Perhaps it's the events the past few weeks with zombie Extras and cakes from nowhere, but Kaylee's feeling more than a bit restless. There wasn't much to repair on Serenity after the glitch, thankfully, but it has left the mechanic with little to do. Even the ranch didn't have much in the way of work for the moment, and she can only work on the ( Read more... )

Central's buildings rose around him, the weird-ass mixture of structures that didn't bother adhering to any particular time period, let alone any sort of shared geographical origin. Paul Smecker moved past high-rises that could have belonged on Wall Street but sat bizarrely next to adobe-walled haciendas and even an Old West style saloon. It was ( Read more... )

[The feed flickers on to reveal Loki sitting on a randomly chosen curb, looking a little ratty but relaxed.]

Okay. I need cartoons, chewing gum, and a shower.

[He glances down at a suspiciously zombie-crud-like stain on his tee.]

Maybe not in that order.

While he slept, all of Godric's soft edges have hardened, sharpened to fine and deadly points. Decades of dulling the blades have been undone, in hours. When he opens his eyes, they are colder, darker, and possess a hint of something playfully cruel that would make the most courageous of men hesitate and back away. Godric is awake, stripped of ( Read more... )

Godric's inhuman speed and his poor tablet have never mixed very well. It turns on in mid-air as it goes flying, landing just in time to catch the image of Godric's blur passing by a small crowd of zombies. Godric abruptly stops in a crouch next to the broadcasting tablet as the zombies fall behind him like dominoes, gore spilling from their ( Read more... )

The tablet turns on abruptly, as Faith tosses her bag down with a thump on the pavement. The odd angle means she's only visible up to about the chest, but anyone who's met her won't be able to mistake that leather on leather taste in clothing, or the smoker's rasp to her voice as she laughs ( Read more... )

“Andy?” Jason called out loud, looking around. “Can’t I do something else now? No one’s calling.” This working at a desk business wasn’t going to work. When he said he wanted to be a cop he meant being out in the field, taking down the bad guys and busting meth labs every Tuesday. If he had known that being a cop meant playing secretary he would ( Read more... )

The sound of a shower going and a slightly foggy video is all that can be made out at first, when the tablet spontaneously turns itself on. When the shower turns off, a blurred male figure walks out of the bathroom, allowing the steamy air out and the tablet to defog. After a minute, Eric walks back in with a white towel around his waist while ( Read more... )

Here's the thing about birthdays, in Faith's opinion. If you grew up in a place that didn't suck, you probably dig them. You got one year older and everybody threw a party to celebrate that just like everyone else, you managed to get born. You're an inch closer to dying but screw it, they got you cake ( Read more... )

Damon Salvatore doesn't go on walks. Useless hippies go on walks. Stefan goes on walks. In nature, where he admires all the goodness of this green earth then rips something fluffy into a bloody mess and then cries a single, perfect tear over the waste while MCR whines about something atonally in the background. Maybe that stupid Sarah McLachlan ( Read more... )
