COMBINED CAMP: DAY THREE

[sparednothing]

[The morning ends the heavy storm, bright sunshine beaming down on the makeshift camp. Some of you may be injured from last nights incidents, but at least this is some downtime for you to recuperate. Tembo and Harding are arguing heatedly some distance from the camp, but otherwise the jungle is silent.

The camp is being visited, however. A pack of compsognathus have made their way into camp. They're little guys only ten inches high, easily the smallest residents on the island. They're currently scurrying around the camp, looking for any food to scavenge, seemingly not concerned with the people milling around]

Comments

[assassino]

[Ezio hates dinosaurs.

So when a compsognathus comes near him, he pulls out his handgun and BANG.

Ezio hates dinosaurs.]

[mal_addict]

[Oh hey, it's Maladict with a cup of coffee]

That desperate for breakfast, huh?

[hellofist]

[Cass is looking kind of beat up, bare feet and ripped shirt and scratches on her legs, a little annoyed by how badly all of this is going again, but otherwise fine.

And not all that concerned Ezio is murdering dinosaurs, considering her usual everything has a right to live stance.]

They... swarm, like bees. Eat prey alive. If you see more? Shoot them, too.

[There's kids out here, so taking these things out now? Better than letting other people get hurt.]

[songsandstories]

[Alayne is not equipped to deal with these creatures. She's oddly reminded of the dragons Queen Daenerys had brought with her. The stories have always told her that they are dangerous. It's really only now that the stories are coming to life that she sees how truly monstrous they are.

Her search for Robb and Arya have lead her to Ezio. The beast he shot falls over in front of her and she is stilled, wide eyes looking from the small lizard to Ezio himself. She knows of guns, of the technology that others bring from their home to the castle, but to see what it has done up close has her frozen. She is thankful that he managed to take one done though, especially since it would have crossed paths with her.]

Ezio! [A look of relief washes over her.]

[wilder]

[Hey guess who slept ENTIRELY through the t-rex attack? Just guess. Either way, he's coming out and noticing some of the damage to the trailers and oh, the fact that there's a lot more people around]

Uh...did I miss something last night?

[pint_sized_carnivore]

You really slept through all that?

[heal_theworld]

[Martel walks over when she sees him. It's hard to miss that bright red hair.]

Only two giant dragon-lizards attacking this camp. Did you honestly sleep through it?

[save_the_souls]

[Allen meanwhile woke up early, grabbed some breakfast and seems to be going around to check for people's injuries and what not. So whenever he sees someone that seems a bit hurt, he'll approach]

Do you need some help?

[The compys will get the occasional wary look, but all in all he'll try to ignore them]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie winced when she took a bad step on the ground. She balanced herself on one leg to check her ankle. It looks like she sprained it last night from the sudden sprinting...]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara is just sitting by herself, outside, with some canned food for breakfast. She's got her new assault rifle on her back, and that big gun beside her.]

[findatree]

[Ted has no idea what these little guys are. But he did get attacked by a T-rex, so he's keeping a healthy distance even as he watches them scavange around. They're tiny little guys...]

[i_demand_euphoria]

[What, Ted, one bad experience with a dinosaur and you don't know how to have fun anymore? Calvin sidles up alongside his dinosaur riding buddy.]

Last night was cool, wasn't it? [No Calvin. No. You only think that because your Mun was at work through the T-Rex attack.]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss woke up at the soft noises coming from all around them, and rolled to her feet. She eyed the flock of the little chicken sized dinosaurs, before checking her pack. Then she eyed the tiny dinosaurs again. Sharp teeth, never trust the ones with sharp teeth ... and maybe they'd make a good meal...]

[She loaded her gun, keeping a careful and thoughtful eye on them.]

[unvarnished]

[after she and Bond helped him, August has stuck close to Katniss. He trusts her, and his leg keeps acting up. He notices what she's doing and shakes his head, trying to hide a smile]

What do you think they taste like?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix and company had arrived somewhat later to the camp, given he had decided to leave dealing with the T-rex rather wisely to what might dubious be called professionals. Somewhat rain-soaked and ill-tempered, he had at least done his best to assure that Mildmay and Thamuris were whole before collapsing for the rest of the night.

By morning he is frazzled and unhappy as he looks out over the camp, a displeased stare leveled in particular at Tembo and Harding.]

I wonder what they are talking about.

[kungfuwitch]

[Phoebe looks pretty haggard as she wanders over]

I don't know and at this point I'm not sure if I care.

[both_neither]

[Gren has taken to sleeping in the cab of the truck he'd driven here. A lumpy seat was still safer, warmer, and drier than any patch of jungle. Just because he'd risked himself to help the other team didn't mean he didn't have the ability to be a bit selfish, especially if Vicious was at his side]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Oh hey someone she knows. Nora pulls herself up and peers through the window at Gren]

You alive in there?

[is_mafia]

[After that attack, Giotto is pretty on edge, especially with those tiny things running around camp. He's been leaning against one of the trailers, watching them all morning. They had sharp enough teeth that if they bit someone, it'd be nasty, though they don't seem interested in them.

Yet.

He also hadn't found Tsuna yet, though if he wasn't at either camp it was likely he was on the ship that seemed to be milling about, according to people who had posted in the journal. It was probably for the best.]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Nora waves idly as she walks over. He'd likely notice that she's carrying a pistol with her.]

Hey, Giotto. I'm glad to see you're in one piece.

[not_nikkiheat]

[One tiny dinosaur Kate could handle. A pack of them? No thanks. She's eating her meager breakfast with one hand, her gun in the other, just in case the pack decides to try something.]

[toobravehearted]

[Not that far away sits the Doctor. Staring. At one of these little guys. Not in wonder or surprise, he's actually having a staring competition with one of them. He has a strip of beef jerky in one hand and it looks like the Compy is sizing him up for it.]

They only attack if provoked, you know.

[A beat.]

Usually.

[iaimtomisbehave]

[Mal didn't encounter too many animals in space. As he glances at the little lizard-chicken things scurrying around camp, he's just about decided that's one of his favorite things about space. He's had about enough of creatures trying to kill him. He gets enough of that from humans. He grips his gun, ready to take aim.]

Should we be worried about those things?

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara casually walks beside him with her assault rifle]

Worried? No.

[Lara cocks her gun after loading a new magazine in]

Cautious, maybe.

[schrodingersghost]

Shoo! Go away!

[Danny was in no mood to deal with more dinosaurs. He had bruises on his bruises, okay? All he wanted to do was sleep.

Even if they were really kind of cute. And looked kind of harmless.

And wouldn't leave him alone.]

Boo!

[He wiggles his fingers at them, as he attempts to scare them away. And he sighs as there is no effect.]

Maybe I need to take being scary lessons.

[toobravehearted]

[Doctor/Dinosaur staring competition is a go. Except the one contender (compsognathus in the blue corner) is now joined by another... maybe its trainer.]

Careful. They won't hurt as long as you don't make them angry.

Please state the nature of the medical emergency

[simulatedmedic]

May I have everyone's attention.

[This is called out by the Doc who has set up a mini surgery of sorts in his tent.]

Anyone who still needs medical assistance, please come over to this tent. With dinosaurs roaming around, we don't want people hurt more because of pride, or hard-headedness.

OH HI

[stormborned]

[ Daenerys comes forward; after having fallen on a piece of metal equipment and essentially having knocked herself out, she knows better than to ignore the obvious. There's a slight trickle of red still coursing down from her forehead, despite her having attempted to wipe it off with her hands. ]

...I believe I may have fallen unconscious for a short while.

[ She makes her way into the tent, pressing the heel of her palm to her head and sitting on a makeshift chair. ]

[lightbranded]

[Will is sitting cross-legged on the ground and being very quiet as he watches the small dinosaurs.]

Last night was bad. One of the worst nights I have ever seen, I think.

[songsandstories]

[She remembers the boy she once helped, his arm and the brand upon it. Alayne would greet him differently, but it seems more of the small dinosaurs are approaching. The thought makes her tummy hurt, and she must swallow down the fear. Alayne needs to have a bastard's bravery.]

If we move not, will they leave?

Pleeeeeaaaaaaaaase NPC a compy?

[quadro_dent]

[Oh look! Dinosaurs her own size! Sunny wanders closer to them, grinning. Maybe they're friendly and she can make friends.]

[sparednothing]

[One chirrups, hoping closer to her, tilting its head curiously]

(frozen comment) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

[sparednothing]

[Those dreaded footfalls start up again, rippling water and making the ground quake. You have a few moments to get your wits about you before mama rex bursts out of the jungle. She's injured, from the night before, and seems to be missing an eye, but she's here and hungry. There's no space to fight here, not any more, so you're going to have to run. Do you follow the river or run into the long grass?]

[wolfskin]

[ Alas the sun does not bring any warmth to Robb.

Ever since the chaos the King in the North has the air of a winter storm; cold and unyielding, and the temper of his direwolf; snapping and snarling. Arya is missing, not only that so is Henry. His sister and his ward vanished into the storm, not to be seen again.

Sufficed to say that he is in no mood for the tiny dinosaurs that scramble around the camp, if anything that simply make things worse. ]

Two of our party are missing, we must find them! [ LIKE RIGHT NOW, NOT AFTER THOSE IDIOTS STOP ARGUING. ]

[unvarnished]

Your Grace! [if Robb is talking about two people, then...]

I'm coming with you.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane is tired. Jane has not slept. Jane is shooing away all the little dinosaurs because, really? She did not need to know that dinosaurs are alive out there in the universe. She's sick of dinosaurs. She hopes she never has to see another dinosaur again.]

I am so very, very done...

[staggeringego]

[ James'll just be wandering over to her right now. He's trying to stay upbeat about everything going on himself, though it's not easy at the moment. ]

Not enjoying yourself for some reason?

[unnaturalpause]

[The one bad thing about this entire thing has been the fact that James has been wanting to study these things for the entire time. Yeah.

Which is why he's sitting nearish the edge of camp with some food and just staring at the comsognathus running around. And for once he's not actually poking them, yet.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine walks over quietly, trying not to disturb them. Disturbing lizards with pointy teeth = bad idea. Disturbing many lizards pointy teeth = especially bad.]

Neat little buggers, aren't they?

Finally, Wash's dino chewing posted lat

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[Washington was looking around the camp, hoping today would be... Somewhat better. But you know, this is Washington. His luck must be awful. No exceptions.

This includes stapping on the tail of a tiny dinosaur, pissing it and a number of others of its kind off. And they're biting hard, getting cries of pain as he tries to kick the damn things away to get them off.] Fucking hell. Go away.

[encryptedlock]

[Aw hell, not these goddamned things. As much as he would like to just run the fuck away, he can't let Wash stand there and get eaten.]

Son of a bitch. Wash! Get away from them! They're poisonous!
