Writing Samples

First Person Sample
[Sound: some strained, quiet breaths that are barely audible over the incessant tapping of a keys on a keyboard, with only brief pauses in between. After about ten seconds it stops. The voice sounds surprised, and then a mix of exasperated and excited.]

Wait... am I connected?

Friggin' finally, alright... so...

[A brief pause.]

Did I- wait, no, so this server has sound and video.

[Raises his voice. Now that he's got a connection, he's back to irritated and nervous.]

Anyone there?

Oh 'cmon, someone's gotta be on this thing.

[Some tentative typing before a pause. The voice grows quiet.]

...Where the hell is Takaya.

Third Person Sample
Jin let a short, irritated breath escape his lips as he turned back to the screen, blaring a colorless light that staggered in bars over his sunglasses. He typed a few more notes on his laptop keyboard, saved a file, clicked, pressed his mouse pad, dragged, dropped, signed in, overrode, uploaded, verified- and then the battery snapped the screen to black.

Son of a bitch. He cursed under his breath as he fumbled frantically for his external battery pack, tangling his fingers in the wires. He didn't want to admit he was nervous about this. The baseball diamond was beginning to cast long, drawn-out shadows around him, and he was avoiding looking at that sign. Every time he looked at it, his anxiety quickly turned into irritation. Who the hell did they think they were? Who the hell even used the term newbs anymore? Were they trying to be fucking witty?

Done, he closed the laptop and shifted uncomfortably in his green jacket, glancing around the baseball diamond. Nothing like a big open space with big shadows to make you feel insignificant. He wondered if the coming of Nyx had passed. The last thing he remembered was pulling the pin. Maybe this was what the end of the world was like- maybe he was dreaming- and none of those hypotheses made sense, so he grumbled and pushed them from his mind, jamming the battery pack connector into a USB port. An anxious breath escaped him, and then another, and by the time the command prompt loaded he was nearly hyperventilating.

Where the hell was Takaya. Jin checked the battery life as soon as it all loaded.

Another hour he could play around and try and get online. It was an adequate distraction from how nerve-wracking this situation was. He wasn't sure what exactly was so terrifying about it considering well, his life for fuck's sake, but something about the atmosphere just struck him as incredibly wrong. So he had an hour. And light would be fading fast soon, so maybe he had even less time.

And if he hadn't found Takaya by the time that hour was up, he didn't know what he would do. But that won't happen, it's Takaya, he'll figure out what to do. If I'm not dead, he can't - he'll find me. Or I'll find him. Whichever.

The sunset continued to fade, and before it reached the stage of twilight where the colorless light from his screen lit up like the moon, Jin had his Evoker sitting in his lap. He didn't want to call Moros out prematurely, especially since he needed as little distraction as possible as he tried to connect to internet again, but as soon as it hit night, he was pulling that damn trigger.
