Leaving Alola
Skye approached her front door after taking another hour-long ferry ride back home. She sighed, quickly getting the door open and entering. No one was in the living room. Her parents were likely in theirs. Skye washed her hands and face in the restroom...
A Night Gone South
At 9:30 p.m., Julie was in her outfit and boots for tonight, looking her appearance over in the restroom mirror. Midnight had water and a berry bowl, which was enough to last him for the time she'd be gone. She had a salad earlier and was still full...
Pronounced Dead
Ray had just left the restaurant with Crystal and felt more satisfied than he had in a long time. "Full, sweetheart?" She'd eaten more swinub than he expected, but she deserved it after months of PokéChow and berries she had to detest by now. Crystal...
Ease & Bonding
Julie rubbed her face with a damp washcloth over the restroom sink early the next morning, finishing her routine. She wore socks, pajama pants, and a tee. She hung the cloth up to dry and grabbed her antis, opening the bottle and shaking a pill into...
How She Feels
Brooke opened her eyes. She must have fallen asleep after that session, as had Vix. He was still on top of her with his upper body splayed over her hip. She grabbed her phone to check the time and took a relieved breath after seeing she still had two...
Dismal Days
Midnight opened his eyes to the faintest hint of daylight present in the sky as dawn approached. It was populated partly with thick leaden clouds over a grayish-blue backdrop. Silhouettes of steep mountains sat hundreds of miles out, and wingull dotted...
Clearing Thoughts
Brooke opened her eyes as it turned evening. She must have fallen asleep shortly after lying in bed hours ago, which wasn't surprising after the Vix incident. She yawned and sat up. She heard her cell phone vibrate in her pocket; when she pulled it...
Siren
"Ughn!" Ray was woken abruptly by a dull and blunt pain radiating in his stomach. He sat up quickly and saw a figure standing over the bed while glowering at him with a rifle. They wore a tan outfit, but Ray couldn't make out their face. It was a...
Only Crystal
Ray heard nonstop gunfire while he and Crystal were escorted out of the room and was sick, knowing Jenna and Bizzy's death were among it. He didn't know how to feel-- enraged, sad, alone as he has been. It resembled an out-of-body experience, and he...
Almost A Sitter
Brooke was nearly halfway through with the next day’s shift, and if her mind wasn’t multitasking work and Wizzitailz yesterday, it certainly was all day today. She was honestly impressed she hadn’t mistaken someone’s order yet on top of this morning...
Under Attack
Jenna woke up to the sound of multiple gunshots. She'd gotten less than five hours of sleep, and the sun was out, but it was better than getting none. She sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes, seeing that Bizzy was awake. "You heard it...
Warmth in Reunion
The cruise dragged when it did and didn't when it didn't, from good meals and sunlight to boredom and water-watching. Julie and Midnight felt better when they left the room at least once every two days. They'd run into Jamie and Aria individually twice...
