There Are No Heroes

I'm sorry to say that I don't really have the motivation to continue this. With the class load, I was trying to push through, but some personal issues have come up as well. I know the fewer of us there are, the more important each character is, though, so I'm fine with Piper being taken over or replaced. I'm sorry again, but I've had fun with this RP

There Are No Heroes

Piper remained still as she listened, watching him play with his sunglasses. It seemed like he was going to deal with...this whether or not he had help. But there was no doubt that help would be preferred. She crossed her arms again, watching him replace the glasses on his nose but not before getting a glimpse of his heavy gaze. She wanted to reaffirm that, yes, she was in. She was ready to help--she wanted to do something. But her eyebrows furrowed together as she stopped herself. What could she even do? She wasn't big or scary like Chris. She didn't have a gun or the experience Carver seemed to--whatever kind of experience that might be. So she remained silent.

On top of that, there was a sense of ambiguity. Carver wasn't telling them everything, but he wanted both of them here, otherwise he wouldn't have sought Chris out and would have left Piper at the garage. "We sound crazy? You're the one who came to us," she grumbled, but she couldn't really deny it. Talk of vampires had already been thrown around, and now she was willing to jump in on Carver's plot to "curb" the amount of bad people in the world. So she sighed, bringing a hand up to rub at her neck. The day had went from zero to sixty real fast.

I should be able to post tonight! Most of my posting will probably be between 10pm and 6am EST during the week, and who knows when during the weekends.

Thanks! :D I did

Piper scowled at Chris as he spoke. Everything he said and did and the way he did all of it annoyed her the more time she spent around him. So she was happy to give Carver her attention instead as he spoke. Both men were intense: the aura of irritation that surrounded Chris was palpable and Carver radiated ominousness. The vagueness of his words only added to that, and Piper's brows furrowed together as she continued to watch the two men. Carver seemed intent on pulling Chris even further into this investigation, and she realized she was pretty much already there. Her scowl remained but she watched Carver now, curious.

Her eyes followed as he picked up the picture, to which she shifted uncomfortably and they dropped. And then he posed the question: what did she intend to do? She drew in a breath, fingers raising to play with the zipper of her plain jumpsuit. There was a lot of places she was hoping this whole thing would take her: which vampire turned her mother, which slayer staked her, are either alive, would she want to let them live? The questions she had her whole life suddenly seemed solvable if she put in the effort. But what would that be? How could she vocalize it?

"Well we can't let this...keep happening," she said, insistent on keeping her most personal motivations to herself. "I want to stop it. Whatever 'it' is." How she or they would seemed like another question to tackle, and the thought had her narrowing her gaze at Carver. "What are you going to do? What's your plan in all this?"

I am back from vacation! I'll post ASAP.

There Are No Heroes

Sorry for not posting! I should've tagged you, but I mentioned that I was going out of town for a week. I'll work on a post tonight once I get the energy back.

There Are No Heroes

I don't mind the slow! I have a lot of other RPs AND a lot of school work and work work to keep up with, aha. I am definitely still invested in the RP, and you're doing a great job GMing.

ALSO, as a heads up: I'll be leaving for vacation Friday morning (it's Tuesday evening for me now), so I won't be around to post for a week. If you want, I don't mind if Piper is set to autopilot for that week so the RP can keep going.

Piper shifted as she watched the pen move over the notepad. She would occasionally glance up at him or to Chris, waiting for something new to be done or said. Then Carver looked to the two and she tensed further, scowling at the intrusive gaze. Everything the man said and did seemed to carry weight and she continued to feel like she was missing something. Even at his comment, she found herself at a loss for words: vampires, dead vampires--none of it rang of rationality, he was right.

Carver spoke again, and her eyes naturally followed the movement of his hands. She had a few questions, but Chris had a complaint. It eased her tension, oddly, and she frowned at him as the two men exchanged words. Schedules to keep? she thought. "Are you that bored? Really?" she asked. She was incredulous to his apparent apathy when she had finally been torn out of hers--they were on a path to vampires of all things, and who knew what else.

"Whatever--who do you need to talk to?" she asked, eyes back on Carver. "Is it Cutter?"

Yes! I'll work on a post right now. My Fridays are swamped, but it's finally the weekend.
