Tuesday, November 5th, 2013 | Day 45 : 4/4 | Music | Location: Somewhere... beyond the sea| ooc: Adam's headache never quite went away fully after that, but it deterred him from worrying about the compass for now. At one point, they found out they had to go to an island, so they drove back to Inverloch and Brandon somehow got them to steal a boat. Adam didn't see the point in being awake, and he really did not want to be awake on this boat. So Adam took another headache medication and placed his sweatshirt over his eyes. He kept his bag close to him, he didn't like the idea of someone looking through it during that time. He closed his eyes under the sweatshirt and fell asleep, annoyed by the rocking from the waves.
"Well Lauren, my name is Salvatore Osorio. Though please, call me Sal." Lauren liked his name, it reminded her of a salamander. She was half tempted to call him that too. But she kept from it. When they made it to Mikey, he was a little hesitant about giving up his clothes to a stranger, but he did in the end. When they found out the bus was leaving, she mentioned it to Sal trying to not go into detail really, and he ended up tagging along with them for Birdsville. On the bus, Lauren and Alice both had a silent conversation while Mikey was passed out nearby. They were both checking up on each other, seeing how the other was doing. Often Alice let out a giggle in response to some of the things they talked about. Lauren kept constantly looking over at Sal. There was something about him that was almost... drawing. She couldn't figure it out. She pet Avery who was on her lap, and she tried to crack a window on the bus for fresh air. Only for her to accidentally break it and have it stay halfway open. Lauren was not excited about going to her parent's house clearly, and it kept her awake. But after Alice fell asleep leaning on her she fell asleep as well not long after her.
err.... especially your elder strangers. although this is a moral taught... I personally don't find it a very good moral. ...ooo I like this one I never really... wow that one was a bit more obvious too....
I am certain it is supposed to be a message about friendship and how powerful it can be and how it can affect people's actions and their lives. And it counterbalances itself too. While originally they liked to shove "friendship is my power" friendship is obviously shown as a weakness too in the series. Look at BBS for instance. How many of those events could have been prevented if they put logic before friendship? I don't think Kingdom Hearts is supposed to have a big broad topic it is trying to cover throughout. But I feel like the friendship message is the closest one. The darkness-light balance isn't really... mentioned... officially. We don't hear int he stories about people too consumed by light, we only hear about the darkness. And remember since it is disney oriented, they like to shove "light is good dark is bad" down out throats... all the time.
Outfit x x x x x x x x Music x x x x x x x OOC Today, Lillian decided she would wander into the arcade rather than go to the beach or do anything else she would typically do. A lot of the group seemed to be missing, and before it happened she heard the words "drunk" and "hike" so all she could do was assume the worst. Lilly drank before, at a party she went to once. Sure, she was only in 8th grade but that didn't stop kids these days. A couple kids in her grade were already smoking pot. She didn't want to get into the complications of that, if she even wanted to at all. At the arcade, there was a pool table. She could have easily gone over to one of the shooting games, but they were all glitchy, or some were even broken because someone decided to smash the screen. Why? She had no idea why the stranger smashed the screen. She racked it up and then made an opening breaking shot. Lilly looks around and grinned at how she got two in, but got nervous about the cue ball. Lilly pulled a bag of strawberries out of her pocket, ate one, and continued playing by herself.
Although it was possible no one noticed it, Xyloh's usual jumpy and obnoxious self was rather, quiet.and disturbed. She went along with everything just because she was afraid. She didn't speak to anyone, she didn't acknowledge anyone. She just... was there. Everything felt odd to her everything didn't seem the way she expected it to be. Why wasn't she in heaven?Why was everything so dark and gloomy?Where was her grandmother?And why didn't she feel... dead? ⌈Do you notice anything different about everyone?⌋ Xyloh realized she hadn't been paying attention to anything at that moment and she let out in a stutter, "I-I-I don't know... I-I wasn't..." Xyloh looked away from Leah, even though she had only looked briefly at her. Xyloh wandered slowly up to the butler and spoke, "U-Um excuse me I... why aren't... how are..." Xyloh couldn't let out the question, it was caught in her throat. Instead she held back tears and shook her head, "Thank you for the tour and warm welco-" she couldn't finish her thanks either, instead she looked straight towards the ground and didn't look up.
Lauren was happy she was able to help a guy out with clothing. She listened to the stranger intensely explain what was apparently flawed with her statement. "Also, listen, the camera isn't what saves the people who are being filmed by it. What saves them is...absolutely nothing short of luck really. You see, cameras don't have magical powers to protect people. Cameras simply just take the image that they're able to capture and stream it as a live video feed to the television stations them to broadcast and the people tuning in to see. Therefore, the people who go out there and get recorded use proper planning and luck to survive the storm they're in. I mean, if the cameras recording the person is what saves them, then what saves the people who are holding the cameras and pointing them at the people?" She was used to this, in fact, she almost learned how to block it out when it happened. But this time she decided to listen because why not? "The cameras are held by other people? I thought they were held up by um... triangles or something." Lauren placed a finger to her lips to ponder it until the man asked for her name and she grinned, "M'name's Lauren, Lauren Walker. How about you, mate?"
The man in front of her questioned her reasoning for why a camera would help him. Lauren rolled her eyes and let out a chuckle as she leaned down to pet Doug, "Isn't in obvious? When you look at the news all those people who stand outside with cameras pointed at them survive and turn out okay. Because the camera protects them, they'd be dead if they didn't have it! So if you had a camera pointed at you, you'd be safe. But since you say you were standin in the storm, you're lucky. Real lucky." She looked up from Doug and back at the stranger and stood up straight, "Do you need new clothes, mate? My coworker should have something your size if you need it."
-sighs- Spoiler: GIRLS SCOUT SONGS MAN ...argue, efficient, bat, fry, second-hand... AHHHH I sat there, in the room with a group of full grown adults, who had suddenly become children at the sound of a bat cracking a baseball. the energy, so distorted, something you could never believe second-hand... you had to be there, listen to them argue over whether or not the opposing team was playing fair. If the team was playing in an efficient manner, or if their brains were not working today. Needless to say, in an atmosphere like that you start to believe this behavior is acceptable and after I watched the man with the last name Fry totally miss something he could have caught. I joined the bedlam and childish ways of them all.
(pff banner tops? HAHAHHAHAHAHAH) "Oh my, I'm sorry Miss." Lauren didn't really acknowledge the man, she wasn't sure if he bumped into her, or if she bumped into him. And she would have kept walking if she didn't notice he had stopped. Lauren stopped Doug from walking and turned towards the man. His clothes were pretty torn up, and they looked like they were still drying off. Lauren tilted her head and spoke, "Ay mate... were you out in the storm or something? That isn't smart. Unless you had a camera. Then that'd be smart."
I'm gonna tell you right now, and I am probably a minority in this opinion. People take things on the internet too seriously. Everyone has bad days, I get that. Some people are naturally more sensitive than others. But if I reacted to every time I have been told to kill myself on the internet. I'd be dead on multiple occasions. There are cases where yes, cyberbullying is terrible. I have seen it go TOO far Spoiler: Trigger warning I was in an editing group on facebook, where two people broke into a petty fight, that got NEEDLESSLY cruel on this group. It went from "oh she's jealous of my editing" and somehow transitioned to "she's jealous of me because my child is still alive while her's is dead." That went WAY too far. and many people flipped out. I am including this part out of the spoiler. Despite the accusations at one of the girls, the person who went too far reported the group for cyberbullying HER. So it's cyberbullying because people went and tried to correct someone for being morally... unsound? I dare say what she said was so immoral I can't talk to her anymore like I used to. Cyberbullying, is subjective to the person being bullied. I could say someone is cyberbullying me for... I dunno, making a comment on my stuff that says " ; ) kawaii babeh" or something. But there are some people that appear to be cyberbullying to some people, but the person being "bullied" doesn't think they are. To keep this from going on forever. Cyberbullying, in my eyes, I think it ranges from being over really stupid things, to being over really serious things. People can go ahead and call me a *****, I really don't care, but the second they cross moral boundaries, it's done. So. If cyberbullying does bother the person, and there is a way to avoid it, keep yourself away from it. If there is no way to get rid of that person, I'd honestly get help. Anon messages on tumblr though, some people troll to troll. No one should take anon mail seriously, no matter what your emotional state is, but I know there are people who can't control themselves when it comes to things like that. I just really wish people could think if it has no face, it has no meaning to me.
Did you say today is November 5th? I know the year is 2013... The 45th day of what? I know the day is 2/4 over. I'm in Australia...on the move. I'm wearing casual clothing. I have nothing else to say. Alice, Lauren, and Mikey were all sitting on the roof of the house that they could not leave from. It was still flooded, and the loud noise froma couple days ago, turned out to be a tree that had destroyed the exit to the house anyhow. Emergency helicopters were circling and Mikey kept trying to get their attention. They weren't aware the storm had stopped the day before, and now that they were sure, they wanted out of there as soon as possible. Alice clung to Lauren tightly, and in return she leaned her head against her head. Lauren was in a bit of shock on her own as well. She didn't think it could do this much damage. After a few more minutes of this, Lauren stood up and walked over next to Mikey. "Maybe we need to shoot something?" Mikey's eyes widened as he looked over at Lauren and spoke, "Excuse me?""You know, in those rescue movies, they shoot something. Fireworks I think, from a gun. I have a gun if you have a firework handy." Mikey stared at her in disbelief for a minute longer before flicking her in the forehead and walking away from her on the roof replying, "That is a signal flare that comes from a flare gun. Not a firework from a gun."Lauren walked towards him roughly and spoke, "So pretty much the same th- AH." Right on cue the roof underneath gave out and she fell through it. Alice let out a shriek and Mikey cautiously made his way to the hole and looked down, "Ay. Fruitloop. Y'alright?" Not a moment after Lauren gave Mikey the thumbs up from the floor of the attic and stood up to rejoin them on the roof. On the way up, Lauren grabbed Avery and her dingo, Doug, and brought them up to the roof. Mikey looked like he was ready to kill her and yelled, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO BRING THEM ON THE ROOF."Lauren gave him sad puppy dog eyes and spoke, "They need air too..." A loud roar of a helicopter came and Mikey waved frantically, Lauren joined. When it looked like the helicopter was about to pass, Alice stood up and pulled a red sweatshirt out of a bag and threw it to Mikey, who started to wave it like a flag. Lauren put two fingers in her mouth and let out a sharp whistle which made Alice and Mikey block their ears. "Mate, they ain't gonna hear that!" Right on cue, the helicopter went back their way and Lauren shouted, "Aye mate, they did!" They hadn't heard her whistle. There was no possible way that could even happen. All of them only managed to salvage a backpack, and Alice held onto Doug while Lauren held onto Avery when they were lifted. If it wasn't an emergency, they would have immediately taken Doug and Avery away. Fortunately, they were a bit forgiving. They were transferred to a port town and they all took a boat to mainland Australia. Alice had recharged her cellphone and was frantically trying to get into contact with her family. Lauren sat next to her pets in a happy daze, glad that they were all at least still alive. Lauren got up and leaned over the edge of the boat, and Mikey was standing nearby to make sure she didn't fall out. She leaned pretty close to the water to look at what was underneath it. It had been a while since she went to the mainland. After a few minutes Alice turned over to Lauren and spoke, "I can't get a hold of my family... can you call yours?" Lauren cringed and spoke, "No...""Please?" Alice gave her this long look of sadness and Lauren took the phone from her and called up. Spoiler: Phone Call Hello?Ay... mum?Who is this?It's Laur...Lauren! Y'alright! We were worried sick.Yeah...They're evacuatin over there in Tasmania. You comin here?Um... I dunn-You should come here hun!...fine mama I'll be there... I'm with my... roommate and coworker.We can't wait to see you sweetie! G-day! Lauren hung up the phone and handed it to Alice and Mikey, "We're heading to my parents...""A-right... is it the same drill as usual?""Yeah..." Mikey looked over at Alice confused, "What?""Her parents are homophobes... they don't know we're married." Mikey wrapped an arm around Alice and spoke, "I'll pretend to be your guy if ya want?" Lauren walked right up to Mikey and punched him square in the face, he fell down holding his nose yelling, "Aw hell! What are ya-""You can't pretend to be a guy you already are one... unless there is something you aren't telling us, mate?" Mikey blinked at her and Lauren grabbed his shirt saying, "AND STOP TOUCHING MY WIFE.""Lauren calm down please!" Lauren rubbed her fist and looked over at Alice sadly, "I don't wanna go back to Birdsville..." After a couple of hours, they finally docked in Foster with many others, who all waited for a transportation out of there to go further inland. Lauren wandered about a bit, looking at the damage Foster had also taken. Alice told her not to wander far, so she only wandered a couple of streets away, with Doug on a leash with her.
Tuesday, November 4th, 2013 | Day 45 : 2/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: "Do you want to go and try and find a pharmacy or something and get something for that headache there? Don't worry, I'll pay for it. After all, a friend in pain is just not a good thing." He appreciated the friend comment, he wasn't going to lie, and he liked the offer he tried to make, but he had no idea what he'd even get for this kind of headache. He could play along or something by taking medication, at least it'd look like he'd appreciate the help. Although he really would if medicine actually helped it. Then Adam remembered the wound on his finger and thought about it better. "Maybe... I think we should see if there is a pharmacy open somewhere and get medication and some stuff for wounds, since some people still look bad from the shipw-" Adam closed his eyes for a moment as he tried to get the headache to settle down for just another moment. After a brief period of silence he said, "Maybe I'm dehydrated? We should get bottled water or something... others might be too... did you wake up the girls on the way here so we can try and get a move on?" The headache came back again and this time he felt like he was going to throw up and he whispered to himself, "Bloody hell..." then after he shook his head a bit and looked over at Brandon with concern, "Are you alright from the wreck? You seem to be alright but I can't tell.."
Outfit x x x x x x x x Music x x x x x x x OOC There was a little mound underneath the blankets of her bed, spread out a little more because Maria was not there. Lilly had her headphones on full blast for who knows how long, because the people in the room with her were loud. She heard most to all of the conversations regardless of what she blasted. She just wanted to sleep, and it wasn't happening, and she finally snapped when she heard. "I'm... Really, REALLY sorry babe..." "OH MY GOD SHUT UP." Suddenly, FPS Lilly kicked in, and she shot up from under the covers and pointed at the two still going on about this and spoke, "I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GO TO BED FOR A WHILE, AND THEN YOU TWO JUST POP IN BEING ALL 'COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP' I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING BUT THIS NEEDS TO STOP." She pointed to Natalie and said, "YOU, GO TO SLEEP. HE SAID NO, THERE WILL BE NO WIGGLIN AND GIGGLIN TONIGHT."She then turned and pointed to Alex, "YOU GET OUT OF HERE, THANK YOU FOR BEING A GENTLEMAN AND ALL BUT I'M TIRED." Lilly glared at the two and let out a quick breath, "SO HELP ME GOD IF I HEAR ANYMORE I WON'T LET THIS GO. WOULDN'T THIS BE A FUN STORY TO TELL." Lilly softened up and smiled, "Goodnight you two." then she buried herself under the covers and shouted, "I WON'T REPEAT MYSELF AGAIN." Then she fell asleep.
Tuesday, November 4th, 2013 | Day 45 : 1/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: When Brandon had spoken and Adam realized he had followed them, he found it extremely annoying. The one time he is followed is the one time he didn't want people acknowledging his existence. Fortunately, Danel had stopped time when he gave him the knife. "Honestly Adam, you couldn't get alone for two seconds?""Hey. I tried. Usually I am not followed." Danel held out the knife to him and Adam took it as Danel spoke, "Don't screw up. If you get stuck, I can't guarantee I will be able to help you." Adam had time to put the knife in his bag before Danel disappeared and time continued. He tried to keep in the same position he was when Brandon was talking to him, but he had no idea. Adam took a breath and cringed a bit and looked over at Brandon, "Oh um, I'm fine I just have a really bad headache." he slipped the ring off the hand in his pocket and kept it in his pocket, remembering that it was still bleeding. Adam zoned off for a moment thinking about the dagger in his bag now. He was now using the same type of weapon that ended up killing that boy that was in this group before him. Was his name Shaun? He didn't remember and didn't really care, and killed Bonnie. Some of the ideas of it freaked him out. What if he accidentally cut his finger or something? Was he doomed to slowly die? Adam stopped zoning out and looked back over at Brandon.
How about now?
Tuesday, November 4th, 2013 | Day 45 : 1/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: "Goooooood Moooorrrrrnnnniiiinnnggggggg!" It hadn't been 20 minutes maybe and that screaming only made his head worse. Adam grabbed his head in pain and coughed, he felt tears roll out because of the pain but he quickly rubbed them away and he sat up and threw a pillow at Brandon aggressively and whispered, "Don't yell." He moved his hand down and his eyes focused on the finger he had accidentally stabbed. How had he totally forgotten about that? He got up as fast as he could and walked over to the bathroom and held his hand to the finger and tried to use the mist again before he was interrupted. Wow, you really aren't listening to me? Wrap it up instead of healing it, it'll look like you got it from the boat being capsized... do I need to baby you? Adam glared and went out of the bathroom, and put his hand in his pocket. The cut just happened to be the same hand as the one with the ring so he didn't have to put both in his pocket. Adam grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder and grabbed his head and mumbled, "If you need me I'm heading outside for a second, I need fresh air. I'll be back in the lobby." Adam left the room and headed to the ground floor and headed to the back part of the outside of the hotel. If he had a cigarette this would have been the perfect time to smoke. Adam closed his eyes to help with the headache, but it wasn't working. At least he was alone now.
Tuesday, November 4th, 2013 | Day 45 : 1/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: Adam was holding his breath under the bed, trying not to freak out or make a loud noise. He knew Joslyn/Azazel was awake by all the movements, and Joslyn speaking to herself. He didn't want to get caught. It would be the worse time to. It only cracked! I stabbed at it four times and all it did was crack itI said it should work, not that it would. Maybe if you had gotten the obsidian dagger like I told you ... I couldn't get it, the group is in a chaotic mess right now. What do you want me to do Adam? That's Seraph blood in the compass. I can't touch it. Adam took a long moment to think about it. If the obsidian dagger was what was going to make it break, he needed it. Who knew if Henrik would even bother with cooperation at this point. I don't know, can you get me another dagger? There was another moment before Danel spoke. You'll have to meet me somewhere. That's fine I can get away from this group for enough time to.All right. Keep your ring on. I'll find you soon enough.Fine then... Now he had to worry about how to get out of there. Going back the way he came seemed impossible, and he almost gave up thinking of a way out, until he remembered he was on the floor. He figured he could just sneak out that way and wouldn't be detected. Adam do not put too much force on yourself you cannot handle it yet after your little stunt! Adam ignored Semyaza and took a deep breath and felt his body go numb and sink through the floor. He opened his eyes under the bed of the room directly below in the hotel. He quickly checked to look, and the people were still sleeping, he quickly moved and used that same power to get through the door. His breathing got heavy as he grabbed his head. What did I just tell you? Adam staggered over to the stairs and ran up them, as he ran past Joslyn and Iris' room, he grabbed his bag that was outside and ran to his room. He went inside and sat on the bed, grabbing his head suppressing a scream, "What the hell is this?" Over-exhausting yourself. Adam fell back onto the bed only to pretend that he was still asleep, if Joslyn started knocking on doors he'd be there ready. But now his head felt like it was going to explode.
DAY 45Tuesday, November 4, 2013Tuesday, November 4th, 2013 | Day 45 : 1/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: Adam woke up really early, a little too early. This whole ordeal was eating at him, and he just wanted it done now. He came to the reasoning that Joslyn wasn't going to bother to try and repair this, at all. So why bother taking the trust route. If he was caught, he'd destroy it and run as fast and far as he could. Point was, he was going to grab it no matter what. Adam got his stuff and had it all packed up and ready, then he left the room. He went up to the room Iris and Joslyn and unclipped Nahkosh from his necklace and let it turn into a small dagger. He took a deep breath and slipped the ring onto his finger. I'm going to try now, I'm putting this on in case this goes completely wrong.Well dumbass, don't screw up.You should be more encouraging. Who is this?Mali, go back to your assignment. Now Adam took a deep breath and stood by the door, he closed his eyes and touched the door and then felt everything go numb. The next time he opened his eyes, he felt a bit fatigued, but was at the other side of the door. He quickly ducked down and inched his way over to Joslyn's side of the room. He wasn't going to be dumb and try to take it off of her first because he would have no chance. Adam picked up the compass gently, and then moved it to the side so it wasn't over Joslyn's body, and he stabbed Nahkosh into it on the glass side, it cracked but did not break. It got one of his fingers but he quickly moved it to keep from bleeding on the compass. He refrained from letting out a grunt and stabbed at it again about 3 more times before he placed it down and ducked, rolling under the bed. He probably did not have a fast enough reaction time.
Monday, November 3rd, 2013 | Day 44 : 5/4 | Music | Location: Inverloch, Australia| ooc: Adam was irritated why Joslyn wouldn't even bother to just tell him where to go right or left when driving. He understood Azazel didn't like him but it really pissed him off that basic communication was apparently an issue. If he wasn't so sore and out of it, Adam would have smacked her. And he wouldn't have cared about what happened after, he was that angry about it. And everyone else seemed to be reluctant to get into the vehicle and it confused the hell out of him. He hadn't done anything, yet. Unless they were still judging him from his house recruitment thing, which he wouldn't be surprised about. They managed to collect three more, so there were a total of 7 of them, meaning half of them were still missing. This was great. Not really but yes at the same time. Hana and Jun Tae weren't there, and they were the ones who seemed to know what was going on. If he wanted to get rid of the compass this was the perfect time to try just that. And if he was caught he'd have to run like hell because these people weren't exactly weak. Adam went into the hotel with the rest of them and fell asleep immediately due to exhaustion.
