Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tatsuya's answer didn't really fulfill what Leo had wanted him to say, but as he looked up, a green light poked out from the distance as if it were popping holes in a piece of black paper, unveiling several houses and buildings. "Wait. Did you see that?" Leo asked the minute it vanished, the black sky wrapping around them. "Listen, if we stay out here, we don't have a chance. We need to make it over to that settlement. We have to move her. I know what I saw. I've never spotted that location before, but it will give us shelter. I know what I said about "whole group's consensus," but we need to move. Now." Leo didn't give him a chance to respond, he just ran over to the outfits, stashing some in a medical bag and fashioning the others into a type of hammock to carry Skye. He laid out the hammock of brown, dirty outfits and rolled Skye over, not really caring which way her body flopped, just ensuring she got onto it. He placed one end in Tatsuya's hand, then fumbled to get to his side as fast as possible. He looked up, smirked, and started to heave most of Skye's body weight so he would be forced to make a running start. "This'll be fun," Leo told him sarcastically.

Mika willingly went along with him, letting him sorta pull her along. She was confused by the green cloud that seemed to cover more the closer they got. "Is that even normal," she asked slowly. "I'm not sure it's safe."



A cry of pain escaped Skye's lips when she was so carelessly moved. She could only assume it have been Leo that had moved her so carelessly. He was a soldier after all, not exactly the smartest people soldiers. Well some weren't. Most had that macho mentality. She'd seen enough when she lived outside to know. "Tatsuya where are we going," she whimpered so softly it could be missed. "There...danger out here... Pay attention to...radiation readings..."

Ganon heard Skye speaking, but it wasn't audible due to the strain and toll it took to run while carrying her. Leo would have asked Tatsuya what she said, but he was more focused on getting to the town. "We're almost there, Tatsuya." Leo was pushing his body to the max, especially with his untended wound. He'd been so worried about the others that he'd forgotten about himself. Leo came to a stop when they reared Ethan and Mika, gesturing for them both to latch on and help. "Come on. We ain't got time to sit." How could he have missed it? The town merely appeared out of nowhere. "If anything happens, find cover or run. We don't know what could be in there." Leo glanced at the cook with apologetic eyes. "Let's go," Leo said tugging once more at the hard fabric.

Mika just smiled at him. "It's fine cook," she said then frowned at what Tatsuya had said. "Well that's just great. So basically we could be screwed." She was angry at that.



Skye was struggling to shift onto her back. She was tired of struggling to breathe on her stomach. With every small struggle she let out a whimper of pain as it jarred her leg. She needed help and the news Tatsuya had just said was very problematic. Luckily she did know a few sighs that would tell if a place was radiated. It wouldn't work everywhere but it would work for some places.

Leo had already noticed Skye in the hammock, clearly suffering, and then Ethan pitched in. Leo agreed, rolling her over carefully in what seemed to be a tranquil state where her body could relax. Tatsuya's suggestion of radiation in the town seemed trivial. Leo swiped up his medical bag and threw it down on the ground, exposing the outfits. "Put 'em on and we should be good. I only scavenged the good ones, so you shouldn't have any problems with the gas masks. These will ensure our safety. Mika, I'm gonna need you to dress Skye." Leo started picking them up and handing them out. Leo put his on quickly. His brown hood bobbed as he went to the ground and pulled it over. The circular plates of glass were the only thing that allowed him to see the wasteland, even though it was dusty and dark. A black tube-like muzzle lead out from his nose like a snout. A brown great coat rested on his shoulders, a grey buttoned vest, black gloves, pants, and black boots being the final touches. Out of curiosity, Leo examined the outfit, digging in the pockets and searching for things. He stopped as his hand ran over a smooth, heavy object on his back. He unbuckled a strap and pulled out the inexplicable object, pulling it up fast. It was a short sword, but he quickly realized it wasn't like any other. Reason being, there wasn't a blade. He fiddled with the item for awhile, trying to tap it on all of its sides. Leo backed up when a blade finally sprung out from him touching a mechanism on the sword. Apparently, it served as a fold and unfold mechanism. He tried it again, flipping the mechanism. This time, the blade folded back up. He tried it once more and watched as it unfolded, the slightest ring tingling his fingers. A brown, polished handle glided up to a steel frame and a sharp, slightly oblique point. He ran his fingers over it lightly, admiring its beauty. His other swords didn't compare. He sheathed the new blade back in its rightful place and disposed of his others; he no longer needed them and they were dull.

Mika frowned. "Uh can I pass," she asked. "I can't even look at her for all the blood alright? I don't like it." She took the suit he offered for her but not the one for Skye.



Skye blinked at the green tint, praying it wasn't really there. When it didn't go away she sat up despite it making her feel very faint. "We shouldn't go anywhere near this town," she said firmly. "Green clouds like this only ever form when there is alot of radiation present. Deadly amounts to be exact. Also the creatures within the town will be much stronger. You thought those Rippers back at the market were tough? They will be invincible in this level of radiation. So will feral Ghouls. Radiation heals them. We should not go into this town. We should head in the opposite direction." All she could do was hope they listened to her. No matter what though she was not going into the town. Risking her life out in the Wastes was bad enough. She did not want to die from radiation poisoning.

Leo could only understand. "Uh, yeah. That's fine. I'll do it," Leo said unwillingly. Skye never liked him from the beginning, so it wouldn't be too good for the both of them if she woke up. A commentary definitely didn't suit them. Tatsuya would be his next choice for this kind of thing. The guy always seemed as if he had a purpose, a lot of them being to help out with things Leo didn't want to do. Leo liked it that way. He picked up an outfit, the one with the severed pant leg, and started over to Skye. Leo was already in front of her on the ground when she sat up and started rambling. Leo grumbled a little bit to himself. "Tatsuya, can you come over here?"

Mika tensed and glared at the man. She was distrusting of him though he was saying the same thing as Skye. "Now why should we listen to you," she asked coldly. "I'll admit our leader here isn't bright but still." When she said leader she nodded at Leo.



Skye examined the man slowly. "Tatsuya is right," she said quietly. "I'm still bleeding. I don't know how long I'll be awake." She thought the soldier looked familiar and seeing as her father had been a member of some military it was possible she'd known him as a child. However she shrugged it off. Back before the attack she'd known alot of people. All of that was before the Bunker though. "I already warned them of the danger the town contains," she said to the man. "Radiation and alot of it. These suits won't provide protection long enough for us to explore the town and I bet you there are Feral Ghouls and Rippers lying in wait. Probably a few Necromites hiding in the buildings too. Much too dangerous a place to go in unprepared like we are."
