His hand was unsteady, but at least these monsters were close -- and they were big, too. Vasily squeezed the trigger and the feeling of his weapon firing in his hand, even if it was more energy than bullet took his breath away for just a moment. He thought he liked that, and all the more so when the creature thrashed and screamed, torn through by the energy. It caught him along the leg in its death, but he didn't think about that.

Just thought about squeezing off two more quick shots.

One moment Fredrick had been saying hello to two people taking seats next to him, the next he'd been falling. He wasn't terribly proud of it in retrospect, but he definitely had screamed all the way down. After an additionally less than graceful landing, the new hunter really just hoped everyone else was too preoccupied with the mind-boggling events to notice his flailing. What had just happened, anyway? Hadn't they been on an island? So falling should have taken them into water, not...desert, right?

He reached up to tug at the collar of his shirt, already feeling a bit beaten down by the heat as he looked around. It was immediately obvious that he didn't have much time for thinking. Everywhere he looked people were fighting off centipedes bigger than anything he'd ever seen before. That couldn't be natural. That couldn't be- The sand at his feet began to shift and he cut off the thought as he scrambled backwards in an attempt to get away from the emerging centipede head.

On your feet, came Deadrick's voice, as steady as ever but again just a touch amused. Summon me.

"Of course!" As soon as his feet were set on the sand, he thrust a hand out to the side and was rewarded with the immediate appearance of the bladed whip. Actually fighting with it was going to be a test all its own, but he felt more confident in his chances now. Thank God there was only one centipede coming at him.

[ Zeke ]

It seemed as if, in the moment before Caelius had barged into the room, the temperature had dropped a degree or two. A chill had crawled it's way up Ezekiel's back just as the door crashed inwards, and he had a split second to wonder why, spot the Death lead, and hiss a curse under his breath before the floor was crumbling beneath his feet and every last hunter that had been gathered in the classroom fell.

Now that, all on it's own, was frightening enough, but it was where they landed that had the Mist scrambling back to his feet with a strangled, near panicked noise. Lagertha flashing immediately into life in his right hand. "Jesus ********-" It was bitten off as the ground beneath his boots shifted, bodies slithering through the sand.

{Steady, boil...}

This place was awful enough on it's own, but right after what they'd just been through? Too damn much.

Again, Vash turned and fired on the bugs -- but now he was starting to look a little bit woozy. The shudder of the gun in his hands made him waffle just a bit, one of the shots going wide as he was struck by more frantic, thrashing, dying centipede.

He was sunburning, too, he could feel it. His eyes lifted to seek out the safety of a tent longingly -- but there were still two of the monsters to go.

Centipedes!

They burst from the sand around him, massive pincers latching onto his arm, his leg, dragging a scream from his throat before he was able to throw them off.

Lagertha was swung wildly, slicing one of the nightmarish bugs in two, and as that one fell to the ground he rounded on anther. This time his strike was more precise, the sharpened points of the blades stabbing down into the head and body of the second. It faded to black and grey wisps as he brought the thick blade of his ax down on another.

Lysander's first instinct, other than looking for Ros was getting the hell out of the desert and away from the danger. He knew about pendants and knew what they were for, though he didn't really believe they'd work (after all that would mess with the ongoing game and the things which were trying very determinedly to kill him as he ran away across the dunes.)

He fished out his pendant and very hopefully said the activation words.

Nothing happened other than one of his pursuers catching up enough to take a small chunk out of his shield.

Pincers closed painfully around his ankle, worrying at the leather of his boot like a dog with a bone. It pulled another strangled noise from him, had him kicking at it in a distracted panic, and made him completely miss the second giant centipede crawling up the back of his leg. Until it two struck, biting into the meat of his back.

Another scream, and he nearly dropped Lagertha is his effort to grab the thing and tear it away from him, probably causing more damage to his shield in the process.

The second he was free of them he was on the assault. No longer calculated, easy attacks, but desperate chopping. They needed to die.

He could feel tiny bodies, tiny feet creeping over him, through him. They came at his will, did his bidding. He was their home. Their host.

Zeke didn't even notice when they stopped moving. He continued to chop at the dismembered bodies even as they started to darken into wisps of Fear.

Excuse her ears, but did Tobin just say he'd killed six of these little suckers??

Unacceptable.

Dottie let out an exasperated huff of breath, fingers twisting around the hilt of her weapon while she scoured the immediate area for more centipedes to distengrate. Spying two nearby-ish that were accosting Mr. Wanker from earlier during the orientation, she went "running" towards them, kicking up sand and really moving about as quickly as one could in this environment.

"Outta the way, baby-face!" She yelled, while haphazardly slashing and her katana around in a way that made it a miracle that she'd even managed to hit one, though at least that one was vaporized.

Even if it exploding all over her hurt like a b***h, it was still worth it.

It seemed to him that many of the newbies had paired off -- or merged together to small groups, fighting valiantly against the remaining bugs. His eyes raked over them, searching for someone injured and out of sorts, and finally settled on Zeke, instead. He seemed to be mashing the sand, not even centipede guts remaining for him to turn into soup, since the beasts had dissipated into smoke.

Ever grimaced, just a tiny bit, before he crossed carefully to put a hand on Zeke's shoulder. He didn't try to take the weapon away, or touch it, just to still the other man.

"Pretty sure they're dead." His tone was dry casually mocking, even if his expression was worried.

[ Peyton ]

Peyton couldn't even really say she was surprised to find herself in the heat of the desert randomly. This sort of s**t had happened enough times by now that she was just always sort of on alert for something strange to happen. If not an unexpected trip to a less than desirable destination, than certainly something chaotic and weird befalling the island.

So after getting to her feet and checking to make sure Roland and Ever had both survived the fall, she summoned her own weapons.

Just in time for a cluster of centipedes to show up.

"Are you --" She halfway pushed him out of the way to take out the last of the insects surrounding him and Vash, in response, drew in an indignant breath. Baby-face indeed; right now he just looked furious, jaw set and eyebrows pulled down furiously over his eyes.

"I don't need your help." And to emphasize his point, he fired quickly at the remaining centipede, struggling not to flinch as it lashed out at him in its death throes. He didn't entirely succeed at Stoic Cool Guy, but he did kill it, at least.

"I took out four of them before you even showed up, you know."

The events of the day went from talking, to more talking, to a few other people coming in, and then the floor was gone. Standing in the sand, Shay stood up slowly and looked around. "Ahh wow. We went through space. That guy is really in tune with himself."

When the bugs came, however, Shay did not move to attack even as Dai rumbled at her in the grim sense that maybe she should do something about the pinchers.

"Ohh sorry. I totally crashed your place. I'll move." Taking a few steps back, she watched at the bugs followed her, and decided to just keep walking back.

The food had been spotted, an arm moved in for attack from another and Artemis used it as distraction to steal another piece. Then everything went to hell in a hand-basket. Some guy came in, people shouted, then suddenly he was miserably hot.

Whyyyyyy?

Artemis found himself in a blanket of sand, the food he had vanished leaving him even more upset. Green eyes flickered around and then landed on the snack guy. Confusion had cleared up yet, so the teen just sat watching.

The Doctor sprang into action pulling some massive centipedes out of the sand and just going beast mode. Artemis stared in awe and mentally renamed the guy Dr. Badass. Michaels his left foot, this wasn't some plain a** guy like appearance and name let on, he was a tiny snack making devil!

Fingers pushed into the hot sand before something squirmed just under them. "Nope...nope..nope.." Artemis was on his feet in about two seconds, tried the summoning deal and again found his weapon outweighing him for a moment. A second to shift, adjust and Rivia was ready to go.

"Ok!" Artemis was pumped, three huge centipedes popped out at once and he went to swing. Forgetting it wasn't the best idea to close his eyes while doing so, but you know instinct, he didn't really want to see himself kill something.

Dottie was struggling somewhere between seething frustration that everyone was outdoing her, and obvious glee, showing with how she grinned after each centipede she took out. It was an odd and combustible combination, but it was one hundred percent how the woman operated during conflict.

"Oh well good for you." She sneered, her smile fading when she did some quick mental basic math.

"I've killed like, at least ten by now." She boasted, in an attempt to cover her previously obvious disappointment.

When all else fails, lie.

Rolling for Kai

He was at the desert, again, and Kai had only been here once already and nearly died. He didn't want to be the person who wound up being dragged out of some cave again from being attacked, but had felt a general sense of weakness at the last mission. The upside was that they were outside and not underground, and while there were bugs, there weren't people bits in jars. Bugs were more natural and made sense and didn't make him think about what his lungs looked like floating in a jar.

As the bugs came, he summoned Fin and looked down. Reading down to splat bugs wasn't really what he was wanting to do, but oh well.
