Welcome to Gaia! ::

He hadn't noticed Jude at first, but when the man looked run down from fighting so hard, and protecting even him, Robert couldn't help but give him an assist back. He slapped a band-aid right on Jude's shoulder and patted him on the back. "Hey, buddy. Looks like you're tearin' up the town on your own, aren't you?" He grinned, before turning Jude around to give him a once over. "Anything specific hurt, or just general shittiness?"

Jake received a half-hearted scowl. She had just rolled out of bed, and she was probably blushing again. Before she could think of a decent reply, however, someone else joined them.

The new voice almost startled her, even though it was familiar. "A land eclipse?" She didn't understand what that meant, but it sounded ominous. Eclipses were neat, but at the same time they did bring darkness. "I hope it's the techs," she sighed. That at least would mean the world wasn't ending. Even as she had replied, Stormy had stepped away, giving assistance to someone in need.

Still, Sherry smile. "Good to see you, too." Sherry liked knowing where her favorite newbies were. It was good to know they were safe. It seemed like Jake was leaving to offer his own assistance, too. Which left Sherry alone, for a moment anyway.

There was never really any shortage of folks that needed help. And for heaven's sake, Sherry was a healer. She knew that much. Which was why she stopped by for a brief moment to check on a Mist trainee she did not recognize in the least, marking the blonde as a possible newbie."Hang in there, alright!"

She stayed long enough to make sure the girl was more or less alright (hunter's could handle themselves, after all), and then she was off again.

They were just everywhere. Whatever was spawning these things, it was reproducing like bacteria, and Melvin cringed as swarms moved like black mounds of rats around them. It reminded him of the training courses on the island, but outside the safety perimeters that would keep him from being chewed on if he became overwhelmed.

Everyone seemed on edge, and Melvin heard a woman shout aggressively to the rest of them. At least someone was taking charge. Moving over, he aimed his gun and pointed to her back, firing a plasma round right at her. The energy would be absorbed into her shield.

"Got it." He said, answering her command.

The place was chaos. The place had gone to the dogs. Everyone was running left and right, and where one body ended, another black little mob began.

Pasha was getting a headache just looking at it all.

Squeaking when a shadowling leapt from one of the masses at her, Pasha forgot that Táo was, well, a rifle, and batted the thing like it was a ball and she was up to bat. Of course, that did little to help - as soon as one went flying, another took its place. She was only saved from an immediate bout of panicking by another girl rushing by. "T-thank you!" She stuttered in a voice that seemed almost too small to be heard when Sherry took the time to heal her before rushing back into the fray. "Um - b-be careful, please - ah!"

Because getting jumped by another mob of shadowlings usually made someone shriek. Pasha turned around and fired into the dark, squirming masses, leaping and bounding and trying to avoid the scratching, reaching, biting claws. What a mess, what a mess, what a mess!

Marcus heard a few things. Gale was cursing. Ami was yelling. Leon was being a sass master. All typical.


"I'd never thought I'd see the day when you would coo on the battlefield." He smirked at Ami. It was all he said but smirk was rather telling.
'You like him.'

Still, there were more important things to deal with. Like protecting their homes. "Well, at least it's not dragons!"

Nevada rolled out of the way of the mob and kept firing Leroy, hoping that it would do some kind of good.

Luckily enough, she rolled right into Ami and Jake group, smiling at the two grumpy cuties.

"Hi you two." She smiled.
