t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began.We will find them, if we have to look under every single rock.
[She says with absolute certainty!]

[ this is bad. this is so bad, but Michael knows the last thing he should do now is let go. so he just tightens his grip on the other guy's arm - Sora's surprisingly strong, whoa - and says firmly: ] No way.
[ for good measure, he tries to get in front of Sora too, so that he can try to grab his other arm and force the other teen to look at him. ] Listen-- I dunno what it is you're hearing right now, that's making you act all creepy and stuff, but those things don't wanna hold hands and sing a duet with you! They wanna hurt you.

[This is what Keith gets for sleeping in regular pajama type clothes instead of his Blade uniform. If he'd had that one, he'd have at least kept warm. That thing kept him good during space flight; it could've handled an island.
But alas.
The blanket is helping though, and he wraps cold fingers around the knife and holds it tightly.]
I think I owe you thanks for more than just the knife too.
[Keith speaks up. This part is hard for him, but it feels important to say.] Even while we were stuck here and things looked bad, I knew you were still out there. I knew you wouldn't give up.
[Because Hunk is... a good teammate, a good friend. Hunk cares so much for everyone else before himself. And he's brave even if Keith is well aware how terrified he is sometimes.]

I have to admit... it's hard to do much when you're brainwashed.
[ He's not wrong. ]
-- But are you guys okay? I can't imagine the forest was feeling that nice.

[Hunk goes still and his eyes pop open wide, his heart clenching in his chest. Keith actually thought that about him? It's true, he'd never give up on him, not on one of his friends, but it's another thing entirely to hear Keith say it. After all, Keith's not one to talk about his feelings.]
Yeah. I'd never give up on you. No matter what, if you needed my help I'd do my best to get there.
...Thanks, Keith.
[For saying it. There's a silly smile on his face and he's felt better than he has for days upon days.]

[Ah. Of course Akechi is worried about Caramia, too; the two seem to be close, at least if his appearance at Akechi's birthday party is any indication.]
...He shared some meat he caught with me the other day.
[Akira hasn't seen him since the direct assault by the sirens began, but he was alright at that time. Hopefully he's still making it.]
Did Kyrie-san go after him?

Ah...the same thing is what happened to me...
[It seemed like her friends had called out to her too... but that ended up being false. She shakes that off though at the mention of a fire.]
Y-Yeah. I'll look for some wood!

I know.
[Keith nods, looking up with a smile and holding out a hand to him. He definitely knows that for a fact, Hunk. It's something he can absolutely relies on. Even if he's been away from the group for a while back home.
Teammates. Friends.
And here, well, here he's gotten closer to Hunk too with them here together, getting through the crap this place throws at them together.]

[ a fair point. she nods to his request and remains still, trying to hide any discomfort from the fabric touching up against the bite. there's clearly a good chunk of flesh ripped off from below her shoulder, the imprints of the siren's pointed teeth still fresh. ]
...I'm not sure.
[ she wishes she had better news, for him and everyone else here, but they've been dumped on some miserable island with no way to contact anyone from the mainland. ]
Wherever we are, it doesn't appear we're anywhere close to the town anymore. We may be on an entirely separate mass of land.

Already?
[ surprised is an understatement to her reaction. even the healing of the zoras is not so immediate. she turns her head toward the wound, squinting at it, and it's a little hard to see from this angle but the damage she could view isn't there anymore. ]
Your work is so fast. What type of magic did you cast?

All the more reason I would never let you make the attempt to leave without a plan.
[ again - admirable bravery, but he's much too quick to throw himself into danger for her heart to bear. she wouldn't be able to even look at his father if she let him throw himself into the ocean a second time. ]
For the moment the sirens seem to be ignoring us. I liken it to the beast catching prey and then keeping it on reserve for when it hungers.

[ her body tenses in anticipation, knowing she'll have to react in the moment. she practically stops breathing until she sees the lift of his hand and swiftly slams the spear down into the water. a breath of relief swiftly leaves her body when she feels a weight on the spear, and pulling it up reveals a caught fish. it's mutated, flopping out its last moments, but it's a meal. ]
Oh, finally! [ she sucks in a breath and lets it out again, heart racing in the excitement. ] Thank you Akira. You have an impressive skill for observation.
[ maybe it's the glasses that help? ]

[ the subject change is so abrupt that she's in the middle of trying to open her mouth to press him before he cuts in. it leaves her stunned for a couple seconds, before she retorts- ] I got bit. It's fine.
[ it's not fine, but what's much less fine is stumbling on this scene. she feels something churn inside and she has to look away from the scene, afraid her weakened constitution is going to make her vomit. ]
I must ask that you stop... feeding on that siren. Monster meat is certainly not good for your body.

[ Akechi quickly turns at the revelation, but he just as quickly focuses back on the task at hand, dipping the mug in the bucket to fill it in with some water before handing it over to Akira.
(So Caramia is here, after all. Alive, at least the last time Akira saw him. He feels... relieved.) ]
He did, yes. [ He then takes a seat across from Akira, eyes still alert to their surroundings-- the water, especially. ] He doesn't have much in the way of special abilities, but he does have a gun. I trust they'll both return safely.
[ His eyes shift momentarily, from the ocean to the apple in Akira's hand, still untouched. And though he doesn't say much, his Look should be more than telling. Eat, you moron. ]

[ not too great, she says. to giorno this looks serious enough to be attended to. he's careful to remove the bandages from her wound, and once he gets a good look at the size of the wound, giorno lays the bandages back carefully over, fingers as gentle as he tries to hold it firmly towards both ends of the wound. ]
This will hurt a bit.
[ which is the only warning she gets, before ghostly hands in gold move to touch her wound and .... mold the bandages into the shape of flesh missing from her, the fabric pushing and stretching against skin to mesh with it and become new. ]

Sora...
[Her voice sounds distant as she still seems to be pretty out of it. Kairi does manage to get up to her knees though despite her shivering, and she smiles weakly at him.]
I'm so glad I caught up with you...

[It's partly because she missed him, but alsoooo she's so cold. She's gonna steal that warmth.]
It's really good to see you too! I'm sorry you were worried. All I want now is to go home...

[ she's spaced out and at first doesn't react to his greeting, but when she hears someone make mention of her injury, her head finally lifts from staring at her lap. her shoulders slack and she wills a smile at him, positively exhausted. ]
Hello Michael. Thank you for the concern - I'll wait until others are looked at for the moment. [ a small bite isn't anything life-threatening. she rather the healers focus on others. ] I hope things have been alright without us. This whole incident has been fraught with worry.

That's certainly a fair trade.
[ though not at all necessary, she won't refuse the help when they're all in this together. catching these fish were a bit of a struggle - they move so fast and she's never had to catch her meals before. all her efforts have just been mimicking another culture's practices. ]
Please, do take a seat. There isn't much, but you can have one to yourself to start.

Yes, unfortunately. I didn't exactly think to grab my rifle when I was lured to the harbour by the Sirens's song.
[ And even if he had, he likely would have lost it when he jumped in the water so it wouldn't have been of any use here anyway. ]
