Jim had been glad they left the party early, if only because of how the weather had suddenly changed. By the time they got to the hut, it'd just started to get a little worse, and colder, too. The warmth of the hut had been more than welcome ( Read more... )

Jim knew he couldn't put it off forever. He was always pretty good at not dealing with things, though, and keeping things quiet kept seeming like such an easier option. Thing was, he wasn't stupid, and neither were Veronica and River. They'd catch on eventually, and he was pretty sure he'd rather they find out earlier than figure it out that way ( Read more... )

Jim hadn't planned to bump into Pam on the way back from Karen's hut, but he certainly didn't mind. He'd had plans to do a couple of things, but decided instead to hang out with her for a while. They had plenty of time, of course, before Karen would be back ( Read more... )

Sam had been cranky ever since the weather had changed. It was partially why he had decided to go to the party that had just happened, and why he tried his best to stay in the Compound as much as he could. Even there was crowded - understandably so - so that didn't really help much either. The problem was, he couldn't sleep in the rec room, too, ( Read more... )

The decision had been an obvious one, as much as he disliked it. Sam was much better off in the Compound with the weather like it was at night, and with Veronica being fine with her sleeping there, there was little reason not to go along with it. Still, the hut was strangely quiet without Sam around. He'd just dropped her off, and she seemed happy ( Read more... )

For something he'd been convincing himself wasn't a date, Jim found himself increasingly nervous. Two days had passed by quickly, and he'd been admittedly distracted since the moment she left. He had a decision to make. For all he knew, it could very much be the wrong one. The only thing he had left was to trust his instincts, and he felt like that ( Read more... )

Jim had told Pam to come by earlier that day. It seemed as good a time as any for her to see if she needed anything from the art supplies, and with Sam off being babysat, it meant it'd be all the easier to get through it without too much interruption. He had a feeling she wouldn't want to dwell in there too long and, honestly, neither did he ( Read more... )

Another one gone.

The feeling of dread Jim had felt when he'd gone to talk to Tim earlier that day and found nothing that indicated he'd been around - or ever been around - had quickly nose dived into a sort of numb acceptance. He'd looked everywhere, talked to anyone who'd know, and, nothing. It was like he just vanished out of thin air.

He had ( Read more... )

State of the pups time, huzzah.

( Woooo. Pass this by if you don't care. XD )

With Pam in a safer area, Jim didn't feel so bad more or less booking it out of there once she was settled. He intended on heading over to his hut once it was done, but it all hit him full force by the time he got to the rec room. He stood in the hallway, leaning against the wall, the full weight of everything baring down on him, and it took ( Read more... )
