Angel Beats

"That'll probably be where he is anyway. That or the infirmary but its safer at base, so it'd be smarter to take him there."
Rakel took him to the Principals office. "Oh, also this door will kill you if you don't know the password. This giant hammer thing drops out and hits you out the window. I died like fifty times just trying to figure out how to open the damn thing. The password is 'There is no God, Buddha or Angel'." She walked in. "I've never tried to change it since I found out. Seems disrespectful to the last battlefront who left us the place."
Adam had been left lying on the couch, and a clean folded shirt had been placed beside him to replace the blood soaked one with the giant hole in it he was still wearing. Catherine was leaning back against the armrest. "Hey Rakel." She grinned when she saw Kenny. "Woah, he looks just like Adam. This the guy you were arguing with on the catwalk?"
"Yes.." Rakel rolled her eyes. "You think you can grab him a uniform?"
"Done and done." Catherine went to a glass case that had once held books and withdrew a battlefront jacket.

"But if there have been people before us, what happened to them? Did they just give up and get obliterated?" Kenny asked as they entered. He waved to Catherine. "My name is Kenny," He said, changing his jacket. "Adam's my twin brother."

[Gifted]

"Yeah, as far as we know. At any rate, by the time I got here, everyone was gone. I was first. I was here a couple months before Angel appeared, and we've been enemies ever since. I learned most of what I know from the computers in here and we all as a team kind of figured out the rest as we went."
"Catherine." Catherine answered him. "Hope you're not as big of a handful as he is."

[Raven]

"I don't think I am," Kenny said, glancing at his brother. He looked like he was about to say something, but his expression changed and he said something else instead. "But you guys had better be treating him right - or I'll have to kill you." Kenny smiled. "I'm his big brother now, I've got to protect him."

[Gifted]

Rakel laughed.
"He ain't doin' anything the rest of us aren't." Catherine assured him. "He's just more reckless, so he gets hurt more often. But he'll be right as rain soon enough."

[Raven]

"He was always reckless," Kenny admitted, sitting down by the couch. Towards the end, though, Kenny had started to wonder if that was actually his brother's personality. Was Adam himself now?

Alex was in another room, drawing what he saw outside. Music was what he'd always had, but art was something he'd never had. He wasn't very good at putting what he saw on paper. He wasn't used to doing things in two dimensions.

[Gifted]

"I'm gonna go see how the rest of the band is doing. Maybe kick a ball around or something." Catherine left the room.
She ran into Alex on her way down. "Hey Alex. How's it going?"

[Raven]

"Good. The concert was great, yeah?" Alex grinned at her, putting his pencil down to give her his full attention.

"Has he told you about us?" Kenny asked Rakel.

[Gifted]

"You think? Thanks. I'll be sure to tell the others you thought so. We had a bit of a hitch near the end, but I'm glad it all went smoothly."

"What, like your lives? Not really. I'm not nosy, and I figure it's personal." Rakel shrugged, turning on the computer and typing out what she could about the day. She wanted to leave a record in case something happened to this battlefront like had happened to the last one. She wished she'd known what had happened to them all.

[Raven]

Kenny nodded, and Adam pushed himself up. Kenny grinned. Adam froze. "Hey-" Kenny started. Adam stormed out of the room. Kenny quivered, not sure what to do. Why did Adam just leave like that?

[Gifted]

"Oh, good you're con- Hey, Adam!" She grabbed the clean shirt and went after him but stopped at the door. "At least take your bloody shirt! Uh, off!" She yelled after him.

[Raven]

Adam threw his bloody shirt back at her and continued outside.

[Gifted]

Rakel got a bloody shirt to the face. "I sort of meant come take a clean one too!" She yelled. Then she sighed. "Fine. Walk around shirtless. See if I care." She shut the door and went back into the room. "Stupid Adam and his temper. Goshdammit. Can't he be a little more mature about the whole thing?"

The sun was still quite down when Adam made it outside and it was entirely deserted. All the NPCs were in their dorms, and most of the people were as well. Those who weren't were still inside.
Except no, it wasn't deserted. Down the stairs, way out on the middle of the track field, Adam could se the sillhouette of a girl lying on her side on the ground.

[Raven]

Adam wasn't interested in having a conversation. He sat down where he was and tried to calm down. His brother was dead. He should have been there for him.

"Why did he storm out like that?" Kenny asked, in a whisper.

[Gifted]

The whole time he sat there, the girl did not move.

"Oh I don't know, probably because of you." Rakel said bitterly.
