Moth walked up, still hugging himself.

"Um, little...girl. The Grit...creatures, things from your nightmares, are coming through the damn Wall while we're standing around in the dark and not getting the nine hells out of here like we should have done an hour ago! And, and, and...the entire damn city is a damn statue garden and half a damn eclipse is hanging there, just hanging there out of nowhere and I've been thrown into a damn broken trolley and pushed through a filthy damn maintenance shaft into the damn Wall which is being torn apart as we speak and and I'm being haunted by my own damn self with damn glowing damn pink damn eyes and, and..."

Moth paused. If his voice cracked any more he'd never be able to put it back together. His breathing slowed, shaking. He felt himself teetering on the edge of a giant chasm and he felt like there was no way to keep his feet on solid ground.

"Um. I'm R...um, people call me Moth."

Moth looked down at his neat little brown saddle shoes as he shuddered and tried not to cry.

Maria folded her arms and pouted. "I'm not that little!" Of course, her current actions weren't helping her case very much; if anything, she looked even younger. Her expression softened as Moth continued raving, and at the end she giggled slightly. She immediately felt bad for doing so; he did have a point about everything, obscured as it was by sheer fear. "You sure seem to like saying 'damn' a lot, huh?" She dug around in her jacket again, talking as she did, softly and kindly.

"Look, I know everything seems really bad right now. And maybe they are. But maybe we can make things better, you know? Maybe we can beat back the Grit, take back Periphery, and make everything like how it used to be. And I know it seems kinda impossible right now, that we few could do something like that. But all dreams seem impossible at first. We just need to act on them, and everything will fall into place. And then we'll look back, at when our dream seemed impossible, and go 'Hey, that wasn't so hard.'" She pulled out a small chocolate cream with a white filling and pressed it into Moth's hand with an earnest smile; it looked like she really did believe things would get better. "Here, eat this chocolate. You'll feel better."

Speaking of Moth, guess who's getting a whole post just so Maria can respond to him? Also, guess who Maria's going to try and make feel better next?

I swear I didn't make Maria with "sugar-coated therapist" in mind, but it looks like that's what's gonna happen anyway. =P

EDIT: And a post has been made! Probably my shortest one here to date, but if it makes you tear up when you're writing it, it's either a damn good post or you're really tired and need to go to bed already. I'm not discounting the latter yet.

Also I'd like to request that the music I linked be added to the playlist, if you don't mind.

Moonfiend

I've finally posted! It's a miracle! =P

Maria had been standing nearby, rather shocked. She hadn't really been thinking earlier in the trolley, and was now gradually taking in the events of the past few minutes. It looked like some of the survivors were questioning a robot about returning to the surface, while another duo went to loot the place they had holed up in, which looked like a sort of hospital for the wall-workers. Maria had mostly sat silently against the wall near the door while all this was going on, idly wondering how they were going to get out of this.

BOOM

Maria gave a short, high-pitched scream and leapt up from the wall, scrambling towards the other side of the room. After she realized that the boom was coming from far below them, rather than right behind her, she calmed down - though she still jumped a bit when the second one sounded. The pair who were interrogating the robot seemed to have hit on some sort of plan, and it seemed like they would be leaving soon. The woman's face, which was facing the robot, and by extension Maria, seemed drawn and worried. Maria promptly began digging around in her jacket pockets. Hmm... Butterscotch? No. Caramel? ...Maybe. Oh, a rum ball! She does seem like the kind of person who'd enjoy a bit of alcohol. Holding the rum ball, Maria walked over and tapped Kat on the shoulder. "Excuse me, miss? I noticed that you looked a bit worried, so I got this for you. It's a rum ball. I've always thought that candy helps people relax a bit, so I wanted to give you some." Maria paused, looking a bit worried herself. "...If you don't mind me asking, what are you so worried about?"

Mirror, Fox, Key: Chapter Two Now Recruiting

>mfw i forgot

Unfortunately, my writer's block has flared up again due to our air conditioning being off for some godforsaken reason (though I'm composing a post for Moonfiend as I type), but I ought to have a sheet up sometime in the next few days (hopefully tomorrow).

As Ignia exited the simulation booth, Camryn practically leapt inside. She clambered onto the Duel Runner and practically shoved her head into the helmet, barely giving the course time to load before she started revving the Runner. This is gonna be so awesome! I bet I could finish the simulation in record time! Her train of thought continued in that direction as she continued to absentmindedly rev the engine, but she was snapped out of it by the sound of the timer beginning its countdown. She braced herself as the timer counted down from 3...

2...

1...

And she was off! The first part of the track was a long straightaway with a bunch of small oil slicks scattered in a random pattern along it. Camryn was able to go around most of them, but ended up clipping the last one, which made her slam into a wall and forced a restart. Okay, so maybe I won't finish in record time. But I can still finish! I just have to be a bit more careful. The second time around, she managed to evade the oil puddles, but when she saw the second obstacle, her face fell.

It was a short ramp with a long drop, and Camryn didn't have enough speed to get across the gap at the rate she was going. She floored the accelerator and tried not to scream at the sudden huge burst of speed. She barely managed to clear the ramp, but drove directly into a cleverly-placed boulder, costing her another try. She grit her teeth and resolved to not hit the boulder next time.

Fortunately, the boulder was easy to avoid if you knew it was there, so it was bypassed easily. The next part of the track looked to be a series of tight, zigzagging turns, so Camryn promptly slowed way down and took her time with the obstacle. That was where she went wrong.

Camryn ended up slowing down so much that after the first few turns, her Duel Runner was going so slowly that it couldn't keep itself upright, and, very slowly, tipped over with her on it, which resulted in the simulation ending, as she had run out of lives.

Camryn sighed. Well, that was embarrassing. Hopefully Mr. Cellrate is the only one who saw it... She exited the simulator room and went to sit down somewhere, hoping that nobody would notice her embarrassment.

In other News FTL is one of the best games I have played XD

@1Charak2

Now feels like a good time to mention that the Deepspace monsters are based on various Type A ships from FTL. See if you can guess which one is which. ;)

Yoooo, @Tojin, Waiting on a post from you. Don't want to wait too long, so I'll move on without ye tomorrow unless you give me a reason not to.

@Ammokkx

Sorry man, I've just had a bad case of writer's block for a bit. I think i'm over it now though, so I'll see if I can get a post out today.

Mark of the Demons - A World Turned to Hell

I'm still interested as well, just a bit backed up at the moment. I'll get around to finishing my sheet soon, I swear!

The Dresden Files: Eagle Rock Blues

Oh yeah, sorry. Fixed that.
