Character Island

Adam's eyes went wide. Freeze them? Was the kid a psychic or something? Things just got really weird.

"Uh, okay," he said. He took several steps backward, up the hill and hopefully out of range, before drawing his gun, jamming a magazine in, chambering a round, and aiming down the scope at Purple Kid. At this range, he only really needed the scope for pinpoint accuracy. He aimed for the shoulder; he didn't want to kill anyone, not yet, at least.

Still disgusted by Layfayette, Imey decided the heat of the hot springs was sufficient. So he tossed him the woolen blanket that haad been around his shoulders and said, "for the love of the gods, wrap this around your waist so we don't have to see... you know." He then glanced at Eli's drawing and gave a slight smile. "Very nice," he said, carefully. Best to gently praise the lunatic — even though it wasn't a lie. It was quite good.

Very cautiously, he then asked Donavon, "and what... exactly, is your master?"

"Has MY question been answered? No I'm still waiting," Prisha replied. "And how else could you have chased me down when I hid far enough in the fore- Wait! So now you don't remember me exiting the pod?"

Prisha turned to Grimm and interrupted. "I wasn't the one who just jumps out of nowhere pinning random people to the ground."

This is getting even more confusing. It's possible these people are intentionally obfucsating the situation.

Donovan turned toward Imey, "Apparently, the naked thing's brother, Nyarlathotep."

Lafayette kept the blanket where the man had left it — he liked it just fine there. Well, he did pull it closer around himself, but otherwise, his shoulders was the perfect place for it.

"Yes my brother," said Lafayette. "We're having... I think... we would call it a family reunion?" his eyes didn't focus on where his attention actually was. They wandered lazily as he ate in unison, from the forest back to the hot spring to the fish and the ground, but his ear stayed trained on Donovan.

Seeing that the group wasn't as tightly binded as he needed, and the fact that the montly bunch was starting to make him feel awkward, he place one foot on a small rock, balancing his sole on the sharp tip.

He rose his shoulders and started counting with his hands. "Now, I think we should find the basics, just in case we don't find a way out. We have water, which is probably fresh. We need food, although we have to account for our different...diets. And then we need a shelter. Who knows how to lumber or find materials for tents?"

"You ignored my question, then ran. I could only assume you were fleeing the scene." She shrugged. She grimaced, absentmindedly rubbing her wrists. Damn they were cold.

Note to self: close combat scenarios are still a no-no.

Like a kid smugly showing off his new toy, he replied to Bryan's question, "I have a slashying object..." A bright green fish with purple eyes took shape in pencil elsewhere on the page.

Donovan had put his hand to his chin, "Hmm, he did call off a test at the university for some reason, that might be it."

Donovan began to inspect his coat, "This doesn't normally reveal itself in human form, but why does it here?"

"I never done such a thing?" Prisha replied losing his patience.

"Shut up!" screamed Adam, frustrated. "Both of you, just shut the hell up for a second! We're not going to get anywhere if you two just keep sniping at each other, going, 'no, this happened', 'no, this happened'. You two have got to settle your argument."

He pointed to the albino woman. "You first. You seem a bit more reasonable. Tell me exactly what happened."

For Pete's sake, why did they keep going on like that? Who'd want to do that? It's like reading something out of a badly-written book, where the author tries randomly to create conflict.

Imey shrugged and returned to flaying his fish. The mages' Master had no brother, so Donovan was no mage he knew of. Beyond that, he was unconcerned. To Bryan, he said, "I am a fisherman." He raised his trident, clearly proud of it, then continued, "these are strange waters for me, but my boat is in fine condition. Well, a few repairs are necessary. But it's endured worse. And fish are fish. I will not be swimming in that ocean if I can help it, but I can easily keep us fed if we are not gluttonous."

"I witnessed this one here," she jabbed a thumb at Prisha, "climb out of a crashed escape pod just a ways away. You can see for yourself if you're interested. I only intended to ask him a few questions, but he ran the moment he heard my voice. Suspicious, no?"

She let the knife go. "I am, as of now, unarmed. I will not antagonize you further. Provided," she turned her gaze to Prisha, "you answer my question."

She narrowed her eyes. "This is a good deal for you. I suggest you take it."

"My escape pod landed off course to this stupid place. I looked out around to see that coast is clear with NO ONE making a sound, before I hid in the forest until I saw this lady approach my pod and assaulted me out of no where," Prisha answered bitterly. "Happy?"

I'm always late to these things! ARGH!

It was a difficult, complex spell to complete the portal to the magical realm. The extradimensional planet had only just been created a few years ago, and travel was hard to come by.

Nevertheless, as the small girl pored over her books, double checking components and triple checking her calculations, she looked around the room. The six-pointed magic circle glowed light blue with residual magic power. With a final scan of the spell, she stepped into the center and chanted the incantation.

The circle glowed brighter and brighter, until she spoke the final arcane word. With a flash of bright light, the girl was gone.

When she opened her eyes again, she was standing in a forest. She eyed her surroundings.

This... doesn't seem very magical, she thought with a frown. She perked up at the sound of voices nearby. Time to try not to die.

Pulling her cloak tighter around herself, making sure her skin wouldn't be exposed to any stray rays of sunlight, she set off in the voices' direction.

"Stop and think, Mr. Bryan. Do you want to attract the attention of anything dangerous? Let's wait a few minutes. All this noise might wake something up. We should give it a chance to calm down." Bianca points at one of Elijah's markers. "Pardon, but what is this?"

Lafayette ignored the demand of no gluttony and started on his second fish, taking it apart in the same manner.

"I can kill birds," said Lafayette. "Lots of birds."

"Not really," said Adam. "Let me get this straight. You saw no one around... and then you hid. From no one. Yeah, that's not suspicious at all!" He shook his head. "You were probably a bit doozy from the crash, still, and didn't hear anyone. You went out to explore the forest, and she-" -he pointed at Albino Girl- "-mistook it for running. That's probably it."

Adam decided to take a chance and lower his gun. "And even if it's not, can you just please put this behind you? It's getting really friggin' annoying to sit hear listening to you two bicker like a few five-year-olds."

"Of course," Prisha sighed. Anything to get them to quit arguing about this mega confusing case. "Now that I remember correctly, that's exactly what happened."

"Not just yet. I still need an answer. This boy crashed here in an escape pod. The obvious conclusion here being he was escaping from something. I want to know what."

She kicked the knife towards the purple haired kid. "I've already disarmed myself, you have no reason to keep up this stubborn paranoia. Now tell me. Who are you? Where did you come from? What did you come from?" As if to accentuate the last of her questions, she nods in the direction of the burning hillside.

Grimm gave a weary sigh and lowered his weapon. “That’s better. Glad we could all get that resolved. Now that that’s over with, name’s Grimm- well, it’s not but you can call me Grimm. Pleased to meet you.” He extended a hand to Adam, the newcomer. “And before any of you ask, no I am not telling you how I got here.”

Turning to the purple-haired child, he concurred with Scarlett's sentiments. "Yeah, kid. We've all introduced ourselves. Whoa re you, and how come you can do that trick with the ice?"

His speech was strange and halting, intermixed with randomly-placed breaths.

"Oh! It's my Copic markers! They're really nice... and... Uh... there's ink inside... and-" -he took both caps off of the green marker labeled G17- "-they have spongy nibs shaped like chisels... and paintbrushes... so you can color things nicely!" He recapped both ends of the marker. "Do you want to try coloring this fishie?"

"I answered your question, why can't you answer mine?" Prisha replied. "I just hope you still remember what it is. Or which one is more like it."

Grimm huh? Prisha thought. Even his name sounded familiar.

"No, thank you." Bianca smiles; he really is like a William who had too many cream puffs. "I'd ruin the fishie."

Adam gave a quick nod to Grimm before stepping in between Purple Kid and Albino Girl. "No! No no no. We are not getting into that again. Not right now, at least. We need to do something to get your minds off of this. We're heading..." He spun around in a circle, trying to find a good-looking place for them to head to. "We're heading somewhere that's not here!" he yelled.

He took a few deep breaths. "Look. Why not find some water or something? That way, we'll have something to drink if we can't get away from here immediately. I don't know anything about this place. Is it an island, a peninsula, or what? We just need to keep moving." He stalked off toward the shore.
