Well, there, that's the final major character to be introduced: Geek. He shall remain nameless for a bit longer than the others as Donny's off a bit in lala land due to the drugs used on him, not thinking as clearly as he normally would.

So, can anyone guess anything about where this is going?

Chapter 7 has already been sent to the betas and will be up as soon as it's ready.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Oh please, no... This... Oh God... Tears... Incoherency... I am so moving to De- Nile... It's been a while, my house is probably dusty, but I don't care... De- Nile is the place I will be found at until...

Oh no... *shuffles into a corner and starts to rock back and forth*

*blinks*

Wow. Not the reaction I was expecting... and to think, I haven't even gotten to the real whumping yet!

*pets softly*

What was it? The souvenir bit?

[loozy]

*moving her books and clothes to De-Nile*

*opens window to air the flat out*

*true self still in corner, still whimpering*

Yup, that last bit killed me... Seriously, I actually moaned out aloud when reading that last paragraph... Oh man...

I am actually really distraught now...

[valeriev84]

Ouch, sorry! That was definitely not the intention!!

*pets some more*

You have me sitting on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what happens now. Please don't make us wait to long.

Wow...

I'm really glad this bit came to me now. The whole souvenir thing was completely unplanned. I was just writing the scene and it suddenly popped into my head.

This also wasn't supposed to be the end of the chapter, but it turned out too long and 7 too short, so I evened things out a bit by splitting it here.

Chapter 7 is already at the betas, so it shouldn't be too long. With any luck, I'll be sending out 8 later today (or tomorrow, depending on where in the world you are).

I like to go more for realism when possible (though not too much in this case as someone pointed out a kidney kick in this situation could well have made things... messy).

Besides, it will be important later.

Glad you liked that last bit. It came out of nowhere but fits Frazer's character quite well. He's really focused on one thing here and the rest is just extra.
