"So I'm kneeling," E-13 growled at B-7, eyeing her knife. "And maybe, so what if they are? What are we supposed to do about it if horses are gonna come out of nowhere and use mind magic?"
Still, if she was right. Beach, Lighthouse, Town, Cove, Cornfield. What was that? Sixty-something guys. ...Well, less now, obviously.
If he'd actually been able to do math, he'd realize there were over a hundred.

"So what?! Death-on-Hooves will not like it and will END US ALL!!" Before declared with wild gesticulations, then promptly slumped forward, face-down in despair. "Oh God, why don't we remember why we're here? It would help make sense of things," he whimpered into the dirt, then lifted his head up to yell, "SOMEONE JUST STAY STANDING SO YOU CAN GET THE ******** PENDANT AND BECOME THE ******** TARGET FOR THE NEXT SEVEN, uh, FIVE, no, REST OF THE WEEK!"
He is tired and scared and just wants to get as FAR AWAY from the monster pony as possible. And no, he doesn't really care if Boss loses respect for him and his whining. He'll still be her meat shield.

Bix was with Before. And apparently now he was with E-13 too, all of them sitting on the ground and waiting for something to happen. He looked rather miserable, his shoulders shuddering every couple of seconds out of worry and frustration and that DAMN ACHING from being slammed around by SUPERPONY.
"I don't want the stupid pendant." He snorted again and rubbed dirt off of the lenses of his gas mask. At the same time he eyed E-13 warily. Was it safe to get comfortable with someone who could be considered the enemy? He had a knife! He could shank any one of them at any moment.
"WHICH OF YOU DOUCHES WANTS THE DAMN PENDANT?" He screamed at the few figures who were still fighting. "Cause we don't. Kill each other or whatever.. but make it FAST DAMMIT!"
He went so far as to pound his fists into the ground like a kid with a tantrum. Before was right. There were other teams and they COULD be headed here to kill them. And if there was a monster pony thing, who knows what else could be around. At the rate they were murdering each other they wouldn't even make it 7 days!

"I'm thinking something similar is happening elsewhere," She frowned at E-13; of course, she was referring to the other locations on the map, but they won't be able to know for sure until they leave the cornfield... Which is not happening any time soon, "I do not want the pendent either. Tch, I'll kneel once I have my fill..." Fill of revenge anyway.
She also whacked Beta Four on the back of his head for good measure.
"Zip it, like anyone would want that pendent after hearing you say that," She rolled her eyes before turning to Beta Six, "Heh, shall we leave soon then? Nobody wants that stupid pendent."

"Alright, look, hold on, what I'm saying is," he double-checked himself this time, looking at the more recent carnage. He couldn't see the carnage from the old bodies anymore...did the Blue guys say disappeared? But it was probable the horse had eaten them. "What I'm saying is that at the rate we're going, and with the other guys too...there's slots open on both teams, right? For Thirteen people." He tapped the number on his helmet.
"...And by the end of the week, between blue and pink fighting the other guys, there'd probably be about Thirteen of us total still around, right?"

He was caught off guard, the beast had struck out and he was unprepared for it not to mention that he didn't see the three attacks that were swiftly excited to dispose of him until after the pain had seeped into his body.
"s**t… looks like I'm out of the count now eh, well I don't plan on dying so soon sorry beta members that I couldn't join your comrades in peace," he replied in a bit of a mocking tone, truthfully he was rather afraid he didn't want to die so soon and definently didn't want to die at the hands of the beta team. Grabbing his things he gave them a bit of a wave.
"Sorry to disappointment but unfortunately I know when its time to leave, Pinks I'll be back" saying his farewell he took off he had little concern in taking the pendant from the beast.

Three wasn't sure if it was her target running off..or just that one satisfying hit for vengeance that cleared her head a little bit, it seemed like some of the blues and pinks were mingling a little bit away and someone was shouting about the pendant.
Breathing heavily she looked for 8's body but it had disappeared along with all the others. unsure of what else to do she wandered over to the mixed team group and dropped to the ground before the pony monster decided to smite them again. he managed to get there in time to hear the suggestion of joining forces and while she didn't like the pink team...she did want to live through this and...and better the monster you know then the one you don't right?
"...it makes a certain bit of sense" she contributed to the conversation.

E-12 had been raising her knife again, ready to slash at whatever blue-clad figure crossed her path when suddenly she was being crushed. An inexorable force pushed her to the ground, squeezing the breath and the life from her body. She opened her mouth to scream, but no sound could escape. That, too, was squeezed from her.
Lying on the ground, fighting desperately to catch her breath, was what finally calmed E-12 down. Her ragged breaths turned to sobs. What had she done? She’d killed another living person. E-3 was dead! And for what? A stupid necklace? E-12 didn’t even want the necklace. She’d gotten caught up in a blood frenzy and people were forced to pay for it with their lives.
Just don’t get up. It would be so easy just to lay there. But something told E-12 to fight on. Not with her knife this time, but with her heart. E-12 had to live so that the rest of her team might survive. She’d put herself into the role of protector and, even though she’d failed at it thus far, she had to stick with it.
E-12 pushed herself up painfully to a semi-prone position and scanned her surroundings. She saw several Beta Team members gang up on E-5, but was helpless to stop it. No more fighting. E-12 smiled her first real smile since this whole mess had started when she saw E-5 make her escape.
We’ll find you soon, she thought. The Pink Team had to stick together, now more than ever.

Missing out on the final blows blew. BX was not going to let this one get away. Looming over E5, the female beta had turned her head at hearing B4 and B7 speaking with E13, allowing her prey out of her gaze just for a moment; that was all it took.
X tried to chase after him, but in an attempt to do so lost her footing and fell. That creature got her better than she has figured. All of the adrenaline rushing through her probably gave her the energy to fight, but now it began to dissipate... until she heard the tone in her fleeing prey's voice. Disgusting... distasteful...disembody it. A whisper in her head informed her of this vile disregard for her right to utterly destroy something. How dare they.
X's body shook violently and she gripped onto her suit at the chest, nearly hyperventilating. She felt as though she should remove the suit and mask and scream at the top of her lungs.
Calculating... calculating
this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand
Calculating... calculating
this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand this will not stand
Shaking her head as if to remove the high-pitched squeals of disapproval in her head, X wriggled to get into a kneeling position right where she was; close enough to hear the others, but far enough to still note the route E5 took to escape. She had to continue watching that spot by every fiber of her being...speaking to the creature again.
"I submit to kneeling as agreed"
She had her reasons. Reasons which were enough to make her a minion to a devil (or whatever it was) rather than it's prey.
"I'll see you again" X tried to recall the patch on the arm of the pink figure that escaped and voiced it over and over in her head silently. No emotion in her movements was visible now; her body was as still as stone in its position.

BXI remained on the ground after the giant horse forced them all there. She curled into a ball, hands over her face as the anonymous pink demons stabbed and shot at her. After what seemed like an eternity the torment ceased and she almost welcomed the horrible feeling that her life was about to end. But... She was given a reprieve. The creature released her once again and sweet, humid air rushed into her lungs.
With a sudden burst of adrenaline borne of all-consuming terror, BXI jumped to her feet and ran wildly into the corn, her mindless shrieks echoing behind her.
[ BXI has fled. ]

Damn it. Damn this stupid horse! After the painful pressure had let off, E-4 pushed herself onto her knees with a groan, her body aching in protest as she did so. So except for one person, they couldn't rise unless they wanted the pendant, right? Well, she didn't want it...but there was a thought that was bothering her. What would happen if none of them accepted it? Would there be one less pendant floating around once it was the final day of this game? That would make things a lot harder for the survivors, she mused, chewing on her lip contemplatively, Maybe I should--no. I can't. The last thing she wanted was to shove herself into the spotlight, especially when she overhead E-13 speaking to some of the other team members to the side.
More teams in the other areas? Why had that thought never crossed her mind? It was plausible but, in that case, they would be incredibly outnumbered. If there were two teams per every spot on the map, and if they had to go up against each other at some point...
E-4 shuddered, crawling towards E-13 just as he made a suggestion that caused E-4 to freeze. Was he...suggesting joining forces? After all this? Moving up to him, she lowered her voice to as soft as she could manage, "Thirteen, a...are you sure about this? After what...what we've done, and what they did..." She wasn't sure if it was possible to pinpoint one team as the one at fault here--blue had been the first to attack, but pink had been the first to kill. Either way, she knew that members of both teams probably held grudges against one another, and to suggest they form an alliance...
It made sense, assuming that there really were other groups out there that were just waiting to kill them, but it made E-4 a little uneasy as well. However, instead of voicing any more concerns, she jerked her head in the direction of the horse. "The pendant...do you think we should just leave it, then? Or should one of us go for it?"

B3 jerked her head up as BXI suddenly stood up and ran screaming into the corn - she recalled seeing the attack she had taken - it had happened about the same time th fiends had been attacking Bait...and she had thought the girl was dead as well - she should have noticed that her body hadn't dissapeared with the others..and now she was running blindly into the corn "No! BXI Wait!" She tried to call her back..but it was too late and dropping her hand he looked back to the others.
A mixed group now and like E4, Three wasn't entirely happy with the prospect, but look how they had dwindled? What other choice did they have. "Whatever we're going to do about it we better choose quick - I doubt he's going to wait much longer" She remarked with a nod towards the horse thing. "I don't know if it's better to leave it for another group...or keep it with ...our groups,whats left of them anyways...."

ε XI coughed as she hit the ground. It hurt more than the stupid rubber bullets from the gun she'd been shot with earlier. It was enough to knock some sense into her. Many of the εpsilon group were seriously injured and some were fleeing. ε V was in serious trouble and there were others--on both sides--who were equally near death. The one they'd been attacking only moments before was also gone. She still didn't even have a clue what number she'd been and might have found it ironic in some way if she'd realized it was β XI, her parallel.
ε XI got up from her prone position on the ground, but didn't stand completely. Call it a crouch, call it kneeling. Either way, she didn't want to get hit with invisible force again. Who the hell would have signed up for this? It wasn't sane! She looked around her not ready to get up and attack again, but certainly wary of those who might attack her. Where was their medic? Above all else, they needed to make sure she was safe.
ε XI HP left: 22

"Sure, hell, what do you mean what they did? We did the same thing. I wasn't blood-brothers with any of those guys, we just woke up in the same tent," He said to E-4, "and I'm not suggesting we kiss and make up, just pointing out the numbers at work here."
There was the horse, too.
Horse magic made him nervous.

"That's why I also said what we've done, Thirteen. We're both guilty, and that's what's bothering me here." Did it make sense for her to be paranoid? E-4 certainly thought so. They could form an alliance with the other team, but how long would that last with all these grudges floating about? Honestly though, in the back of her mind, E-4 found it rather disturbing how she could place so much trust in someone simply based off of what colors they were wearing.
Finally, after a moment of thought, she sighed, "I...fine, I'm up for this idea. You're right about the numbers thing, and if some of the blue team decides to join," she paused to incline her head towards B-3 and the others, "Then I'll promise not to attack any of them...so long as they don't attack any of us first, that is."
They weren't expected to forgive each other--which was good, because E-4 wasn't sure such a thing was possible--but maybe they could work together to take out the other teams first. As for what happens after that...she didn't want to think about it right now.
