University, stress, the rift that cut through the site. Mostly things that other people have already said. This is actually my first post in... hell, like a year? Insomnia has been screwing with me for over a week, so I've started running out of distractions. It's been nice seeing posts from...

Eddie's breathing was slow and calm as he detailed the shape of the lighthouse he was drawing. Then there was a knock at the door that made him jump slightly, yanking him out of his concentration. "Mr. Canton, may I enter?" "Yeah, come in," he said, dropping the pad and pencil into his...

Bryan sat on the flat, open rooftop of one of Paradiso's downtown restaurants, the Grassa e Troppo Caro. It hadn't been hard to tail Caputo. Arrogant, and reasonably affluent, Bryan had him pegged as a penthouse guy, but had kept watch for a couple of hours just to make sure. His assumption had...

Sat in Elizabeth's office, Ruffles had two huge carry cases with him. They were sat at his feet along with a satchel stuffed with papers, and a collapsible presentation board. He had a machine on his lap that looked like a chunkier version of hoovering robot. He had opened up the casing and was...

THIS SPACE FOR RENT

"Later tonight - after the Morello situation is wrapped up, I need you to do what you do best," Tsubaki said. Bryan grinned. "But what I do ain't very nice." He'd always wanted to say that. "Do it quick. Do it quiet. And more importantly, make it look like it was someone on the outside. If...

"How's the package?" "Broken arm and wet pants," Bryan replied. "So, basically fine. He'd be finer if he hadn't pulled a knife on me." Taking a swig from his hip flask, he lowered his voice. "Besides, we're bein' bad guys. They'da looked at me funny if he were still in mint condition."

"I've been thinking for awhile... maybe we should find the younger ones a home. A real home. We could give them or their caretakers money to get by and we could use the rest to fill our ranks with professionals. People who've already condemned themselves to... whatever 'this' is." "Maybe,"...

"Keep moving! don't let them pin you down!" 'Obviously,' Korovitch thought as the two ran to keep ahead of the Songbirds advancing on their six. Reaching under his shirt, Korovitch produced a molotov cocktail. It was one of several Iron Squad had whipped up the night before. Lighting it, he...

"What'd you say you fuckin' smart guy? Eh?" Caputo snarled, going bright red. Caputo started moving to hit him, arm drawing back and everything. Though Bryan was stood stock still, he could feel the gears of his internal mechanism turning. Caputo was going to take a swing and Bryan would, in...

"Unless you got somethin' you need to tell me... well then, spit it the fuck out! I don' like sittin' around with my limp dick warmin' my palm." Trying not to jam his thumbs into Caputo's eye sockets, Bryan sighed. "Sure thing, boss. I'll get right on it. But hey, I hear they make a pill fer...

"So... what do you think? About what we're doing, I mean. We're on the home stretch. Feels weird, you know? We've dedicated our entire lives to this... what do we do when it's all over?" Riley scratched his beard thoughtfully. "Well, I dunno," he said. "When I first got wrapped up in all...

"How... how have you been sleeping lately? Any more nightmares since... you know..." "Ah, you know..." He wasn't sure what to say. He couldn't tell her they were worse than he remembered them being, or that her absence had made them that much harder to deal with. The latter fact was...

"You're dismissed," Bennie said. Whiskey's head snapped up. 'Aw, hell yeah!' "I hope you know she's just going to train the lazer-robots to recognise you as hostile now, right?" 'Aw fuck no!' Sighing, Whiskey put a fresh cigarette between her lips and went back to cleaning her newly...

"The rest of the squadron's getting sober without me. You should come and join us. Harel can be your plus one, the poor man won't get in any trouble if we leave him on his own." Ruffles was sorely tempted. But then he remembered his prior engagement. "Aw, I can't, man. Gotta get back and...
