A facehugger scampered across the floor, tracking movement. Its long, finger-like limbs moving with terrifying speed to propel it to another hiding place and out of sight of the potential host.

I wonder what pain feels like...?

I can't tell when I'm bleeding anyway.

Gross!

You use this piece to take the other pieces apart! [demonstrating with a few LEGO she had in her hand]

OH OH OH OH PICK ME PICK ME!

yep yep yep yep yep yepperoni!

|| Clarice's birthday is 3.1.2426 but she doesn't know she's passed it already.

[🕷] This is the only time I'm gonna be doing this. I feel awful, but I don't have any other way to turn. So here it is. I'm low on food, and my only income is gone. Outright cut off. If anybody can help, please do. I have to feed me and my partner. $CourtneyLD27 Again, I'm sorry to ask.

Sitting in a booth doodling her and Percy sitting by a fire and trying, valiantly, not to miss him too much.

Did you ever meet the monster hunter? Percy? He was kind and he gave good hugs and he made really good food? [She looks like she's on the verge of emotionally unraveling on the spot.]

Pacing back and forth in the bakery. "Where is he..."

Can you stop doing mean things to my friends?

If the plants decide they don't want your sunlight, can they rise up against you and kill you? Y'know, when you're a sun, and all that?

We need to get this guy a cliff and some rope or something!

Not today. In general!

Oh I think I'm older now?

I'M MAKING PANCAKES!!!

http://sunder I've been meaning to write this for a while and made time to do so today. These are the guidelines I adhere to while writing minor characters.

"Just ooooone little peek?" Clarice begged, holding onto @cienn.sunder.my's arm. "Pretty pleaaaaase?"

Hmm. I wonder what Percy would think of a robot helper!

Have you ever thought about fighting a dragon?

I don't feel like crying anymore... so yes. It did help!

[Clarice never mentioned the heat. She didn't sweat, either, a byproduct of her condition. She just sat up there for the better part of ten minutes before she got bored.] Okay! Thanks! Put me down now please Mr. Yes-Man.

Into the air! Yeah!

I haven't heard that song!

No? And squish me? I wouldn't feel the pain but I'd still squeak.

Geez who is that guy.

PLAY IT!

"What's the difference between a Minuteman and an hourman?" The teen seemed genuinely confused, and after a moment, she smacked her hand against her forehead in something of a salute. "Am I doing it right?"

Oh a mysterious third person!

I don't think I can reach it.

[sniffling] thanks big robot smiling guy.

Was it Lucy? Or Benny. I don't know who Benny is.

Why? You should. I'm very talk-to-able.

"Do you have the scars???"

Um. I didn't deserve it...

"I don't want to get crucified again."

The teen raised her arm and waved enthusiastically. "I'm Clarice!! You're not with the Legion, right?"

Hmmm ....

Yeah you are!

NO. I'm not an old goober like you.

Now I can't have any more donuts...

AW YOU DREW HER ATTENTION!

I don't really need my robot anymore. I think I'm safe enough here.

"Hey, who are you?"

I survived the worst thing a man could see and yet I am still here. Is that enough? -------------------------------------------- Indie Sole Survivor from Fallout 4 and after. Brotherhood of Steel Ending and Alignment.
