    Zachery Monaghan took a moment to look at the small object in Nace Bilby's hands. He had never seen one before, but had read about them online. A Farsi website he found while researching Deepnet channels talked about how they were volatile for car bombs and that an additional safety mechanism...

    Zack followed Ivy's instructions and made his way up the stairs and across a few buildings to where the other Junior Detectives were. "Thugs on the street? Sounds like a tough life you had. I just run from the neighbor's pitbull when he sees me on my skateboard." The detectives continued on...

    Zack started to head down towards the other detectives, keeping in mind to check and make sure he had his navigation gear. The last thing he wanted to do was get lost in a place like this. That's strange. Where is everyone? He checked his communicator again, there was the message from Jason...

    Zack mentally took down notes of what Jason West did. He rarely used pen and paper in classes. His eidetic memory was one of the gifts he was born with. He believed though that this could have been the only gift he was really born with, it aided him in the ability to pick up languages and...

    "Ready as I'll ever be, Mr. We-- Jason." Zack replied, giving a mock salute and standing in attention. He was glad to finally be given an opportunity to work on something that would draw more of a challenge. Having learned to read and write at the age of two, Zack's first real experience with...

    Zack was drinking a generic ACME-brand electrolyte drink and nearly did a spite-take when he saw Lee on the display. A few other Junior Detectives broke out into light chuckles. He wondered if any of the instructors saw them goofing around. "Copy, Agent Jordan," he tried to not laugh over the...

    Zack nearly jumped. "That sounds good to me, Mr. We-- I mean, Jason." He took a moment to look over the equipment, there were parts there he already recognised but a lot of the things were still wrapped up and tagged, making it impossible for the Junior Detective to guess what was coming in...

    Zack took one of the orange juices and tired to act as cool as Ivy did, tossing his own oversized military-jacket over a chair only to have it gleam off the edge and fall onto the floor. Luckily, his sister asked an open question about the field trip at the time, and everyone's attention was...

    In Character, Out of Character, it don't matter. What are you thankful for? Zack is thankful for V.I.L.E. because without them, we would be out of job. He's also glad Carmen is out there to give the world a challenge, 'cause it could always be some other terrible supervillian. (OOC: And as...

    Zack Monaghan had an eventful first week at ACME. He was enrolled in @Jason West's technology class, @Nace Bilby's Firearms class and @Sophie Conrad's Survival Skills class. Surprisingly, this was also a good opportunity for him to get to know the famous @Chase Devineaux. Zack hadn't missed a...

    Zack smiled at the woman who joined their group. She seemed really talkative, and friendly, which was calming to him because usually he was the one that kept talking. "Hey there, Julie." he greeted, "I'm Zack Monaghan. This is my first year as a detective at ACME. Do you know who will be...

    Zack noticed that the teachers were starting to gather and that move forced the Junior Detectives gather together too. This allowed him to get a good look at everyone again, including the cute blonde girl he ran into earlier. She seemed to be a bit self conscious, as she hugged a big book. There...

    Zack laughed in his jaunty way, then mumbled a quiet answer. Lee was so quick witted. He could tell Ivy was not at all impressed, she had that indignant look on her face that she usually had when someone made a bad joke. Zack was usually that 'someone' but a lot of times with Ivy, dudes just...

    "Oh man, this is so awesome!" Zack Monaghan skateboarded towards the crowd of new junior detectives. Distracted by all the faces he slipped off course and came crashing into a tall blonde girl. He rolled just time to prop her up and keep her from falling, but that didn't stop him from clumsily...

    fun facts: Quokkas naturally look like they’re smiling because of the shape of their mouths. The internet adopted them as “the happiest animal,” though in reality they’re just little nocturnal marshmallow creatures trying to survive like everything else.

    Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?
