Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slipping a large metal band off of her arm, Clarice held it out, paused, angled it just so, and then yelled, "JUMP!"

Hraegar hit the bottom of the hole with a heavy thunk but fortunately just missed cutting off Robert's feet. The massive sword created a nice slide to climb up out of the hole with, even if Raeg was currently booming WTF in the back of her mind. Overall, Clarice was feeling pretty pleased with herself.

"I-I was jus' trying to help." He said with a frown. Watching Caelius, before looking for his cell phone, did he grab it... Oh right. "I-it's in my room. I can go get it." He pointed to the room behind them.

He scampered to the room and grabbed his cellphone from the middle drawer and ran back holding it out to the Death Hunter lead. He frowned softly looking towards Jordan before back to Caelius. "It'll wear off right?"

He was biting his lower lip. The shadows weren't on the island right?

And then suddenly he was surrounded.

Gale decided that, in the course that this happened again - and he sincerely hoped it wouldn't - he would never, ever, say the word "piggyback rides" ever again. He looked down at the tug on his leg and saw -

...oh, great, it was Eva. And she was ridiculously adorable as a little kid. Gale felt his cheeks grow a slight darker shade of red, and he cleared his throat stupidly.

"Er, yes, right," he said, and leaned down, picked her up, and slid her onto his back.

And then proceeded to almost trip over Leon, Aleister, and Wilson, all crowding around him.

"Er," he said, with a glance down at Jordan. "Yes. Er."

Another pause in which Gale contemplated his options.

"Er...shall we all go to the cafeteria....then..." he started to say, but trailed off as he eyed Caelius somewhat suspiciously.

"Mind explaining what's going on?" he asked.

He resisted the very strong urge to add "short stack" to the end of that question.

The "Death Hunter" snatched the phone from Jordan without another moment's hesitation, rolling his eyes as he adjusted his oversized glasses a bit before going through the list.

Noone picked up on the other end.

After trying a second and third time with various attempts at contacts, Caelius finally gave Jordan another (matching) unimpressed expression. Maybe in another timeline they could have been twins, or soulmates, god forbid. "Your phone is broken."

The Death Hunter pointedly ignored Gale as he stepped around the trainee, making his way through the hall towards the exit. A stuffed bear stood in his way. A stuffed bear taller than he was. For some reason it also kind of looked familiar, he just couldn't place a finger on it, not that he really cared or anything. Temper rising in 3.... 2...

"Someone move their ******** bear!!"

Marcus was happu. Hugs helped. They always did. Holding hands with Cass he smiled. She was really pretty. Really really pretty. Breakfast->Slides->Nap

That was his game plan.

(GTG GUYS ;; sorry for lack of tag)

And suddenly, Wash was being assaulted by cute little girl in a dress.

He was torn between remarking on how pretty the color of her hair was, and openly gagging at the fact that she was a girl. But no, he had to look tough -

"M'name's Wash, um. Butts?" He tried uncertainly. He looked behind him - was his hanging out of his pants? No. His momma would WHIP him if he let his pants hang like those boys down the street.

He turned back to her, confusion breaking into a grin. Oh, BUTTS. Is that the game they were playing?

"You know what comes from butts? Farts. Big, NASTY butt farts!" he crowed, waving his hands in the air. Yes, this was how you talked to girls. It made them go away.

And he didn't want THE COOTIES.

Sally was chuckling oddly in the back of his mind during this entire exchange.

Jordan took his phone back and waited till Caelius had gotten out of earshot before muttering, "Or maybe nobody wants to talk to you is all."

Suddenly impaired control over impulses and emotions notwithstanding, he wasn't suicidal.
