The Hum

Virgis Finn

Echo moaned as her alarm went off. she rolled to the other side of her bed, hitting the snooze button she rested her head on the pillow and fell asleep again. she picked up her alarm and tossed it against the wall, sighing as she sat up in her bed. she winced as she set her feet on the cold cement floor, she looked for her slippers, seeing them halfway across the room she sighed, taking her time as she walked to her alarm clock, shutting it off she walked to her slippers. slipping them on as she stopped at them, she turned back to her bed side table, walking toward it she stopped at her closet, pulling out a black leather vest and black shirt with the words in red "rebel girl". she tossed them on her bed, going to her closet for a pair of black skinny jeans, she paused seeing her moms necklace. she pulled out her moms necklace, unclasping the chain she put it on, clasping it again. she looked at herself in the mirror, wiping away tears she took it off. tossing the cloths on the bed she set the necklace down with them. heading towards her bathroom that was connected to her room, she took a shower, pretending she was crying and it was only the water from the shower. she stepped out and brushed her teeth, she walked out of the bathroom after she dried off, putting on her cloths for the day. she hesitated before she put on her necklace.

she put on her black converses, walking up stairs to the kitchen, she grabbed a granola bar. looking at herself in the mirror, she cringed as she saw a ugly girl with pale skin and blue eyes, and black hair. she walked out the door, face palming herself as she walked back to get her keys and school bag. in her school bag she had her phone and a book, her school books that she never opened before and lastly her tablet. her tablet had all of her books that she needed if she finished her page book. she walked back to the door leading to the garage, she opened seeing her black motercycle. people said black was a phase for her, but it was her now, she had nothing to give anyone else, her moms death took it all away.

she rode to school, stopping on her bike as she reached school. she took a breath before walking in, she went to her locker, putting in her combination, she put her school books in, slamming her locker as she turned. she looked down and walked into her first class, going through her day. the teachers never cared to yell at her, it was useless she never listened to them, she read through her classes. stopping as she realized every one disappeared. she sighed, thankful no-one could stare at her like she was a freak. she walked to a classroom, entering it she froze as she saw a guy, she stared at him, turning away she walked out of the room, running down the hallway.

Nathan McAvanui



The alarm clock woke Nathan. A tired groan could be heard from behind blonde tousled hair on the pillow. An arm came hurtling towards the clock and his hand fiddled until he found the 'off' button. Straight backed like a mummy he sat up and all the cells in his brain uploaded while he gazed around his room. It was a fairly bright room containing only what needed, plus some posters. Getting up he stepped on the history book he'd read the night before. Not wanting to forget it he threw it on his back pack before heading out to the kitchen in the one floor house. It was too silent for Nathan so he turned on the radio before opening the fridge to chunk down the last apple juice. He looked around the empty and dead apartment thinking his father in another state and his mother either in someone else's bed or drunk in her own. He was comforted as a catchy pop song started playing on the radio. He sighed while slamming the fridge shut.

All prepped and ready for school he left his worries in the house. Seeing the school building in the distance he smiled and looked forward seeing people; friend or foe. Somehow everyone made to entertain him, and forget about his life at home. He wore skating shoes matching his jeans in style, and even though he owned nice garments, he sometimes put on the worn ones: this time a comfy dark beige sweater. The static fabric somehow made him feel better.

Getting through the day there had been people acting weird all of a sudden and he'd pull them out of it with a joke. Some he'd have to poke or push to get them back to earth. He wouldn't admit he'd felt it too.

In one of the last classes, he leaned uneasily on his elbow until it happened; the class room he'd seen as normal seconds ago looked like a project from the prehistorical time.

The terribly strong vertigo and the sudden darkness had made Nathan jump up from his chair. After stumbling on a branch he called out to the few who mysteriously hadn't disappeared as everyone else seemed to have done, "What the fuck just happened? If this is some technology the school has been keeping from us, it's not cool!" the skeleton by the desk got his full attention and he froze staring at it.

Dominique Scott
-----------------------------------------------------------

"D, come on, you gotta get up, breakfast is ready" came the call from Dominique's father at the end of the hall of their two-bed flat but alas did he know that his daughter was already way past awake, and was only just now sneaking back into the home from her bedroom window. The apartment complex was layered, so fortunately for Dominique she was able to safely climb out of her window with her guitar and walk across the roof of the apartment below - she wouldn't go far from home, but in the early morning Dominique would like to get up and go to her favorite spot under the oak tree in the park on one bench in particular and strum a soft melody to whoever passed by. D found her small adventures in the hours just before sunrise relaxing, and she believed it would help her stay relaxed throughout the entire day, so every other day she would sneak out at just half past four in the morning and return at half seven, just in time for her father's delicious bacon, eggs and sausage breakfast.

Once placing her guitar down safely and closing the latch on the window, Dominique made her way to the kitchen, "Yeah dad, I'm comin'" she called, closing her bedroom door behind her and fluffing up her hair with her hands to make it seem as though she had just woken up. The intoxicating smell of cooked meat and juicy egg yolk filled Dominique's nostrils and she gave a big sigh of joy - she hadn't eaten anything but the odd snack since she had woken up three hours ago, "Mmm, that smells so good". When the plate which bore D's breakfast was placed on the kitchen counter, she didn't hesitate to quickly scoop it up, take some cutlery and sit at the dining table to begin wolfing down the scrumptious meal.

After eating, showering and preparing her outfit for school, Dominique scooped up her guitar again, pulled the strap across her chest and then left her room once more, closing and this time locking the door behind her. Her father was pulling on his work coat as Dominique headed for the front door, "Off to school D? See you later then." her father chimed, presenting the large, forever pleasing smile he had always given Dominique when he spoke to her - even before he was taken away. Dominique smiled back, leant over to kiss her father on the cheek and then left out the front door, beginning her short walk to school with her bag and guitar in tow.

Eventually arriving at the school, Dominique felt a terrible and sadly recognizable feeling wash over her. Something was wrong. Dominique looked around the area, perhaps she thought somebody was plotting to steal her guitar, or maybe she was about to witness a terrible crash. Dominique watched and waited until the bell rang and she was forced to keep moving toward the school and into the main building to attend her first lesson. Throughout first and second period, the feeling remained, but toward third and fourth the feeling seemed to vanish from D's mind completely and she was free to feel a little less tense again. But the feel of un-ease leaving her was only a signal for the next, and worse, feeling to hit - vertigo. Dominique tried to keep her hands flat on her desk to keep her stable as she blinked away the dizziness, having to take a few deep breaths to speed along the process of re-gathering her bearings. But once she fully came too, Dominique noticed a change; the classroom looked old and crumbled, as if she had stumbled into an abandon building and the air was eerie and quite - except for her classmates, who she saw in the room around her, one boy in particular seemed startled and began shouting about a practical joke. Dominique stood and looked around some more until her eyes met the chalked words at the front of the class. 'You are not alone' the words stood out amongst the dirt and rubble of the classroom, "Well this is weird.." D said, taking a few steps away from her desk as she began to walk around the classroom, inspecting the situation more.

Kate awoke to her puppy licking her face, while her alarm went off. She moaned and leaned towards the alarm clock hitting the snooze button. Another boring day? Kate rubbed her eye's and patted Rusty on the head picking him and moved him to the side. She sat up and stretched her arms. Adding a yawn to the end of it. "Kate? You up?" She heard calling from outside her door. She got up and went to her closet. "Yes...I'm coming.. Kate called as she searched her closet for her favorite shirt. She pulled out a white shirt with the words I am a fighter Printed on the front in a fancy font. She pulled a black coat that matched the shirt on over it, while fitting into her light blue skinny jeans. Kate scratched her head and went to her mirror slipping her contacts in and bushing her hair. She put it in a messy bun Kate didn't feel like styling today.

She made her way out of her room, throwing her backpack over her shoulder. Kate lugged herself down the stairs and turned towards the kitchen. "Morning Dad.. She said while placing her backpack on the chair. Kate grabbed a piece of toast as she took a bite "Mom up? She asked pulling open the fridge door. Kate pulled out the milk ad set it on the table "She left early. She'll be home a little early today." Her dad told her as he poured his cup of coffee. Kate shrugged it off and pulled the chair out from under the table and took a seat. She finished her toast and pulled the cereal that was already poured out and ready to go closer to her. Kate looked at the TV, news was on. Not the most interesting show to watch in the morning but she didn't mind. Within a few minutes Kate realized what time it was. She took the bowl and spoon and placed it in the sink. "I'm gonna be late, i gotta go. She told her dad as she grabbed her book bag, which had her iPhone in the front pocket. She hugged her dad goodbye and headed out the door.

Kate made her way down the street in a bit of a rush, she slowed down once she got closer to the school. She didn't live that far from the school maybe a few minutes. She got through the doors and headed straight for her locker. Kate opened it and took out books for the first three classes. She closed her locker and looked at the time, two minutes left to get to class. "I can make it... She told herself, heading in the classrooms direction. Kate walked up the two flights of stairs and made a right, entering the class room just as the bell rang. She signed and went to her sit. It was odd the first three classes seemed to take forever to get done with. Usually for Kate they go faster, but something felt off about today. she couldn't put her finger on it but she just knew. Kate tried to push the thought away, not wanting to make or cause some stress in her already busy life.

At the end of third period, Kate went to her locker putting away the binders and folders she no longer needed. As she picked up fourth through sixth, an odd chill went down her spine. Kate found it odd, there was no breeze. She realized the group of kids rushing around, she figured she mind as well hurry to her next class get the day over with and all the paranoia might go away. Kate walked in class; social studies. "Urg.. She whispered to herself, she hated this period she never found this class interested. It was odd as she sat down in her sit, the lights went out. Th- she started but the lights flickered back on. Kate fell off her seat and landed on the floor, she rubbed her head as she looked up at the board. "You are alone What did that mean? She looked around the room only seeing half the class. Where'd everyone go? As she lifted herself from the ground and leaned on the desk she saw a skeleton laying by the desk.. She froze and stared at it.

Terran woke up to the sound of a door slamming shut. His father must be drunk or just got home pissed at someone. He peered at the clock next to him twenty minutes before he was usually wanted to wake up. "Damn..." He groaned and fell back on his pillows. He starred up at the ceiling and took a few moment in the cloud like pillows and blankets. He rose and sat at the edge of his bed and stretched. Grabbing his shoes he slipped them on. Terran got up and headed to the closet and pulled out the first shirt he saw, a blue tank top with some buttons near the top. He had another grey tank top on underneath his blue one. His pants were black skinny jeans with Nike shoes. Terran walked over to his mirror and fixed his hair making it become sorta spiky but not much.

Terran headed to the bathroom and went washed his face off. He brushed his teeth and headed to the kitchen. He grabbed his back pack off the chair and threw it over his shoulder. He grabbed the coffee cup and poured himself some in a mug. He put in some sugar and milk and headed out the door. Sure he was early but he usually was late, he figured being at school a few minutes early wouldn't hurt some. The air was a bit cold but he didn't mind, he liked it. He watched cars drive by slowly down his street, the headlights blinded him a bit as they drove by. He took a sip of his coffee and continued down the street, he usually didn't want to go to school or leave so early but today he didn't mind. Terran obviously didn't want to be there with his dad drunk or pissed, or both.

Once he got to the school he pushed the door open. It was slightly warmer in there. Terran headed towards his locker and opened it, he threw his books from tenth in there and pulled out first through third. Terran made his way to his home room and sat down in his seat waiting for the bell to ring, as it did a pile of students came into the class room. They listened to morning announcements and he headed straight for his class he didn't need to stop. Once at the first period class room he noticed as the first three periods flew by. He didn't mind he just thought that was a bit odd.

As he got out of third period hi coffee was done and he stopped at his locker to put it in there and retrieve some books for the next couple classes. He opened his locker and shoved his books in and took some out. As he closed his locker a chill went up his spine. "Odd.." He said to himself, he looked around for an open window or fan. Nothing. Terran began to head to his next class. Social Studies He walked in the class seeing people he hated and some that were okay. He didn't mind social studies for today, he usually hated it. As Terran headed to his sit the lights went out and he kept walking, he didn't care. If the electric went out then maybe they could go home. He sat down as the lights came back on, but than something pushed him off the chair and he hit the hard floor. Dammit...The hell is going on? He asked looking around seeing as most of the students but six were gone.

"What the fuck?! Is this some kind of bad prank the teachers put on us? It's not funny." Nathan called out uneasily while looking around for someone to call off the prank, or explain this bizarre happening. Giving the board and the skeleton another look he muttered "They've finally gone mental."

Kate took a step back from where she'd been standing. The hell was a skeleton doing here? This isn't health class or biology. Than it came to her, could that really be the teachers body? She put her hand to her head, all of a sudden her stomach turned and she felt uneasy. Kate grabbed a hold of the desk as she heard Nathan go on about a prank. "If this is a prank, i don't like it. The hell we do to deserve this?" Kate's not one to curse but it slipped out this time she was just so over whelmed about everything. She steadied herself as her stomach stopped feeling as though chunks of who knows what would come spitting out of her mouth. She took a deep breath and stood up straight looking at everyone in the room. At least some students in here she can stand to be in this with, other are questionable.

Kate snatched her back pack up and plopped it on the desk. Searching through her book bag for her cell phone. She turned it on, her eye's burned from the sudden brightness of the screen. She looked at the signal and there was none. Slamming her phone shut and stuffing it in her bag, Kate calmed herself there's no need for anyone to get to worked up about everything in the beginning. They'll get through this and then she'll flip about it all. Kate looked to her left "No signal on my cell phone.. she said to whom ever was listening.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Dominique Scott
-----------------------------------------------------------

Dominique followed curiously behind the few of her classmates who peered at the skeleton, she too looked at it with concern, "If this is a prank, it's a very elborate one.." Dominique said outloud to the rest of the class, "But that's not what matters now. Is everyone ok?" she asked, looking around to examine everyone for any broken bones or bleeding; the classroom was cracked, and D feared it could fall at any moment, "Perhaps we should go outside.." she would suggest, looking to everyone for confirmation. She didn't particularily feel the leaderly type, but so far the others hadn't suggested anything - they were all still probably in shock - so D took the lead for now and thought taking everyone out of the seemingly death-trap of what once was their school would be a step in the right direction.


[OOC= SHort post bc I'm sleepy. Also I won't be posting again until tomorrow]

she sat down, leaning against a wall. she looked at a book she was recently reading. she stood up slowly, walking back to the classroom where she saw the boy. she opened the door, and looked around. seeing a teachers body and a disturbing message on the board she stopped. walking over to a desk she sat down, looking down as she nearly tripped on her own feet. she looked at the teacher before turning away, she felt like she was going to puke. she nodded her head at the suggestion of going outside, she swallowed rising vile, standing up using the desk for support.

Virgis Finn

[center] Virgis slowly gets up, not hearing most of the other people's comments. It's all a blur. Their teacher is... Their teacher is... Is what? Dead, that part is obvious, but how exactly? He can tell that it isn't the same time as when they started their day. The walls... The floors... Virgis just sits down. The vertigo feeling... That's what it was! They were all... Someone or something chose them! Or maybe it was just fate... They was a reason they were alive, which meant they would have accomplish a task no one else could. Or, this is just some really fucked up shit.

Virgis puts his hands on his desk and pushes himself up. He looks at his best friends Kate and Nathan. At least his good friends were in this class. He walks over to Nathan. Some people didn't like Nathan because he was gay, but Virgis was fine with it, and didn't care if people judged him for being friends with Nathan. Virgis was also friends with Kate who was nerdy. Also, since he did theatre... Virgis could be judged by a lot of people, but he was fine with it. He had good friends, and he wasn't uncomfortable if they were gay or nerdy. It didn't really matter anymore.

In answer to everyone, Virgis says, "It's not a prank guys. I think... That we... Well I don't know! But I can't think of any way this could be a prank or have been done by people as a joke... I think the whole world is gone. I mean, listen. Just listen. there is no sound. None at all. That means every single thing, plumbing, air conditioning, people, planes, everything is not around us right now. If that's a prank, well, screw the world. We live in the suburbs. If everyone is gone, there are plenty of shopping centers and around those, farms and crap, and cities nearby. I think Dominque is right. We should go out."

Virgis stumbles over a walk and leans on Nathan for a second. Virgis walks backwards letting out a small sorry. He is a bit wobbly. It's still all sinking in.

Nathan had at first been glad Virgis and D seemed to have gotten ahead of them in the matter and he agreed upon getting outside, but at the mention of everything gone, that was when he got really frightened, he then frowned at actually how much thought Virgis had put to it. "What? Everything gone? Do you mean everyone else but us has burned to ashes like-" He grimaced in disgust at the front of the classroom and shook it off, unconsciously taking a step back, "No, there's gotta be others. There can't be just the six of us- woa," Virgis had stumbled and used him for support. Caring for his friend he made sure to keep an eye on him "You ok there, Shakespeare?"

-----------------------------------------------------------
Dominique Scott
-----------------------------------------------------------

After everyone had agreed, Dominique took a deep breath and the plasterd a big grin across her face, hoping her positivity would calm the nerves of the others, "Come on then, let's get to exploring" she cooed, bringing her arms up as she began to march out of the classroom door, mimicing a soilder as her guitar bounced around in her back with each large strid she took. After each few steps, Dominique would check over her shoulder to see if the others had managed to follow her safely, and once she was satisfied that they had all managed she would began marching again, chanting "Left, right, left!" to try and lighten the mood, hoping that she wasn't the only one who wasn't thinking this was all doom and gloom.

Eventually, as D and her classmates made it outside of their school, Dominique stopped her marching and chanting and looked around; the area was overgrown and the rodes and pavements were cracked and in some places chunks were missing. It looked even worse out here than it did inside the school. For a moment Dominique wondered if taking everybody outside was the best idea, but then she realised at least out here they'd be able to avoid immediate danger, it wasn't as if the sky was going to fall down on them anytime soon. So Dominique kept her cheery smile and turned once again to check on the group, "Everyone alright? Any injuries? A bit of fresh air should do us good" D looked to each person in turn, checking their facial expressions; none of them seemed too happy about the situation. Dominique gave an internal sigh, it can't be that bad out here, can it?

---

Kate looked over at a cheery Dominique, she thought to herself how can anyone be so cheery in a situation like this? Though maybe some happiness is what everyone would need. She smiled a bit at her enthusiasm. When D mentioned going outside Kate thought it wasn't such a bad idea. Could it really be worse outside than in this broken messed up school..? As she lead them out of the room she was mimicking a soldier which Kate thought was pretty funny. As they roamed the halls she looked around at everything. Tiles missing, gaping holes. Just everything messed up and what not. It's weird, the day started out normal, but now that she thinks about it everything that happened before the event caused her paranoia and it all just off. As they exited the school she was shocked. Kate looked around the ruined town, it was all a mess.


She stood in the grassy side yard, staring at everything. Once she realized her mouth was hanging wide open she closed it and glared over at D. She was smiling Kate figured she was only trying to have everyone in a good mood to forget he harsh reality they now live in. Kate gave her a smile, she knew she was only trying to lighten every ones mood up. Kate understood why she was so cheery, heck it couldn't hurt not to be so glum about all of this..who knows maybe its good thing? Eh, probably not. "A bit of freash air will do us all good. D is right." Kate paused and looked at everyone. than back at D. "I'm alright, no injurys..Thanks for the concern." Kate shot her a smile and looked behind them at their school. Pretty beat up....But how?

---

Terran watched as everyone was beginning to pile out of the class room. He shrugged and followed them from the back, hell it had to be better than sitting in a ruined class room. He had to admit it was pretty freaky at what just happened, how did it even happen. As he peered pas everyone looking at whom ever was leading. Terran saw she was mimicking a soldier, he shook his head. He didn't care for comedic people. Even now it didn't make him laugh or something. He was glad his friend Echo was in the class though, gave him someone to talk to that he actually liked. He didn't hate everyone else he just didn't like their company as much as echo's. But hey what are you going to do, as he made is way out of the class room door he say the halls ways were just as the classroom was. Messed up bad, he hoped outside was better. Who knew what was waiting for them out there.

As they exited the school, it wasn't as bright as he thought it would be. He looked around outside seeing it to be worse than inside the school. They all huddled on the grass outside, sure it was bad but he preferred to be in the school rather than outside. The air might not be to good to be breathing in. He stepped forward after seeing D, give her motivation speech, for everyone to get happy. "Anyone know how the hell this happened?" He asked turning to everyone. He didn't know "One second were in class and Doom The next second it all like this..." He said placing his hands in his back jeans pocket.

Echo walked outside following Dominique. she leaned against the wall of the school, whispering to herself softly "what the hell happened back there?". she frowned, pulling out her phone to see if she had any bars, she put her phone away after seeing none. she sighed softly, putting her hands in her jacket pocket as she said "nope". she moved to the shade, clearly able to be seen due to her pale skin. she thought of her dad and how he tried to hang himself, she looked away hiding her expression from people. she muttered to herself softly "one good thing about being the last people on earth is the quietness and loniness", she forced a smile as she said to everyone "we can't be sure that we are the last people on earth".

Virgis Finn

---

Yeah, I'm fine, sorry.
Virgis walks away, wobbling out the door, into the hall, and out the school. The school is in ruins form the outside, though the surrounding area seems more... Well cracked, but more naturally like trees and stuff in buildings. The school was just straight up destroyed. Some neighbor hoods were in sight and beyond them were shopping centers and stores. Virgis thought about it all...

He had his two best friends, one of them his best friend, and three other people. They had no supplies yet. They were so far, alone in the whole world. None of them seemed like survival people, except maybe for... Well anyways... To sum it up; They were screwed.

"Well... Whether or not we are the last people on earth... We need to find some food and stuff quickly, and shelter, before it gets dark."
Virgis hears a loud creak and sees a coyote that bumped into a car, and yelped scared, which he found amusing since coyotes are wild animals, and the car is at the top of a hill next to the school, creating a valley effect around the school. They are standing in the middle of a big road at the moment. The car starts rolling down. Then it picks up speed, and suddenly that car, which he realizes is a big truck that was already facing downhill, is barreling towards them. Virgis is just frozen, and the car is dangerously close. It's like he can't move. His mind is screaming for him to jump but he's so afraid and shocked he just stands their, like he's about to jump but he doesn't know how.

"No, come on!" Nathan yells as he exits the school last of the group. As the others seemed to take the situation in more calmly than Nathan, his eyes searched the school ground and view for people, dogs, birds...he even wished there would be wasps. His pulse paced up in panic and looking around desperately for other survivors- Survivors? Survivors from what? Nathan was about to grab his head in despair and curse when he suddenly saw Virgis standing still staring at something. Seeing a huge vehicle rolling dangerously towards him he called; "Virgis, get away!" and hurried to drag him away from the road while keeping an eye on the vehicle should it make a turn.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Dominique Scott
-----------------------------------------------------------

It was almost as if she had been thrown into the future, Dominique saw it all before it happened; the noise of the coyote, followed by the bumping of the van which made it start rolling down the large hill and come hurtling toward the group. Dominique's eyes widened as she blinked away the visions and then started to quickly usher people onto the sidewalk, making sur ethey were all safe. She heard the noise again, the coyote's screech followed by the sounds of rusted metal and worn out rubber tires speeding down the hill. Dominique looked around to check everyone was safe when she saw Virgis, frozen to the spot in the middle of the road. D was about to run to him when Nathan got there first and pulled Virgis out the way. Dominique watched in forcedd silence as the vehicle swerved off of the road and crashed into a nearby home, causing bricks to crumble and fall down all around the van.

"E-everyone ok?" D asked, feeling starved of oxygen as she tried to speak, shocked by the event that just unfolded infront of all of them. The others seemed shocked too, but more so confused - how had D managed to get the out of the road in such little time? To here it seemed like minutes but in reality it had been mere seconds before they all would have colided with the van. Dominique cocked her head as the others stared, "Is there something on my face? she asked them, wondering what caused them all to look at her in such a confused way.

Virgis is yanked out of the way. He falls into Nathan, who is dragging him away. Virgis rolls in the grass around the school, which is very thick now. He gets up and dusts himself off. That was close. He notices everyone else was able to get out... He looks at Dominique. What happened... Virgis shrugs it off. They don't have time to stop and think about it.

That was close.
Wow, I sure know how to put things in perspective.
Virgis sighs, and looks at everyone.
We should get going.
Virgis walks up the road, up the hill, towards the unknown. And a whole lot more.

((sorry for the short post, I felt I needed to respond but I didn't have much time))

"Virgis," Nathan said when stepping next to him, "I think we should check on our homes. I wanna see if mom's still there." He shifted on his hip and crossed his arms while continuing with a teasing smile; "If the fridge is still working we might get a hold on some beer, soda and snack...and food of course." Turning to the others he raised his voice "We should all check our homes and see what we can find." He suggested with good confidence, though a hidden fear twitched in his expression and he unconsciously kept close to Virgis.

Echo sighed, walking over to her motorcycle, she looked to see if she had fuel still. "i guess we meet here then" she said as she put the key to start her motorcycle in the ignition. she let her thoughts go to her mom, feeling sorry for herself before she forced a fake smile on her face to hide her emotions. she knew that the sadness showed in her eyes, she took off the necklace and put it in the pockets of her skinny jeans. "i wish it was winter" she said softly, smiling faintly as she imagined all the things she could do without her father knowing he would give her some cash and celebrate with his friends instead of her. she pushed away them thoughts as she remembered her mother making her and her dad celebrate together.

(Would anyone be interested in doing a three character roleplay in this universe that would eventually meet up with these characters? Please note: This roleplay would require at least 200 word posts.)

Nathan reluctantly agreed to check on the car before arguing any further. He felt such unease, and would have grabbed Virgis like one would grab a lifebuoy when the chaotic eruption ensued had he not been frozen. In a second it seemed like days passed him; he could only see colors and lights around Virgis who was thrown about, and a color of soft black suddenly entwined in the image. He had no idea why Virgis had been glowing, but felt utterly helpless anyway. When waking up and finally able to move out of the greasy state of nothing, he saw what had he thought had been a weird vision or mind play: Dominique lay dead near a shocked Virgis. Nathan hurtled around to see where another escaped vehicle had come from; that had to be the explanation, but seeing no car he turned back again. He managed to maintain enough consciousness to decipher the noises in the bushes before the shock and the swift movements got him dizzy and the blonde boy stumbled helplessly towards the crawling Virgis and the body of Dominique before he fell to the side, world spinning in his head as he tried to reclaim balance.
"Alright, this is not...I repeat, not funny- Stop it." He demanded and didn't like the feeling of no control. These things only happened in computers and games...not in real life.



(yeah, sure. I'd like that. This was a real acid trip which I hope I responded somewhat ok to xD)
