A perfectly steady, clear shot, as always. The sniper’s free hand sits wrapped around the walkie talkie, gently pushing the upper button with their index finger. A shit-eating grin wide across his face, the boy pressed the cold metal of the device to his cheek before speaking.
“On your six, soldier-boy. Over.”
Click. Caellach mimicked the gun sound with a soft pow, smiling. He could see the taller boy’s black braid - expertly done, if he did say so himself - from where he was crouched behind one of the fake plaza boards that were set up to mimic the “battle scene”, whatever that meant. Scarfing down a sandwich in one hand, the more worn of the two walkie talkies gripped in the other, Caellach watched in amusement as his current victim of harassment was now aggressively glancing around the perimeter of the faked warzone, searching for the familiar glint of a rifle’s barrel half-stuck out the window. As if I didn’t just tell him my location.
Caellach sighed, left-handed forefinger fiddling with the trigger in express boredom. It would be really funny to shoot the half eaten sandwich from his hand, but Caellach restrained himself - Cathal would have him running reverse-suicide drills all day if he so much as heard about it, and Angelo had a big ******* mouth. The walkie talkie buzzed in his hand.
“Cael, I’m going to strangle you to death if you shoot me with that ******* paintball gun again.” Pause. “Over.”
Caellach tsked, pulling the end of his rifle back through the window, lying it perpendicular to the battered oak-planked floor, barrel resting against the faded lime-colored wallpaper riddled with bullet holes. Settling himself down into a more comfortable position, Caellach hummed softly to himself as his fingers absently went to the tarnished fidget key-chain clipped onto the belt-loop of his trousers. Should be starting within the next half hour. Cathal said that stick-up-the-arse italian was arriving at eight on the dot, and that freak of a man is never late. Caellach shuddered thinking about it. He wasn’t an idiot - not sure if Cathal was relying on idiocy here for such a poorly kept secret - but he of all people would recognize that nose, those eyes, the stance and the demeanor anywhere. Whether Cathal had somehow located and talked up an exact Angelo father-figure lookalike or it wasn’t just sheer coincidence, Angelo still somehow seemed completely unaware. He sighed again. He loved the boy to bloody hell and back, but sometimes his lack of eyes or semblance of critical thinking skills was gold medal worthy.
Caellach leaned his head backwards against the wall, sighing. Twenty three minutes to pass. And he left his damn notebook at home.
. . .
Keeping your eyes open is something probably important when there’s someone standing in front of you with a knife. It was difficult to concentrate - one eye sort of half lidded from the actively bleeding cut dripping wet blood, the other straining to keep focus on Aledesso’s eyes and not the obnoxiously long hair that was somehow never matted. At least it was a good sign the head injury he took from the taller man’s knife hilt wasn’t too bad - I probably would have asked for a shampoo routine otherwise.
“Cutting the throat is messy. Avoid it. Blood stains for a long time. You only need ten pounds of pressure to compress the windpipe and forty pounds to crush it.” The dispassionate voice of his so called teacher was fading in and out- God, that headache was killing me. I hope Caellach wasn’t here to watch. He’d have tried to tell off the damn soldier himself, and then gotten himself beaten. Or shot. “Brace your arms against each other and squeeze at forty-five degrees up behind the hinge of the jaw and he’s unconscious in seconds.” Aledesso spoke with a deep set frown in his features, not caring to lean down to where I was sprawled out from taking the nasty beating. The bruises were going to take days to fade.The man paused slightly, his eyes taking in my likely pitiful condition. Which was his damn fault in the first place. How the hell am I supposed to parry a knife shot to the sternum? I mean, if I were trying to kill him I-
“The best way to kill with a knife is angled upward below the 3rd rib.” Aledesso resumes, as if reading my mind. Honestly, not even an unlikely possibility. Father’smysterious “friend” only showed up to beat the crap out of me and what I assumed was beating the crap out of my own father as well - his in a much more consensual manner. Or maybe it was reversed in that case.
“-you avoid the breastbone and stab directly into the heart. Very difficult to avoid if you manage to get a front ended grapple off. Angelo. Are you paying attention?” Aledesso’s frown deepened, if that were even possible. His eyes were captivating, in the way I could only really assume a lame deer felt staring into the eyes of a grizzly bear. Shite. I should respond. The damn blood loss is making my head swim.
“Yes..sir. Knife, angles upwards. Third rib. Provided you’re in a good grappling position.”
Aledesso tsks, holding a callused hand out to help me up. I’d only ever seen the man with calluses on his hands - his skin was strangely unblemished, besides the laceration scars, and he had never worn anything outside of the roughhewn military attire with fitted kevlar. Actually, now that I think about it, I’ve never actually seen the man holding his own gun.
“Are you going to stand, or should I take the next lesson into what to do when your opponent is in high mount?” Aledesso spoke sharply, pale eyes still level with mine. I reached a hand out to grasp his - damn that ****er’s hands were cold - stumbling back onto my feet like an unsteady fawn in spring. He continued to speak, not waiting for me to regain composure. “Never be caught on the ground first unless it’s by your own choice. Almost all one on one fist fights will end up on the floor, but you must be the one to initiate it.” He pauses. “And your answer was incorrect. Your knife strike will be fatal and something to aim for whether or not you’ve gotten the grapple - always, always go for the kill. We fight to win, Angelo, not for glory, nor for honor. There is no such thing as dying with honor in battle. In death, we are all the same.”
I could feel my knees trembling, vision going black. Aledesso only watched, knowingly, as if wondering when I’d give in and tell him I’d need to sit down. Ha… like I need a break. Never accept defeat, he had told me in my first lesson. I.. could see the sky now. Still blue, still cloudless. It’s the last thing I could remember before my body keeled over backwards into the pavement.

Keeping your eyes open is something probably important when there’s someone standing in front of you with a knife. It was difficult to concentrate - one eye sort of half lidded from the actively bleeding cut dripping wet blood, the other straining to keep focus on Aledesso’s eyes and not the obnoxiously long hair that was somehow never matted. At least it was a good sign the head injury he took from the taller man’s knife hilt wasn’t too bad - I probably would have asked for a shampoo routine otherwise.
“Cutting the throat is messy. Avoid it. Blood stains for a long time. You only need ten pounds of pressure to compress the windpipe and forty pounds to crush it.” The dispassionate voice of his so called teacher was fading in and out- God, that headache was killing me. I hope Caellach wasn’t here to watch. He’d have tried to tell off the damn soldier himself, and then gotten himself beaten. Or shot. “Brace your arms against each other and squeeze at forty-five degrees up behind the hinge of the jaw and he’s unconscious in seconds.” Aledesso spoke with a deep set frown in his features, not caring to lean down to where I was sprawled out from taking the nasty beating. The bruises were going to take days to fade.The man paused slightly, his eyes taking in my likely pitiful condition. Which was his damn fault in the first place. How the hell am I supposed to parry a knife shot to the sternum? I mean, if I were trying to kill him I-
“The best way to kill with a knife is angled upward below the 3rd rib.” Aledesso resumes, as if reading my mind. Honestly, not even an unlikely possibility. Father’smysterious “friend” only showed up to beat the crap out of me and what I assumed was beating the crap out of my own father as well - his in a much more consensual manner. Or maybe it was reversed in that case.
“-you avoid the breastbone and stab directly into the heart. Very difficult to avoid if you manage to get a front ended grapple off. Angelo. Are you paying attention?” Aledesso’s frown deepened, if that were even possible. His eyes were captivating, in the way I could only really assume a lame deer felt staring into the eyes of a grizzly bear. Shite. I should respond. The damn blood loss is making my head swim.
“Yes..sir. Knife, angles upwards. Third rib. Provided you’re in a good grappling position.”
Aledesso tsks, holding a callused hand out to help me up. I’d only ever seen the man with calluses on his hands - his skin was strangely unblemished, besides the laceration scars, and he had never worn anything outside of the roughhewn military attire with fitted kevlar. Actually, now that I think about it, I’ve never actually seen the man holding his own gun.
“Are you going to stand, or should I take the next lesson into what to do when your opponent is in high mount?” Aledesso spoke sharply, pale eyes still level with mine. I reached a hand out to grasp his - damn that ****er’s hands were cold - stumbling back onto my feet like an unsteady fawn in spring. He continued to speak, not waiting for me to regain composure. “Never be caught on the ground first unless it’s by your own choice. Almost all one on one fist fights will end up on the floor, but you must be the one to initiate it.” He pauses. “And your answer was incorrect. Your knife strike will be fatal and something to aim for whether or not you’ve gotten the grapple - always, always go for the kill. We fight to win, Angelo, not for glory, nor for honor. There is no such thing as dying with honor in battle. In death, we are all the same.”
I could feel my knees trembling, vision going black. Aledesso only watched, knowingly, as if wondering when I’d give in and tell him I’d need to sit down. Ha… like I need a break. Never accept defeat, he had told me in my first lesson. I.. could see the sky now. Still blue, still cloudless. It’s the last thing I could remember before my body keeled over backwards into the pavement.
*Nice!!*
*Indeed. Perfection.*

Hiya, there! I'm Gonzalo2, but you can just call me Gonz! (Don't ask about what happened to Gonzalo1.) I'm just an ADHD theater nerd who has too much time on my hands and too little sleep! I'm usually at Camp Half-Blood, which I moderate, and have seventeen characters on. Like I said, too much time on my hands, too little sleep.
"I plan on trying as soon as I can.. Wanna come with?"
"Hm...I wouldn't be against it, since I know my way back here. Plus you will probably need help dealing with whatever threats come your way while trying to make it home..."
"... Why would you want to come back? The people here are mostly horrible.."
"There are some good people here too. Plus my parents would be upset if I just up and left summer camp to do whatever." Noctis says chuckling. "No judgement for you not wanting to be here though, it is pretty insane sometimes."
"... Ive only ever met you and one other person who was even decent here. You and a pink haired girl. Why are there so many creeps and [GP]holes??"
"I'd tell you, but I want to respect your desire to not talk about such things. We are just a strange group, some physically, some mentally, some both..."

*angelo cutscene I wrote up as a warmup*
SUNDAY, 5/02/1979
A perfectly steady, clear shot, as always. The sniper’s free hand sits wrapped around the walkie talkie, gently pushing the upper button with their index finger. A shit-eating grin wide across his face, the boy pressed the cold metal of the device to his cheek before speaking.
“On your six, soldier-boy. Over.”
Click. Caellach mimicked the gun sound with a soft pow, smiling. He could see the taller boy’s black braid - expertly done, if he did say so himself - from where he was crouched behind one of the fake plaza boards that were set up to mimic the “battle scene”, whatever that meant. Scarfing down a sandwich in one hand, the more worn of the two walkie talkies gripped in the other, Caellach watched in amusement as his current victim of harassment was now aggressively glancing around the perimeter of the faked warzone, searching for the familiar glint of a rifle’s barrel half-stuck out the window. As if I didn’t just tell him my location.
Caellach sighed, left-handed forefinger fiddling with the trigger in express boredom. It would be really funny to shoot the half eaten sandwich from his hand, but Caellach restrained himself - Cathal would have him running reverse-suicide drills all day if he so much as heard about it, and Angelo had a big ******* mouth. The walkie talkie buzzed in his hand.
“Cael, I’m going to strangle you to death if you shoot me with that ******* paintball gun again.” Pause. “Over.”
Caellach tsked, pulling the end of his rifle back through the window, lying it perpendicular to the battered oak-planked floor, barrel resting against the faded lime-colored wallpaper riddled with bullet holes. Settling himself down into a more comfortable position, Caellach hummed softly to himself as his fingers absently went to the tarnished fidget key-chain clipped onto the belt-loop of his trousers. Should be starting within the next half hour. Cathal said that stick-up-the-arse italian was arriving at eight on the dot, and that freak of a man is never late. Caellach shuddered thinking about it. He wasn’t an idiot - not sure if Cathal was relying on idiocy here for such a poorly kept secret - but he of all people would recognize that nose, those eyes, the stance and the demeanor anywhere. Whether Cathal had somehow located and talked up an exact Angelo father-figure lookalike or it wasn’t just sheer coincidence, Angelo still somehow seemed completely unaware. He sighed again. He loved the boy to bloody hell and back, but sometimes his lack of eyes or semblance of critical thinking skills was gold medal worthy.
Caellach leaned his head backwards against the wall, sighing. Twenty three minutes to pass. And he left his damn notebook at home.
