♬ new revolution - gin wigmore

WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

[Reasoning with King Kongs evil spawn. That's a new one even for her but Frankie - whose face might have mirrored Ric's for a second there - at least recovers fast enough to turn her gun on - Ape #2 Atk 24, 13 Penetration Dmg if it hits.]

[silvermaid]

[ and frankie takes the ape right between the eyes, and it slumps over, completely dead. anastacia scans the forest line to make sure nothing else is coming, before turning to tell hook: ] We should get you back on the boat.

[ /init ]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi manages to suck in a shocked breath as the last ape goes down before she runs to Alice and THROWS HER ARMS AROUND HER... in an unfathomable and un-Bambi-like gesture of affection.

Obviously, gurl's got some issues.] Thank you...

[icouldbe_bess]

[ what... is happening???? ]

No prob.

[ she pats bambi on the back gently, managing to quell the awkward for comfort. (she has sisters ok, she knows how to do hugs.) while she is doing that, she uses her other hand to squeeze max's arm in silent thanks for shielding her. ]

[unhand]

[Hook looks helplessly at his jammed gun before putting it back in his holster and stooping to pick up his sword again. He looks down at the arm hopelessly. Getting used to having just one hand had taken time, though by now it was nearly as easy as two had been.]

It can be reconnected, right? There are spells for that? I've heard they can regrow my hand, they can also regrow my bloody arm!

[If he sounds a little hysterical, it's because his ARM IS RIGHT ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF HIM AND THAT'S NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE.]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi lets go of Alice awkwardly and steps back, eyes going wide AS SHE FINALLY NOTICES A DUDE LOST HIS ARM. SORRY, SHE WAS HAVING 'NAM FLASHBACKS.

She's just... gonna step away from that hot mess and go stand over here.]

[heavensend]

I know Solace is capable of regenerating limbs, and I'm certain he'll be happy to help you as soon as the island is secure.

[impetere]

[And to join the team of people who are having A Day is part of the prison group! They are covered in the viscera of a giant slug monster. Cora is especially disgusting because the thing puked on her first, and she has a bullet wound that she hasn't dealt with, but details. With them also comes a bear that's looking kind of green, and some of the prisoners that they rescued who are looking for a way out. And a horse, because they've got Daisy too.

What they find is apparently a guy with one arm, and some kind of creatures that Cora doesn't even want to know right now. She just glances over them for a moment before actually speaking.]

Looks like we missed the party.

[Hi, guys. Sup.]

[immuno]

[ Lydia, Stiles, and Koraith return right on time to join the party, apparently. The redhead comes up along Cora's side, eyes widening at the sight of Hook's, well, distinct lack of hook. And arm. She glances around at the other hastily. So even though Stiles made sure they got out of their trap unscathed, not everyone was so lucky. ]

What happened?

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley walks toward Hook while looking at the new arrivals.]

Uhh..... Crabs, monkeys, and panther. [And now with a horse and a bear.]

Kind of remind me of a school trip. [Except that school trip wasn't trying to kill him.

Brantley squats down and picks up something from the ground. And now he got a hook.]

I'll help you carry... this until we someone can find someone to reattach it. If you don't mind, of course. [He tries to smile as he makes the friendly gesture, but holding a detached limb is always awkward, right? Well, this gives a new meaning to the phrase "holding someone else's arm."]

[unhand]

It's my bloody arm! [Hook reaches forward and snatches it back.] Of course I mind! [He's already lost it once today.]

[impetere]

[Because Cora is feeling helpful:]

Aren't you supposed to put severed ... parts on ice or something? To help it not ... deteriorate?

[theshameofcain]

This is really happening, isn't it?

[Bambi's gonna go over here and say hi to Stiles... Hi Stiles.]

[likeagod]

[Dimitri will just...concentrate on the mission. Someone's gotta load these people in boat, right?]

[silvermaid]

It's... it's not necessary to hold onto it, exactly. The clerics will simply er - grow a new one.

[unhand]

So what do I do with it? [It's his body part. Just leaving it seems... strange. Where's Gold to pickle it and put it in a jar when you need him?]

[theshameofcain]

Jesus. Just put it in the creepy shack with the other severed body parts.

[HI NEW PEOPLE YOU MISSED A LOT... also hi sad shadowkind people.

She turns to them and slaps her knees like a condescending tour guide talking to small children.] ANYWAY. Hi, guys. Who wants to go on a boat ride?

[daredtobelieve]

[Helen sidesteps towards Hook... well, can't really call him that anymore, can we? She steps over towards the one armed man and lowers her voice, speaking to him as privately as she can while they're all standing in a large circle.]

I understand it's very traumatic, but we'll all be losing life and limb- quite literally if we don't do best to hurry. Between Sir O'Keefe and I, we should be able to do something for the pain. But you're good enough with that blade that I don't want your hands occupied holding onto a severed limb. The clerics will do what they can once we all return home. Please, Sir Jones... We still have work to do.

[diplomacy 32.]

[unhand]

[Hook hesitates for a moment, then hands it over to Bambi.]

All right. You can put it with the others. Just... one thing.

[He untwists the hook, clutching it tightly in his hand.]

[theshameofcain]

[AND THIS IS BAMBI'S PUNISHMENT FOR BEING A BITCH.

She stares at the arm in her face.

She stares at the Shadowkind.

She takes the arm gingerly.]

I'm never telling you what wire to cut ever again. [CRIES INTERNALLY AND WALKS BACK TO THE SHACK. WHY DOES ASTRID GET HOT GUYS AND SHE GETS THIS...]

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley sighs. He really can't get along with this guy. Now, he is just helping out the group getting people on the boat.

Hi, people! He smiles relaxedly. This is his area of expertise. His comfort zone. He is more used to handling shadowkind refugees than grumpy pirate.]

Don't worry, everything is going to be alright. Please get on the boat and we'll leave the island soon.

[immuno]

He's okay.

[ Actually, Lydia doesn't really know him. At all. But they're all knights, and she's eager to distract the Shadowkind citizens from, well, the severed arm talk. She holds up her hands in a pacifying motion. ]

He's with us. You can go with him; you'll be safe. [ She tries to help funnel them onto the boats (diplomacy 25). ]

[impetere]

[Well. While you all are doing that ... Mellie's going to go for a swim in the ocean because she's tired of being covered in fleshwarp guts. It's probably for the best as Cora shouldn't return her mentor's bear covered in disgusting.

She'd like to take a bath herself, but she's technically still working so she's mostly going to focus on getting it off her hands, while keeping an eye on the woods for any signs of trouble (listen 17, spot 17).]

[killingtodeath]

[Wow, hi everyone. There are a bunch of people here that he enjoys and is happy to see that they aren't dead. Still carrying his bat (with gross monster bits on it, I assume), he gives Bambi a quick smile and nod while Lydia ushers the others onto the boat. Glancing over his shoulder, he catches sight of Cora and breathes a little easier for that too.]

Yep. All aboard- non stop ride to anywhere but here.

[behindcloseddoors]

[ while most of the escapees from the prison and villagers are only too happy to board, and get away from whatever monsters might be on land, the blonde elf, anira, stops to ask: ] Where are they taking us? When are we going to know that those who stayed behind are alright?
