"I'm sorry," she said, her words hollow. "B-But I'm not going anywhere."
Is this what it means to be a hunter? I don't want to be a hunter any longer.

[Security Detail - East]Shiloh finally managed to pull himself away from the ocean, and turned to look at the hunter he was standing beside. He didn't know him, but that didn't matter, he stuck his hand out anyway, giving him a wry smile. "Relatively. Name's Shiloh."

"Right . . ." Her head was fuzzy, like it took a little bit longer for her to remember things. "I, um, I can bandage a little, but . . . Life . . . right." If it wasn't Insanity, though, what was it?
Cap'n might know . . . but she would probably be reporting to the Caves, and the last thing Stormy wanted to do was interrupt her; Mr. Lex probably would be at her heels or something, though she also disliked bothering him (albeit for different reasons). So she fired off a quick text to the one other person she knew in the division.xGrnGriff Text to SherrySomethings up, got hunter down western side if u can come

Even under the circumstances she could see that she was very pretty, perhaps only a few years older than he was, though about the same height (a fact that made him internally wither with exasperation). Otto, of course, was the same as ever.
Gale scrutinized her a bit.
"Joke?" he repeated, and shook his head. "Nope. You must have me mistaken for someone else; I don't think I know you."

Security Detail - East
Peyton was already there, eyes staring widely at the long length of tentacle as he slithered back beneath the black waves. Knuckles molten from the force with which she was clutching at Warrick.
The left side was heavier. A lock hung from the base of the curved blade, chains crawling over her hand.
The alarm had woken her, and in a rush she'd grabbed her coat and raced from her room, heading for anyone that could tell her what was going on, or at the very least, what she should be doing. The first person she'd run into had pointed her to the east, and she'd gone without question. Racing through the hall and out of the dorms towards the shore.
Now she was standing immobile as she watched the water, terrified.
She didn't notice Taym at first. Her attention was on the beast that lurked below and the memory of an encounter with a similar creature.

Someone else had come to speak with Clerise, and Mimsy watched her curiously, wondering what she was doing. Was it genuine? Don't take this from me, she reflexively wanted to say, but she held her tongue in favor of responding to her cousin instead.
At least she didn't want a hug. She was thankful for that much.
"Aw, hey. Don't hurt yourself. We wouldn't want that." She forced another smile, more false than the last, and folded her coat sleeve over her thumb to dab at the blood on Clerise's lip. "And you don't have to go anywhere at all until you're ready."
Jerry got a very firm look.

Ian reached out a hand and grasped the other's in a firm handshake. "Ian," he said, and smiled slightly. "This is Naomi," he added, holding up the dagger in his hand. Inside of his head, Naomi made a soft, irritated noise, which Ian ignored.
"I'm new here too," Ian continued, sliding his glance towards the others that had started to gather. "I was expecting it to be chaotic here, but ah, it's been quite...well, interesting, to say the least."
He idly turned the dagger over in his hands. "First I get thrown onto a zombie cruise ship and almost drown, and now this..."
It was not said with any sort of irritation or anger, more like an interested curiosity instead, Ian's gaze sweeping out across the blue and black ocean that stretched in front of them.

Jerry's brows furrowed as he grimaced back at Mimsy, face reddening behind the stubble and scars before he pushed his glasses up his nose and looked back to the doorway where the Hunters that had gotten there before them had crashed through. "I didn't say we had to leave- but don't let your guards down is all I'm trying to say. Whatever did this... could still be here for all we know!"
Someone had to be a lookout if everyone else was going to fall to pieces.
He had to have something to concentrate on or the panic would seize him. All things considered, they were handling this well.
I see nothin', Roar murmured. The weapon caught enough through Jerry's eyes and was uncharacteristically short and cold. Clarice was dead. How could she be dead. It was impossible.

[Western Security]"I'll send out a text. Times like these, remember: Never be alone." Bix nodded to Stormy with a nugget of valuable advice he'd learned. "We'll stay here until someone else comes along." Attn: Life Hunters Hunter down on western perimeter. Strange black corruption. Seems to be in pain. Any help appreciated. Bix sent out a mass text. "No headset or walkie so text is gonna have to do." Dealing with this was definitely helping him not think about what he just woke up from. But... it had to be connected. There no coincidences ever, he had learned.

EastHe saw Peyton before she saw him, and he hesitated. He remembered a lot. Enough to make him uncomfortable. But everything was confusion and uncertainty and Peyton always seemed at least somewhat self-assured and he needed an anchor, anything at all would do, and so he ghosted up alongside her and the chains twining up the knife hilt rattled to warn her he was coming. "What are we supposed to be doing?" he asked lowly, voice tight and nervous. He didn't like looking like an idiot, but that was the only word for what he was at the moment.

Waking to the sound of alarms, Kat made all haste towards the crystal caves. Arriving too late to see what had happened to the life hunter assistant, Kat merely stood there wide eyed and oblivious to what went down. Though judging from everyone's moods, it was probably best she remained silent for now.
(( sorry, rushed post. I need to shower. ))

Behind them, the doctor's voice intoned smoothly, "Unless you're competent enough at the moment to retrieve information from the remains and whatever's left of the equipment, step back. In fact," he raised his eyes brows with a pleasant smile, "go away and inflict your useless confusion on some other area."
The doctor's eyes scanned the room, briefly landing on Clerise, Sasha, and Mimsy. "Hmmm, you there, yes you. Congratulations, you're now the Life assistant. Get to work."
A small, rather rotund young gawker pointed at himself, and looked around, panic and dread filling his features.

Slowly, the frozen smile on her face faded, her expression shifting into one of disbelief as she stared at him. He really wasn't the type to kid around, was he? Especially not at a time like this, so if that was the case, then...
Then he's...really forgotten me? But how? It didn't look like he had forgotten Otto, and he didn't seem any different overall, but--
Her heart suddenly began to ache. She cast her eyes downwards, leaning forward slightly so that her dark hair shielded her face as she tried to collect herself, her hands balled into fists in her lap. Just what was she supposed to do in this kind of situation? It wasn't as if she could suddenly just make him remember again, and then there was this man, who should be their main priority right now...
Swallowing a lump that had suddenly risen in her throat, Eva pushed herself up to her feet, hands clutched together tightly behind her back as she faced Gale. After a moment of hesitation, she smiled again, an exaggeratedly bright one that didn't reach her eyes. "Is that so?" the girl chirped, her tone cheerful, "We've run into each other before, but I guess I didn't make much of an impression! My name is Eva. Nice to...to meet you."
Her voice cracked a little at the end, the smile faltering as her lips trembled. Clearing her throat, she hastily turned away, busying herself with pulling off her coat to drape over the naked man's figure. "Geez, poor guy! What do you think, Gale? Otto? Should we carry him to the infirmary?"

A petite figure ran down to the gathered hunters, in the distance, several more were trying to catch up. "Keep back," Sunny snapped, putting on a mask and gloves, all glowing with runes. "Someone give me details."

The sudden voice of authority made Jerry snap to attention, a look of gratitude dripping off of him. "Sir!" He had to assume the man was high ranking, judging by the markings on his coat and general air to his command. "What about the rest of us, Sir? I didn't see what caused this but it could still be around, sir!" He was shaking, but the military mindset was something easy to grip onto, but he was at a loss what to do beyond that. He trusted whoever this man was to help with that.
