Oh Goodie Dinosaurs

[written on the evening of the first night of the dinosaur plot.]

Well, this is awesome. I've always wanted to camping with a bunch of giant murder lizards.   Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes for everything to go to hell?

[Filtered to people Church gives a shit about and aren't in the same camp has he is]

First, don't get eaten or stepped on. I don't want to have to pick up the mess.
Second, where are you guys?

Sunny. Dinosaurs bite back.

Hey, so I didn't get around to this during the tour.... but this is one of the bullshit things the castle does to us. It's called a 'world change'.
On the plus side we haven't been turned into anything stupid or useless. At least I'm assuming you haven't.

Delta got stuck in a Tamagotchi.

Expect things to go to shit soon.

Where are you?

((ooc: if Church willingly talks to you with any regularity, it probably means he gives a shit about you. ))

[There's a sigh and a giggle as Sunny reads over this. Oh Church, she's not so foolish to bite dinosaurs! ... mostly... ]

Bite. [Which obviously means "Don't worry, Church, I have experience with reptiles. I'll be careful around the dinosaurs."]

If someone needs to get chewed on, remember you have that Lemony guy as dinosaur bait.

[Not that he thinks she'd use him as bait... but he can hope. Just a little chewed on. A nibble or two.]

SIR, THAT IS INCREDIBLY RUDE OF YOU.

Go smother yourself in a pile of dino droppings.

How is that for rude you stuck up twit.

That is beyond rude and straight into unspeakable.

Good, now stop speaking and find yourself a dinosaur to play 'tag' with.

If you're so protective toward Sunny, I fail to see how being so venomous toward one of your guardians would be a help to her.

You brought her into the Dead Zone to be attacked by giant alien bug creatures... Maybe you got a different definition of 'guardian' than I did?

And, I'm not 'so protective'... I just think you suck... that's all.

[RUDE. That is her companion you're talking about, sir. She frowns at the journal, her voice scolding as she replies.]

Church! [Which clearly means "I would never dream of doing that to Mr. Snicket. He has been nothing but kind to me and my siblings and I would never intentionally put him in harms way."]

What?!

Kidding... I was kidding.... mostly. Kinda'...

[She sighs. Can't you just picture her disapproving look]

Tanner. [Which clearly means, "It's very rude to joke about things like that."]

Tch... [Can you picture him rolling his non-existent eyes]

[He comes from a place where 'good clean fun' included taking pot shots at your neighbors with high caliber weapons.]

[Really, Church? So rude. She just sighs and shakes her head at the journal. If you can make faces and disapproving noises so can she!]

[Thank you for coming down to his level Sunny. He appreciates how difficult it must be for you.]

[Extremely]

[Yeah so that filter is what it is, she was told to be specific but that still gives leeway.]

So fucking timely of you to chime in. I got this covered, they have kids here...fucking kids. [Clearly she is displeased with this idea.]

I guess I'm some camp for a woman named Harding, and there are dinosaurs. How much more shit can this go to?

I know. [He isn't any happier about it]

One of them is a little girl about two years old. Her name is Sunny.
If you could keep an eye out for her, I'd appreciate it. She should have people looking out for her, but I'm not exactly filled with confidence.

I'm with some other group, uh... Tembo I think. Looks like I have most of the Freelancers here with me.

As for how much more bullshit... Well, we're in a jungle full of giant murder lizards... so, probably something to do with them. Or aliens.

A fucking baby? Jesus christ..this place is fucked up.

Yeah I've met a Spartan..or something. Goes by Six, seems ok. [Doesn't care much for Carolina or South but..she isn't about to go into detail.]

Great, I've been hoping for a vacation. Catch some sun, walk through the woods, make species extinct again.

Oh yeah Six. Big, tough, not very fond of me... you two should have a lot in common.

[He chuckles]

The perfect getaway.

She's not that big. [The woman wasn't tiny either but, well Tex was jaded from years in armor.] See I knew I felt that soul mate spark when I talked to her.

Oh yeah, couple days like this and I'll be all set.

[snerk... only Tex would say that about a Spartan. "not that big" Wait until you get be human again. (or for the first time really.)]

Just wait until the running and the screaming start.

Ok, so when I hear that I'll know I'm close to you?

Cute... and I suppose you'll find a rolled up newspaper to smack dinosaurs on the nose.

I think I'd be more direct about it.

I'm in Camp Harding with Nora and a couple women with armor like yours and York's. One of 'em actually gave Nora a fuckin' gun - I'm about to put cash money on her being Tex.

[snerk]

Yeah, that sounds like her.

Jet Black armor?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeep. The other one's pinkish. You know her?

Pinkish? No. The only guy I know with pink armor is Donut.

Okay, maybe it's more purple if I squint? Like a light purple.

South is a lightish purple. But she's here in my camp. There are a couple of people I haven't seen much, or seen in armor yet.

Could be a new Spartan. I don't know all the Spartans and the one's I do know... it's not very well.

Church! Glad to hear from you, I'm on...well it's a cruise ship. So far nothing weird has happened, aside from running out o shrimp at the midnight buffet. Where is everyone? Where are you?

I'm on some bullshit safari to collect dinosaurs.

Running out of shrimp huh, well I'm glad one of us has some real problems to worry about. [snerk]

[a pause]

Tex is here.

Wait, real dinosaurs? Not like Barney or something?

[Well now she felt like she was missing out, and more importantly that he might be in danger. She was about to ask after the fact when he went on.]

Tex.

The Psycho-bitch ex? [His words. not hers]

Honest to god dinosaurs.

[Well, he's glad she's not here for the same reason. She's much safer there.]

Uh yeah, [Gosh, did he put it that way?] look... she can be a little, jealous... possessive...

[She shot him because she thought they replaced her with Sister.]

I need you to do me a favor and try to avoid her.

[He really really doesn't want you to get hurt.]

[She'd find a way to be safe no matter where she was, she just had it really easy on the ship.]

Jealous? I thought you guys were had been for a while.

Avoid her?[Ohh...right. She got it and nodded though he couldn't hear that of course.]

I understand.

Yeah... but it's, I don't know, complicated.

Look, we got assigned a new person on our team... a chick, and Tex shot me because she was pissed that she might have replaced her.

She can be a little... [crazy, violent, crazy-violent] intense...

Edited 2013-06-20 11:55 (UTC)

Not that complicated.

You have feelings for her, she's back. She clearly has feelings for you or she wouldn't react out of jealousy.

So, the best thing I can do right now is just ease back and not get in the way. [She was getting so much better at compartmentalizing this.]

What? The best thing you can do... no. NO fuck this, I'm not having this god damn conversation over the journal!

We'll talk about this when we can do it in person.

Enjoy the cruse.
