Current Man, I remember those last few statuses sounding funnier when I was writing them... Is this what aging does to people?

I eat negativity and shit out hopes and dreams. Like a tree, but for pessimism.

Good news, I'm not failing out of my cooking course tomorrow! Bad news, it's only because I nearly sliced a chunk off my finger practicing for it and needed stitches.

It's days like today that I truly believe this ADHD is both a blessing AND a curse.

Oh god... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but the words 'GM surprise' generally seem to mean disaster in my experience...

Joseph looked up in surprise when Victor chastised him for the nickname. He opened his mouth to ask if now was really the time, but quickly decided against it. What would fighting the man do? It certainly wouldn't help the situation in any way. Right now, they both needed to focus on Olivia, and that was exactly what he'd do.

Thankfully, the man quickly gave him actual advice not too long after, telling him to step back if she started having a seizure. In response, Joseph simply nodded. It was only when he did so that he noticed the tall woman. At this point however, he was too worried for Olivia to even react.

He was scared.

He was confused.

And he was useless.

All he could do was kneel there, holding her hand, while Victor did all the important stuff. He couldn't even speak up to tell the crowd to disperse for gods sake!

It was only when the paramedics showed up that he managed to even move himself, stepping back while they moved her into the ambulance.

He looked up in surprise at Victor when he told him to go with her. Why wasn't he coming? Then again, the look in his eyes suggested it may have just been better to not ask.

"Yeah, alright." He said with a quick nod. "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything else."

He then turned to the tall woman.

"Like he said, thanks for helping us."

And then he went to start gathering her coat and the things that dropped from it. As he picked everything up, one of the paramedics approached him.

"You're coming with us?"

"Yeah, I just had to get all her stuff." He responded.

"Alright. I'll ask you to sit up the front with me though, just so you don't panic and interfere with anything in the back."

"Yeah, ok." He said, jogging up to the vehicles door and hopping in.

Things should be alright now. They were going to the hospital, and they'd know what to do.



Joseph sat in the hospital corridor, waiting for any word on what was going on.

Was Olivia ok?

Was it a minor thing, or could this be something really bad?

Damn it, what the hell was going o-

Before he could finish his thought, the door opened and an elderly doctor stepped out. Joseph looked up with a worried expression, only to be greeted with a reassuring smile.

"She's asleep, but she should be alright for now. You can go in if you want, but please don't disturb her rest."

Joseph let out a massive sigh of relief, which he'd been holding in since she'd first collapsed. However, it was only as he did this that he thought he noticed something. Maybe it was just a little bit of lingering drunkness, but he thought he saw… something in the doctors expression. It was gone in a second though, so Joseph decided he must've imagined it.

Slowly, still somewhat nervous despite the doctors words, he stepped into the room.

It was a nice one, all things considered, with a window looking out into a small courtyard. By said window was a single, folding chair, which made it seem like they placed it in there specifically for him. Then again, what would he know about hospitals? He was just some dumb wanderer…

He looked out at the moon through the window, before taking a seat. It wasn't long before his fear could no longer outmatch his exhaustion, and he too drifted off to sleep.
Jeez, so who's staying? I'm still trying to get a first post out, and now it looks like half the cast has disappeared!
@KoL@TheWindel

Yeah, sorry. I do plan to post, but stupid life and stupid other RPs have been getting in the way. I might actually be able to get a post up tonight though, if all goes well.
Alright, so what's happening in the IC right now? Is it still the party that was going at the start?
@EchoicChamber

"Huh, I see…" Nick said, looking back to the surrounded building. "Well, looks like I'd better get started then."

And then he sprinted in the opposite direction, moving further and further from the ranch house with every step. He had to make sure he got this right, especially seeing as he wouldn't be able to control his weapons once he hit the field. He knew where he had to go, he knew how he had to do it. Now he just had to make sure that it actually worked.

Measuring the angle as well as he could from such a distance, he began summoning a few weapons. the first was one he'd had specially made, a curved sword that, despite being based off a fairly deadly weapon, was actually completely blunt where there would normally be a blade. The second was somewhat simpler, a normal bolt action rifle with an attached bayonet. However, it was the third weapon which really caught the eye. It was a sword, except most would say that it was actually too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy and too rough. It was more like a large hunk of iron.

Then he stepped onto the sword, strapped the other two weapons to his back, and clung to said blunt edges with every ounce of strength he could muster.

And then the sword flew towards the ranch house so fast that he was almost torn off by gravity anyway.

"GGGGGGNNNNNNNHHHHHHAAAAA!!!" Was the only sound that managed to escape his mouth as he felt his control over the sword slip away, signalling that he'd entered the field properly. Barely a second later, the sword crashed into the ground, skidding along it like a surf board.

As he moved, he chanced a look up, glad to see that he was still on the right course. He had aimed to slide just past the building, notably on one of the sides without the tank, and said spot was rapidly approaching.

A little too fast, actually.

This may not have been his best idea.

Knowing just how annoying this was gonna be, Nick leapt off the sword that continued to tear off into the distance, rolling along the ground with no small amount of pain. However, he managed to roll onto his feet, and leapt through a window before someone could start shooting at him.

"Ow, god damn it!" He shouted, yanking a couple of thankfully small glass shards from his arms and running through the building, sword now drawn.

A mere second later, he noticed a bright flash not far away. This was quickly followed by some kind of mist or smoke, and he instinctually pulled his shirt over his mouth. He didn't know what it was, but he'd dealt with enough noxious gasses in his life to know that it was best to just assume the worst.

He quickly sprinted into another room, which had already had its door knocked off the hinges, only to see a truck filled with people ready to leave.

"Oh good!" He said, a slightly panicked smile on his face. "You guys already have a plan! Mind if I catch a ride with you?"

Before waiting for an answer, he practically through himself into the truck, making sure that none of his weapons accidentally stabbed anyone, of course.

"I'm Nick, by the way!" He said. "There was this little kid hiding in the bushes, and he said you guys might need a han-"

However, before he could even finish his sentence, he caught sight of the dark haired girl, causing him to pale considerably.

That… That was a ghost he was more than happy to leave in his past…

To bad life has a tendency to throw those back at you…
Alright! Finally, I managed to get a first post for Nick out! I was getting kind of worried I'd never get around to it.

That being said, I still need an answer on whether the weapons he already has summoned and in his hands before he goes into the field would actually disappear, or if the field would just prevent him from summoning new weapons.
@EchoicChamber

Nick was trying to figure out what was happening.

It had been little while since he'd started observing the surrounded building, and he had almost considered approaching it. Thankfully however, he wasn't that stupid. Even from the distance he was keeping, it wasn't difficult to see that the forces surrounding the small house were stupidly well equipped.

The fact that moving to close seemed to prevent him from summoning more weapons only reinforced his original thoughts.

Still, it wasn't like he could just leave! Sure, it might look like one of the factional militaries hunting down bandits, but what if it wasn't? What if it was something darker, and leaving would mean condemning anyone inside? He couldn't just do something like that!

The main problem was just trying to figure out whether that actually was the case or not, because he didn't want to try and convince the surrounding force to not kill the buildings inhabitants if said inhabitants were just going to shoot him in the back...

And that was when he saw his salvation, in the form of a young boy covered in quite a bit of blood. Of course, he was in the Ashlands, so being covered in blood and in decently close vicinity to a violent incident didn't always indicate involvement, or even that approaching him was any less dangerous but what else could he do? This was the best lead he had!

"Hey, kid!" He shouted, running over to the boy. "Do you know anything about what's going on over there in that building? Maybe anything about the people inside? I want to try and prevent as much killing as possible, but I need to know if the people inside will try to kill me as well."

Alright, here's my app, tell me if it sucks. I know there are a few formatting issues, but I'm not very good at formatting in general, so I don't know how to fix them. Also, I'm fully aware that I've come dangerously close to just making the actual Dan Avidan here, but that's just what happens when you spend a couple of days looking through gifs of him.
