Welcome to Gaia! ::

While Tori walked half dazed all that she was thinking about was that dammed Sahara a places she didn't want to ever go back to. The first time had been with all those sickly sweet rotting bodies they helped clean up with death every were and now the same place was similar as before but with bugs and a puppet Julie she couldn't help at all to end. She also really hoped that Allen and Simon would come she didn't want them to have the same fate at all. If she ever got back to Deus she was defiantly going to lose herself in all the books.

Aklin said a little worried that his Hunter would retreat into herself fully.

But it something I really want to do, Lin. Where I don't have to feel the pain and the regret. Tori said to her weapon with a little whine.

Just as Aklin was going to answer Tori's phone buzzed that there was a text. To which she didn't even look to who it could be coming from just keep on walking like it didn’t happen.



I don’t feel like looking, alright. She replied to her weapon not really caring right that second.

Aklin yelled at his apparently stupid right this second hunter.

Tori flinched some to which she stopped retreating into herself.

Ok. She replied softly. Taking the phone out of her pocket to see that it was a text from Before seeing if she was alright. Well physically she was but mentally not so much. Aklin grumped as he was expecting her to reply to which she did slowly.






I will try but it’s hard when I can still hear it all.



Tori gave a little sigh as she walked slowly off to the infirmary.

((Exiting))

Otto had to agree. he wasn't exactly the comforting type, and talking about what happened was not on his to do list anytime soon. He preferred to cram all those horrible memories deep deep down. He didn't want to deal with them.

"Huh?" He looked down as Reine shoved her mug at him, watching as she ran to someone crumpled by the portal. Oh, wasn't that the kid from the kitchen? What's his face... yeah, what's his face. Oh, wait, Reine said his name just now. Justin. Otto waited patiently impatiently with the two thermos of cocoa until she returned and took hers back.

Reine was giving him a look. A pleading look. What? She wanted his help?

Siiiiigh.

"Fine. Watever." He grouched, trying to finish off the rest of his drink and handing it to Reine. "Hate bein' so friggn nice all the time." He muttered to himself, wrapping an arm under Justin's to support the shaken boy. "Where to? Infirmary or rest area?"

Clerise hung around for an unnecessary amount of time, watching Harrison be carried off by Clarice, in none other than a princess carry.

It was not a good time to be trapped with her introspection.

She finally left the room with the portal, sighing, fingers warmed by the cup of cocoa in her hands.

For a time, the redhead stood just outside the tent in the snow, face turned upwards to the harsh winter sun. Clerise relished the frigid air, the blanket given to her thrown over an arm instead of wrapped around her shoulders.

The lack of feeling was a welcome reprieve.

BeepBeep Boop. Jude the Robot turned and wandered to the infirmary to get his post-battle maintenance done.

((After the Titan Mission))


All that remained of the camp was the red infirmary, the portal tent, and Dwight's little interview area. Clarice looks distracted when the trainees arrive. She's happy to see them, but her mind is obviously elsewhere as she directs supplies through the portal, much of it going to Deus, but some going through elsewhere. She doesn't mention the mission they were on or what happened when she greets them, just waves to the infirmary tent, "You guys rest up. We need to move on to the next staging area soon, but there's enough time to allow you a few hours of sleep, just use the infirmary for now. If you have any wounds, the medics will see to you."

Sleep?

Cass wasn't going to complain about being able to get some sleep. Even if only for a couple of hours. Still, she looked around to try and find her favorite familiar face. She needed to cuddle something fierce and as it stood, she needed Marcus to go spoon on a cot with her or something.

Seriously.

Or maybe he'd find her. Still, Cass went wandering blearily to look for the Moon hunter before she went to crash for a bit herself.

[ entering from mission ]

Ofelia was about as glad to see Clarice as she'd ever been, which meant she really wasn't? It wasn't like the teen had anything against the older woman, in fact she liked her quite a lot, but there'd never been a reason for her to get super excited and look forward to Clarice's presence in her life. She was pleased to see her though but the looks of worry on her face did cause a frown, prompting the sun trainee to stagger off the sled and over towards her.

What exactly could she say? Ofelia hadn't known H personally, knowing him only as the man who snapped the neck of Clarice's dummy-twin at their introduction, and she was never really good at reading relationships anyway. When she arrived at Clarice's side all she could do was look at her with unfocused eyes, finally settling for raising a hand and patting the older woman on the shoulder. Two pats, and soft squeeze, and Ofelia lumbered off to go and rest in the infirmary.

It totally didn't matter that she'd probably interrupted something important, but sometimes a little interruption helped. Also Ofelia was tactless.
