Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reign sighed at the man, patting Papina still. "We'll be there before too long. Just... breathe, okay...?" Reign wasn't the best at this whole comforting thing, but it was working... right?

Isdra's comment went winging over Mr. Mysterious to go hang out with the gulls. Slowing the boat carefully lost speed as an island appeared on the horizon. Putting the boat in idle, Mr. Mysterious moved towards the girls. Roughly he cleared a space on the floor.

Pulling out a blueprint the man spread it out for the girls. Gesturing at the island and back to the paper he started to point out the location of guards.

"Eh?" Papina lifted her head from its hidden position to look at what Reign was talking about. She blinked, then slowly slithered off of Reign - although she kept a grip on the marmoset girl's hand. She sat down on her heels so she could get a better view of the map and started to study what Mr. Mysterious was showing them, carefully enfolding the knowledge within her mind so she wouldn't forget. The loosening of her grip told just how engrossed she was in remembering all this.

((Edit: I'm adding this since no one else has posted since, it's one sentence, and Papina herself isn't doing anything. It's just something I forgot to post first time around. ;>.x))

Unknown to anyone, Papina's cell phone started to blink and vibrate as the alarm went off, letting anyone who would notice it that it was getting really close to the thirty minute mark; soon a certain over-bearing someone would be making a racket by calling the police and anyone else she could get in contact with to say her daughter must be in trouble since she hasn't called on time and that they must send out rescue parties in search of her.

Reign made a mental note of the path. Hopefully, she could remember it once things turned 3D. She remained at the map while the man moved up to guide the boat closer. Finally, the boat stopped and the chimp girl looked up. With only a frown for the thought of how the water was going to ruin her dress, Reign slipped into the water, carefully following the man.

Impatient, Mr. Mysterious gestured for Reign and Isdra to go head. Wading out to the boat he reached his hand out to Papina. Noticing the the phone in her hand the man pulled himself out of the water. Dripping water onto the deck he pluck the phone out of the ivy relic's hand.

Moving to the other end of the speedboat he answered the phone. "Papina can't talk right now. She's helping out at the Musaeum and the shields do something funny to the reception in there. I'll have her call as soon as she's done." It was quite possibly the longest speech the man had made in years. His voice was oddly atonal and quiet, pronouncing his vowels oddly. After a few more reassuring answers the man hung up and slipped back over the side of the boat.

Impatiently he gestured towards Papina. "Nara does not have the time for you to decide if the water is friendly or not," the man whispered harshly, "If we're lucky, we may still find her alive." This was not just a lark and some shiney new toys. They frankly did not have the luxury of taking their time. The fate of all the scroll children stood on their shoulders (or at least most of them).

Reign moved carefully through the water, trying not to make too much noise with splashes and such. If they were supposed to be sneaking in, they wouldn't want to notify everyone that they were there.

The chimp girl paused behind one of the last rocks before the shore, glancing back to make sure that everyone else was still coming. She spotted Papina in the water, looking as if she would rather be anywhere else.

Following behind Papina Mr. Mysterious kept them moving at a fairly quick pace. Finally reaching the shore, the man hunkered down behind a fairly large boulder. Digging into the pebbley beach he sketched a quick map out and gestured for the girls to get their weapons out. He himself drew a simply gun shaped weapon. Loading it with darts, he moved quickly to the monastary's wall like a dark shadow.
