"I'm not," Jordan said. He swallowed against the nausea and grief and stood quiet for a moment, not letting go yet, allowing himself the small comfort of contact and togetherness. Then he asked, "Are you coming down with us?"

[ Atlantis party ]
Zane was tempted to tell her that they could leave now, go back with Ever but instead he pressed his lips into a firm line. They'd see it through to the end. Letting her leave his arms however was a little harder because it grounded him a bit.
In fact, it was startling that he was still standing and keeping his composure when he was all but ready to fall apart.
Gear was put on mechanically and he didn't hesitate to dive into the water, chasing Soleil's braid ahead of him. Arms pushed water back and propelled him forward and he did everything to not think about what had happened or how that island had made him feel.
It wasn't long before he broke the surface and looked for his friend. Soleil wasn't too far away and he paddled over, wet hand reaching for an equally wet shoulder. "Okay?" He asked, gruff and short, to inquire about her well-being without seeming like he cared that much.

He got up slowly to watch as a few more hunters filtered in before turning and moving towards the door, artifact in hand. "Sophie?" He called out. "I have something to return."

"Sophie is unable to receive you, all resources have been re-assigned." The symbols on the walls had turned red, lighting up and dimming along with the voice. It was feminine and similar to Sophie's but not quite the same.
"State your name and purpose, trespassers. Each of you."

Melvin stared at the walls, and felt a sort of relief that the energy was being delivered which meant it was hopeful that this was the cause of their problems. The red markings however meant they were in danger, because Atlantis somehow hoarded enough energy to fuel it's war machine against them and probably had security set up outside of it's gate.
"Melvin Wood. A artifact was taken without our knowing, but we have retrieved it and are here to return it to it's proper place." He called out to the room, holding out the artifact in his hands.
He then looked to everyone else, gesturing with one hand for them to start calling out their names. "Go on." He whispered.

Seren's eyes went wide at the speaking... wall? Door? Whatever it was, she didn't know, and didn't care to know right now. She looked at everyone, for a long moment, trying to process all of this.
Finally, she stood back up and moved closer to the door, blue eyes bleary with misery.
"I am Seren Yong. I am here to assist in the return of the artifact that was previously removed fro this place."
He took in Melvin's reply with a quiet nod; if they didn't need to worry about an escape route then he had nothing else to really add. He waited quietly with the rest of them, focusing on not a whole lot except Seren whenever he glanced over...which was a lot. He was concerned but not entirely sure it was the best time or place to express it so openly so he settled with just watching her to make sure she didn't do anything crazy.
He spied Joy nearby too so he looked over at her for a moment to make sure she was doing alright when a voice from nowhere finally spoke. Rhys snapped to attention, brow quickly raised in question as he wasn't entirely sure he was comfortable with how he couldn't see who or what was talking. Not just that, red wasn't exactly a very welcoming color either, but since no one was dropping dead it didn't feel like they were in immediate danger. And after Melvin gestured for them to introduced themselves he waited his turn before stepping up.
"Rhys Donovan. Am with them doin' the same thing," he said while gesturing to those that had already introduced themselves, "returning an artifact that was accidentally taken."
He kept the comment about "just asking for it back instead of sending a s**t-ton of rain" to himself.

"Yeah, I'm aright.." She murmured to Zeke. Cee didn't outwardly seem affected by the death they'd witnessed besides a furrow in her brow as she watched everyone approach the doors. She moved forward with the rest, only letting go of Zeke's elbow to present herself when it was motioned.
"My name's Concetta DiGregorio.." One of the few times anyone would hear her say her full name out loud. Now didn't seem the time for nicknames, "And I'm here to make sure things go smoothly and you git yer property back."
Soleil lay a hand on Zane's, giving his fingers a small squeeze before climbing out of the water to join the others. The cave—hall perhaps?—wasn't exactly well lit, but enough so to see, at least until the blue find into sinister red.
She looked back for Zane, obviously on edge, and when he was close enough she'd reach a hand back for him. But exactly happy with herself for clinging to anyone, but unable to deny that it helped. It had her half wishing Luna was her, but she was still safe on the island.
The command for an introduction had her glancing first to Melvin, then the others as they spoke up, before she followed their lead.
"Soleil Ray, I'm here to help return the stolen item so are splitting can be reached." She wondered if anyone actually cared about the stolen artifact, if they'd still care if it hadn't resulted in the golems or the weather. She found it doubtful, since there hadn't been a very public movement to have it returned. That she saw, in any case.

Wait... since when did doors talk?
And how did doors talk?
Lena watched as the other hunters identified themselves, explaining what they were there to do. Stepping up, she struggled to raise her voice and keep it calm, even if she was totally wigging out. A quick glance towards her twin and she nodded her head.
"Lena Sargent!" Her last name earned some strain, but she cleared her throat and continued, "Returning something to its rightful owner... errr... place!"

Climbing out of the water and joining the rest was easy even if being soaking wet kinda sucked. At least his fringe was clipped back and out of his face, though orange hair stuck uncomfortably to the back of his neck.
He would have liked something dry to wipe his glasses off with.
If Soleil was reeling, Zane looked as he ever did; almost bored and entirely too chill. One hand had fingers tangled with the woman's and the other ran blunt nails through his scratchy beard.
He waited until there was a break in the introductions to speak up.
"Zane Walker." His name was easy, his purpose? Not so much. "Mostly here for the ride." Not exactly the best reason, but it worked as far as he was concerned.

It took a moment for Luka to climb out of the water and join her sister. Fingers squeezed water out of her pigtails and she let her gaze drift among the gathered.
Once Lena returned to her side, her hand was a comforting touch on the small of her back.
"Lena Sargent." Where her twin's voice had shaken, hers remained firm. What was their purpose?
"Here to..." Here was where she hesitated. "To help make sure the object is returned and the rain stops." Because that was the point, right?

He let Cee go but lingered at her back, listening to everyone as they introduced themselves and started their purpose for being there. For the most part they all ran along a similar theme, but knew himself. He wasn't there for any moral reasons.
"Ezekiel Young, here to restore peace, and to learn." The latter more than the former. At least in that moment. He was sick of the rain, but his thirst for knowledge was larger than his desire for a sunny day.

Chris felt a bit self conscious now that he had to speak but he said his piece as requested anyway.
"Chris Lee," He rubbed his neck and glanced out from under floppy bangs, "Here to help. Anyway I can, I guess. Hoping to get relief from the rain.." And monsters. And if that meant returning this artifact than that's what they would do.
Joy remembered her visit to Atlantis. She remembered Sophie. She also remembered Terminator and the scariness of AIs. She eventually got around to introducing herself, "Ligaya delos Santos. Here to assist in the return of the artifact."
She stayed close to Seren and Rhys even if she couldn't do anything to truly protect them, she wasn't going to just stand idly by this time around.
