[ Beta Five is running for the pendant! ]
Beta Five had been trying to talk to E-1, but before she was able to respond, the horse thing...vanished.
Yep. Just vanished. Disappeared with a strange sort of laugh and faded into nothingness.
Or maybe it had just moved into the fog. Beta Five wasn't entirely sure, but what he was sure of was that it had left something behind - something shiny, slightly glowing, and important.
That damn pendant.
One quick glance around the camp told him that most - if not all - of the others had the same mindset as him. Which was: RUN FOR IT!
So he did.
I really need a hobby. Or maybe just a vacation.
Okay so he'd gotten pretty far, ahead of the rest of the squad for a little bit. Somehow Beta Five wasn't sure this would last - he was not a fast runner, after all, especially being weighed down by his gas mask and the bag on his back. If he didn't get the pendant, he would not be that disappointed, considering right now was more of a race to get his adrenaline pumping.
I just hope that stupid horse thing doesn't come back. Or that we don't all start attacking each other again, because that just sucked.
Beta Five really did not want to die again.

It was official. E-10 hated corn. She hated it, and if she ever had to see it again after this? She was going to destroy it. How? Uh...maybe she'd...blow it up? Burn it? Chop it to pieces? Ten didn't know how she was going to do it but she did know that at some point in the future she probably would have to see an ear of corn or two, and if she did she was going to do whatever it took to get her revenge on it.
Corn was evil and needed to be destroyed.
E-10 groaned and pushed herself back up to her feet, staring forlornly toward the floating pendant. She wanted it so badly, and she was greedy enough to do whatever it took to get it...just one more try. She couldn't just let someone else get it, she had to fight for it as best as she could...but at the same time, she couldn't turn on someone on her own squad, especially if she wanted to stay in their good graces. Ugh! This was hard!
Fine, if she couldn't fight them for it, she'd just continue to race for it.
Wait, what was that blur of blue that just ran past her? Ten's focus fell from the pendant for just a moment to see one of the other squad members running toward it as well. Oh hell no. She growled and reached for her gun, but it got stuck as she tried to pull it out of its holder. Crap! Crapcrapcrap! She looked down, while running, to try and pull it free. You'd think she'd be smart enough not to do that. Especially when she suddenly collided with a body, crying out in surprise and stumbling over whoever she'd just tripped over. She ended up half on top of E-13 and half...with her face in the ground.
Owwwww!

This corn really does suck, Beta Five thought idly as he ran, shoving aside the tall stalks. One of them whacked him in the face with a loud thwack (ow), which made him let out a grumbled swear, muffled by the mask. He stumbled a bit, catching a bit of blue on his left out of the corner of his eye, and some pink on the right. Beta Five wasn't entirely sure what sort of truce they were all under - he had completely missed that part of the conversation - but whatever it was, things still seemed a little tense.
He shrugged internally. No hard feelings on my part, at least, he thought, eyebrows drawing together as he gritted his teeth, pushing himself to run faster. He might have been a bit more bummed about the whole "let's kill everyone" thing, had it not been for the fact that he was, in fact, not as dead as he'd thought he was. But since he was still breathing (a little hard right now, considering what he was doing), it was all good, right?
...right.
Okay, so his legs were hurting, and his chest was heaving, and he heard a thump as someone behind him fell. Beta Five hesitated, catching a flash of pink, but he slowed down, jogging a few steps back to offer E-10 a hand.
"Can I help you up?" he asked, wondering if she would accept.

This..was embarrassing. She was too ashamed of herself to move even if she was on top of someone, using the theory of 'if I don't move no one will see me' right now. If she didn't move no one would see her. No one. Not even E-13. Why did her luck suck so badly? Why? What did she ever do to deserve this? You'd think basically signing her life away would give her better luck or something so she could live happily for whatever was left of her life. She really did want to survive this and she was damn determined to do so. So when she heard footsteps jogging her way and heard a voice directed at her she groaned and shook her head. Nooooooooo! This was too embarrassing! Go away! Go get your stupid pendant!
She rolled off E-13 and swatted away the blue dude's hand. "Thanks, but no thanks. Clearly I am not destined to be on my feet." She did kind of appreciate the offer, but right now she was incredibly grateful to the gas mask covering her entire face; she was blushing hotly, completely mortified by her own incompetence. She wanted to lay here for awhile and not draw attention to herself.

Beta Five held up both of his hands. "Woah now, just trying to help," he said lightly, quirking a brow behind his mask. "Sorry for asking."
It was not as if he was taking pleasure from seeing the people around him - whether blue or pink, it didn't really matter - but he understood, at least, that E-10 had her own pride, which was good.
...either that, or he smelled funny. Beta Five hoped it was the former. Giving the other a small salute, he said "Good luck to you!" before turning and beginning his run back to the pendant.
Most unfortunately for Beta Five, he took about ten steps before a stalk of corn thwacked him in the face again and he found, quite disgustedly, that he was suddenly on the ground, surrounded on all sides by corn.
Well, he thought as he sat up, brushing stalks and leaves from the front of his mask. It was a good run to start off with, but now I'm just tired.

E-13 ended up in the middle of the struggle to get to the pendant, and he wasn't even going anywhere. "Wff! Hey, lay off, would you- oh, it's you, Ten."
She rolled off him.
B-5 came back to help her up, instead of going after the pendant. He wondered if B-5 was kinda dense. ...Dense like a fox. Nobody wanted that stupid thing. Not in the first couple days, anyway. After that, well.
E-13 sat up again, cringing. He wasn't doing so hot, but he was doing his best not to make a show of it. With the current atmosphere, it was better to suck it up.

As everyone trying for the pendant struggled and fell and stumbled towards the glowing beacon that the pendant had become B3 was beginning to wonder if anyone actually would make it to the pendant...though that was only a passing thought, what she really needed to think about was what she was going to do after this...she'd originally planned on sticking with B8..but then he'd died and that plan had been fubbered up or so she'd thought until other whom had fallen started showing up again.
Then she'd thought maybe he would too - but alas time had drug on and no B8 had shown back up, why had some of them been spared but not all? That was likely just as useless of a thought as 'why did a horse monster appear' or 'why did I agree to this in the first place'. All she really knew was that she wanted to live...and she thought such a goal would be easier reached in a group, going it alone seemed well..ridiculous to be honest and she'd rather stick with those she already knew - even if it was only barely knew, which somewhat helped with her dilemma..she wanted to stick with some of the blue..but by the sounds of it a few of them were planning to run off together and the 'team' such as it were was breaking up. Which begged the question..who did she want to tag along with - ugh all this was just going to give her headache and sighing she eyed everyone around her "I really think it would be best if we stuck together" She finally commented. "Safety in numbers and all"

There was a lot of animosity and resentment and dread (SO. MUCH. DREEAAAAAAAAAD) going around the group with their pseudo-truce and all this talk about who they are, why they signed up in the first place, and MORE GLOOM DOOM DEEAAAAAATH. So many people on this God forsaken place They might be plotting on stabbing each other in the back, or in the front, OR IN THE FACE!!! Thank God for these gas masks. Wait, were they thick enough to stop face-stabbing?
And suddenly Death-on-Hooves makes his grand exit and announcing the stupid, ******** that pretty much sent everyone into a spiraling FREE-FOR-ALL-KILL-EACH-OTHER-NAO-NAO-NAOOOOOO session -what was he saying? Oh yeah, Pendant is no longer just for whoever's standing. It's. For. Everyone.
He peered up and saw SO MANY PEOPLE GOING FOR IT!?
"What the-I thought the stupid ******** thing's supposed to be for E-1 McGregor (Whoa, where'd that come from?) or After to fight-to-the-death for?" :CCCCC He canted his head over to Boss and Bix and there was now talk of getting the ******** out of here! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
"OUTTA HERE! YES! PLEASE!! LETS GO!! BOSS, BIX, ET, CHEESE, AFTER, UH-" Quick check reveals E-10 and E-4, "HUNGRY, EFFORT, ANYONE ELSE??" Before did NOT want that pendant. He wasn't really sure if he knew what he wanted himself but he was sure the pendant WASN'T IT.

Oh man, someone in these two teams had to get the pendant. They probably shouldn't leave it floating there for the other teams to try grabbing, at least. So, E-4 continued to head towards it, trying her best to avoid slamming into or tripping over any of the others who were still kneeling on the ground. If someone else wanted it when she grabbed it, fine, she would hand it to them, so long as it was someone this group.
Then she heard someone reel off a list of names, and her gaze flickered to the caller quickly. That was...Before, right? That's what they called him? She nearly stumbled when he turned to look at her and called her "Effort", and she slowed her pace, "Do you usually name people at random?" E-4 called back, before gesturing at the pendant, "And sure, but...we can't leave this here, right?"
Well, in theory they could. If another team picked it up, they would just have to fight them for it once the last day rolled around. Slowing to a stop, E-4 considered the idea and tried to catch her breath. Even if she continued to run for it now, she wasn't entirely sure if she could get to the pendant--not unless she had a sudden burst of energy.

Before's mouth is curving into a frown. Not a pout. A FROWN. Not that anyone can SEE >:[ "It is not random!" He declared, suddenly rushing up to Effort. "I HAVE A SYSTEM!" He pointed with his not-holding-a-BB-gun hand.

OH, FFFF. "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AT ME?" E-4--or Effort, according to Before--yelped, instinctively heading in the opposite direction of the approaching Beta, "And system or not, it's still pretty spontaneous!"
She pointed back at him as she yelled at him, but when she turned back around, she suddenly halted to a stop when she realized that the pendant was right in front of her. Exactly one pace away, to be specific.
She hesitated, unable to bring herself to take that last step.

Bix screwed up his mouth under his mask. He really did not want the pendant but no one seemed to be able to reach it. STUPID HORSE MAGIC!
The whole situation made him nervous as well as angry. He was sweating again! So uncomfortable!! He couldn't help, now that someone had brought it up, wondering how messed up his life had to have been for him to volunteer for this.
"Maybe they tricked us into this." He huffed, arms crossing like an insolent child. "I'm pretty sure if someone told me to get on an island and become a crazed killer, that I wouldn't pick this for myself!" It didn't seem to be part of his personality, even if he couldn't remember his name.
He also didn't like the idea of leaving the pendant hovering in a field. He stood up finally, with a whine of protest. If they were going he'd better be up and if he had to try to get the stupid pendant he'd also need to be on his feet.
"Can we get some kind of consensus here?" He really only cared about the few people in his immediate vicinity and he was secretly too scared to do anything by himself. Any stragglers or lone wolves were welcome to fend for themselves.

E7 watched the horse disappear his jaw dropping, not that anyone could see it. But the Pendant, it was left there 50 feet away. He looked at the others and watched those going for it. When it looked like no one else was going to make it he frowned softly.
Looking around at the others a bit nervous he pushed himself off the ground. He seemed to be debating if he should go for it or not. Looking around, "Despite whoever wants it.... we should all at least try.... I think." He paused, "We... could..." He paused thinking, "We could figure out a way, once someone has it, to settle this... without bloodshed?"
His head was tilted towards the others looking cautiously at them, "We could... Right?" He didn't want to try for it himself if someone was going to stab him in the back. So he just stood there waiting and shifted nervously until someone would answer.

B3 watched as everyone attempting for the pendant seemed to come up short for some reason or another - she could only assume it was another trick by the Horse from Hell and cursed him within her own mind. Would anyone actually be able to get the pendant? Before went running off waving his arms again and she instinctively ducked - but thankfully no crack of gunfire this time around - that man was just dangerous with a gun...
"I agree..we can't jut leave it here for another team to get..so i say we all try..and we all agree not to go berserk and kill the person who does manage to get it....We'll stick together and help all of us survive" Sure..that sounded like a good plan to her so she strode decisively towards the damnable pendant.

[Beta Four is still running up to Effort]
"You are E-4, E-Four, what's E for? EFFORT!" His deckared More frowning but then he realizes just how far away she was and decided not to go through with it. He turned on his heel, back towards Bix, "You know me! Well, no, you don't but I don't know me either, so MOOT POINT! If we are going outta here, where are we going? I dunno about you but I don't wanna go to that Dark Cove place. Hard enough to see through these things as it is..."
