[You probably cannot see anything outside - but if you could, you might catch a silhouette of a mine riding away into the darkness on a camel. This was probably a stupid idea, but so was running into the Arabian desert with nothing but a pair of sandals. He had found himself unable to stay any longer. He could not face the torment while hiding away ( Read more... )

[The solace had gone.]

Do you know somewhere he can be free?

[His eyes shoot open against the haunting lullaby. Against her voice in the shadows.]

Nnnne... no, please...

[Across the room, Moses sees his brother sleeping peacefully.]

You are our brother.

[The darkness extends her hand, wrapping her fingers around his wrists and dragging him to the floor ( Read more... )

[Moses had walked to Lottie's room, pacing up and down the hall with a note folded up in his hand. He didn't mean for anyone else to get involved - let alone his brother - but couldn't take her hating and resenting him anymore. He was the humiliated one, yes. But he shouldn't have said anything in the first place.

He slipped the piece of paper ( Read more... )

[The Joe West common room is a dark and depressing place for a certain Abrahamic prophet. No ammount of robes he had brought from Midian could possibly keep him warm. He had carried a blanket upon layers and layers of fabric into the room with a single lit candle held close to a small piece of paper.

He sits at the couch, furrowing his brow as he  ( Read more... )

Is - is this working?

[You may see Moses, more distressed than usual, staring into the monitor. He had never used this device before, but spent hours trying to make it work correctly.]

Excuse me. But I am looking for Tzipporah. She never... she was never really close with anyone here.

[He averts his eyes from the screen.]

Not even me.

I came by her ( Read more... )

[If you happen to be outside in the middle of the night, you might find Moses running through campus. He had been wearing Midianite robes while taking a stroll, but became overwhelmed with a sudden need to let loose his energy and dropped the heavy clothing behind a bush. He was quite comfortable wandering the campus without a shirt. But he wasn't ( Read more... )

[The nightmares have returned.]

P-please... please, Rameses...

[Moses had been reading for his Ancient History class in the Joe West lounge when, while reading about Egypt, he fell asleep. Perhaps it was homesickness, or maybe guilt.

He begins to squirm against the couch.]

Help...help me...

[Louder, and louder, he begs. His body curls up and he buries ( Read more... )

 [Cue Moses in the Joe West kitchen.

He hasn't slept in a while, and has been avoiding going outside. He only enjoys nature in its most beautiful state - 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Susceptible to homesickness, and craving something a little less bland than what the cafeteria offers, he opens the 'ice machine' and searches for something.]

Beef? Lamb?

[ ( Read more... )

[Yeah, like Moses is actually going to study for his classes now that they're in session. Nah, he's found his way onto the roof to relax away from all the noise. He heard something about kissing in his building. But he's not one for gossip.

His eyes trail through the constellations above. Everything's so peaceful and delicate. The stars know ( Read more... )

 [Don't mind Moses as he races out of his dorm room as soon as he spots the window (after sleeping for 14 hours straight).
It's clear. No more nightmares. No more locked doors.

FREE AT LAST.

He dodges professors and students alike trying to get to the door. As soon as his hand reaches the knob, a student comes bursting into the building from the ( Read more... )
