"Yes, yes.' He gave Alaska a friendly pat. He turned around in his chair to survey the other hunters, catching sight of the ones he had met earlier. "Hey, are you guys doing all right?" He called out to Ryan, Saya, Wilson, and Kat. "How's the food? Delicious?" Nevermind the strangeness of it all.. he reached for an onion ring on Alaska's plate, munching on it as if he didn't have a care in the world.
"Are all hunter missions this strange?" The more experienced hunters would surely know..

He had subconsciously shifted his chair closer to Stormy, his fingers curled around hers as half a grappling anchor to keep him locked in the present, and half because he just wanted to make sure that she was still there.
She looked a little vague. Gale's eyes flickered as he felt her squeeze his hands again, both of them trying to just hold on. "I don't know," he answered her quietly. "It didn't sound like a familiar voice, but..."
They had seen something. Seen someone. And the pieces to the puzzle were all there, but it was like they were scattered too far for him to reach out and grasp, to put back together again.
He caught Stormy's glance and wordlessly slid his half empty glass towards her.
"If this ends up the same as it did in the Sahara," Gale said in a low, tight voice. "Watching everyone...I'm not sure that I can..."
The rest of the sentence was lost, a look of frustration appearing on his face.

Her eyes widened slightly when Sin casually grabbed one of her onion rings. Alaska furrowed her brows and resisted the temptation to smack his wrist. “Rude. You don’t just take food from my plate without asking,” she chastised before grabbing more onion rings. And you know what? She grabbed a salmon fillet too because screw this mission.
Wilson shrugged as he finished his soup noisily. “As expected, the food is good. But uh…” Now the death hunter was eating the chicken breast. “Define strange.” Which probably meant yeah.

She took the glass with a small nod and lifted it. As she drank, Stormy caught Tuck's look from before and could only lift it as if to toast before downing even more. Stormy wanted to check on her brothers personally, but Tuck looked engaged and Evan...Hopefully Evan was alright too, though it was hard to catch the sun hunter in the throng.
The half empty glass became completely empty before she set it back down and nudged it back towards Gale, letting the wine coat her insides like insulation. "It isn't the Sahara," she told him calmly, watching as he grew frustrated and losing some of that distance in her eyes. "It's different. We didn't die. Do what I do and don't think about it if it helps. Think about the good food instead." If time was rewinding, fine; Stormy wanted to take advantage of it while they could, while they were allowed to pretend they were on a vacation cruise.
She ran her thumb along his fingers as she grabbed a fork and started to force it to cut the salmon with her free hand. "I'm here too, Gale," Stormy added softly, echoing the words he'd given her in his room. "Don't let what's going on control you."

Saya's answer was unusually vague as well, unable to meet SIn's eyes. She had nearly forgotten what it was like to be a new hunter, without an idea of the hell you were thrown in. She had forgotten it with the pleasure of the cruise but it all came back, rapidly.
"Sometimes, it's a little.. past strange."
Saya bit down on her fork, with a little too much force, recalling certain events. Making a pained sound, one hand cupped her sore cheek, as she pretended that didn't happen. In her opinion, it was better to be vague than go into the specifics because the specifics meant that Sin might not be able to hold down his dinner.
Ow ow.

Candace's eyes turned down as Gale took Stormy's hand and she had to resist the urge to giggle. They were so cute. But first things first, she needed to be sure they were okay. Nevada? She looked tired but she would survive, along with Ian and Dorian..the trio was fine. Excalibur? Ah, that did sound like him, didn't it? "Just the usual, Gale. Madness with a side of titan." Candace rolled her eyes. Why couldn't they ever have a calm mission? "..This won't be the Sahara, Gale." She assured him confidently, letting go of Dakota to stand and move around Stormy to give Gale a hug from behind. She kissed the top of his head before she let him go, giving Stormy a hug as well before she sat back down. Her poor Gale.. Look at you being confident and helpful, Stormy. There was a warm smile on her face as she watched the girl. Dakota was suddenly praying and Candace laughed, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "Eat~."kurotomato SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY u___u

Clunk.
Mark suddenly dropped his tablet, stood straight up, and screamed, bolting out of the (previously, but not actually currently locked) doors. OOC He left his tablet on the chair! Anyone is free to stare at it

Nevada turned her frown into a beaming smile, reaching over to ruffle his hair. "Stop being such a cutie, otherwise ill try to steal you from your girl." Joking Otto, joking.

Jerry watched Glenda for a few moments before flushing a bit and smiling nervously as the waiter, who seemed oblivious to the fact madness had just ripped through the boat and that the dinner guests were now much more weather beaten than they had been a few seeming minutes ago. His mind was far, partially aware of the voice that had spoken to them, but in the rush of battle it seemed... well, normal for them. Disembodied voices warning them of things to come- he didn't need a warning. Nothing they did every bode well. Lawr's voice broke him out of his thoughts, blinking up at her with his brows furrowed, "Oh ah... ahaha, Roar? Yes I couldn't ask for a better partner, but did you SEE what Allan did? It... it was magical! I'll have to ask him what he used..." He mused. Swimming was quickly dropped. He didn't like to think what would happen if the boat DID go down. Better finish eating before something else attacked them.

Mark dropped something. Ofelia was curious enough to wonder what it was because Mark without his tablet was blasphemy so she sort of...nosed over to take a look at it.
An interested greatly look.

"Yep. Get used to weird, because this is pretty much your average miss-" Pausing she stared as Mark screamed and ran, dropping his tablet in the process. "Excuse me~" She said to the group, moving to take a peek at the tablet.
Moving up beside Ofelia, she peered over her shoulder. "What is it?"

He didn't know the man Stormy was looking at, and he gave her a slightly curious glance - a glance that turned slightly concerned as she downed the rest of his wine. There hadn't been much, but he didn't want her to get sick.
But it seemed to help, at least somewhat. Gale pressed his lips together and turned to look down at his plate and the bowl of uneaten potato and leek soup that was still sitting there, completely untouched, as though recent events had not just happened.
"I'll think about the food," he said quietly, picking up his spoon. "And you."
He took a bite and it was warm and very good, and this was just a tad comforting, if anything. Gale felt his expression soften, feeling Stormy's hand in his, and he curled his fingers a little tighter around hers, though he wasn't looking at her.
Don't let it control me don't let it control me don't -
He felt a tad pathetic, especially considering he'd have thought he'd be the one comforting Stormy, not the other way around. But he was grateful, so very grateful, for the fact that there was someone to do this for him, to just hold his hand and keep him anchored, even if things were confusing and messy and unfinished just yet.
Gale tilted his head a little at Candace's hug, his hair against her cheek, and reached up with his free hand, patting one of her arms before picking up his spoon again.
"I wish I knew what was going on," he murmured, after taking a bite. "We've been on some pretty vague missions before, but all we got this time was a two minute notice before being shoved onto a boat. There's been nothing so far as to indicate anything else - "
And then Mark was screaming and had disappeared. Gale stared after him before giving Stormy a curious look and mouthed one second, sliding his hand (reluctantly) free from hers, moving over to stare at the device left on Mark's chair.
Namely his tablet, of which Gale had a similar one.

There was a scream and Heidi suddenly sat up. "I'm up! I'm up! I'm awake.."
And then she watched Mark run.
"...Uhhh..what?"

Otto huffed and swatted at Nevada's hair. "D'ya know how long it took to get it slicked back?" He grumbled, not realizing the Titan fight had long since mangled his groomed look. "Yeah right." As if he'd let himself get stolen away. He knew she was joking, or at least hoped she was. Mark's sudden scream made Otto nearly choke on an appetizer. Nyxtsuki Moon
