THE LONG GRASS

[sparednothing]

[YOU CHOSE TO RUN INTO THE LONG GRASS. The Rex doesn't follow you guys, but you are in for worse trouble. The grass is very tall, coming up to the average human height's waist. All too suddenly, strange, screeching calls can be heard, the grass parting as very fast things start to give chase. The raptors have finally made an appearance. Time to run]

THE CHASE

[sparednothing]

[They're almost impossible to see, the grass is taller than them, and they're GOOD hunters. They're attacking from the sides, mostly, some even might be trying to herd unfortunate souls to their packmates]

[i_demand_euphoria]

[Maybe the tall grass is up to a normal person's waist, but Calvin is six years old, and on top of that, not a very tall six year old. When he runs into the grass you literally can't see him anymore.

Oh shoot. This probably isn't good. Calvin might be a little worried now. Better late than never, I guess.]

[sparednothing]

[Gosh there better be some adults looking out for you, young man, because there's a raptor stalking you]

[last_rat_standing]

[Tall grass. Great. JUST great. Bond keeps the rifle slung over his back and draws two pistols as he runs, shooting at any dinosaur that comes his way.

Realizing they're trying to herd him he stops dead, skidding to a stop and crouching in the grass. He's not going to play by your rules. Come and find him you bastards.]

[sparednothing]

[Okay, bro, they can do that. One even has the gall to start moving towards him, directly in his line of sight]

[silent_guardian]

[You know what doesn't mix? A tiny guardian carrying a bunny into the long grass... somehow this seems like a colossally BAD idea.]

[rightjollyoldelf]

[And here comes North charging right into the grass after them. Good thing he was tall enough to see over it, right?]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen got herded towards the long grass when the chaos broke out. He doesn't get far until he spots the movement in the grass, and the oh so familiar sound]

[Shit shit shit. Of course they'd be on this island]

Velociraptors! Watch out!

[He's drawing his own sword as he runs, and trying to keep an eye out for any stragglers or people in trouble as he moves]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara's survival instincts kicked in as she runs further into the long grass. There was utter chaos, but she focused on her survival]

Just keep moving, Lara.

[She heard rusting around her. That always doesn't bode well. She grabbed her assault rifle and readied herself. Looks like she's going to have to fight]

[lightbranded]

[Will doesn't have time to look to see where everyone is going. He is carried along in the chaos and the rush of the crowd, until he finds himself in the tall grass. He stops then, reaching out with his mind until he remembers that that will do nothing right now.

What should he do? He didn't know. Right no he was more lost than he had ever been before. And he was beginning to be afraid. To fear.

An Old One did not fear, for there was nothing that could truly harm them. But what was he right now if not human?]

[delincuente]

[Alex is starting to feel very glad that, despite her complete lack of knowledge about how to use it, she still has the pistol she picked up back at camp. She tries to keep as quiet as possible, holding her chattering teeth steady and pulling up the muddied bottom of one sweatpant leg to keep from tripping.

So far she hasn't seen any parting grass near her. No screeches. No-]

Crap!

[A blade of tall grass brushes the back of her arm, and in surprise she jumps, losing her grip on the gun, and hisses out a couple of curses.

So much for stealth.]

[i_got_this]

[Fuck this shit, South's diving into the grass and running as fast as she can. She's got no useable weapon, she's sure as hell not staying to attempt punching anything in their stupid reptilian faces, and she's not risking her skin attempting to save anyone else.]

Re: THE CHASE

[the_effect_she_has]

[Out of the frying pan ... into the fire...]

[She knew something was wrong the moment she entered the grass, running, and no birds came flying out. Birds always liked the long grass, as did the smaller animals. But if nothing was leaving -- that meant something bigger was still there.]

[So she stopped, and crouched low, closing her eyes and listened to the grass. Then she started to move, quiet as one of the hunters themselves, stalking past them as they stalked her.]

[wolfskin]

[ The reappearance of the T-Rex destroyed what semblance of organization Robb had gathered, bringing forth more chaos like it had the night before.

Find Arya. Find Henry.

The long grass had been his intended destination to begin with, so the long grass he ran looking behind briefly for those who wished to accompany him. Two men and the Targaryen. Did they follow? Did the giant lizard get them? Something in him twists uncomfortably and he thinks of going back.

At least until the screeching calls cause him to stop and draw his sword. ]

Re: THE CHASE

[compromisedarrow]

[Clint is slowly moving through the tall grass, stopping his run as he hears the screeching.

He's smart enough to try and not make too much noise, but he's pretty sure his luck is due to run out. His bow is out, an arrow notched, just in case. Who wants to stick close by?]

NOW THAT POWERS ARE BACK

[silent_guardian]

[YES! Sandy doesn't know what did but SOMETHING brought his powers back and he is ECSTATIC!

Anyone who happens to believe in the Sandman (or is just a kid) will see a golden streak FLY out of the communications building and do a big loop-de-loop in the sky. That being done he flies closer to the ground, looking over all of those nasty raptors. He cracks his knuckles as a golden sand cloud swirls and forms beneath his feet. With a sweep of his hand it changes, growing four long legs and a loooooong sweeping neck. It's not long before there is a gigantic golden bracheosaorus standing outside the building. It sets to work sweeping its long neck and smashing those raptors out of the way.

Sandy, himself, sits astride the dinosaur with a very pleased look on his face. After a moment he'll do a backwards leap off of it and land on the ground. Two long golden sand whips form in his hands. Alright, dinos. Who wants a taste of the Sandman?]

[greatesthitman]

[OH powers are back? That makes Reborn's life easier then as when he feels that come back he slips out of the building and back out to hunt the hunters.

Which is a little strange when one realizes he's lacking his pistol out but he's not out to kill. Which is probably obvious when he's trying to sneak up on a patch of grass that's rustling right now, crouched down in the grass with his hat over his eyes.]

[both_neither]

[Gren isn't stopping to find out who their new friends are. He'll curse his luck over choosing this route later, for now it's time to stay alive. The raptors might have a pack, but he's got a comrade and a pair of assault rifles between them. Bring it.]

Re: THE CHASE

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo could hear screeching, as he made his way through the thick grass, his walking stick in hand. The grass was so dense and tall he had trouble passing through the long strands. What on earth could make such a noise? He had heard rumours of monsters...dinosaurs.

Then, he heard the pattering of clawed feet coming his way. His hobbit senses picked up on the speed at which the creature was coming towards him. He swallowed hard, as he began to run away from the sound, which made his blood freeze.]

[kid_apocalypse]

[Having grown up in a place mostly covered in cornfields, Evan was no stranger to running around in a place with limited visibility, and while he doesn't recognize the Raptors' vocalization, he knows it's not a good thing, so he tucks away his pistol, and runs as fast as he can, occasionally abruptly changing direction to throw off whatever it was that was chasing him.]

THE COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING

[sparednothing]

[At the end of the field of grass is a building. Inside will be the means to call for help, not only that but it might provide a safe haven from the raptors. Maybe these ones haven't learned how to open doors?]

[lara_the_explorer]

[Lara reloads her guns as soon as she got to the edge of the building. Once inside, she aims in front of her and made sure the place is clear]

[lightbranded]

[Will walks in behind Lara warily. He couldn't sense anything. No intentions or darkness. And that was troubling him more than he liked to admit.]

Re: THE COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING

[rightjollyoldelf]

[Were you hoping to move into the building quietly? Sorry, you'll have to wait on some other group. THIS group arrives when a gigantic white bearded man in bright red practically leaps through the open door . You can't forget the two broad swords he is waving about.]

We have made it! Come, Bunny! Sandy! Much to do still!

THE RADIO EQUIPMENT

[hard_talker]

[Mark knows better than to try and fight - he hangs back while the heavy hitters clear the area and distract the raptors. when the herds aren't looking, he'll be quickly and quietly sneaking the other way.

there was a pretty hefty bit of equipment on the roof, and it looked like a transmitter, to him. if it ran on radio, he was pretty sure he could get it running. looking around for anyone in his immediate vicinity, he waved them over, silently.

anyone coming with him?]
