A hand came from behind Lance, reaching to help loosen the scarf around his neck and lift it up over the lower half of his face.
"I'd rather not have you go completely under, Uncle," said Gale, his voice muffled by his own scarf around his face, going down several inches lower himself. He gripped the rifle tightly in his hand and peered around, trying to move without going deeper - but even as he attempted to lift one leg, the other sank just a tiny bit more.
"This is bloody ridiculous."

Lance received no quarrel from leon as he looped the scarf twice over his mouth and tied the end close to his coat. Any sense of logic right now was worth listening too. He did not feel like smiling anytime soon. Not with the Way Dakota was looking at him.
The eyes and his smile, they were not saying the same thing. and it worried him. Colleagues were being destroyed in front of his eyes, hidden by a smile that refused to go. It was infuriating "We need to sustain a fire of sorts, i dont care if we have to take a leak on a piece of wood to prevent it from burning to cinders, we need something." he insisted, waving the chainsaw around at the stray bugs that tried to get away from the death trail.

"Yer welcome. Ya owe me a sandwich." He sassed the one armed woman. "I dunno... the torch is out of juice." Otto lamented, tossing the scarf down with a huff and pocketing his bottle of Axe. Gale was given a judgemental glare back. He liked the smell of Axe. Deal With It, Limey! Oh well, he scurried off to Lance. Bugs.. So many of them. Otto gulped audibly, his stomach doing somersaults. The more he focused on working, the less bad memories surfaced. He still wanted to puke. s**t. What should he do? He tried not to panic. He was actually doing a good job for once in his life.

What the ... well, it seemed like his strike had done something, but he hadn't really expected something like that. It was at least now something to aim for but, like.. was this a reformed.. sort of.. boss.. guy? "Uh....?" Milo did the best thing he could to get away from the crawling thing, braced himself against the sand and pushed off to get himself out.
Upon hearing Lance, his free hand instantly was at his scarf to make sure it was still secured as it was, it was pretty loose from when he had originally. Hopefully trying to tighten it one handed would work. 'cause he kind of needed to get this thing away from him (or just himself away). A swing against it just wasn't going to work right now. Swim away... crawl away....get away. Okay, maybe missing would let him tie his scarf in properly.Quote: hp: 40/40 target: charred bug guy wtf charge: 1/3 damage: 0

Rin deftly retrieved the charred scarf used to save her a** and offered it back to Otto while pointing at her own scarf meaningfully. If you don;t put it on Otto, she is going to gag you with it proper. She'll get you that sandwich. But only if you too get out of it alive. Promise.

Nevada unfurled her scarf, covering her mouth and ears just like Lance did and then reached over to do the same thing for Abbi. She then took the girl's hand in hers and carefully waded her way over to Lance.
"Lance. Gale." Nevada's voice was just a bit grim under the muffling of her now scarf turban. "I'm sorry Gale, I tried to get Stormy back but...." The girl hissed a bit, once she stopped as close as she could get to the assistant, she turned to look over at Abbi.
"I'm going to start lifting you Abbi." The mist girl smiled, "I want you to go over closer to Gale and Lance and stay there." Thanks to the weapon bond, even Nevada's petite form at least could lift Abbi, and should the girl kick her feet would at least allow the mist huntress to get her to a point where she could make it to Lance and Gale.
"What do we do now?"

Finns mouth, nose, and ears were already covered by his scarf, so that was a plus at least. He was still sort of not sure what to be attacking and would probably do something in a minute (like when his RPer had the time to post for real ). In the meantime..... Fire seemed to be doing something, but did it have to be special fire from one of those torch things? Finn pulled out his lighter, and his canister of old spice spray, lit the lighter, and sprayed it into the flame anytime anything came close to him.

Jack let out a stream of curses as Shiloh was consumed and vomited back out. Well what the hell cold he do then? He had no access to fire (though he turned and saw Finn was having no issue about it, lucky b*****d). Several of them were herding around the wheel chair guy, so at least the safety in numbers thing finally clicked. Christ.
Yes, let's talk to these dopplegangers. Let's promise we'll take them home. Great idea.
Spotting Milo, Jack forced himself through the sand, teeth grit as he scanned the crawling corpse that was his new target. "Soul Fight Guy!" he called as he swung his sword to try and slice the mutilated body up before it got more ideas. "You see that group forming over there? Better make your way over before something takes you too!"
He did not, would not, pay attention to the blood pooling around one of the copies.

"None of that now," Lance replied, wishing he could reach Pandora to give her shoulder a comforting squeeze. As it was, she would have to settle for placing her trust in his next words. "I've been in worse situations. Keep your cool, keep fighting. That'll keep them too busy from trying to get to you."
The hand behind him made him jump, then relax as he heard his nephew's voice. "Good call, but if the s**t hits the fan you better use me as bait. Got it?" Lance ordered as best as he could. With his arm free he summoned his weapon again, grimacing. "Hey! Sun boy! Get a move on!" Lance yelled towards Milo, pointing towards the hunter with his weapon. "Gale! Think you can shoot it from here? Anyone with long range --"

As Lance sank steadily deeper into the sand, the swarm of insects began to crawl his general direction. Even this distraction however, was enough to note that the sand had notably less insects than it did before. Perhaps their strikes had not been futile all this time, as the sand shifted and moved visible directions depending on where they could find an opening.
A small cluster of insects remained, and now began to circle Pandora, or her general vicinity. Shiloh had one hand on her and was smiling. The ground below her began to churn black.
Lucky and Mimsy however, had decided in unison to go after Otto and America. Weapons summoned, they struck at Tenya, trying topple the massive weapon. At the rate they were going, if they were not interrupted, they would succeed.
The flames finally flickered and died out just as both Melvin and Dakota took action, weapons also summoned as they decided to go at it the hard way, striking at Leon and Rin to weaken them.
A second mutilated, burnt body, covered beneath in insects emerged to intercept Gale. The mouth opened, teeth sinking into his arms as the insects tried to gain leverage that way and climb up, around his shoulder, up his neck.
The body that was close to Milo burst open as a hive of insects emerged and scuttled out, looking for a fresh body. Hundreds of them began to crawl up his arms, and then they were swarming his face, his mouth, nose, ears, sharp and precise.

Otto grimaced at his burnt scarf, waving it away back to Rin. "A scarf aint gunna stop a bug from gettin inside ya." He grumbled. And then s**t got real. Otto gasped in horror as bugs seemed to be going full throttle, the shield he and America had around them getting swiped at. He tensed, looking around him at the problems the others had before looking back to Tenya. The flames were done. He was out of ideas.
"Ain't sure how long this'll hold." He had no higher up to turn to here. Lance had his own problems, and he had a trainee and her weapon that his weapon was attached to.

Pale and determined, America focused past losing Shiloh and the threat Pandora was under and worked on closing the gap around Otto and Tenya. "Think a good punch'll knock a few bugs out? Or can you smoke em out?"

Gale gave a derisive snort. "Like bloody hell I will," he said, and his cheeks were slightly flushed as he added, "I don't leave people behind, Lance."
He had already gotten the rifle in position even before Lance's words, and now he held it up to squint through the telescopic lens. A voice beside him indicated the arrival of someone else, and it wasn't until she spoke that he deciphered it was Nevada. Gale didn't turn around -
- at least not until the rest of her sentence hit his ears. Gale's head snapped to the side, almost giving him whiplash.
"What?" he said, and the word came out too sharp, too brittle, a growing sense of dread rising in Gale's stomach, a fear that battled alongside the nausea that threatened to overtake him. "What happened to Stormy? What?"
He hadn't seen her, not since the bugs had come, and now the panic was back, and Gale's hand shot out, gripping Nevada's wrist. His fingers were trembling slightly, and he heard Jinhai murmur something quiet and reassuring inside of his head, the dragon attempting to keep him steady.
"Where is she?" he demanded, trying to keep his voice steady. "Nevada, where - "
But the rest of his sentence died out because something had appeared towards him, something like out of a horror movie, and then there was an awful buzzing noise ringing in Gale's ears -
- and then teeth sinking into his arm, and things crawling up him and the acrid, sickening, horrible stench of decay and rot and Gale gave a terrible scream of pain, shoving his gun as hard as he could into the thing's stomach, trying desperately to push it away -

Rin breathed more heavily now with her mouth and nose obstructed but she was still more than ready to protect herself against "Melvin". Sorry Otto, you're on your own for a bit.
Byr was swung out and held there to deflect any shots "Melvin" may have fired off using Saliva while she attempted to slowly back up towards Otto and America's defenses.

Nevada startled as Gale's hand came out to take her wrist, her face seizing up into what could be the most distant and closed off look the girl could manage.
It didn't even feel like her voice speaking.
"Stormy got sucked under. Popped back up with the bugs in her. She's over there." Nevada didn't her head to look at Stormy again, especially at the small pool of vomitted blood that came from the girl. She couldn't.
Her hand came away as a new attack came, The bugs slowly crawling towards Lance earned her attention again as Gale fought off the zombie thing on his arm.
"Don't go near her Gale." Nevada turned to catch his eye again, popping a shot at the Zombie head next. "We already tried...........Me and Abbi tried..."
