Maksim ran hard and fast, too afraid to even stop and pick up the pepper bun that hit his head. This was a mistake, and the boy knew it. He shouldn't have gone to the park, there were too many people.
Finally Maks made it to a quieter part of the city. He stopped along a section of sidewalk, one side was bordered by the road, and the other by an old abandoned shop. His eyes still glowed blue as he took a few deep breaths, holding a hand over his stomach as it growled noisily.
His attention was drawn behind him, as he heard footsteps and another unfamiliar voice.

"Hey kid, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna talk." He continued to approach the kid as cautiously as he could and kept an eye out for any sudden movements. "What's your name kid?"

@CAWs For Alarm

Maksim spun around, his eyes still glowing blue and a hard look of fear and distrust upon his face.
The boy said nothing for a long time, watching this new stranger very closely, all the while observing his surroundings for a way to slip away.
Was this man part of the police? Or another organization? He didn't seem to be wearing any uniform.
"Leave me alone." was the first thing the boy said after a few long, tense moments of silence.

Saving Headers for Later

Hey all!

I looked through some of the more recent threads and didn't see much about this topic, so I figured I'd try.

Some Roleplay GMs prefer/require you put a header at the top of your post, some with a few lines of code, some with more. I was thinking of having a "Saved Headers" option, kind of like a dropdown with up to 3(to 5) save slots that you can save code in, and insert it wherever the insertion point is. It would just save a little bit of time and convenience (and perhaps help those of us with terrible memory) to post fancy looking headers when needed!

Let me know what you guys think <3

Maksim watched closely, his eyes never once leaving the stranger's own.
It seemed as though he was trying to cover up why Maks had just stolen... but why? What did this stranger have to gain from trying to help him?
The young boy wasn't expecting the stranger to reach out suddenly and take the bag, which startled him, causing him to trip backwards and fall on his back-end.

Maksim's eyes started to glow blue then, simply out of heightened fear and the distress caused by the current situation. The stranger tried to catch Maks' interest when he shook the bag, but the boy wasn't having it. He used one hand to help himself stand quickly, not saying a word before bolting from the small clearing, ducking and jumping over the small shrubbery in an effort to get away quickly.

Maksim sat comfortably in the clearing, confident that he wasn't spotted, after all, he was as careful as can be. The young boy sat criss-crossed as he placed the plastic bag gently in his lap. Opening it up a little, he looked down inside to find two small samples of honey buns, and a small, half-eaten slice of pound cake.

"Jackpot!" Maks whispered as he pulled out one of the honey buns.

Sheffield cleared his throat and exclaimed, "There you are!"

@Cryptek12

The sudden exclamation startled Maks causing him to drop the honey bun. Looking over at the man standing not too far away, the boy stood quickly and backed away by a few steps. Maksim's body was clearly tense as he stood there, sharply eyeing the stranger.

Despite Maks' best efforts, following various people and waiting for them to make a mistake, he hadn't been able to nab anything for quite awhile. The young boy's stomach grumbled rather noisily, catching the attention of the young couple he was following. They turned around and looked down at him, rather curious. Maks cowered a little bit and held a hand up, covering the side of his face as he turned around, walking away from the couple before they could say anything.

He didn't want to grow desperate, but couldn't ignore the pit in his stomach, it had been a couple days since his last meal, which in all reality was a leftover piece from a bread loaf and a half eaten granola bar. Despite his head screaming at him, telling him not to go towards the park, his stomach won the argument, and off towards the festival Maks went.
He took his time getting there, avoiding large crowds and police officers when he could. Once he reached the park, Maksim found a spot hidden amongst a large group of foliage and trees, a favorite hangout of his when the park was less crowded. He examined the crowd, the different stalls, and most importantly the opportunities. Stalls would be too obvious, so he was smart to stay away from them. The boy was patient and waited until the right opportunity showed itself. After a good ten minutes wait, a younger woman walked by, her face buried in her phone and, from what Maks could smell, a bag of cooked goodies to indulge in.

He was sneaky, using the foliage as cover, Maks followed the woman close to the entrance of the festival. There, her phone started to ring, so she took a seat on an empty wooden bench, placing the plastic bag at her feet and indulging in the phone call.
Maksim saw his chance then. He moved slowly, but with intent, crawling quietly through the bushes until he was on the backside of the bench. He then reached underneath it, carefully watching the woman above as he slowly took hold of the bag, minding the plastic and making sure not to cause too much noise, before lifting it off the ground ever so slightly and pulling it back towards the bushes. The young boy sank back into the foliage then, into a small clearing just a few feet behind the bench.
