[i][u]Deborah Termellio, Shannon Balore, & "Pink" Vincigarru[/u][/i] [hider=Lament Over the Howling Age][youtube]l9fnyVD7eL4[/youtube][/hider] Oh joy, the glorious [i]Mystery Hunters[/i] are out for their first endeavor. Shannon rolled her eyes, wondering if this was how she thought her day would go. Surrounded by people she would probably come to hate... She sighed, and took off her glasses. A piece of her dress came up and wiped her glasses clean, sliding them back on slowly. Her brown eyes shifted from one part of the group to the other. This group had plenty of people (Those she knew, and those she didn't). The only [i]issue[/i] she saw (Other than the fact she's [i]here[/i]) was the fact they're an enormous group, going out into the jungle, which just so happens to be a [i]very[/i] illegal place. One teacher spots them, and the jig is up. "This whole trip is cute and all," Shannon started off, crossing her arms and putting her weight onto one hip. "But, don't you think that a gigantic group like ours would be noticed by [i]anyone[/i]?" She was being informative this time around, rather than overly critical. Actually, Shannon has a point. Their group was excessively large (In hindsight, next time she wouldn't bring so many people along), and she could count all the staff with powers that are telepathic or extra-sensory in nature. One thought and the whole plan falls apart. "You're right, [i]Silkworm[/i], you should take some people with you, and I'll lead a group there." [i]... Okay, not what I had in mind.[/i] Shannon groaned. She didn't want to separate from Deborah, and be left alone with [i]them[/i]. "... And why me?" She rolled her eyes. "Because. You know your way around the school, and I can [i]trust you[/i] to do it." Deborah gave Shannon a smirk. Shannon smiled back, "Fine. Let's go." The two girls lead their two groups in separate paths. It was simple as it got. Deborah's group were in the jungle in no time, she kept her eyes and ears open, just in case something was going to attack them. Even going through the jungle wasn't as simple as she thought it was. Deborah suddenly stopped, no warning, she just stopped in her progress. She got that funny feeling, the one that told her that something wasn't right. Problem came when she couldn't put her finger on it. What was triggering this? Usually she got something more concrete... but this time it was just pure maliciousness, nothing else. Leading the group had to come second, Deborah largely disconnected herself from everyone else. Focusing on those thoughts whirling around in her head. Her eyes wandered around, desperately looking for [i]something[/i]. Every sound, every smell... It told her [i]nothing[/i]. [i]What the hell is it?[/i] Deborah thought to herself for a split second. Maybe there was something going on here that she wasn't aware of. She just couldn't put her finger on. Still, [i]not knowing what the hell it is [/i]gave her anxiety. "'Ey, you okay there, [i]Captain[/i]?" Pink had coiled her tail around herself, and looked at Deborah. Though, she could only really smell her and hear her... she noticed a rather drastic change in emotions. Her heartbeat had sped up, she could smell the sweat she gave off. Deborah gave Pink an aside glace. "Yeah... It's nothing." [i]I'm not okay. There's something pure[/i] evil [i]going on here and I just don't know it yet. None of us do.[/i] The thoughts rolled through Deborah's mind as she stopped looking around. She put herself at ease... Tried to, at least. The best she could do was keep those thoughts from intruding into her head. Was it stupid to ignore such an incredible feeling? Maybe, maybe it is. But Deborah didn't know what to do at this point other than keep going, and [i]hope[/i] that it's all just benign ([b]But where has [i]hope [/i]gotten you, Deborah[/b]). "Let's... just keep moving." Deborah began pacing towards the shipwreck, going there fast as possible. It was a rather long walk, but hell, it paid off in the end. Deborah's group reached the beach where the famed shipwrecks were. They walked up on the beach, and came in clear view of the three cruise ships. It was obviously evident that the ships were here for decades at least. They were horribly eroded, and falling to pieces (One of them literally were in pieces). One ship was turned on it's side, another was straight up, and the last one had fallen to pieces - That last one had to be the one which Chris crashed. All of them were some distance out into the water. "Looks like this is the place...." Deborah held off on scanning the place... She was still being nagged by that feeling in her head. She just couldn't focus, at least not without Shannon to be the shoulder she cries on. Pink could [i]sense[/i] the ocean. Hear the waves slam up against the beach, and smell the fresh ocean air. It was just something else. She walked up into the sand, and dragged her tail along the sand. Creating a trail to where she stopped. Maybe this shipwreck place might not be so bad after all.  Maybe she might want to head off and explore it. Though she couldn't really see it worth shit, she sensed through the water. She did a sweeping motion with her hands, and she altered the waves accordingly. They seemingly "followed" her motions, giving her a good idea of what the ships looked like. Until she stopped, and the waves didn't move an inch, then returned to normal. She crossed her arms, and wrapped her tail around herself. "This place might be fun, don't ya' think, Ben?" Her bestial eyes peered towards him, she could see him better up close than far away. "Maybe I might stick around for a bit after all... But if you excuse me...." Pink still had the dilemma of the sand to deal with - She also just liked being in the water. Pink quickly ran up to the beach, and jumped into the water. She let the water go under her bikini and wash all this nasty sand away. Pink also felt extremely powerful while in the water... A feeling she hated giving up. It wasn't long before the group Shannon lead showed up too - Though Deborah didn't give her time to even look around. Second Shannon showed up, Deborah was already walking towards her, she pulled her by the wrist and they disappeared into the treeline. Only saying, "We need to talk." Once they were a good distance away from the group, Deborah had pushed Shannon gently against a tree by the shoulders. Looking her square in the eyes, her look was longing. Shannon looked uncomfortable, her eyes had wandered around towards her feet, like she was avoiding eye contact. Of course, Shannon was one-hundred-percent fine with Deborah swinging her around like this. If she wasn't, she sure as hell wouldn't let her do it. "Debs..." Shannon asked, her voice was low. "What's wrong? You're actin-" "T-tha-that's the problem!" Deborah was now alone, with the one person she trusted most on this island. She could spill some [i]secrets[/i] of her own to Shannon. "I sense something is wrong here, something terrible, and it's killing me because I don't know [i]what[/i] the hell it is. I can't help but act strange. It's just... Killing me!" While she spoke, she had shook Shannon... Giving her an empty look before breaking contact. She paced around in a circle for a moment, grabbed on to the side of her head. "Debby..." Shannon didn't know what to say. She'd never seen Deborah get this stressed over [i]anything[/i], and honestly didn't know how to handle it. If Debby's premonitions meant what she thinks it does, they're in trouble. Shannon quickly bounced off the tree, and walked over to Deborah, grabbing her by the hands. "You have to get it together." Shannon started off, "Whatever is wrong here... We [i]will[/i] get to the bottom of it. You must not kill yourself worrying over it." "I... guess you're right." Deborah held onto Shannon tightly. "I know I am," Shannon started off, "C'mon, let's go solve this mystery, my [i]Secret Keeper[/i], then we can get the hell out of here." Deborah didn't hesitate to give Shannon a, long, affectionate peck on the lips. Before they walked back to the school, holding hands side by side... Until they came within sight of the group, that's when Deborah latched off, making Shannon rather hurt. --- [u][i]Valjean Vaseal.[/i][/u] [i]... Thought I smelled filth.[/i] Valjean had already hardened his skin over his hands with tan chitin. He had finally pursued Pink and saw her in a large group... With [i]his[/i] girl. There had to be like ten other guys with her, including his [i]handy[/i] room mate. Valjean was furious right now. She's going on some sort of adventure without him? With a bunch of guys, and that nobody dyke Shannon? Fuck that. Valjean was going to tail them. See what they're up to... Of course, that might not work as well as he planned given Deborah's abilities. But, what if he keeps his distance? Yeah, that'll [i]definitely[/i] work. He lifted up his foot and slammed it into the ground, and sensed the vibrations as they traveled through the ground. He sensed their vibrations and caught their scent. Tracking them would be easy. --- [i][u]Dana Lucille Alcott[/u][/i] Dana had to silently say "Thank you." to Codi for just [i]looking[/i] at her. Dana instantly changed back the moment Codi laid eyes on her. She wouldn't even notice the difference. Dana stopped rocking back and forth... [i]You're a big girl now, you can't just keep shutting off.[/i] She let out a sigh, and tried to compose herself, she has a question to answer, after all. She tried to seem adjusted as she could. "Me and Asae went looking for Matt, we got attacked, and, and.... " The incident flashed before her eyes. The bear attacking them, and the injury she sustained... with the phantom pain still looming - Even after she had healed it. It absolutely reversed everything that she was trying to accomplish. She absolutely panicked, holding back a scream. "Please God, just get Henry! I [i]need[/i] him!"
