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]

There, that's better.

[Well crap! Church doesn't really have the mobility in his shoulders to reach back there. He'll hold Sunny out ahead of him and hope it doesn't have the strength to nibble through the weak spots in his armor.]

Shit!

[sparednothing]

[It certainly doesn't, but more are leaping onto Church, scrambling onto his armour. Maybe if enough of them get to him they can make him fall to the ground and get inside his weird shell. One hops up onto his shoulder, trying to get to his face]

[signedlefthanded]

[She would know her sisters cries (and speech) anywhere. She's been trying to find her, but as the dinosaurs are starting to take over, it's been harder to get to her.

She kicks at a few of the smaller ones until she gets to Church. Using a stuck she found, she swings it at the raptor as if it were a bat.]

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny would cry out her sister's name if it weren't for her stupid loss. She yelps in surprise, holding onto Church's arms as best as she can]

Seur! [Which clearly means, "Thank you for coming to our rescue, Violet! These dinosaurs are much meaner than they look for something so small."]

[originalcopy]

Get her out of here!

[Church holds Sunny out, trying to kick and shake off the vicious little dinosaurs that are starting to cling to him. He has no idea who he's handing her off too, but right now it doesn't really matter.]

Get the fuck off me you little cockbites!

Hurry up, and don't let them bite you they're poisonous!

[sparednothing]

[A few snap t Violet, but Church seems to be a much more interesting prospect, more and more pile on top of him, trying to bring him down]

[signedlefthanded]

[She has to step back, though her arms come to reach out for her baby sister. Violet grabs onto her and holds her tightly. She heeds both of their advise, not wanting to be a very fine delicacy for them. Violet swings at those around her, trying to help the suited man who saved her sister.]

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny clings to her sister, watching helplessly as the creatures swarm over the man who'd come to her rescue. It's not fair! She'd only wanted to make friends, why did everything in this world have to be so mean!]

Church! [Which simply means, "Church!"]

[originalcopy]

Get the fuck out of here!

[Now that his hands are free he's going to work on trying to pull some of the little bastards off. But it seems like for each one he removes, two more show up.

Oh and a very important afterthought...]

Get help!

[sparednothing]

[It seems the entire pack has converged to take down Church, once again proving that the universe kind of hates him. They can't bite and chew at him, but if they get him down, they are going to try to get into the armour]

[originalcopy]

[Kind of? The universe totally hates him. He's flailing around trying to free himself when he steps on one of them.

Which is bad for Church because it throws him totally off balance. Granted, it's worse for the unfortunate Compy... but Church flails ineffectually for a few seconds as he tries to keep on his feet.

He fails.

Several hundred pounds of armor plated robot crash into the still muddy ground.]

[signedlefthanded]

[This is something she can do if only to keep Sunny safe. She gives him a nod before backing away, still swinging at the hoard of tiny dinos trying to make their way towards the man.]

We'll find someone.

[quadro_dent]

[Tears fly to Sunny's eyes and she buries her face in Violet's shoulder, little hands clutching tightly to her clothes. She can't bear to watch Church covered in the creatures she'd unknowingly lured closer. That could have been her!]

[sparednothing]

[The compys pile onto his prone body, biting and clawing, trying to find a way in through his armour, looking for any weak spots]

[hatesgoodbyes]

I don't fucking think so.

[It's like one of those action movie scenes, there is sunlight glinting off the dark armor and a rifle slung over her shoulder as she looks down at the pile'o'dinos that was her former bf.]

Can't leave you alone for a minute.

[Tex waded into the sea of little lizard bodies, the rifle sweeping down to catch the most of them with the butt of it. She swung it like a baseball bat back and forth to send the little bastards dazed and flying to uncover the blue beneath.]

[sparednothing]

[And run they do. It's fair enough when it's one loser and a bunch of little girls, Tex is something else entirely. Screeching, they run to the undergrowth]

[originalcopy]

[There are certainly weak spots, places between the armor plates where there isn't a lot protecting the electronics beneath.]

Nice of you to show up.

[His voice is muffled by the compies clinging to his face. Church waves a hand around, unable to see with his face covered.]

[hatesgoodbyes]

Yeah well I followed the sound of a little girl screaming, and there you are.

[She reached down to snag his hand and help haul him up, shedding the remaining dinosaurs with swipes of her free hand.]

[originalcopy]

Ha ha, very funny bitch.

[He gets to his feet. A little wobbly at first, but once he's not worrying about mud and squished lizard he's fine.]

Did they get away?

[Church reminds himself that punching Lemony is a thing on his 'to do' list.]

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Tex nodded and gestured off to where the girl held the baby and kept her safe.]

Yeah, after you martyred yourself to the horde of ankle biting lizards they were saved.

[originalcopy]

Pft. I didn't martyr myself... how was I to know the little bastards had a thing for blue?

Besides, I'm a lot less edible than they are.

[hatesgoodbyes]

Church, everything hates you. [duh.]

Yeah, those little bastards should thank me, I probably just saved them the worlds worst indigestion.

[originalcopy]

Oh fuck them... if anything eats me, I hope I give'em the shits.

[He realizes he's been just looking at her after a few seconds and looks away.]

We should, go check on the others... see what other trouble we can get into.

Not here

[quadro_dent]

[Noooooooo no punching her guardian! It's not his fault she has an interest in potentially deadly reptiles!]

Re: Not here

[originalcopy]

[It'll just be a small punch. A little jab. Promise!]
