The Shift (Reboot)

Alex was standing on the football field with his camera watching the drill team. He was assigned to snap some pictures for the school paper and was able to get some good candid shots that no one else on the school journalism staff could get. Alex had a good relationship with the band director Mr. Renfro because Alex's sister Katherine who graduated two years ago was his prized singing pupil. Not to mention that Alex was head over heels for the drum major Angela Marcotti so he was enjoying this assignment a lot.

Once he had several pictures he snapped a couple of Mr. Renfro and approached him. Mr. Renfro said, "Hey Alex nice to see you once again."

Alex replied while taking a couple more, "Great to be here. Kinda sad that this is gonna be my last time doing this."

Renfro nodded and said, "Well time marches on. I wish the trombone section marched as well. We got a game coming up Friday night and we aren't even close to ready."

Alex replied, "You'll think of something you always do."

Renfro looked over and smiled. He said, "Thanks Alex. You better get those pictures to Mrs. Becker, and tell your sister I said hi."

Alex nodded and said, "You got it." With that Alex left the field and as he walked away he transferred one picture of Angela to his cell phone. He smiled as he entered the school.

P-J looked over the note and heard Rich's offer to help. P-J looked at him and said, "Yeah those stairs look kinda tricky. I won't say no to an offer. Let's get to it,"

As P-J started to go get the luggage he said, "I grew up in a family with 10 of us in the house, so this ain't too bad. In terms of cooking Mom's a school teacher and Dad's a Police Detective, so one thing my parents made sure we knew how to was cook because we didn't always know when they'd be home. Some nights it fell to us to fix the dinner." P-J nodded and said with a note of pride," I whip a a pretty mean homemade Spaghetti Sauce. Well except for the time about 3 years ago I forgot to brown the Italian Sausage all the way through and gave just about everyone food poisoning." P-J shook his head and said the note of pride was gone, "My father threatened to throw me into jail, and with him that is never an idle threat either. Although my 3rd oldest sister had a Trig midterm the next day, so she wasn't too upset with me." He shrugged his shoulders and said, "The rest of the family well it happened in February, and it wasn't until Easter when everyone started talking to me again. Mainly because Father Moore had an Easter message about forgiveness."

When P-J heard Rich mention Springsteen that made P-J smile. He said, "Cool deal! He's my guy all the way. Seen him four times and my dad even got me his autograph. Dad was still a beat cop doing traffic one night, and he came speeding through town. Dad pulled him over and realized who it was, so my dad said for an autograph to me he'd let him off with a warning. The rest is history."

P-J grabbed one of the bags and said, "Let's get to it," With that P-J began moving to the upstairs and to the room.

Restraint (MST3K 4ever & Starling)

You advance the plot very nicely. I really like the warning to Charles about not getting his roomie involved....creates some good tension.

I don't see any major issues to deal with...good job Anne. I should have something up hopefully tomorrow sometime. Thinking possibly a solo Martin before I put the two of my characters back together.

Surviving: The End (character-centric; modern zombie survival)

As Luke went down the hall he had has baseball bat at the ready, and his flashlight on his hip. He knew that Ryan had his back in this situation, but they both had been around long enough that the minute you let your guard down that was the minute all hell broke loose. In this kind of situation all hell breaking loose usually entailed lots of shooting, explosions, a high body count, and more then likely putting people who were in your party of their misery. It was strange that when Luke would enter in area then suddenly the lights would cut on. It was kind of like that video he saw on You-Tube once called "Billie Jean" where Michael Jackson took a step suddenly a square lit up. There was a feeling of being safe and Ryan having his back, but there were on certain levels that knowing Ryan was watching him made Luke a little uncomfortable.

He approached a door that according to the map was supposed to be a weapons room. Luke cautiously opened the door and the lights began to flicker to life. As they did he waited to see if the lights would go out. Luke had if figured out in his mind that if the lights came on and then suddenly went out then that meant to stay away. The light stayed on and Luke entered the room. He was able to deduce that he was in someone's office. There were two chairs, a desk, a couch, a file cabinet, and a dead Ficus plant. Luke shook his head when he saw the plant and said, "Should've gone with a plastic one." Luke looked around more and didn't see any weapons, but then he realized that if Jeff went through the trouble of a map he wouldn't just leave them out in the open. Luke moved the couch near a ceiling tile and climbed on it. Luke moved the ceiling tile and shined his light around. He saw several strips of cloth and a box of matches. When he saw that Luke smiled and said, "I'm on to you my man. I'm on to you." Luke moved the couch and tile back into place and walked over to the desk. He opened the drawer and saw that there were a few bottles of Premium Vodka. Luke closed the drawer and smiled as he said, "You keep the Vodka here so if anyone found it all they thought was that found some Vodka. Keeping everything separate but knowing where it all is." He nodded and went back to the ceiling tile and got out a strip of cloth. Luke then went over to the desk and got out a bottle of Vodka. He then went out the door and showed to Ryan what he had found. Once he did that he put everything back and moved along.

Ryan approached a room that had been designated as a food room on the map. He cracked the door open and once the light was on solidly Luke went in. Luke looked around and it looked like a maintenance room with various chemicals and cleaning items. Luke shook his head and said, "Yeah this stuff qualifies as food if you're looking for a last supper." Once again though Luke realized that Jeff was good at hiding things in plain sight. Luke walked over to one of the chemical bottles and examined it. He noticed that the bottle was pretty clean for being in a room like this. He unscrewed the cap and took a whiff of a clear liquid. It had no odor to it and so Luke said, "Here's to you Jeff & Anna." He took a swig and realized that it was water Luke smiled and went back to the camera. He toasted the camera and took another swig. Luke went back inside the room and positioned it so he could get another tile loose. Once he got the tile loose he shined his light and found several bags of peanuts and trail mix. Luke went back out into the hall and showed them to the camera once more.

After Luke got everything back in place he got back to the control room. He sat down and popped open a bottle of water. He looked at Ryan and said, "I can say two things about Jeff. One he was very smart, and two very paranoid. Then again in our current situation paranoia is just being cautious."

The Shift (Reboot)

Okay it's somewhat short but I have replied to Rich and wrote a note to Dai....should be enough to keep things moving.

P-J was just taking in everything going on around him when Rich approached him. P-J knew Rich through his friendship with Rayne and P-J thought he was all-right, but he didn't know enough about him to classify him as a close friend. Still though all indications were that Rich was an all-right guy and Rayne had good taste in his friendships, so P-J was cool with Rich.

P-J smiled back and said, "Hey there Rich nice to see ya." P-J raised his bottle and took a swig. P-J put his bottle back down on the bar and said. "It seems like Dai wasn't exactly ready for all of this, and that Rayne invited a few more than he was supposed to. All that being said though it'll be all-right I think the key is to just take it as it comes." He took another drink and said, "I saw you brought your SG with you looking forward to hearing you during the summer. I'm a Springsteen fan when it comes to music. Seen him four times even got to be in the front row once."

P-J looked back at Dai and said to Rich, "We gotta help keep our host on an even keel. Right now the poor guy looks like he's gonna have a nervous breakdown if you look at him wrong. Can't say I blame him though the majority of people here he wouldn't know if they were wearing name-tags and had their resumes with them. Now he's playing host to them." P-J shook his head and said, "It's gonna be an interesting time until we all get used to one another. Not to mention who knows who may hook up with whom as the summer goes on."

P-J nodded and said, "Okay I think Dai could use some lightening of his load." P-J walked over to the desk grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote on it. He walked back over to the bar and motioned to Dai who was on the phone. He held up the note that read, "Is there anything I can do to help you out?"
