Nice! Good imagery of his appearance in a few sentences. Strong emotions expressed in one paragraph. Makes the reader want more--is it really him, and he just doesn't want her anymore? Is she seeing him in every man she sees? Good job! :)

I like all those game ideas, Iesha, especially the name one.

New Method for Coming Up with Last Names:
Go to Google. Type in "site:facebook.com", exactly like that. Now type in the name (not a surname; this doesn't work very well with surnames) you came up with for your character in front of that. Search. Page through your results. These are names real people have, names parents have thought sounded good with certain last names.

Note: This will not work well if your character name is something fantasy-like, like Katniss (wonder where I got THAT from) or something.

Incidentally, MC is Mira. +shrugs+ Don't ask.

Really cool idea!

Good, I'm glad. :)

Yay, no problem. ;)

Memo from Agent 5 to Professor Ardent:

Sir, I think you should see what we discovered on ex-target's systems. If only for a laugh...or head-scratch. We are blinking in confusion.

I looooove Google translate for coming up with names and other stuff. Need spells? Google translate. Place names? Google translate. Fantasy-like names? Google translate. Magical/fantasy object names? Google translate. :D For example, I looked up "beautiful world" (http://translate.google.com/#auto/eo/...) in Esperanto. Bela mondo...hm...magical world named Belamondo? Sure.
One of the million reasons I love Google.
