CZ: Split lips, and skinned knees.
A cock crowed in the morning. A sharp, piercing greeting to the sun's first rays that curved along the oceans far to the East, and lit up the coastline from Okarop to far off Allinor, and beyond. Those same pinkish purple rays crept Westwards, bringing the dawn to the prairie lands and the Elven Forest without prejudice. They swept across the face of the world like a giant broom. Eventually letting that rooster in Issalee Adodynes coop know that it was time for everyone to wake up.

Episode 4 - The Dinner - Part III - Down to business.
Duvalle pushed himself away from the table and sighed contentedly. There was nothing like a good meal to break the ice. While there was still an uncertain edge to everyone, they had seemed to come together, briefly during the meal, sharing the experience with relish.
Only Elizabeth and Marco seemed to still be completely reserved. Though he didn't completely understand Marco's frame of mind, his emotions indicated he have been processing a similar shock as Liz.
Duvalle made a mental note to make an appointment with Marco to see about helping him through his troubles. There seemed to be something related to the young man's grandmother's death and funeral that still bothered him. Duvalle hoped he could help.
Scene 2 - Act 4: Meet Mandy
All six of their group were sitting around the wide-open living room area of the suite. Nine was rummaging through the plastic bags from radio Shack, occasionally mumbling a "yes" or a "hmm, that should work". Tom and Ghost had taken off their coats as Ghost finished giving his story about the girl in the lobby.
Not Betty rushed up to greet Ghost upon his entry, and circled him while he related the story of the woman. Satisfied that he was in one piece and exactly as he left, she relaxed.
"Visitor." She smiled brightly. "We can have visitor."
Payback in Time - Loony Bin (Part 10)
Before they turned the corner, Stone said, "Hey, doc, do you think--..."
Sebastián's mind was slightly pre-occupied, wondering what the staff of Toddberry would make of a Doctor riding up on a motorcycle, wearing a tuxedo. He was hoping they'd chalk it up to "DiSantiago Eccentricity" when Stone's voice brought him out of his mild reverie. Turning, he gave Stone his full attention.
His smoky lenses turned once more towards the scene unfolding along the side of the building. He stopped his bike and gestured for Sebastian to follow suit as he studied the situation.
"Unexpected transfer..." the biker thought out loud. There was a pause, and then he swung his leg to get off his bike.
Duty
|NOTE: This takes place AFTER the Payback thread. We've been waiting to release this, and the events will not be diminished or plans changed due to JShowell's need to leave TCQ.
This is a story of duty.
Duty born of blood. Duty born of Fear. And duty born of darkness.
Some of the few
What do you do to make ends meet?
CZ - Leaving the Nest
|The day's work finally done with the hanging of the dish towel, Nathan Errald re-settled at the kitchen table. He still tried to digest what Garrick and Marissa told him of their trip and the subsequent Council meeting. After dinner, Garrick beat a hasty retreat to the barn, not only to get out of doing dishes but to give the two of them time to talk. The reason for the barn was also two-fold. Even though there was an extra bedroom in the house, thin walls did nothing to promote privacy and his and Marissa's talk before they left town still played in both their minds. Distance would be a good thing, tonight.
"So what's on your mind to do, Missy?" Nathan asked his daughter.
Dilemma: Aftermath (ALL TEAM MEMBERS INCLUDED - PAYBACK TOO)
"Xavier Relaford..." Phi repeated the name back to the person on the other end of the phone, squinting hard as she tried to place the name. "No. No, I don't have any recollection of that name."
Several moments passed as the small DiSantiago paced around the deluxe suite at her cousin's wedding, the ever present cell phone perched against her ear. With each lap she got more and more agitated, glaring at her brother as if it was somehow his fault.
