Event Nine.

[awashmods]

Thus, on Life’s gloomy sea, Heareth the marinere Voices sweet, from far and near, Ever singing in his ear, “Here is rest and peace for thee!”

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. On one side, an island, and a ticking clock to a gruesome death. On the other, the slow realization that those bonds everyone has been forging might mean much, much more than they first thought. Welcome to Awash's ninth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well.

Don't apologize, idiot. We're even now.

[Surely he remembers how injured Guren had been. Guren keeps his hold on him and jumps up and along the unstable rocks of this side of the island, rushing back towards the rocky shore with the rafts. A rush is his best bet. Stealth is just going to let Rin bleed too much. Even if there's the risk of attack... he has to run.

And already, there are sirens that spot him, coming for him with claws and teeth and tails. He grits his own teeth, dodging as much as he can in this horrible terrain, but his arms get scratched, and one of the sirens dives so far that it bites at his leg, and he stumbles, cursing as he shifts to try and deal with that.

Currently, that means stomping at it with his other foot until it lets go.]

[At the moment? No. But he'll recall it later for sure. He'll be more grateful for the rescue then, too. He's just too addled to recall much more than the horrid things he'd seen and just barely survived.

Which, unfortunately, means seeing another one of those nasty, ravenous creatures coming at them brings out a truly terrified sound from Rin, not quite screaming but more like a cornered animal. As the siren latched on to Guren, Rin threw a bloodied hand out and launched a single, weakly powered ball of blue fire at it though it was questionable if the attack would even hit.]

[swordfucker]

[It grazes the beast, but that's enough of a distraction that Guren can dig his heel into its neck stronger, crushing it until it snaps.]

Don't worry about helping, I told you to rest!

[Readjusting his hold on Rin, he runs again.

[satanslash]

[Sorry, man. He really does not those things to be anywhere near him. He's had enough of being chewed on by sirens for a lifetime.

He listens, though, giving a nod and pulling his wounded arm back, cradling it against his chest. The sooner they got off this island, the better.]

[swordfucker]

[Guren is aiming to give that to him as soon as possible. There's another siren that looks like it wants to get close that someone else takes care of for him, and then it's just a few hops over the rocks of the beach to find a path straight to a raft with another spot.

He hurries, shifting once he's close enough to drop Rin on top of it. The raft/boat rocks a bit from the weight, but it's secure.]

You're going back on this. I'll check on you later. [Though, he is going to give him a quick once-over to see if there are any wounds he might bleed out from if left untreated.]

[satanslash]

Wh-whoa whoa...

[He tries to sit up after being set in the boat, but even that much movement makes him want to throw up. He forces himself through it, waving his one good hand at Guren. Don't leave yet!]

Y-you're goin' back there...?

[swordfucker]

There are other people that still need help.

[Guren isn't leaving yet, since he saw that wave. He's standing tall, but he still looks horrible. Ill, really. Still, he's looking back to the rest of the island.]

I have to check the rest of the edges, too, in case people hid away like you did. Everyone's getting back, so don't worry.

[satanslash]

[There are other people that still need help.

People that Rin couldn't help in his condition.

People he hadn't been able to help at all.

Guren looked like shit but he was still standing, which was more than Rin could say for himself at this point.

Rin was relucant to let him go back to that mess, but he had no room or energy to argue.

There was a nod, and quietly:]

Be careful...

[swordfucker]

[He gives his own nod, and then heads off, leaving Rin in the hands of those who will take this raft back.]
