Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yo," she said to the other girl, and pulled out her phone for the umpteenth time. No dice. "I ******** wish. s**t is down like a c-cuh-clown." Felicia looked more heartbroken by this than about anything else.

"How b-bout yours, Mimi?"

Courtyard

He had barely managed to stagger his way into the courtyard when somebody was there, right next to him, grabbing his arm the moment he took just one more stumbling step forward.

A pale face turned to look to the man next to him, and he gave him a weak smile, always attempting to be friendly even if he felt like death. "I am not sure. I was just sleeping and woke up and...." He paused, and finally, for the first time noticed something very odd indeed.

"My weapon, I can not hear her. And I do not feel well. Are you having the same problem?"

Quinn - Courtyard

Apparently Quinn had walked up at the right time, even if Lucky hd not heard the question it seemed Quinn got the best response so far.

"So....wait." He frowned. Something was looking for the island? While not surprising, what WASN'T looking to kill and eat them at a moments notice, he had to wonder how Lucky knew this. "So this thing Found us and is spreading some sort of disease on the Island, and thats why the alarms are going off."

"Pardon my question, Lucky, But... how do you know this?" Information wasn't usually tossed so readily into their laps this way. While he did trust the other man (they had worked together before), he wondered where this information had come from. "How long has this 'thing' been looking for us? Is there any way to stop this 'disease'?"

Was that really why the alarms went off?

Dorms (In Nellies)

Cain hadn't been able to sleep, instead he was up drawing the figure asleep in the bed when the alarms went off and lights went dim. A sit down of the sketch paper and Cain moved, only to pause as the lights went out. For a second the teen was silent, then a hand moved to push against a pale leg. "Nelly wake up, we need to move." Something was obviously going on, Cain stepped back picking up some clothes and tossing them on the bed to her before pulling on a shirt he could barely make out. Unluckily he had picked up one of Nellies and now donned a pink shirt with something written on it.

Zipping up some shorts he glanced to the girl again and frowned, Jojo? The witch wasn't answering, wasn't laughing. There was nothing. Silence. Under the dim glow of red Cain felt vulnerable but tried not to show it. Instead he reached out to help Nellie up if she wasn't already, "lets go see if we can find someone who knows whats going on." Cain had to withdrawal his offered hand instantly almost as it slapped to his mouth as the sound of gagging came. A rush of nausea hitting him and bringing a shudder over tanned body. "Ugg.." Cain tried to straighten again, shaking it off before a ringing started in his ears. "Do you hear that?" The now blonde, freckled faced tanned hunter asked, pushing up the end of bright yellow square glasses.

Courtyard
Lilac had woke with the alarm, generally confused and feeling terrible. Aprulz wasn't scolding her or making rude comments, which in turn let Lilac know something was instantly wrong. Aside from the silence it was clear Aprulz wasn't present. Not wasting any time to try and summon the woman instead carefully got out of her bed, head spinning as she went about to pull on some jean shorts to go with her brown tanktop. A tie back of long multicolored hair into a ponytail and she was out the door with a pull of her moon coat.

What was going on?

People were scrambling all around and the dim red alarm light of the hall furthering Lilac's confusion as she tried to make her way out of the basement dorms. Once out Lilac found herself in the courtyard, a hand curled around her stomach as she tired to inhale deeply to calm herself, counting to seven. Everything would be fine, everything would be fine. Lilac tried to force a smile through her terrible feelings, looking on at the other hunters and the vines that confined them to the courtyard.

Her face flushed, and Mimi shook her head.
"I can't either. I miss Dae..."
While her weapon did boss her around a lot, she found it comforting, in a way. Having Daeris scold her for being silly and scared of the dark was better than crying. The blaring alarms certainly didn't help either.

"Oh I'm just peachy, dear!" Nora replied with a slightly manic smile. "Nevermind that the alarm's going off and I can't hear a damn thing from my weapon."

Stormy froze, checked for herself, and grew cold. "I can't either."

"Brilliant. Put some shoes on, we need to get out of here." Evan had already moved on ahead, and she was eager to get the hell out of dodge herself.

As Stormy moved about, she tried to check her phone, maybe message her brothers or her cousin. To her dismay, however, all communications were down. "Phones aren't working either," she reported quietly, and Nora growled a sigh.

"I can't hear Haruko, either, something's definitely up."

Quinn had found them in the courtyard, and at his question Shiloh nodded towards Lucky, who at the sight of him had given him a squeamish look, and Shiloh was willing to bet that it wasn't due to the virus the Life hunter was describing - at least not entirely.

"Something? Is it something we can defend against? Something a little more specific than something, Lucky!"

It didn't take long for him to remember the familiar groove, and while it was familiarly annoying, he begrudgingly knew Lucky and therefore had some semblance of trust in the man. And unfortunately for them, Lucky's hunches were usually along some vein of correctness.

"What happens if we get sick? How contagious is it?"

His eyes didn't leave Lucky, but his free hand searched behind him for Ian, making sure he was there.

Luckily for Lucky, Shiloh's other favourite person beat him to the answer.

"Excuse me?" he said loudly, head whipping around. "Samantha? LUCKY!"

He hadn't even gotten married yet, and already the honeymoon of ignoring things on Deus was over.

IAN - COURTYARD
Ian was too busy leaning on Shiloh to pay much attention to what Lucky was saying, except he managed to catch most of the gist of it. His arm was looped around his fiance's shoulders, Ian's head slanting sideways against Shiloh's hair, and he let out a low whistle. He really, sincerely, didn't want to have to deal with this, not when he was just on the cusp of getting married.

"So basically, there's something on the island that got in that's making us all sick," he said, wheezing a bit. "Well, that's just fine and dandy, the hell are we supposed to do abo - QUINN IS THAT YOU?!"

He reached out and snagged the other man, reaching to ruffle his hair and maybe slap him a few good times on his shoulder.

"Jeez, you're alive, I'm so glad, the hell you been, man?!" said Ian, but the pressing matter of staying alive was weighing heavily on their shoulders, and he kept his arm protectively around his fiance, Ian's head going back to leaning against Shiloh's.






GALE - DORMS
The look he gave her bordered on annoyed, though Gale wasn't about to start an argument now.

"Yeah, I kind of got that, actually," he said, and then stopped abruptly when the last part of her Nora's registered. Jinhai's voice, usually a prominent and integral part of Gale's thoughts and everyday life, was stopped, the silence louder than ever. It felt bizarre and wrong, and he sucked in a sharp breath, trying not to overthink.

"Okay," he said, pinching the bridge of his nose as he slipped to get his boots. Gale tugged them on and then reached for Stormy, trying to make sure that he didn't lose her in the chaos.

"Let's go, is everyone else outside already?" he asked.
