Team Tembo: Day one

[sparednothing]

[By now you should have already woken up to your surroundings. Your camp is in the jungle, surrounded by tents, vehicles and cages full of dinosaurs. Wander around, check out the armoury, wonder why there are a bunch of dinosaurs in cages, or get yourself a tent]

The Camp

[sparednothing]

[Camp fires are dotted around, mingle in the area, check out those InGen stamps on everything. Hey look, there are a LOT of guns here, aren't there? There seem to be no clues as to why you're all here. Yet.]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara woke up and immediately got out of her tent. Almost at a panic, but she managed to not freak out yet. A camp in the middle of the forest? That's nothing new to her, but why? Is she still in Paradisa?

No one seems to notice her, as if she's part of this group all along... But being around armed strangers she thought of evening out the odds and look for weapons for herself. She tried to look for any clues to give her an idea where she is]

InGen? Is this some kind of research party?

[She reached the armory and almost gasped at the amount of weapons stocked in the tent... She walked around, as if window shopping, to pick a weapon she's familiar with and could carry around]

[ino]

[ Ino is just eyeing the logos on everything, her hand dangerously close to the pack on her leg. She may also be muttering to herself. ]

Great, just what I wanted. Another trip to stupid giant lizard land.

[originalcopy]

Oh son of a fuck... what now?

[Church is going to looking around camp for people he knows. No clue what InGen is but it's probably something he's going to learn to hate.]

[workaphilic]

[Things go exactly like this: Sherlock wakes up, he registers his surroundings, and he makes a beeline for the guns.

He rifles through them, testing their weight, inspecting them, aiming at nothing. (Never been praised for his observance of gun safety.) He's already selected a handgun, tucked it away in the waistband of his trousers, but he seems to be evaluating all of them.

Welp.]

[snowstorms]

[Jack is woefully powerless. He's side-eying the guns already, but he's more concerned with the fact that he is totally human right now and not turning everything to frost.

He's not sure that's a good thing.

That doesn't keep him from scaling a tree, though.]

[ensorceler]

[ Waking up in an unfamiliar and cramped tent is more than a little alarming, but to realize she's in nothing but her shift makes it much worse. If it had been cold she might have at least had her robe as well, but that's nowhere to be found. The only thing seemingly brought with her from the castle is the stupid journal, so Anne attempts to make do with a sheet, folding and arranging it around her until it almost looks like a cloak. Which feels gross in this heat, for sure, but it's for her modesty's sake!

So this is one Anne stepping out into the camp wearing a (tastefully arranged) sheet and looking exactly as hungover as she feels. What...is...happen. ]

[rightjollyoldelf]

[North had a problem.

Normally he would have immediately jumped out into the camp and poked his nose into every last corner. Especially the dinosaurs.

But with the loss of his powers of his guardian, North now felt every last one of his years. But of course he refused to allow that to stop him.

North has not realized yet that with the loss of his powers he has also lost his invisibility. He is now visible to everyone.

And that is anyone in the camp might see a huge white bearded man in red sloly making his way across the camp with the aid of a sword in each hand. With each step he stabs a blade into the ground to support his weight. His progress is slow and pained by all of the aches in his body.]

[delincuente]

[Off to one corner of the camp, a bit away from the campfires and trucks, Alex is crouched down in her usual pajamas, doing what looks suspiciously like talking angrily to a plant. To the outsider this probably looks like some concerning behavior, and not at all like a wizard figuring out that not even her hand magic works here.

Which is, of course, exactly what it is. Having left her wand on her dresser, Alex had hoped that at least something would work here, trapped out in the middle of a less-than-friendly-looking jungle. But no such luck, at the moment. The plant in front of her is simply refusing to turn purple in spite of her best attempts.]

Well, this is totally excellent.

[solowingpixy]

[Right, this just had 'wonderful' written all over it. That deadpan expression on his face just shows the excitement he has to be here. He just LOVES waking up in places that aren't his room. And he doesn't have his trusty crutch for his leg. Wonderful.

Of course, he'll be looking over the guns there. At least wherever this was, it had the courtesy to arm them. Even if that was a terrible sign.]

[last_rat_standing]

[Oh look. Guns. Bond quickly arms himself with a few pistols, slinging the strap of a rifle over his shoulder as he glances over the rest of the arms. Quite a large selection, he is impressed.

That being done he sets to work walking around the camp to get a feel for the area and where they've found themselves this time.]

[kid_apocalypse]

[Thanks to a school field trip, Evan was not unfamiliar with ending up in a jungle, with lots of guns at his disposal. Knowing how the castle is, he's selected a handgun and a rifle, and is currently checking over his equipment, to make sure everything's working the way it should.]

This place...it kinda reminds me of this place in the South Pole, though there's a lot more civilzation here.

[not_nikkiheat]

[Kate was already freaked out, and having a hard time breathing. This could not be happening again. Kate wandered around, watching the dinosaurs in astonishment.

Something had to go wrong eventually. That was how Paradisa worked.

So as soon as she found the guns, she decided to stock up. She'd run out of ammo on the Event Horizon, and she didn't want that to happen again when things went pear-shaped.

She grabbed several guns for herself, then got some for Castle as well. Her next mission would be to find him and make sure he was safe.]

[chenwho]

[Terry Sheridan was one confused Scotsman.

A minute ago, he was in the middle of the Cradle of Life in... he can't actually remember where, staring down Lara Croft, and the next...?

He has no idea. He remembers getting shot, though.

So, now, he's just standing. Staring at his surroundings, getting over the shock of waking up somewhere new.]

This is not what I had in mind for my afterlife...

Bloody hell...

[deltacain]

[Something's wrong...

The second Jason wakes up, he knows something is wrong. He can't hear David. And that's concerning.

He's currently stalking to the weapons cache and gathering what he might need, sneaking a handgun into the waistband of his pants at the back and selecting a decent-looking rifle.

If there were weapons, Delta wasn't going to ignore them...

They were going to silence David? So be it. He only held Bourne back anyway.]

Re: The Camp

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss, just like everyone else with any damned sense, had loaded up on weaponry as soon as she awoke and found herself without her arrow. A gun holstered to her hip, and one of the machine guns and ammo to spare. She also made sure to grab a knife as well.]

[Never, ever get forced into one of the Castle's 'games' without being well-armed. Now the grey-eyed girl was stalking around the place, making sure she knew where all her people were -- and how to get out of here quickly.]

Re: The Camp

[lord_wizard]

[It never gets less disorienting, waking up in strange places. Felix's first priority, however, is not inspecting anything, but finding his brother. He can't feel the binding by forms and can't be sure he's even here. He's doing his best, but the camp is a bustle of unfamiliar things, and it's making him a little off-kilter.]

Pick a tent

[sparednothing]

[Nothing like camping right? There are enough tents pitched to serve everyone, if they sleep four to a tent]

Lara's Tent. No boys! >8(

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara went back to look around the tent she was in earlier. On the cot she woke up on, there were her old hiking bags she used back in the day when she went mountain climbing with Roth and the others... Strange that she has this in here. Everything looks like she packed them herself. And even her personal belongings are in here]

This is so strange...

[Lara shook her head. But still wearing her old clothes, she thought she might as well change to new ones...]

[shining_like_dew]

[Hyzenthlay is darting into the first tent she sees, terrified, running entirely on an instinct to hide. She's still ungainly and awkward as a human, not even checking to see if the tent is inhabited before she curls up on the floor and hugs herself, breathing fast and hard.]

[To someone who finds dogs terrifying, dinosaurs are the things of nightmare fuel. Herbivore or not, Hyzenthlay's rabbit instincts are on overdrive.]

[last_rat_standing]

[Bond chooses a tent near the edge of the perimeter. He might not sleep but at the very least he'll hear anything that approaches. If anything's going to go down he's going to be prepared. The castle's not going to fuck with him this time... if he can help it.]

Carolina's tent! (No people allowed!!!!!)

[youfallback]

[Carolina's quick to stash her things in a tent that's a bit off the beaten path, if such a thing is possible. In the Dead Zone, she'd gotten some sleep while clutching Jack's panda, but out here without it, she doubted any such rest would be achieved.

Still, she can count the numbers of people and the numbers of tents and come up real quickly with the idea that she's going to have to share, no ifs and or buts about it.

But if she could somehow avoid sharing the tent with anyone, she would. Maybe she could scare them off with her psychotic loner bitch vibe that she had been working on in her time away from the Castle.]

[encryptedlock]

[That moment when York's torn between grabbing all the guns and making a break for it immediately and actually playing along for once just to watch everyone else with the dinosaurs. He's decided to compromise by stashing a bunch of guns in a tent which is now his, and carries around one regular gun and one tranquilizer.]

I just want to say that capturing dinosaurs is bullshit and there's no way I'm letting these things into a city, even if it is Los Angeles.

So! Who wants to room with me? I don't bite, I swear.

The dinosaurs

[sparednothing]

[The dinosaurs in cages seem to be all herbivores, some are even in enormous truck-cages. Looks like someone is planning on shipping these dinosaurs out]

[i_got_this]

[You know who's not happy? This girl. And she's venting her frustrations by firing at one of the dinosaurs with numerous darts, because these things remind her too much of the Covenant aliens, because she was already pretty pent up about stuff, and of course she has the Worst Loss Ever if things were to actually go south.]

[No pun intended.]

[Dare you approach the scowling, trigger-happy blond?]

ROLAND TEMBO

[collectmyfee]

[Later in the day, a man wanders into camp. This is Roland Tembo and he's carrying with him a baby animal. Closer inspection will show it's a baby T-Rex, it's unconscious, however]

Better prepare a cage for this, give Ludlow his damn star attraction to stop him whining.

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara watches from a distance, and she sees a baby Tyrannosaurus with the man. Her earlier assumption was correct, it seems. They're here to capture dinosaurs...]
