"I thought the line was supposed to be 'That's Mister ba-na-na boy to you'." Arland threw his best Zazu impersonation together, giving it a rather accurate go, all things considered. "'Noke's right, though, man. Last time there were bodies we were all having wicked dreams and they turned out to be sacks of potatoes or bags of garbage... This could be another trick or it could be the real thing."

That didn't seem to keep the other Moon trainee from jumping into the portal. He paused by Inoke long enough himself to point a thumb in the direction of the trainee that had gone ahead of him. "I like him." He flashed his friend a grin before taking the route of chaos and hopping through the portal himself without asking questions about where they were going to wind up...

And instantly regretting it on the other side.

He wanted to turn back. Or throw up. Both, maybe, if it wouldn't have meant making a mess of the next person through the portal (Inoke, if he was still following, and the Sun trainee would never let him live that down). He had seconds to pull his scarf up over his mouth and nose before the sand whipped up again, obscuring his view of everything and doing nothing about the stench.

He turned to say something to Inoke only to find himself losing footing. He cursed, trying to remember anything he might have known about quicksand and then forgetting it the moment he realized that there were teeth. Nothing He knew about quicksand involved teeth.

Wide-eyed and slightly panicked, Arland put a little bit more focus in trying to find the Moon trainee that had gone in ahead of him, not wanting to be responsible for his death, and Inoke. "Jasper? Hey, man!" He tried to steady himself. "Inoke! Christ, it's ******** Tremors."

Tugging Harland along and following the crowd had proved to be a mistake, as soon as they were through the portal she gagged. The blast of hot, repulsively foul air and sand to her eyes bringing out a throaty whine. Tossed easily by the winds she was more than thankful when Harland grabbed on to her, giving her some ground to summon Aprulz. "Thank's partner.." She choked up to Harland as he tried to pull them out by the tooth. Her being brave hadn't even crossed her mind, the comment making her feel ten times as guilty as she watched Harland struggle in the sand ahead of her. Struggling herself to fight against getting closer to those teeth she started to panic.


《☢ Relax, stupid, unless you want to be ate, I suggest you do something useful aside from wetting yourself.

Not very helpful that weapon of hers, but wanting to shut him up she got a rather quick idea. Pushing the handle of Apruzl into the sand she pulled against him, it was hard but she managed to not sink too much. Lilac pulled the hilt up and tried again, wondering if there was a way for her to swing herself ahead of Aprulz like this.When shots rang out she paled, holding her breath that a stray bullet didn't find her.


《☢ Not exactly what I meant ..but I give you credit for being creative...

Noemi hadn't, though she should've, expected a large vast desert of Death. She had only a brief moment of Milo tightening his hold on her and then they were separated by jagged huge fangs and bodies. Why was there so many bodies?

"No...nononono." she started to scramble in the sand, only causing herself to sink further within. She sputtered the grainy mess out, trying to find air. In the distance, she could hear both Jack and Milo...and maybe Finn laugh?

"Jack! M...Milo!" She called out with panic rising high..."What do I do? What do I do? ¿Qué puedo hacer?"

Evan stepped through the portal and was immediately assaulted by the whipping winds and the pungent smell, almost driving him back the way he came. Instead, he tugged his scarf up to cover his nose and mouth, huddled into his coat as best he could, and squinted against the driving sandstorm. He took one step forward and immediately started sinking into the sand. It shifted beneath his feet, dragging him downwards, and he got a brief glimpse of huge, sharp teeth before he started sliding down.

His curse was muffled in his scarf as he scrambled for purchase, the sand resisting his attempts to slow his own descent. Finally, he dug his feet in and pushed back against the sand, his boots catching on something at least semi-solid--enough to stop him where he was, for now. Once he felt confident enough that he wouldn't slip, he looked to see what had stopped him.

He wasn't surprised to find that it was a dead Hunter--at least, part of one. He was starting to think life had been safer when he hadn't been on the island.

Just as she thought she was making headway, a random pieces of something she couldn't make out in the sandstorm whacked her. Falling hard, the sand and likely some of the teeth bit at her knees bloodying them. "Ahh!" Hissing in pain she quickly pulls herself up and tries to move back up, peering behind her for Harland and wincing in seeing him right behind her. They had to get out of here, they just had too!

Distance: 23!!!

This was going to be a lesson and a valuable one: do not hop through strange portals as a trainee unless you absolutely have to. Unless you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you will not immediately die upon reaching the other side. Almost immediately she was wrenched away from Hanna, losing her footing, and hearing a very familiar voice name the thing in front of her. "Sarlacc?!" Terror flavored the trainee's voice as she tried to gain her footing and failed, over and over again.

Churning all but tore at her legs, sand gritted into her eyes, and it was impossible to see. Almost impossible to move. Kidana was trying to coach her but even the revenant's voice was becoming desperate. Had they come to their first true mission to die already? Die in a Sarlacc's stomach?

No they had ******** not!

Screaming at her charge Kidana got the redhead to try and anchor the bow into the sand as leverage, to keep her back. It was a very close thing -- they were dangerously close to the mouth and there was almost no one to keep Camille from being devoured by the void.

GRAVE DANGER!!


Hauling herself up Cami tried to take a step, red hair flapping like a banner in the sandstorm. She could feel herself slipping again, getting ever closer to that horrible mouth that gaped darkness at her like a nightmare. It was everything she'd ever feared: facing the darkness, alone, with hope having been snatched out of her chest. Had she thought that Deus was going to help her fear?! Did she honestly think that a silly girl like herself, who had nothing but a smile for the world and nothing else to offer, would be able to defeat the darkness? Things that lurked only laughed at her feeble attempts to fight back.

Yet she was human so she reached out, desperately trying to find something, anything. All she found was a corpse. A corpse that had her reeling back and losing precious ground because it was very dead and very much not helpful. Without warning, without even her full will, a scream was torn from her throat in a painful way, burning its way to the top.

< You might want to try and grab a hold of something > Trynt's deep and growling voice suggested, his tone dry, and Finn had to grit his teeth mentally just as hard as he was already doing physically to keep from making a snarky return comment to his weapon, who was, as always, impossibly obvious in his remarks.

Of course, that wasn't to say that Trynt didn't have a point, but would it do him any good to summon the weapon here, to use him as he had done before, and stick him in the ground in an attempt to anchor himself? The way the sand shifted at an angle, dragging everyone to the center maw, he just wasn't sure it would work....

But what did he really have to lose right now? Anything would be better then...well, what Jack had attempted that one time by throwing his weapon, before losing it. Ya, that had definitely been the dumbest thing Finn had ever seen. Nothing he did right now could have been stupider then that.

Feeling secure in the fact that he now could not do any stupider then his friend had done in the past, Finn summoned his weapon, while looking around, searching for something....

There, within reaching distance of his lance, a pole of some kind sticking out of the ground. Finn reached for it with the bladed end of his weapon, hooked onto it, and pulled, hoping that the damn thing wouldn't break, that it could hold his weight.

He made it to the post, and grabbed on, using it to anchor himself, his weapon desummoned again so that he could use one hand to hold on and the other to adjust his scarf, wrapping it around his nose and mouth to block out the gusts of sand, and muffle the cloying scent of rotting death in the air.

In the distance, he heard a voice shouting, and though it hadn't asked for Finn's opinion at all, he decided to shout back.

"You can see if throwing your virgin body into the gaping maw as a sacrifice might save us all, sweetheart!" The wind was blowing so hard, he was fairly certain his words had been sent right back into his teeth rather then reaching her.

That was probably for the best, anyways.

She would always sink, she supposed. If ever there was a close approximation to the heavy depression she had fallen under, this many-toothed maw would qualify. Stormy mindlessly scrabbled for purchase as she felt herself get closer and closer to being swallowed, glad she had managed to pull her scarf up; at least she wouldn't asphyxiate.

Something struck her from beneath: half of a corpse of another Mist hunter dragged her back as she cried out, the exposed bones of its spine and broken ribs caught in her clothes. Thane's cooling presence on her frantic thoughts only made them solidify on one prospect: there was nothing more to be done to stop her descent.

At least there were options on how to go about it. In desperation Stormy clutched at a collected pile of corpses, the smell making her stomach turn over several times. It too was sinking with her, but at least it allowed her a few moments to shout Gale's name, scanning quickly around.

He was up far ahead. Thank God.

"Gale!"

It wasn't a cry for help so much as a call to grab his attention one more time. She wore a somber look, reflecting the knowledge that she would be swallowed in mere seconds; but he had a right to know where she was at least before that happened.

((14 - 10 = 4))

Evan made use of the brief moment of respite, careful not to shift too much lest the corpse he was bracing himself on resume its slide down and take him with it. He summoned his weapon, gingerly digging the teeth of the blade into the sand, hoping to snag something solid on the long canine.

/This is gross,/ Gir whined. /This is gross and I want a bath now!/

Later, Evan promised, when we get out of this. When, and not if; ever the optimist.

Finally, Evan managed to strike something solid, the teeth of his weapon sinking in and digging deep. He tugged and was relieved when the blade held fast. Struggling against the sand, he managed to pull himself upwards.

[Lighthouse to SAHAAAAAARAAAAAAAA]

If not Mimsy and Robert were lost track and he did suggest head back to the dorm building, she would definitely kindly ask him to be her Teddy Bear. She needed someone to be with her, no matter who. Certainly, the Prince was a better choice, she does like him, he's funny and cute and share the same interest. However, reality was reality, they needed to head to the lighthouse instead.

The calling of princess earned a soft giggle, though she was kinda worried about the Life couple. She saw hunters entering the portal and with an eye contact with the prince, she jumped into it. He had his freedom to enter or not, it might be dangers behind, so she looked at him to confirm his will first.


====== I AM THE BORDER TO SAHARA =====


The petite girl didn't expect to go to such a place, she never visit it, but surely it was familiar. The wind was whistling and the visibility was low because of the flying sand. Desert was its name. But which one it was? Would it be the famous Sahara desert? The Death Trainee quickly covered her mouth and nose with her, re-clipped the decoration clip onto her hair and put on her hood.. The sand that hit her face was with a touchable warmness and the air she breathed in resembled that remitted by acids. The situation was very harsh for trainees who were just like new born chicks.

She didn't know what to do, so the trainee just wandered around aimlessly. "Mimsy! Robert! Are you here?" She yelled. A burst of strong wind swept by and she was pushed here and there, like a feeble little flower. "Ah!" She fell down. Suddenly, it was oddly quieted, something bad was going to happened. The sand was like a group of dancers previously soloed and now reunited and moved together, forming a swirl. The sand around her was given life and wrapped around her calf, slowly pulling her down-slope. She looked around and found several hunters stuck like her, but they were not Mimsy or Robert, all dragging down towards the bottom of the slope.

It was hard to move upward, but she struggled and climbed. Where's the prince? She hoped he was alright, she didn't want to lose a friend that quick. The girl heard screams from behind, a quick glance brought horrifying discovery - sharp teeth tinted with blood were waiting for them.

Was she in a nightmare again, Alice?

"Mimsy! Robert! Prince Edgar? Anyone hear me?" She shouted while trying to move further away from the creature, Z was summoned to make a firmer grasp.

Distance: 19



Melvin could only hope that the person left behind was collected and taken to be properly examined and identified. As per orders, he followed after the rest but kept a distance from Mimsy and her overprotective boyfriend.

Passing Mark, he stepped inside the portal.

He didn't like the desert. The last time he went, he had been invaded by body and mind controlling bugs. Coupled with the fresh smell of some type of rot, he had to turn and empty the contents of his stomach out onto the dry sand. This left a unpleasant acid taste mixed with bits of sand, and he took a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his mouth and use it as a way to cover his mouth from onslaught of sand.

Through the blinding sand and the whipping wind, his senses were shot and he was left looking about for anyone from before. Before he could do anything, he realized he was sinking. Down.

That's not good!

You think!

He watched as best he could through the swirling sands before he saw the stark bleach white of teeth and vital black blood of organ and muscle. Bodies, or parts of, were littered about, and he felt the urge to vomit again.

The first plan of action - don't get eaten. He turned himself and stared to paw at the sand to climb out.

"Cami!!" Jasper called out in alarm. He was blessing and cursing the heavy framed goggles now. They kept the sand out of his eyes but damn if it wasn't trying awfully hard to get in.

Top that off with clarity of vision of the bodies strewn about in a horrid jolt of 'too real too fast' as his exuberant nature tried to compensate with perhaps more than a touch of crazy fantasy land and hero delusions.

The sight of that bright red hair sliding past in a flurry of sand and saturated-color stockings may have helped ground him too. Fear paralyzed, that sensation of numb trembling that made your joints into puff pastry crawling with ants on your nerve endings and the sharp bite of bile rising in the back of his throat.

Those people were dead, really honest to god dead. Cami was at best feet from dead, the sickness and nausea was a hard fist in the gut. He had to try and help!


He lashed out half blind and caught at an arm, his cheer was brief in its triumph, turning into a far more horrified sound at what he'd latched on to. Whomever it had been was for a good while now, deseased and did little more than drag him down towards Cami and the maw faster with a torrent of curses.

Pulling himself out was only making him sink faster, and he felt the sudden panic as he realized more and more hunters were above him and less and less was below. Less being a set of very large teeth.

You have to grab onto something! Yell out! DO SOMETHING!!


"HE-" He managed before a wave of sand hit him, blinding him and throwing his glasses off and into the sand. s**t! Blinded, he looked about and saw enough of his goggles before they sank into the sand.

Then he felt a sudden weight smack his side and he fell into the sand. Dazed, he pulled himself up from the sea of sand before he reached out and smacked right into a tooth. With nothing else aside from a dark gaping maw of sand where all the swirling sand was now falling into like a horrible Niagara, he grabbed the tooth and hung on for dear life - because if he didn't, he wouldn't have that life anymore.
