"Of course, Rep." Candace chuckled and grinned up at him, resting her hand on his shoulder now. He needed to calm down, it looked like she'd done something right.
"No it's.." She didn't want to say it. There was a pained look on her face. She didn't want to say it. Saying it would make it real, she didn't want it to be real.
She couldn't.
"It's not Jordan." That's all that seemed to matter to him.
She looked back at the pile of ashes.
No. She couldn't. "We should go outside now, Rep."

South Detail
Matt didn't say anything to the other hunters who had arrived on the southern beach. None of them really looked familiar nor did he have any idea of what really was going on other than the guy with the glowing sword started to talk.
{Ooooo lala now would you look at that...} Kasi replied as if she would have some smirked on her face.
Matt just stared and then rolled his eyes, it was like looking at medical books all over again and the females all blushing. Would someone just give him a coat?
Something?

[ Security Detail- East ]He woke up to blaring alarms and a splitting headache not unlike a hangover. Groaning, Finn rolled over, fell out of bed, and scrambled to find some clothes to throw on, while inside his head Trynt let out a low, sleepy sounding growl. It didn't take him too long, as he just snatched up whatever was laying around on the floor, a rumpled, black t-shirt, jeans, black boots, and as he was on his way out of the room, his jacket. I'm not and advanced hunter, so what am I supposed to be doing? He really had no idea, nor did he actually, really remember his way around quite yet. All he knew is that eventually, he found his way outside, and to the beach where a few others were already standing, his eyes staring out into the ocean. Wait a second, was that a.......? He squinted, then leaned back a bit when the thing splashed back down beneath the surface. < Tentacle. > Trynt's voice sounded, his voice still low, rumbly and slow. "........Is that normal?" He asked out loud, finding that he had stopped next to two other men he'd never met before, and flicking his gaze their way.

Chel tilted her head, completely unaware of who the ******** this dude was. "Uhh you're gonna need to give me a little more than that dude" She rolled her shoulders, trying to ignore the annoying blare in the background.
"I'm kinda new here so.... " She looked to the others on the beach. "I dunno, he's kinda weird but he seems nice enough."

Finally Jerry was giving him the respect he was due and he was finding his feet. He could work here. The Boss was in shock or something and that was fine too, he had him guarded, had him protected, they could sort this out. And Candace was solid too, giving him the information he needed, he wouldn't have to murder anyone or maim anyone yet.
It wasn't Jordan. That was important. <******** he was so confused. "Right. As long as its not The Boss or Jordan. I'll go outside."
He very carefully took the not-the-boss Harrison's hand and led him out of the cave, still pretty unaware what he was looking at. What did it matter? This world wasn't his kingdom, he didn't give one single s**t about it.
His head felt weird. He felt watched.

[Just outside the Caves]
He was relieved that Rep was following, stepping out of the way of the doorway to wait for him and Candace to catch up. He remembered her being there... his Other Self had had a thing for her. He remembered that much... They'd be introduced properly as soon as the more important matters were delt with.
"Ah... Sir? Do you remember how you got here?" It was as good a place to start as any- they needed to know what they were dealing with, and concentrating on Rep's problems was a welcome distraction from what lay down those steps.

Oh thank god. Candace breathed a soft sigh of relief and started to follow Rep and Jerry up the steps to leave the caves. She stopped midstep to look back at where Clerise sat with Clarice's remains; Sasha was conveniently ignored for now.
Rep being the way he was only made her hope this was all fake that much harder. This couldn't be real.
Candace...
No.
Candace, please. It's--
"I said no," Candace choked out, quickly rubbing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She fought back against the tears that were building up and trying to escape. Candace opted to not say anything, to not ask any questions or bring any attention to herself until she had calmed down.
It's not real.
It's not real.
There's no way any of this can be real.

"I remember a ******** door. And I remember... things here and there. I remember the ******** fake me too. I just know that this isn't my ******** kingdom and I'm dressed like a scadge." Again he brushed at the lovingly kept but far too large coat he wore. "So there's a security breach. What the ******** are we doing about it?" Business at least was easy. "And is it our business or something else's ******** problem?"
Candace looked upset, he wasn't used to seeing her easily rattled, it was distressing in its own way. He edged over on reflex and slung his free arm across her shoulders. "Chill babe. We can handle it. We can handle ********>

A few minutes later and Ryan's phone buzzed with a message. Though after checking the contents of the message, Ryan hastily typed a reply.Text to Kat Text: Wait--what? What do you mean dead? Never mind, tell me when you get here. I'm at the north end of the island.
Within a few seconds, Kat's phone would receive the text.

"Er... that Division Lead said we should go patrol," Jerry offered, face flushing a bit as he gave Candace a sidelong glance and quickly looked away again shyly. "Do you er... know where we are now?"

Not bothering to respond to the text, Kat headed north.
[ Arriving @ North ]
Scanning the area, it wasn't hard to miss the group of hunters gathered. Finally spotting a certain blonde haired moon hunter, she made her way over to him. "Dead, as in a pile of ash now." She finally responded to the text he had sent. "H already picked out a new assistant." If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wasn't sure if she would have believed. Clarice had always seemed.. indestructible to her. It was odd to think of her as dead.

This isn't my kingdom. The fake him. Oh god. What happened to him? This couldn't be happening. Why wasn't everything resetting? Haha, nice. They failed. Good job, guys. Reset, redo, try again.
Wake up from your dream now, there's a helmet on your head.
A computer program.
Something.
Make it stop.
The arm around her shoulders startled her and she looked to Rep beside her. His words made her heart break so much more. He called her babe. They could handle anything. He didn't..he didn't even react to Clarice.
This was not okay.
She sniffed and smiled, giving a sheepish laugh and nodding her head as she wiped away her tears. "Yeah, haha. You're right. God, I'm being so foolish right now, this is just embarrassing. I'm just. Very tired. Yes." She gave Rep a forced smile. "I didn't get much sleep last night, hmm~?" This was so hard.
That Division Lead.
Candace stiffened beside Rep and couldn't even look Jerry's way. Did..he not know who H was?
What the hell was going on?
"H," Candace corrected, almost sounding offended that Jerry didn't know who H was. "That was Doctor H." Not him too.

His phone buzzed again and he quickly scanned the message. He had better make this a fast run. Unfortunately, someone abled up just as he was about to set off, and not being rude, he paused mid-step and shook his head at the man. “Don’t think so but… Who knows? I’m heading to the West, someone’s hurt over there. I don’t think that uh, thing, is gonna go anywhere anytime soon… Hopefully.” Then he was off, running across the beach. --- Unfortunately, he kind of got a little bit lost.

Rep narrowed his eyes at Jerry, bristling and wary. He'd had to work with the guy for his talents in Vegas, but here he didn't need him and trusted him even less.
Candace being shaken felt all wrong, even The Boss was confused. For the first time in a long time he felt like his world was out of his control and even a tantrum and genocide wouldn't fix it. "It's fine." he said gruffly. "Everybody's a bit ******** out of sorts I think after all that s**t that happened." He removed his arm and gave her what he hoped was a steadying pat on the a**.
"How about we walk and talk? Get your head sorted out." he gave Jerry a wary look. "And find out where Jordan is."

"Ache?" Jerry giggled, a touch manically at what he thought he had heard as a pun, "That's not his real name, is it?" Deep breaths. Right. Serious matters. No panicking. He could do this. He could panic later. "Yeah... yeah finding Jordan sounds like a really good idea." As Rep slapped the bum of that poor woman, Jerry blushed out of sympathy, "S-sorry, he um, isn't normally like this," He whispered. Did she and Rep know each other, usually? They had to. His memory was foggy on the matter but he was certain he had seen her around Deus plenty over the years...
