I never thought about having a birthday before my friends surprised me with my skateboard, but I guess I do have one. Everyone does, even if it's not really the day they were born. If it' ( Read more... )

[Using voice because he knows there's someone out there who doesn't want to see him just yet.  He's accompanied with the sound of crashing waves and an excited barking puppy.]

You know, with the recent arrivals I have to wonder...is it really the island that's pulling every single one of us here?  And if so what does it want from us?

Hey, Joe and Namine, I'm going to be home a little later tonight since I stayed at Kahve SS longer to learn how to do some things. I think this'll work out. It was pretty cool of Sadiq to hire me ( Read more... )

[The earthquake has turned everything upside down, but it's business as usual for the hacked NVs.

[A quiet sound sets in and if one listens close enough there's the faint hint of breathing on the other line.

There are glimpses of the couch he's sitting on. The cat appears a little ragged due to life on the streets, but he's clean and not too ( Read more... )

[ Ritsuka is sitting on the fire escape of the starter apartments, enjoying the warm weather. He's dressed rather more nicely than usual in a button-down shirt, slacks and loafers, and he's not covering his cat ears at all. ]Are there any specific things I should talk about, interviewing to enter a private school? I'm not about to tell them I don't ( Read more... )
