Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rep hated reality. It could go climb a ******** summit of dicks. The cookies hadn't really been so bad, and now he could only think about all the negative sides of everything, all the wholeheartedly stupid things he'd managed to say, ******** hell.

Oh and that whole ******** letting himself be oiled up with sun screen. In public. In a ******** public tent. He'd be happy to go to his death after this, facing the island or twitter wouldn't be as fun as it had been before. Still, he couldn't deny he felt better after it, more relaxed than he had in years, his shoulder no longer as aching as it had been.



He made a face.

Augh, he'd probably have to apologise to people at some point for being a ******** creep. After this whole mission thing at least.

He watched Harrison work and wished this wasn't the second time he'd seen Jerry shirtless.

From somewhere else in the base camp Gale sent a text message to Clarice:

Jude quietly got up and moved a bit closer to Molly moving to stand nearby the icepack now gone from his nose now that it felt like his body's blood supply wasn't trying to spurt out via his nostrils, "You doing alright, Lady?" He asked quietly.

He just .. He wanted to make sure she was doing okay that is all. Gotta check up on everyone.

Also he was ignoring the 'manly' talk for the most part. He couldn't identify with that sort of conversation very much.

He blinked and stared at Molly for a long moment before he uttered a bit of a laugh and shook his head, "No, it wasn't a scorpion that got me, at least not in the face...One did try to disembowel me though," he shrugged lightly and then waved a hand, "I just..had a disagreement with someone, that is all."

Jude had dropped it by now but he wasn't sure Otto had yet. Probably not. Physical altercations are harder to 'forget' than words.

"I'm fine," he assured after that and then shifted a shoulder, "but you? How are you doing?"

The Mist trainee laughed a bit anxiously. “Mmm…my group ran into some scorpions too. First poor Jerry did, and then I did as well…but we took them out. I’m glad that it didn’t punch you in the face though.” But someone else did? A fellow hunter? Oh dear. Molly fretted over that for a moment before she answered his question.

“Me? O-oh! I’m fine. Just got in a bit of a tussle with two scorpions, that’s all! I’m resting right now and then I’ll be as good as new.”

"..Yeah that seems to be most of what is out here...Giant scorpions and other assortment of insects," he rubbed the side of his neck, "didn't know the desert had such huge bugs."

He gave a short chuckle, she was very kind to be concerned but really, it was alright, "I can assure you it was a fist, I saw it as it hit my face," Jude grinned a bit boyishly.

"That's why I am here as well, I got a bit too beat on during patrol with Marcus and Deryk," he said with a shrug, "I wonder when we're going to do more than just patrols, though. I am glad you're doing alright, though." Jude said sincerely.

The small affirmation was what he'd needed.

He smiled back a little too.

Sasha followed in shortly after Syd, nabbing the blue first aid kit that Clarice had texted her about before moving to Syd's side.

"It looks like.. it looks like everyone is mobilizing, so we should be quick." First things first, she set aside the music player that H had stashed for her. Sasha then nabbed a thick piece of gauze, saturating it with a healthy dose of antiseptic. "Go ahead and .. you know. Jacket, off. So I can get your shoulder."

Sasha prepared the rest of the supplies as she waited; antibiotic ointment, more gauze, and tape to bind it all together.
