xtra. The previous announcement still weighed on her. Vee was indeed… gone. He appeared on the announcement, disapp...

Okay, so, maybe not the portal gun? Orrrrrr… you could be clever and find a way to get a portal to Vee. But now that Winter was calming down some, she could think a little more. What Vee was likely experiencing was an out-of-bounds glitch. It depends on whether it was accounted for in programming th...

No. He can’t be deleted, he just… can’t. Winter’s hands kept shaking, but she stopped barking into the walkie-talkie. And then…? If he was…? He was… He couldn’t be. Maybe there was a way to rescue him still. Maybe he wasn’t replying for some reason or another, ha. Ha. “Right… portal gun.” Of course!...

“Vee, Vee? Are you there? Talk to me Vee, please!” Winter’s hands shook as she shouted into the walkie-talkie. There still wasn’t any response. She’d rollerbladed up, away from the car, towards where Vee had land, but even with her speed… she could do nothing. She was standing just behind Kenton, a ...

So! We’re all in agreement that Zeph’s head should be on a pike? And that Daniel, Ilya, and Raymond should be used as sorry examples? Winter was down for that. And, well, they were the Omega Squad. People may call them dweebs, and in a way, they were right. Winter did eat those undercooked Hot Pocke...

LOADED [/color][/size][/url] TIP: Some of the vehicles in the parking lot are functional, wink wink. [hr] Winter had admired a car on the way over, and it was only a few feet away so she could continue to admire it. She had a soft spot for old supercars. She wasn't normally a car person outside of ...

Okay, so Amy’s there, and they… have a new hideout? What happened to the anime club? Did they not appreciate Cursed Meme Hell? Maybe. At least they marked their territory. … That sounded wrong. They did not lift their legs and pee. That wasn’t even programmed in, at least to the best of her knowledg...

The walkie-talkie shook in her hand. How the FUCK [/b][/u] could they stay calm like this? They just watched their bodies get wheeled into the hospital like a lineup for a grand buffet, and they they watched one of their classmates get pummelled into a pulp. Just… how, Vee. How are they gonna be cal...

Winter wanted to say something. She knew what other schools looked like. Even the other ones in the school district. They had minigames, and schedules adjusted to account for sleep cycles, and individualized lessons, and did more with the tech. And meanwhile, Winter had to play the game of ‘am I abo...
