The boy staggered, once again feeling the bite of something on his bony calf. There were things under the water after all... But he kept trudging through the water. He had to cross this bog, even if the creatures bit off his legs he would pull himself along. The King had such high hopes for them all.
But the boy reached the other side without further injury, wearily moving onto higher ground and out of the dark water. He made no move to wipe off the dark smears or the even darker blood on his leg. It could wait.

"...You know what, it wouldn't hurt." Amrita murmured to herself, stopping her attempted exit of the sector to look at the crystalline flowers at her feet. She only had 11, but she was feeling completely fine. It wouldn't hurt to try and bring more back for her King, would it? So she knelt, plucking another five, and flinching through their zaps.
With that done, she didn't feel the need to risk any more; she had been lucky so far, but didn't want to push it. So she pressed on, resuming her trek towards the next sector.

There was about three seconds whereupon Sharra was truly able to delight in the victory of arriving at the last area, gazing upon the glowing statue before them. This surely the end of this particular quest, this mission that their Commander had sent them on. Relief washed over the young man in waves...
And then he spied Marosa, the Ganerie's voice easily catching sharp ears. There was a visible wince, eyes going wide only to narrow once more as a myriad of emotions and thoughts trekked across the blond's features. "You're a fine one to talk." It was almost a growl, glad that the other Officer was alive, certainly, but it seemed that the redhead's survival had been a near thing.
When the other drew near, both of the Orychanian's hands shot out to grasp the jacket Marosa wore, slit pupils narrowing even further as he glared at his friend, a hint of fang flashing as frustration, worry and anger coalesced into one terrible emotion. Only dimly had he heard his crewmate's words concerning Sharra's personal level of attractiveness. "Why didn't you wait for me!? I've spent this entire damn time wondering if you were in one solid piece!" Which clearly the other was not and that made it exponentially worse.
The vindictive wrath drained slowly from his expression, and there was a pause, a beat as any bystander would have visibly been able to observe the mind of the weapon tech travel backwards, to the part of the conversation he'd nearly run over with his scolding. Oh. Blinking at Marosa for an extended second, Sharra then relaxed his grip on his friend's attire. "Marosa..." It was stern, bemused, and exhausted, too tired to fully process everything that was going on, sensations and potential that was hitting him all at once, the Orychanian leaning forward to gently bump his forehead against the Ganerie's own, blond lashes lowering. "Shut up."
And when next he opened his eyes, he had his lips less than delicately pressed to the redhead's own.
It had been forceful, he realized absent-mindedly, and coloring ever so slightly he drew away, suddenly unwilling to meet the other's gaze. He had absolutely no idea what his childhood friend would think about that. "C'mon. We've got some flowers to take care of. Let's go for half." And he gave Marosa's shoulder a light squeeze before moving on, leaving the moment between them hanging. Heh. They had a Kingdom to save, after all. He'd have to deal with his knot of unsorted feelings later.

Concetta was placed back on her feet when the ground got firmer and she gratefully squeezed Snap's arm. The companion remained silent, green lips ever pressed into a hard line.
She glanced back at all those struggling through the muck, even Jerry, and a satisfied smile spread over her rouged lips. She went about collecting the crystalized flowers, hissing slightly as the first one sapped her strength from her hand.
"Oh hells no.." She muttered with a scowl. "Snap.. get them for me." She rubbed her hand and made the bottom of her dress into a bit of a pouch to collect all of them.

Ce continued to hold out her skirt as Snap continued to dutifully pick them, not making a sound as their mutual strength sapped little by little. Cee actually had to stop her with a hand, eyes narrowed venomously. She wasn't angry at her companion, but more at the situation.
"That's enough." She breathed with a slight hiss. "We got enough for our new Kingdom I think."
When she got back she was definitely changing. Sweet new living conditions had to come with this gig, right?

Those dark eyes of his looked thoroughly along the sparkling crystal flowers that held the precious miasma. Finally. He'd made it to the destination he was here for. Vaska knelt slowly before the glistening flowers, and carefully reached out to pluck as many as he could, cradling what ever he harvested in the crook of his other arm, cushioned by his fluffy stole that resided there.
Six flowers, all nestled comfortably in the fluff of his thick stole. Goodness.. those had... really taken a bit of energy out of him. He'd already suffered quite a heavy toll in the sectors before, and... now... his eyes gazed at the remaining flowers littered about but.. he couldn't bring himself to pluck them. As much as he might want to, Vaska knew his limits, and he wasn't hanging on by much. It would be best to make off with what he had now, than try to risk taking on more and failing miserably. And so, bone wings sagging a little, he curled the arm that contained the precious cargo, and headed off to the next sector.

Acerium ignored all the critters around her. They weren't bitey so that was fine.
"Either way, though... I think I want to see whats next. Lets go! ooo, I bet your emperor will be happy when we bring him all these flowers!" She said your. She was still silver, no matter what. For a moment she wondered with some of her usual cheer whether she could find any pretty silver leaf jewelery to wear in the Gold Kingdom...
[Entering Sector E]
Then her mood dropped as the flowers began slurping at her dwindling energy. her headache increased to misery proportions and she drooped... or maybe wilted. "urrrrrrrrgh..." she mumbled, dragging herself forward. People seemed to be throwing flowers into the statue at the center... and a few were taking out flowers that were EVEN PRETTIER than before. She dragged herself over and decided to follow suit.
[Acerium is all in. Rolling next post like the rules tell me to!]

[Acerium is going all in with 13 flowers... ******** it. her head hurt like crazy. like hell was she going back to the gold kingdom without her bouquet for her trouble. She dumped the whole thing into the water and poked at them a bit. for a moment, she thought that their glowing red shapes had sunk into the depths forever... and was very annoyed. Then, one by one, they reappeared, glowing VERY prettily. She gathered them all up and slumped back against the fountain. "Ahahaha! It worked!" she said to Imyrn, hugging her purified bouquet gleefully.

For a moment, the world seemed to slow down.
And then Jerry's immediate concern was the crocodile at his leg. Jerry screamed, swinging his crowbar frantically.

Suddenly Roar swept in, throwing a massive arm around the crocodile. "RUN YOU IDIOT." He snarled.
And so Jerry did.
Straight into a tentacled plant with gaping jaws. The hit-man screamed afresh.

The boggy ground slowly solidified under his feet, until the boy was once again walking on packed dirt and long grass. Mud and blood began to dry on his legs, smearing and eventually flaking off at the touch of the long grass. He began to notice the crystals then, deeper and redder than his own blood, little flowers scattered everywhere amongst the long grass.
He crouched in front of one, staring at it for lone long minute before plucking it from the ground. The crystalline flower stung, cutting into the flesh of his fingers without leaving a trace.

Jerry cried a little. He missed good, solid concrete under his feet. He was never leaving the city again.

Soren bent down, picking up one of the red blossoms to examine. The simple effort to pluck the flower seemed to wear him down slightly but he pushed that aside, focusing instead on what was in his hands. It seemed like such a shame to destroy the flora, a sentiment he did not know why he had, but he ignored the peculiar feeling and turned back to the sea of flowers for him to choose from.
