What had been the chances of them -not- sinking the boat had their fight gone much further? Surely between the furniture crashing into walls, tails lashing into said furniture, and students jumping to avoid said furniture, eventually something would have smashed through the walls or floor of the boat leading to a very bad situation.

So it was a good thing Red had screamed at them, stopping the fight there. Yay, they didn't sink the boat...oh wait, they -did- sink the boat, just not with their fighting, oops. Hope you're not too mad about that, Red!

Riding on the back of a shark wasn't so bad, though he would have preferred to fly. At least there were no tables to be thrown while on a shark, and for the moment he was content to rest and take a much needed (if brief) nap.

Arrrgg! What the--crash! How did a shark crash? Really, how did that work?! Shaken away only to find himself flung from his shark and flying through the air (well he had wanted to fly, be careful what you wish for). At least he could stop himself from hitting too hard, maybe. His wings spread, attempting to glide toward the shore, only to find himself caught in a gust that sent him sprawling to the beach below.

Ugg, where was he?

Pulling himself to sit upright, Sheridan strained to see through the fog (cursed fog), looking for any sign of life or his shipmates. He supposed that tent over there looked promising enough, hopefully if the others came ashore they would think to go there as well.

It looked like everyone was having the same idea, or at least he wasn't the only one who had made his way to the tent. Looking around, his gaze shifted between the blue crystal, students, and the three tables in the tent. Bags, what on earth were those for? And the objects on the second table...he was getting an ominous feeling about this...

Mac had been in his bunk, happily nestled in his now-dry clothes when the Lady in Red crashed into the rocks. The lurch from the boat threw him from his bed, and the water that started to seep through the ship itself, accompanied by the roaring command from Blue, had the reaper on his feet pretty fast. He ran from the lower level and onto the deck itself, where a second jarring lurch threw him bodily from the boat. Crashing into the water below, he fought to try and keep his barings; it would be terrible to lose which way was up, and drowning wasn't something he was particularly interested in. In his efforts however, a searing pain from his left arm told him he'd his something hard, and the gasp of pain that followed cost him his held breath.

All of a sudden, it was damn hard to figure out which was was up and which was down, and the longer he was under the water, the more his lungs began to burn from the lack of oxygen. He couldn't stay under for much longer! His moves were already getting sluggish, and with one last kick he pushed himself upwards, hoping that it was, in fact, up.

Luckily for him, he broke through the surface.

Coughing out water and trying to breath in deeply at the same time was a difficult task, but it was one he managed to accomplish. A quick look around had him spotting the shore, and he swam towards it, clearly favouring his left arm. As he trudged to shore, soaking wet for the third damned time, he looked around once more, now trying to spot his shipmates (mostly Alwine, whom he was supposed to be watching...or perhaps her friend, so he knew when to get the hell out of here). It was the Monster's questions that caught his attention, and he turned towards him (Bul).

"Looks like it...ours hit some rocks I think." Coughing up a bit more water, black eyes turned to stare at the bags and weapons. "And Jack, I hope not; they coulda easily done that without the damned boat ride." Grumpy? Yes. Yes he was. Understandably so, of course.

She heard the screech of her name and knew that voice instantly. Oh how she'd missed hearing that voice! Missed seeing those freckles. And for a second time in the span of minutes, the she-wolf was taken to the ground again. Her arms shot out to clutch to the body that had just tackled her, so she didn't hit the ground too hard. That and she was feeling exceptionally clingy all of a sudden. And was being clung to right back.

"REEEEEEEN!" No she did not screech, but her voice was definitely higher pitched than usual. It had been way too long since she'd seen the gryphon last. Way too long!

"I'm glad you're alright, Kitten!" She got out, rubbing her cheek against his head when he burrowed his face against her shoulder. "I know you don't like water. I was worried! And I missed youuuuu!"

Wasn't Gabe supposed to have been on the same boat as her best friend? Where was he at? And where was Alessa and Jove? At the moment, she couldn't really focus on that thought. She had REN! Ren was here. In person. Not a text waiting for her to read. HE WAS HERE! Which was even better. LW just hugged him tightly, so very relieved to see him again.

Carthusia was busy in the tent of supplies, snatching up a brown knapsack and an empty medical box before stepping out onto the beach again. Her waterlogged duffelbag could be left here, she thought, if she could dry off fairly quickly. Donning the knapsack, Carry held the medical kit in one hand and was busy examining it, assuming the werewolf who had been with her previously was right behind her. It was not so. The blonde demoness searched high and low but found no sign of the redhead until her name had been shrieked with the ferocity of a thousand angry banshees across the beach. Carthusia blinked. Boy, whoever that was had lungs like... like something with large lungs.

The pride demoness trotted out to see a pile of fur and wings and tails and... wait, that guy looked familiar. Standing next to the embracing figures, Carthusia tapped the gryphon on the shoulder, a devilish smile playing on her lips. "I kept her safe just as I said I would. Now, what's my reward?" Whether or not she was kidding was up to debate, but Carthusia knew it would get some sort of reaction. She was now in the love... polygon... thing, but only as a shareholder, so to speak. She was contracted to LW and vice versa. How fun this would be!

Arachne shivered, soaked to the skin once again but entirely glad to be on land, slogging along the sand of the shore and heading inland towards the tent, where everyone else seemed to be heading. Most she could see had been on the other boats, had all of them suffered the same crashing fate?

As she approached the tent, she heard a loud commotion, looking over she shook her head a little at Ren and chuckled with something bordering on relief - at least he hadn't gotten into trouble again. Speaking of..she looked around for her fellow crew members, wondering if they'd all gotten to shore okay...even Rosciel as she didn't want Sin to be upset.

At the tent she sat heavily down, her legs not wanting to support her anymore and rubbed her forehead. At some point she'd struck it and there was a lump forming.

'Owww.'

(( Minipet profile is here; Sharra has all his posts. ))

Sharra had just barely managed it to shore, and already he started to look about for his shipmates, mind, it seemed that they weren't the only ones who had landed on this godforsaken place. The nergal boil gave a shudder as he flicked water from his claws, sopping wet still as he made his way over to the supply tent. Ah gods, this entire place gave him the jitters, and he wondered if this was what it felt like to experience humanity.

Well whatever it was, it sucked. Wrinkling his nose, the brunette picked up a brown knapsack and tossed it over his shoulder...and eyeing the makeshift weapons for a long moment, he supposed that he'd best have something to defend himself if this adventure turned out like the last one, which it was starting to feel like more and more all the time. Grimacing, he curled his fingers about the severed table leg....it wasn't as heavy as the mace, and didn't look as though it might splinter completely should he attempt to bash someone with it. Maybe.

Heading outside, he surveyed the area, acidic green eyes careful. There were still figures out on the beach, and so the boil loped that way, to see if he could help out...it wasn't until he drew closer that he realized that one of those figures was entirely familiar, and all thoughts of aiding potential strangers and other students dissipated. Oh Jack... "Yaya!" He called the ghoul's name as he darted down the sands, kneeling beside her as his human hand went gingerly to touch her shoulder, not sure if he should move the djinn, though he desperately wished to have her in his arms. "Sweet Jack, are you all right?" He whispered, feeling rather useless in this whole scenario, his heart pounding faster than it ought. But at least she was alive...he really should look at it that way...and already he was scanning her for injuries. Was that ankle swollen? It was hard to tell in the dim light.

If he found them, he was going to give his teachers a piece of his mind for putting them all in this position. Again.

Ren was too busy smothering LW in hugs that he did not notice the avarice demon that came up to them until she tapped him on the shoulder. Even then it took him a few moments to snap out of his stupidly elated stupor and twist around to glance up at whomever was speaking to them.

"Elle double youuuuuuuuuu," he said happily, nosing into her hair. A voice above them spoke and Ren blinked, craning his neck to see. He did not recognize the ghoul who was standing there, but just from her presence, he could see that she was A.) a demon and B.) a probably very powerful demon. And, from the looks of it, Ren guessed that she would be, in fact, the one who had marked LW in the first place. He lifted a brow.

"I don't remember asking anyone to take care of LW, actually," he said with a laugh, still hugging the ghoul to his chest. "She's pretty capable of taking care of herself. However, if you did indeed take care of little miss wolf over here, then I probably should say thank you."

So, he stood up, dusted off his jeans, and then flung his arms around the demon's shoulders, giving her a bone crushing hug before pecking her cheek once with an overly dramatic kiss and stepping back.

"Thank you!" Ren said cheerfully and then proceed to cling to LW once more.

Where Ren just stared for a minute as he looked at the demoness standing above them, LW smiled up at Carry happily. The she-wolf was elated to know that the gryphon was alright. And that he was there now. And hopefully the others were alright and would be there soon too.

She hugged him right back and felt her cheeks tint a little red at what he was saying to Carry. Did he really think that? It meant a lot to hear such words from Ren, or any of her close friends. LW gave him a warm smile and pecked his cheek before he stood up. She shouldn't have missed the absence of him as much as she did. But hey! She hadn't seen him for weeks! WEEKS!

Standing and shaking like the canine she was, tail fluffing up a bit, LW watched how Ren would respond to Carry. Her eyebrows rose up in surprise and LW laughed. That was probably not the response that Pride was expecting. Not even the she-wolf had expected to see him proceed to grab the demoness in a hug and kiss her cheek. Ren was in a really good mood. This made her happy.

The she-wolf leaned against her best friend, arm around his waist. She pointed towards the tent, noticing that Carry had already grabbed some supplies. "Come on, Kitten. We should collect some supplies before the good stuff disappears." Her violet gaze looked to the Pride demon, silently asking if she was going to follow them or wait here or tackle someone else?

That... was not the reaction she had anticipated.

"I err uh. You're welcome?"

Carthusia was most surprised to nearly have her ribcage crushed by a gryphon hug and before she knew it, she had a peck on her cheek, his thanks, and a sore waist. She blinked a few times, listening to the conversation before making her way silently up the beach. She was looking for others and trying to walk off the oddity of the previous situation. Her wings stretched out and she slung her empty medical case over her shoulder, pondering the severity of this situation. Would Livi be mad? It wasn't like she instigated a hug or a kiss from the fuzzball. Bizarre.

If it hadn't been for the complete desertion on a mysterious island surrounded by water and no sunlight, Bul would've been satisfied with staying there. All the while he knew something was not right. He sniffed the air after he turned to the new face addressing him. (Mac)

"I didn't mind the boat ride so much but I couldn't agree more," he muttered and once again eyed the weapons table. He figured he better grab something before they ran out of them- though they appeared to have a pretty tremendous stock. Better to arm himself now than later especially after the surprise attack by the fake minipets on board the Risk Factor.

Bul took a Rusty Pipe and brown knapsack hoisting it onto his shoulders. "I wonder if all the other ships made it here or not.." he muttered, thinking of Seiji and Icky though the boggart was on his boat he had yet to see his body actually on the island.

If anyone would have turned to ask Gabrian what in Jack's name had happened, it was likely the demon wouldn't have had an answer. At least not a coherent one, at any rate. One moment, he had been on the deck, fishing and trying (failing) to text LW, the next he'd found himself inside the ocean. The fact he was finally within water was enough to shut down most of his functional brain in favor of trying to process that yes, he was thankfully finally swimming, after a 20 day plus wait.

As such, needless to say, it barely registered that this situation while favorable for him, was hardly favorable for the rest of his shipmates, Ren included. It came as a surprise when the gryphon clung to him, looking absolutely terrified, and for a moment, the nix almost stopped to ask what in Jack's name had him so terrified, because he felt marvelous, thank you very much. It took him several beats to kick his mind out of second gear, and as such, a bit longer to recall that Ren not only hated water, but was terrified of it. Breathing out some sort of comforting words, the nix had swam them to shore with little difficulty (though he was loath to admit this would have all been a ton easier if he'd been able to access his serpent form, which he... could not, for some odd reason).

By the time he'd made it on land, half dragging Ren along with him, the demon notice his friend had blacked out, which was... very counterproductive for Gabrian's current goals. Said goals included;

a) swimming.
b) finding his Puppy and Rabbit.
c) making sure they were okay.
d) hugging, and perhaps kissing them, he'd decide that on the spot.
e) swim some more.
f) see if he could find Riley, Arachne and few others, just to make sure they were okay too.

He could do none of those with an unconscious gryphon, and thus, he decided to leave Ren on land, figuring he'd be near enough to go aid him if anything else happened. Unfortunately, after a while... he'd only managed to accomplish goal A, seeing as how he er... got caught up in it. It was, however, Ren screeching LW's name out that caught his attention, and after shooting the ocean one last, longing look, the nix made his way back on land, apparently not all that bothered that his clothes and hair were both dripping wet. It was hot enough that he wasn't going to catch cold, after all.

He caught sight of his best friend tackling his ghoulfriend to the ground, and for a moment, he allowed himself a tilt of his head before casually strolling over, "That's MY Puppy, thank you very much," it was practically whined out loud (Which was doubtlessly out of character for him) as he stretched his arms out at LW, apparently waiting for the werewolf to run over to him, "Puppyyyyy...." there was an almost pleading note to his voice before he turned to look at Carthusia, his brain obviously not yet fully recovered after his abstinence from water and subsequent dip in the ocean, "I'm not entirely sure there was a reward offered up for her safety. Do you want a kiss?" to his credit, he didn't look like he was teasing or making fun of the avarice demon; in fact, he looked slightly confused, and if his earlier words to LW were any indication, apparently experiencing something akin to a sugar high.

He took a step back when Ren chose to hug the demoness, and instead simply watched them, "Where my Rabbit? I couldn't find her," for someone that had had just something as ridiculous as all that... he looked pretty serious. Which probably only made the situation that much more funny at the end of the day, "Also, I have determined I probably shouldn't go without swimming for more than a week," that was apparently added as an afterthought.

Ren was quite aware that he had, in fact, not given the avarice demon the reaction she had expected. He hadn't exactly given her the reaction he had expected either, but he was overjoyed over the fact that he had finally gotten to see his best friend after so long. More than twenty days of not even hearing from her except once, through a text message, was not not enough. It was the same with his ghoulfriend, and as Ren glanced around, his eyes searched for Gabrian, Alessa and Jove, biting his lip worriedly.

"Where do you think the others are?" he asked LW, his arms around her shoulders, her arm around his waist as they made their way towards the supply tent. The heavy fog made it difficult to see anywhere, or anyone even; the students milling about looked confused, anxious, even a little angry. Their bodies were silhouetted against the dark sky, some of them only dark smears of color. Ren squinted, eyes searching for any glimpse of auburn hair, or pale teal skin, Jove's glowing eyes, even Natalia's tumbling dark hair, or Vaith's tall figure. He had seen Mac already, and caught a flash of red that he recognized as Arachne, so he at least knew those two were safe. Hopefully the other students on his boat were safe -

"That's MY Puppy, thank you very much."

"GABRIANNNNNNNN!" Ren screeched, letting go of LW only long enough to throw himself at the nix in an enormous hug. He was not technically the person that Gabrian had opened his arms intending to receive, but Ren was just pleased to see that the nix was, in fact, not dead or hurt. He gave a quick, rapidfire kiss to the demon's lips before glancing excitedly around, expecting to see Alessa with him. When he realized that she was, in fat not with him, his expression shifted to one of crestfallen disappointment.

Then he realized just exactly what Gabrian had said and scowled, moving back to LW to tackle her from behind in a giant hug.

"YOUR puppy?" he asked stubbornly. "And whoever said Alessa was your rabbit? Last I checked, she was my ghoulfriend."

Ren was incredibly concerned about the fact that she was still not around. He did not like thinking that anything could have happened to her, or to Jove, or to anyone else on their ship. What if something bad happened, like an attack or...or...no, he thought, shaking his head. No, I've gotta think positively. They're all right. They've gotta be all right.

Tybalt crawled up to shore; more exhausted than he had ever felt in his entire life. He had never swam so much before, much less in an ocean... This time he really thought it was the end. Was it because he didn't eat the Hell-O? Hyde did say that they wouldn't die if they ate it... but then again, why did the others get flung overboard as well and why was he still alive? Or alive as he usually was? Who knew. But more importantly... WHY THE HELL DID THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME SORT ACCIDENT ON THESE CANDLEJACKING FIELD TRIPS!? Was it mandatory or something!?

At least he wasn't the only one here. It seemed that their own ship wasn't the only one that had troubles with the storm. There were so many students here, but strangely enough not one staff personal was present, nor any ToT's. Did they not make it to shore? Maybe a shark got them... Or maybe they just ditched them and were going to let them become the distraction like they did the last field trip they were on? Yeah... that sounded to be the most likely of cases.

Fine!

If they were going to play it that way, they didn't need them! If they could survive Christmas Town, they could survive anything! Or at least... he hoped. To be truthful, he was secretly hoping that this was an uninhabited island with no dangers... but what were the chances of that? To make matters worse, he realized that once again, he was separated from his group and was now in a sea of unfamiliar faces...

...great

Calling out to them would help much either. Hell. He didn't even know if they reached shore yet! But on the bright side, it looked as though their weapons have been suppli---or not...

"Do these even count as weapons?" He asked aloud to no one in particular, before selecting a rusty pipe, as well as a bag.

Yep! He could tell already. This trip was going to be a blast.

Tomoko hated water forever. No really. She was getting to the point where splinters and water and hate and dsf;alskdfh;sdkfjasdl;fhadlkfasdhfkalsfjadsf. However, all the Kitsune could do was shake as she slowly hobbled up to her feet once she'd regained conciousness...
.....
......

In possibly the strangest place ever.

The kitsune was soggy as she stood in the sand, looking out over the scene in front of her. Or rather, what of the scene she could see. Her ears drooped a bit, though they'd already been drooping before, because of how much water they'd taken on during the fun..uhh.. 'swim'.

Either way, she hobbled towards what she could hear of activity, looking sogging wet and miserable and ready to cry and needing a hug and-and-and... ;______;

This was the worst field-trip ever!

However, it did seem that despite managing to hold onto her ball-of-stars, Tomoko was without anything else she could use. But it seemed that a few other people in the hub-bub had found themselves some very nice brown bags. Which in turn sent the Kitsune looking for one of her own to put her prized possession in.

Eventually she found the tables, taking up one of the bags of supplies and shoving the ball of stars into it without taking another glance at it.

As for the second table...Tomoko picked up one of the empty First aid boxes and stared into it sadly, ears drooping, before she just hugged it to her chest and stepped out of the tent, looking around for someone to possibly gravitate towards in her pathetic state.

Complete with bandages on. She didn't manage to lose them somehow.

LW kept her gaze moving around, but not quite for the same reason Ren was. Alright that was part of the reason why. And she too was watching for others from her boat. She thought that she'd spotted Sheridan, but the fog made it hard to tell. And then she was still worried about Sarias finding her. Out here. With more space to do stuff. She looked back towards the supply tent they were approaching before glancing up at her best friend. "I...don't know. Hopefully they'll be here soon."

"That's MY Puppy, thank you very much," which was followed by, "Puppyyyyy...."

LW turned, his name on the tip of her tongue...and Ren screeched, totally overpowering anything she would have said. He preformed a similar throwing himself at the demon as he'd done with her. The she-wolf wheeled around with a huge smile on her face, violet eyes bright. He was ok! Gabrian was ok! And HE WAS HERE! Arms open and waiting...for the gryphon to tackle him...did Ren just kiss him too? LW blinked once. Twice. Once more and busted out in laughter. Oh how she'd missed the two of them! And where was her favorite rabbit ghoul? And fellow 'puppy'?

Ren stepped away from Gabe and LW took a couple steps forward, completely intending to wrap her arms around her boilfriend and tell him how much she missed him...until arms wrapped back around her as she was hugged tightly again. That was her best friend for you.

"Reeeeen!" LW whined at him and pointed at the demon still standing there, arms open and waiting. "You got to hug him already. Now it's my turn!" Since he was behind her, LW couldn't really use the pouty puppy dog eyes on him. She did thump him with her tail. "AND," the she-wolf added in a bemused tone, "you got to kiss him!" LW patted at his arms and tugged gently. "I'm going two feet into Gabe's arms. You aren't going to lose me in those two feet, I promise."
