Dream
Just a dream that showed up, I have permission from the people here to write them in.



An agent came rushing in hoping to catch Chase, they had found something in the middle of the training field. They had been engaged in a training operation, when they had stumbled upon something.




"Chase sir, can you help her?" Called the agent.
"Help who?" Replied Chase stepping out of the office, and noticing the agent carrying a towel.
"Her, I don't know how hurt she is." They replied concerned.




Taking the towel, Chase opened it to reveal a falcon that was quiet but otherwise alive and had one drooping wing . It was a prairie falcon who was just old enough to be a fledgeling. Chase looked her over but determined that she seemed otherwise unhurt. However a a precaution he wanted to keep an eye on her. So she was sent to the animal action team for the night, and chase thought nothing more of it. Though he was wondering, why the bird had shown up in the first place.


The next morning the falcon was up but did not seem to be disturbed by it's new surroundings. In fact she seemed to be rather happy, and when chase walked into the room she called at him repeatedly. Moving closer she got quiet, but continued to look at him as if gazing into his soul. Eventually Chase brought out his old falconing gear, and moved her to his office for the day. The falcon was rather content to stay there, and slept most of the time, but woke up the moment Chase came into the room.



Over the next few days it seemed to get better, but was acting more like a hand raised bird than a wild one. They did find a leg band, and later found out the bird had been abandoned, though the one who did it was not found. Chase was not really sure he wanted another one after he had let one back into the wild. Right now he was talking to Ivy about the new recruits and the progress they were making. He did not notice Invader entering the office to do some basic cleaning.


"Hi there." She said to the bird. "You are a lovely gal."


The falcon, just sat there and took a long look at her, only to fly straight at her. Invader was started at first, but let the falcon land on her arm. After it did the bird started to make soft noises at her and snugged next to her as best as it could. Hesitantly she reached out and started to pet it. In turn the bird started singing at her, and Invader felt herself falling into a sleep like state. Moving to the chair she sat in it, and nodded off with her head leaning against her chest, the falcon moved closer to her and decided to sleep as well.


"Chase, she is no longer on her perch." Called Sophie who was walking by.

"What!" Exclaimed Chase turning to his office door, that was slightly ajar.

Opening it he saw that she was now sitting in Invaders lap fast asleep, and Invader was sleeping too. He was hesitant to open the door any further lest he disturb the two. There was an air of kinship about the two of them, though he knew not why.

"Hey Chase!" Called Ivy "I have the reports you wanted."

Chase motioned for Ivy to be quiet, before pointing at his office. Ivy a bit puzzled walked over and looked into the room.

"I think those two are meant to be together." Said Ivy.
"What makes you think that?" Inquired Chase.
"They both have broken wings, but are determined to fly again." Ivy Replied.
"I was not planing on keeping her." Remarked Chase. "Much less give her a name."
"Her name is serendipity." Mumbled Invader in her sleep. "She was abandoned."

Chase just looked at Invader puzzled, as the falcon gave a soft call at the name that was spoken.

"So now what?" Teased Ivy.
"I can teach her." Replied Chase.
"Have fun with the two of them." Mused Ivy. "Good luck to you."
"I think it will take more than luck." Replied Chase.

The end.

I love your story Invader. I had to say "Awwww" but one thing puzzles me, Chase let Phoenix go in the wild? I'm just wondering and if so, I'm a little bit saddened. umm where is Phoenix on the current timeline?

This story takes place in an alternative universe in my head.

Right, I got that but I'm just wondering where is she currently in the Role Play, either in Retro or where-ever else. Is she with Chase? does he still have her?

I have not Incorporated her into anything recently, I can give her a go in my next story. As for role play I am not able to join in yet, so I just write stories in the meantime.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
