comfortably numb

Nicholas Evans, 18, that's about all you need to know

[atsldean-deactivated20150618]

Everyone’s all upset about it. It’s really depressing.

[stfunicholas]

About leaving or being here? Cause I've experienced both. 

[tracexlevins-blog]

You may have mentioned no school once or twice.

[stfunicholas]

Ah, well. It's one of the best things about being here, I dare say. 

[tbfhscarlett-deactivated2015022]

I don’t think I ever want to leave Miami. It has the perfect weather.

[stfunicholas]

Let's just stay here. They can't make us go back if they can't find us. 

[stfunicholas]

I'm not sure if I'm ready to head back yet. I quite like Miami. It's realxing, no school, warm, no school. Did I mention no school?

Did someone lose their pet? Because I think I might be keeping it.

[stfunicholas]

I didn't, but I'm happy to take it off your hands if you don't want it!

How does Moses make tea? ……. Hebrews it

[stfunicholas]

That almost funny.

They were little bad asses. Yeah, I think? Wasn’t it like… MaxMotives? I know that I used motherlode to be fucking rich. Then I used the tombstone cheat? Its been a while. IT WAS. They finally shut them up. Poor little Gertrude I killed in a fire. She was actually the good one, but I was high one night when I played it and realized that was her name so i decided to put her out of her misery.

[stfunicholas]

No the testingcheatsenabled true one. It allowed you to freeze their mood so they'd always be happy, and you could choose a career for them as well. I used to freeze it until they had the qualifications required to become whatever I wanted them to be, and then I'd take it off and play normally. Oh  my god, poor Gertrude. Must she rest in peace.

You don’t understand though! There were sooo many children and they wouldn’t do what I told them! Like go to school, do their homework, the baby was going rampant! Things in the house were breaking?! So I made it better for myself. But then I got really loney…

[stfunicholas]

Wow, such rebels your children. Did you never just use the code that would force them into happy mode? That would be a lot easier than drowning them. Though, I suppose it was very effective! 

[615hq-blog]

Not gonna lie, I made a sims character once and he legit got his wife pregnant with soooo many kids. Then I drowned them all in the pool. I think their ghost hate me.

[stfunicholas]

Oh my god. I can't blame them, though. I would hate you too if you drowned me in the pool.

Distractions ~ Trace&Nick

[tracexlevins-blog]

Trace didn’t think he could handle it when Jasper left again. He promised he wouldn’t. He promised before and he had done it again. After hiding away in his hotel room and crying for a while, Trace had managed to calm himself down by convincing himself that Jasper was coming back. He had left and come back twice so why would this time be any different? He would just have to wait a little while. He just needed to find a way to distract himself until he came back so he decided to find his friend and hangout with him. He made sure he had his key and his wallet before heading down to the lobby to meet Nick. “Yeah, I’m fine.” he gave the boy a small smile. “Uh, we could just walk around and see if anything catches our eye?”

[stfunicholas]

Nick gave the other another smile, deciding not to push him any further. He was sure if Trace wanted to talk about what had happened he would tell him. It was usually the best way to approach these things, Nick had learned over the years. "Yeah, we can do that. I saw some cool places further down the street earlier on. Also I found T.G.I Friday's if you should get hungry, they have the best food." Nick announced cheerfully as they made their way out of the hotel.

[stfunicholas]

I made a sim of myself, and he died, but sometimes he comes back as a ghost to play on the computer. That does sound about right.

Surfboard || Troy & Nick

[michael-fs]

The boy bit his lip as the other pulled him into the water a little more, he really needed to get a grip and calm himself down. Troy watched intently while Nick strapped his ankle, for a reason unknown to him but he realized it was probably so he wouldn’t lose the board or something. “Okay, then I just kind of push myself?” He said this because of what he’d seen people do in movies and such. “Thanks, for helping me.” Troy grinned and then put his focus on the task at hand, taking a deep breath.

[stfunicholas]

"Yeah." Nick said with a bright smile, looking up at the other. He had a grip on the board so he wouldn't float away from him, looking over the water. "The waves aren't very big today, so that's a good thing for a beginner." He noted before turning to look at the other. "Just push yourself up to stand on the board. Try having your feet on the middle that way you can easily lean it to the side you need it to lean to. It's kind of like skateboarding, but on water." He explained, watching the other. "Ready to give it a go? I can hold the board for you the first time. Don't mention it, I'm always happy to help."

Distractions ~ Trace&Nick

Hearing about Jasper leaving was upsetting to Nick. He had always got along with him well, and he couldn't even imagine how Trace was feeling at the moment. Grabbing his money and phone, Nick headed down to the lobby to wait for his friend to show up. He checked some of the brochures in the lobby trying to find something that could possibly be interesting enough for Trace to want to do today. Looking up he saw the other approach, offering him a soft smile. "Hey. You feeling okay to go out?" He asked, wanting to be sure. "I've found a couple of things, I don't know what you'd be up for doing?" he held up a couple of brochures to the other. "or we could just walk around."

Surfboard || Troy & Nick

[michael-fs]

Troy felt like a lost little puppy, following Nick’s every move, but he knew better than him so Troy had every reason to trust him. The wink caught him by surprise, but all he did was smile in response, he had no idea what to say. The smaller boy made sure Nick had seen him nod before he walked into the water and took a seat down on the board, he had no idea what he was getting himself into and it was both frightening yet exciting at the same time. “What now?” He asked, his voice squeaking out of sudden fear.

[stfunicholas]

"Now," Nick pulled at the strap hanging from the board to pull it further into the water before stopping and turning back to the other boy. He fastened the strap around the other's foot, for safety reasons, before looking up at him again. "First of all, relax." He smiled some,  having detected a small squeak of fear in the other's tone. "Then when you're ready lay down on your stomach." He said, biting his lip. "And if you feel the need to go back on land, just tell me, and I'll turn around." He assured him.

"That’s a good thing, then?" He wasn’t too sure how to answer that, so it came off as more of a question than anything else. Troy felt like he was being really impolite, but he didn’t know how to change it but he figured a smile would do, so he grinned at the other, trying not to let the sight of him shirtless bother him. The boy figured he’d do it too, considering the situation and pulled his own off, placing it neatly on top of his towel. "Balance.. Right, well we’ll see how this goes, hmm?" He still had the smile on his face, hoping to give off a good impression. "Sure, you’ll get a good laugh." He was beginning to feel a little comfortable with Nick, which was a good start.

[stfunicholas]

Grabbing his board again, Nick gestured for Troy to follow him down to the water. "Oh come on, I can't imagine you'd be that bad. And if anything, I'll save you." He said with a playful wink in the other's direction. Once they were by the water Nick stepped in far enough to make the board float before turning to Troy. "Come and have a seat?" He said, pointing to the board with a smile playing over his lips again. Honestly he was both excited and a little bit nervous about this. He didn't want to make a fool of himself, probably half as much as the other male did.
