She stared at the stone ball for a moment. Then slowly, she slid it over to her. She called upon the Ace of Panthers card from her card deck, placed it on her desk beside the stone ball, and closed her eyes, hands on the ball. “Oh crystal ball, let me see into the future. Show what life has sewn with it’s suture. For today, we shall see. Are me and Troy meant to be?” - @restcity

She says she spurned him for the fun of it. "Yeah. Sorry." I know she did it to save my soft ass from a hard ass-kicking. The guy mumbled something, left the kitchen. Kate's look mimicked a curious cat. "Girlfriend? Yeah, no. Sorry." She opened the window next to the fridge, sat on its base - one foot in, one foot out. "Your pops really a cop?" -@grocko

"How about you choose someone to represent you? To let the king know that his search for the elixir is futile," Ameera suggested quietly and watched as the blurry figure of the tall woman in a flowing white gown, hovered a little above the ground and moved towards her. The Woman nodded in approval. Ameera could tell she smiled as well even though she could not see her facial features. -@kemmyb

The kid ran off, while Ned made his way to the junction waiting for a taxi. A dark man with broad shoulders, with a thick scarf on his head pulled up in a green taxi.

"Hello young Mister, what is your destination, I would love to get you to your destination, with comfort, the best in the nation."

"Wow, Is that how you get your stars and tips?" -@doubleworld

"We still can't find him. We've called home, his house, even checked his place of work. And his cell keeps going to voicemail." Dressed in a nude dress similar to that of Vanessa, this lady wears her shoulder-length brunette down. Her eyes zoom sympathetically on a figure clad in white, sitting calmly staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her gray eyes are darker than usual with uncertainty. -@deraaa
