*Snerk* i love the twins so much, and Norris needs a big hug. Like a big one, full body hug kinda thing here. And the favor...*coos* Norris is on the shit end of his stick unfornetly, and things are only going to get worse for him. Poor dear. Great chapter Dixxy-chan, see ya later.

Yay for a new chapter! Dylan seems to be fairly amusing -- a lot like a teasing older brother to Rachel. xD

Very very good so far.

Excellent so far. I love your writing. By the way, L33T means Leet. It a way of shortening words so instead of typing out "By the way" you would say BTW. Anyway, that text messaging lingo is called Leet or "L33t" speak.

ah, Norris, you break my heart into little pieces, you do that Angst you do so well... You poor sweet little thing, probably one of the nicest people in the group and life's handed you a shit pie... Exclent chapter, Dixxy, but you already know my thoughts in detail. Norris is a cuttie...and the twins are juust too adorable...Love it!

Nice chapter. Poor Norris has gotten himself in over his head it seems.

I wonder what is happening with Glenn at the orphanage, we haven't seen him since chapter 10.

((sorry if this pops up a few times -- my comp's acting a little funny))

Yay! Another update! Heh... _Figures_ Norris would finally be 'ready', once he'd lost the opportunity. XD Ah well. Everyone's still growing up -quite- quickly, under all these circumstances; they'll definately be more ready, mentally, emotionally and all by the time they finally meet again.

Norris's development is interesting. I can see how he'd be conflicted in what he'd be feeling. He is a prisoner, but he's granted a freedom of invention and experimentation he wouldn't be able to get anywhere else.

Oh gods... Orlha and Tia. ;__; Yay for Norris for standing up for what he believed in. I am -so- glad that Tia and Orlha weren't separated, but I've just got a -bad- feeling, deep in the pit of my stomach, that things are going to get _far_ worse for Norris in the future, with whatever this 'special favor' is. Norris did the right thing, in helping the twins. Granted, he really didn't have any other CHOICE in the matter; his beliefs wouldn't allow him to make any other choice. It's definately a great literary hook -- keeping us reading, and wondering, and worrying just what this 'deal' will entail. X3

So Dario and Rachel will have a little girl? :D Aw... adorable! X3

Late in reviewing, I'm sorry.

I've been LOVING how this story has been developing so far. :D Every character now off on their own, facing different challenges, growing up with new experiences. It will be so interesting when they finally get back together (whenever that will happen).

Yay for Janice arriving! XD They'll be a boisterous pair. *chuckles* Wow! Dario's gonna be a daddy! Everyone else will _FLIP_ when they hear this news! XD Norris looks a -little- safer, considering what _could_ have happened to him. And hmm... Glenn's safe, for the -moment-. Until a "certain game event" comes to pass, at least.

Interesting events so far, with many more to come, no doubt! And I'm looking forward to 'em all. :D

Ah, Rachel... You are so neat. I adore you. *Smile* THis is a very sweet chapter, though I still would have personally bitch slapped Dario...I can't wait for Gabi to show up... Dario almost got dead again! LOL. He's got alot of those almosts...Pretty darn cool!

Janice is so cute, and Karsh really needed her...Now Glenn and Nor have to deal with Francies, you know, he's screwed with the other two. I Vote for Norris being the one to end him once and for all. I am glad Karsh has Janice with him. She will end up being a great help I think. Until he finds the others again

Janice!? That's bold, maybe even a little risky. She isn't exactly one of the most popular characters from the game. But her being a demi-human gives her possibilities, especially for an author like you who is so good at creating character depth.

Ah, Dario/Rachel...*Smiling* I like Rachel as an OC, and I don't always like OCs. And I adore that statue, I think that statue should be used later... I really do. Dario needed this, needed this to change, and I like the changes he is going through...Great chapter! Good Dario!

I'm not sure the little note at the end was really necessary.
I think you made a very good choice giving Dario a love interest, his character seems so boring and stereotypical (in the game lore) it's nice to see him a little more realistic. A teenage boy around a pretty girl who wants to be with him, what boy that age wouldn't go for it? (Glenn maybe...;).)

Ep, I was having trouble getting the review link to work when I first read this and I ended up almost forgetting to review.

It looks like Norris' side of the story could be coming to a resolution (or not, this Ridgefield characters more then a little shady).

The name Braquer made me think of Barker, Benjamin Barker. Heh, no visits to the barber are in store I hope.

Oh, and though I'm a little late, Happy Birthday!

Poor Norris! *Hugs the Norris* I adore him so very much and feel so bad for him. I know why he did it, but silly should have stayed around and talked with Karsh...I think it would have helped...RUnning off in a panic never helps. I adore Max so much...he's a bastard, but not because he's being cruel, just because he's a bastard. Can't wait to see the resolution of Norris's side of hte story
