(Benjamin Lichter continues from Z3 ROADSTER FOR SALE ) All things considered, Ben had had a good night's sleep. It hadn't been as comfortable as the night before, but it was significantly better than the ones before that. The day before he and Wade had done two things, mostly: 1) They had tried (a...

Ben was... dare he say... happy? It seemed so long since he'd felt like this, and even then it was undercut with the sad reality of their situation. Wade had had a tough time on the island too. And what's more, he had seen Irene before she died. They had talked at length about Irene. Talking had don...

Ben waited while the boy checked his bag. He seemed surprised, though Ben couldn't tell if it was because he had more or less than what he'd expected. At least his answer proved he still had more than Ben had. "I, uh.." he said. What did he want? Food was the answer. None of the choices st...

Ben accepted his wallet back with a nod and a small "Thanks." He checked it, then breathed a sigh of relief - it had fallen open, but nothing had fallen out. "Whatever you can spare, I guess," he said in response to the boy's question. "I've got a piece of bread left, one ti...

This situation was calming down rapidly. First, the other boy had stopped looking so tense. And then he'd offered Ben some of his supplies. If this was a trap, he'd walk into it head first, because he did need supplies. Badly. He lowered his arms and grinned in relief, relaxing somewhat. "I, um...

Ben had been caught by surprise. Again. It just wasn't his day. The boy had emerged from the pile of towels with speed and agression that had completely caught Ben off guard. In the few moments that had taken him to throw his arms up in shock and back away the boy had rolled out from under the shelv...

(Minor GMing approved) (Benjamin Lichter continues from Hyphaema ) Ben walked along the road. He was looking for a place to get his bearings, take stock of his preparations and get some information he needed. He passed the vehicle compound where he had been put originally, but decided against going ...

(Benjamin Lichter continues from Nope, it's not a dream. We're stuck with it. ) Ben had gotten used to sneaking around - walking on the balls of his feet, hugging walls, constantly checking around, that sort of thing. It was almost second nature to him now. He was walking behind one of the dormitor...

Maxim laughed at him. Ben was taken slightly aback by that, and felt a bit hurt. Maxim did clarify his original question, however, and Ben understood that his answer hadn't been anywhere near that what Maxim was expecing. So he could hardly blame Maxim for it. Still. He had been quite serious. Anywa...

It was just like yesterday, again. Maxim's calm and collected demenour stood in stark contrast to Ben's panicked and fearful reaction. He chided himself for it, resolving to try and emulate Maxim more from now on, his admiration of his friend having grown exponentially since he had turned up yesterd...

With a panicked push, Ben opened the door to Maxim's room. "Maxim...?!", he repeated again, though he trailed off when he saw that his fear had been for naught. Maxim sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt ashamed almost immediately. He had barge...

It was just like yesterday. The weather, that is. Ben stood outside the door of the building he had slept in, looking up at the sky. The clouds moved slowly across the blue, and the wind came and went, ruffling his hair as it did. He thought about what he would give for a kite at that moment. To jus...

He sounded less impressive than Ben remembered him. He remembered someone inhuman, something... monstrous. Well, he was monstrous, right? Right? He was the one responsible for the entire situation, and he was sitting somewhere with a microphone, gloating and smiling, probably, at his handiwork. What...

( Benjamin Lichter continues from Prince of Nothing ) He sat in a chair. He knew his hands and feet were handcuffed to it, even though he didn't look down. He knew his classmates were left, right and across from him, though he didn't turn to look. He sat, terrified, looking past the dead body of Mr....

Ben turned his head in suprise. "Are... uh, thanks", he said, trying to sound appreciative. Truth be told, he was a little disappointed in himself for not volunteering to do it first. After Maxim having helped him calm down he would have liked to thank him by letting him sleep first. Besid...
