"Hmm. Parents. Let me think. No, can't say either of them taught me anything useful, except how to dodge when someone's throwing things at you, like, say, glass bottles. And taking care of the occasional injury. But those were more of 'learning by necessity' and less of 'sitting down and having a lesson with my father', since he was as likely to attack me as look at me. Any other pointless questions, or are you done?"Free Empire of the Low Isles wrote:Charlia wrote:"Hey, Sam! Whatcha doin'?"
Samantha would have completely frozen, had she been anyone else. Instead, her grip on the gun tightened, and she nodded stiffly. "That is... an acceptable arrangement," she replied coldly. "Please walk faster. The sooner we find someone who can tell us what's going on, the better."
It was transparently obvious that her 'please' was simply a formality, but at least she was doing that much, right?
Naranbaatar,
That was... Strange,
Southern Haefyn Peninsula
"Faster isn't the key to travelling long distances." Naro said, immediately devolving into the speech he typically gave inexperienced soldiers when they got curious as to why the horde moved so slowly. "It's moving at a constant speed that you can keep up even through the entirety of the night and then some that's the trick. If you sprint or gallop to a destination, you will simply tire your house or yourself out before you reach there. Whereas if you simply walk at a comfortable pace, you could make past where you would have to stop for a break and possibly even make it to the destination."
Looking back at Sam for a moment, Naro decided that learning a bit about his enemy would be useful. He turned back toward the front for a bit and picked up his pace a little. "My father taught me that. Did your parents teach you anything that you remember to this day, Sam? Perhaps how to so efficiently threaten strangers that don't want to hurt you?" he asked, chuckling slightly as his nip at her.
Charlotte followed his lead, looking up at the bird and squinting to try and see it more clearly. "Well, that's a bit of a relief," she replied. "At least it's something relatively normal..."Faal Lot Himdah wrote:Shilo Weardhyll

"Don't mention it." Shilo said without looking back at her, "Besides, its safer to travel in a group.... Wait do you see that?"
Shilo stopped and was looking up to the sky, and noticed a bird flying around. It looked like some sort of hawk. "Looks like a hawk. At least that means there is some sort of ecosystem here."

As soon as Samantha heard the shout, she turned, keeping the gun pointed at Naro while she did so.Vulnier wrote:Thomas "Tom" Montoya
A Beach
Southern Haefyn Peninsula
Thomas had been sitting at the base of a dune sipping at his canteen, resting for a time. But this also gave him time to think a bit on his situation, and it wasn't looking good. From what he could tell, he was alone without his regiment on potentially enemy territory with no food and no idea where he was. He grimaced at this thought. At least I got ammo... Thomas sighed, letting his head hang low for a few moments before looking up at the sky, wondering how he got into this mess.
It was then Thomas caught movement in the sky, looking to see a bird a ways out. Thinking it strange, he then traced it down with his finger to see two figures walking down the beach. Thomas scrambled to his feet as he saw this, nearly dropping the water out of his canteen. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was a trick of the heat. But when the figures did not dissipate, a look of pure joy crossed his face.
Finally... Was all he could think, even thinking they could be from his regiment. Forgetting his Krag, Thomas stumbled over himself as he went between the dunes and the ocean. It was then he yelled "Hello!", waving toward the pair.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded, staring at the stranger. "Let me guess. You don't know. Or are you the person responsible for this nonsense? Come on, then."
If you are responsible... I have better things to do than deal with this.

"Because for all I knew, he was the one responsible for all this, despite his denials," she replied calmly, before putting her gun away. "But now that there are two of you... the likelihood of him actually being responsible is smaller. As for you... Are we the first people you've seen here, or have you seen others? Be quick, please, I don't want to waste time."Vulnier wrote:Charlia wrote:As soon as Samantha heard the shout, she turned, keeping the gun pointed at Naro while she did so.

Thomas was surprised by the lady's harsh tone, almost accusatory, but considering the circumstances, she did have a right to be so. Taking a few seconds, he grabbed his carbine, holding it in his left hand so as to appear non-threatening.
He began walking toward them, answering back the questions. "Well a moment ago I was just resting ma' legs, but if you mean to ask why we are here on this beach, then... yes, I dont know. But being responsible? That claim is just ridicules, especially considering I was jus' fightin' in Cuba with the 1st 'fore I woke up here."
As Tom drew near, could see that the second figure was a man, dressed in the strangest way, almost like a indian, but not quite. And the lady, while obviously wearing more, just had something about it... maybe more modern? It was then he saw the lady was holding something, and instantly recognized it as a gun.
Tom stopped about 12 yards from the pair, looking with concern at the 'gun' and the person in front of it before looking back at the lady. "Ma'am, I sincerely apologize if I'm intruding on your businesses... but why the hell are you holding this strangely dressed man at gun point?"

"I'm fine," Meira muttered, climbing to her feet and glancing around, a scowl slowly crossing her face. "Just peachy. I'd say 'thanks' but I wouldn't mean it, and I try not to lie, so I won't bother. Just my luck," she continued, half to herself, "that of all the groups I could get stuck in, I wind up surrounded by men. No thanks. I'd rather hang out with Mr. Snips over there."Faal Lot Himdah wrote:Appius Servilius Minervalis

With the three pronged attack on the Demon Crab, it fell. It could not avoid any of the attacks, nor was its shell hard enough now to deflect the bullets. It fell to the ground and laid their, the colour from its eyes gone from its now lifeless body.
"Is everyone down there alright?" Appius spoke to the group of them, "No loss of hearing? Any injuries?"

Meira thought she might burst out laughing at Wander's words, but she contained it to a subdued chuckle(which sounded oddly humorless). "Sorry, it's kind of rude to laugh at someone, isn't it?" she asked rhetorically, still trying to suppress her laughter. "Let's just say that your objection to my problem is my problem."Granis wrote:"I'm fine, sir. Just a little bruised." Wander said to the armoured man. "Thank you for the timely rescue. I don't know what have happened there if you hadn't shown up."
He then turned to Meira, whose mood seemed to have taken an immediate drop.
"Meira, these men just saved our lives..." He said, a little confused as to why she was suddenly being so hostile towards them. "Without them, we would have been hanging out with Snippy, as in hanging from its claws and mouth! The best chance we have of survival is to stick together, at least for now."
And then he looked down at the sand, an uncomfortable expression on his face.
"And I probably wouldn't advise staying on the beach. There could very well be more of them under the sand."
After a moment of silence, he looked over to the crab, and then back to the armoured man.
"So are these crabs edible?"
