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...

It's fine, like whatever. Kinda cool that you're from the same place and ended up here together, I guess. I'm not racist.

[lurings]

I think he got here first. But I got to the Knights first.

[pathology]

Yeah? I think the Knights are pretty awesome, for what they are. I mean, most of the time, when Shadowkind fall through, it's like, you're basically an illegal immigrant, right? Even if you're passing and not a Lord of the Rings reject, you don't ... exist. Not on paper. So your options are kind of shitty. I just, I dunno, I think it's nice that you ... have this.

Except for the whole war thing right now. But ... yeah.

[lurings]

[ she feels astrid so hard, head bobbing in a nod and her appreciation for the woman growing. ]

I like it. Not the war, obviously. It's better than what I had back home. [ anything would be better than living in murder house ok. she reflexively tucks her hair behind her ear. also better than jail. probably better than death, that one is up in the air. ]

[pathology]

What was back home? [besides... murder. she's not counting that. she doesn't realize the murder was home, ok.]

[lurings]

More serial killers. [ an astounding amount. like wow. ] My parents are dead so I had to live in a hospital. I had nowhere else to go. Then I spent three months hidden in a cannibal's basement.

[ and now she is on torture island. yay? ]

[pathology]

Oh. [now she's kind of staring at her like awwwwkwaaaaardddddd.]

[lurings]

Yeah. [ a beat. ] So you can see why this is better. Surprising lack of people trying to kill me.

[pathology]

Apparently. Fair, um, trigger warning, some races around here practice ritualistic cannibalism.

[lurings]

I've heard that. [ and she still doesn't sound super duper excited about it wow. she even shudders a little but other than that doesn't comment. ]

[pathology]

I don't think anyone does at the castle, though. At least not like, on the grounds. [/tries to be reassuring, ends up rambly. this is why astrid doesn't do feelings.]

[lurings]

Fred said he would jump in front of me if that came up. [ did he really????? ]

[pathology]

Fred is cool. He was my mentor.

[lurings]

[ OH LOOK SOLACE IS TALKING. (listen 16) it's not will, abigail doesn't care. she marginally cares, cora was near the prison... but hell no is abigail going near a prison. nope, no. nyet. she glances over at astrid like go go gadget medic. ]

[pathology]

[maybe abigail's hearing is good enough to hear solace talking ... on the other side of the ship, but astrid's listen was only 5 so she's just staring at her like what???]

[lurings]

They need a cleric.

[pathology]

And I'm a medic.

[lurings]

[ her lips purse. wow astrid. she meant it in the general sense. ] Okay, let Taradiddle do it.

[pathology]

God, fuck that little hobbit bitch.

[lurings]

So what are you waiting for? [ VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE OK. ]

[pathology]

Um, Solace said he was going to pick people. If he wants me, he'll let me know.

[lurings]

Has anyone ever told you that you're incredibly difficult?

[pathology]

Yeah, like, all the time.

[lurings]

[ gee, that's a surprise. ]

If the doppelgänger team calls and you let me or Taradiddle go instead of volunteering, I will literally kill you.

[ so casual. hella cas. she could be kidding. she's probably kidding. she is so not kidding. ]

[pathology]

Because of Will? [she scrunches her nose and can't resist asking ...] Are you in love with him?
