Actual Role playing:
Sky's eyes darted from one side of the road to the next, he was beginning to get a bad feeling. He had ran across the street many times but it felt like this would be his last. Just as he backed up and jumped off the sidewalk, Walter, the local hobo, had oddly enough ran out before him.
Sky was shocked as a large van zoomed around the corner, hitting poor Walter with a crack and a splat.
Sky never did cross the road after that. Never EVER again...
