"You guys have known eachother for less than a day and you're already blushing around one another. That's love if I ever saw it. That said, I really haven't seen much love... Goddamnit, Simon, why do you always have to sound like a total dork?"

Well, congratulations, Simon, on screwing everything up. I whipped out my 3DS, turned it on, and started playing.

"Let's go to the hospital, and now this time let's not be chased by some sort of Eldritch Abomination or what-have-you. Still, I'm glad I met you guys. We're all in the same boat, after all." And the words escaped from my mouth as a soft whisper: "Except you're probably better off than me."

She glares at him with malice and punches him in the shoulder before returning to Watson's wound, grumbling at him for mentioning her blushing. "Stupid men..." Then she mocks: "It's all cause they want my body. Think that I look attractive... pfft. They don't know anything." Then she actually speaks up after she's done grumbling, still trying to figure out how to place her hands to put pressure on all the wounds at once without outright pushing him. "Yeah, we should get you to the hospital, I honestly can't do much from where I am right now. Especially since you're standing up and not on the ground where there's actually natural resistance.

Hopefully those other guys don't come chasing after us, otherwise we're about to have one heck of a night..."

She blushes again as he looks at her, and she readjusts her hood in embarassment. Esaias keeps flinching every time he gasps, almost like something bad was about to happen - but then he seemingly shrugs it off. "Alright, you know what, lemme take a look at that." She doesn't waste any time and spins him around so she has a proper view of his back, and ends up gasping herself as she looks at the wounds torn into his back. "...well, it's a good thing that we're at a hospital... but we don't have any time to waste! Ugh... Tyler, you smart enough to have any medical supplies at this lab of yours? He actually might bleed out enough to go unconscious at this rate... lucky I know a thing or two about biology and medical stuff..." Esaias rolls her eyes as she applies what pressure she can to the wound in his back. "I swear if this turns out just to be a stupid attempt by some boy to romance me, and not an actual attempt at saving me, I'm going to rip off your bandages prematurely for a laugh."

|Christopher Watson|

-"Hey!" -I mumbled as she span me around without my consent.

Hearing her words, my left eyebrow rose. Is it that bad? As she pressed the wound, I gasped once again, a bit louder than the other times, clenching my fist. The initial wave of pain dissipated slightly.

-"R-Romance you?" -I looked at her from over my shoulder after hearing her words - "I-I-I..." -I shook my head, trying to concentrate- "I would protect anyone here, alright? Excuse me from trying to be polite." -I started staring at the floor, slightly angry at the comment, in a somewhat childish way.

I hear Simon comment on the situation right afterwards, "Love? What? I don't... Why would I...? Great, now even my inner thoughts are getting confused by the situation". I put in an extremely confused expression, open my mouth as if I was going to say something, but closing it right after. Keeping my angry, but involuntarily childish expression.

-"C-Can we j-just focus, please." -It's like I've turned eight again, I couldn't even speak.

"Love", I feel like I've just went through a loop in a roller coaster, I have no idea how it's suppose to feel, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't describe it better than this. I think I'm blushing, but I can't quite tell, it's like I'm trying to fight it somehow, which I'm probably failing horribly at.

Seems like someones getting a lot of action...now why won't someone pay attention to me. As I think about this I blush. God what are they gonna think about me now...no focus Glade. "You lovebirds stop it and focus alright?" I can feel the warmth in my cheeks as I say these few simple words...

 

[Nisteth]

|Esaias|
|Streets|

"That's what I'm TRYING to do, Glade." She rolls her eyes before walking Watson back to the hospital, paying no attention at all to her bike as she strolls straight past it. Ugh, I swear, everyone seems to think that I'm so attractive, and tries to act so romantic for me... I just hate it. And everyone always seems to think that I'm in love with someone. "I have good reason to be embarrassed, anyway. What girl wouldn't be if they ended up in that situation?"

[Docklands, Damaged shop]

I peer through the now open door. Light filters in from the damaged wall, just barely dispelling the darkness within. I call out: "Is anyone there?". The sound is swallowed up by the interior, and no reply returns. I venture inside, using my shield to cover any potential angles of attack. The lessons of earlier today are not lost on me, as I peer around for anything out of the ordinary. As I reach the hole, I'm struck by the lack of debris inside the shop. Shattered sections of wood are lying on the floor, but there is no sign of vehicle wreckage, nor of anything that could have smashed through the wall and caused this damage. I search the interior of the shop, checking for any other clues, but nothing comes up. The peculiarity of the incident makes me wonder if I'm not the only one having a crazy day.

Well, guess its time to rely on old-fashioned policing methods. Remembering to release the shield so as not to scare people, I walk out of the shop in search of any witnesses to what had happened.

As she starts directing me to the hospital's front door, I continued to stare at the ground, my cheeks still red. "Fuck", I kept the word repeating, endlessly into my consciousness, while we walked. "No, but this... No, I can't... I can't!" I kept screaming to myself, I couldn't anything remotely close to that happen, ever again. In between my mind getting extremely overflown in thoughts and the constant excruciating pain in my back, I barely noticed, when my thoughts went to loudly, and I mumbled, in still, a quiet manner:

-"I shouldn't be d-..." -I swear to myself hearing those words just barely coming out of my mouth, hoping to everything holy in this Earth for her not to have heard that.

"I'd be a bit embarassed if I were in this situation, and I'm a lad. But this conversation has dragged on for too long already, and I'd like to take a shower or something. And if any of you guys need to stop somewhere, my house has a free room and all that."

As I walk past Glade, I see her cheeks who appear to be a bit red.

Damnit, Simon, why do you have to be such a dork at all times?

"Uhm, you know, you want anything? I don't know, I sort of know when people feel like they just want a bit of attention. Maybe because I know that feeling so well, but enough about me. Do you want anything?"

|Docklands|

Lorna finds a man with what appears to be metal in his hands, as in "his hands are coated in metal", and a weird, off-his-meds look in his eyes, laying on the ground on top of the scattered wood and fruit. Her keys slowly start to exit her pocket and head into the mess.

...then again, he is actually kind of cute. But I never make friends because I know that we'll argue! But... it's nice to have people around. But what about keeping this whole thing a secret? What will my story be to have met him? But... no, no, I'm pretty sure I can think of something. Her thoughts continue to drift on the topic of being in love with him for a surprising amount of time before she's snapped out of her state by some sort of speech, then looks around curiously. "Watson, did you say something? I swear I just heard someone speak... hah, might be telepathy or something with how ridiculous this day is getting." She just shrugs it off and continues walking, smiling a bit in amusement before going blank again. "Hopefully they'll be willing to at least examine you."

|Daniel|

Daniel sees what appears to be a policewoman in front of him. He immediately feels himself tensing up as he loathes the police and their corruption. "Of course, it is not like I can say that without hypocrisy," Daniel giggles to himself. He then starts to stare at her wondering what she wanted, it is not like the police would ever find out who he was, a few 'gifts' here and there would always sort that out.

"-Uh, yeah let's all go get some coffee after we get some help for Christopher. Might help us to sort this all out if we talk about it for a while" Did that sound as cheesy as I think...Damnit why am I still blushing...act tough Glade act tough...you can't let your emotions get ahead of you...you can't become the fiery girl you were back then...but is that who I really am. The blood flows back out of my cheeks as I calm myself down again. "And anyways we all need to talk, or we'll think we're insane..."

I left a light, awkward smile leave my face. As if I was saying: "Yeah, probably". I couldn't control my thoughts, no matter how much I tried, and that irritated me profoundly. I start feeling a familiar headache rumble through my mind, I laid my wrist onto the side of my head, closing my eyes in pain.

-"I hope so." - I said, trying to hide the pain.

Failing, I gasped once more from the pain before we entered the hospital.

"I'm pretty sure we're all insane already." I tried giving my best attempt at a smile, but I think it came off as being very awkward.

I took a good look at her.

Slightly smaller than me. Fit build, looks like she pratices some kind of martial art. Short, red hair, fiery as hell from the look in her eyes. Looks like she's lived abroad somewhere. Cute when she's flustered. Yeha, definetively a tsundere. Or at least showing signs of it.

"So, uhm, what's your name? I'm Simon. Simon Hideyoshi"

That's all you can think of? Say something else.

"Uhm... look, my life isn't very interesting, but I don't know yours. Care to share?"

 

[Strikingwolf]

|Glade|
|Streets|

Why is this guy looking me up and down so much...maybe he likes* me. What should I do!?!

"I'm Glade, and I nearly killed someone 2 years ago at a school near here"

Fuck why did I say that. Now he'll think I'm some kind of cold-blooded killer

"I've calmed down since then"

I awkwardly shrug trying to shake the feeling off.

I smile in a jesting way as I say "So what about your so called boring life."

*Insert Happy from Fairy Tail saying llllliiikkessss here

"I'm a complete and total nerd who spend his days reading manga, playing video games, playing the bass, listening to all sort of music, studying at Uni and working at a nearby shop. In other words, completely unremarkable."

 

[Strikingwolf]

|Glade|
|Streets|

"Seems like someone that could be very remarkable"

I smile and blush. I know what I'm getting myself into...I've never been good with relationships...

"Anyway let's go to the coffee shop. I'm sure the others can get Christopher some help."

I drag Simon along to the shop with a wide smile on my face

 

[GPuzzle]

|Simon|
|Streets|

Glade dragged me by the wrist, and I could see a smile on her face. It was stunning. At that moment I knew there was no turning back. And I wanted to follow that road.

We arrived at the coffee shop, and I took a seat in the far left corner, as away from the entrance as possible.

"C'mon, have a seat. I'm pretty sure they won't charge extra for that."

 

[Strikingwolf]

|Glade|
|Coffee Shop|

Why am I doing this...this can only end badly. I can't do this...everyone I've ever loved I've hurt...even my sister back then...

We get into the coffee shop and I turn to Simon "I'm sorry I can't do this."

I storm out of the shop and almost burst into tears. One chance Glade...what if this was your one chance at love...

|Hospital|
Christopher wakes up in a room, and an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Broke a leg and a rib. You were lucky you were near the hospital. Sorry about the state of here, we've had a bit of an accident."

|Simon|
|Coffee Shop|

"Glade?"

I darted my way out of my seat and followed the girl before grabbing her wrist. That's a great start to any sort of friendly relations, Simon. Excellent one at that.

"Look, I know you might be scared. If this ever becomes a full-blown relationship, it'll be my first. And I'm also scared of that possibility. And I know we're just two strangers with a great similarity, but that just means that we've got all the reasons in the world to stick out for each other. Let's just give this a chance, and if this doesn't work out, we can just be similar. No more than that. Alright?"

|Christopher Watson|
|Hospital|

The doctor's words made me cringe slightly. I really wasn't feeling anything, I'm guessing it's just the adrenaline still dissipating: "It will get worse soon" is all I could think of. I rested my head on the not-very soft pillow, releasing a heavy sigh. I glanced at the room, and eventually at Esaias, which was at the side of the bed. I left a slight laugh when my eyes laid on her, trying to hide a worried expression, I gazed at the ceiling, and my laugh was interrupted by a sudden urge to cough. My throat is still dry, clearly. I put my hand over my eyes, as if I was blocking the light coming from the hallway.

-"Don't worry, I'm actually surprised there's even staff still here, considering what happened." -I coughed again- "How much time do you estimate for a full recovery?"
