Pine decides to have Abbi wrestle Jayden for her since I guess it is a pretty important weapon for her. Abbi drops Cici's dagger in her panic and lunges toward Jayden. "Hand it over." She hisses, gripping firmly on one end and tugging with all her might.

Cici rushes over and grabs her dagger from the ground and raises an eyebrow as she watches Abbi pull on her bow. "That's a great way to snap it yourself." She shrugs, walking over to stand nearby. She rolls her eyes, watching amused.

Mona focuses on keeping the van from tipping over. She huffs, driving through the trees slowly, trying to keep as quiet as possible, while not going too slow at the same time.

Fabine groans. "I'm done talking to you now."

Liwei focuses his eyes on the sky through the trees. He peers out into the grey. Most of it was uniform in color, but he spotted a darker shaft of smoke meandering up through the trees from some distance away. He pointed towards it. "Try that way

wtf you can indent on here

thought process ok back to rping

Misha sniffs, her amusement dry and cutting into her even as they closed in on the camp. "Sounds like a time for some wise words for the crowd, buddy. Time to put on your leader face and be the big strong hero."

Mona nods and turns the van towards the indicated direction. "Any idea how far away that is?" She asks curiously, still weaving around the many, many trees that were in the forest. Of trees.

Fabine groans. "But that's the worst part of my job!"

<Snipped quote by wallaberry>

Ptelea quickly pulls her hand away from him as he messes with the brace. "No!" She quickly pulls it off and throws it at him. "No! You're going to hurt me again!" She cries out, jumping off the table. She runs over to the door and tries to pull it open. "Let me out! I want to go!"

Admi nodded sharply at the doctor and darted after the girl. "Honey, please don't run! You're going to hurt yourself." She lowered her voice. "What are you afraid of?"

Admi nodded sharply at the doctor and darted after the girl. "Honey, please don't run! You're going to hurt yourself." She lowered her voice. "What are you afraid of?"

Ptelea looks at Admi and begins shaking. "Mean man did this to me." She points to her wrist. "And this." She points to her cheeks. "And this." She points to her ankles. "I don't want to be hurt anymore. I just want to go home!" She cries.

Fabine groans. "But that's the worst part of my job!"

"Slow down," he chided, tapping the dashboard impatiently. "It looks like a few miles." He paused, stroking his chin. "Jeez, did that little girl run all that way?"

Misha snorted. She crossed her arms, face arching into a small smile. "And here I was, thinking you loved people showering you with love and praise. 'Oh, Fabine is so strong and brave!' 'He's just so pretty!' 'I wanna touch his heroic hair!'." She scoffed. "Why doesn't anybody wanna touch my hair?"

Mona blinks, then slows down. "Sorry. And I guess so...She must be used to it. After all this is her home." She shrugs.

"I'm going to shave off my hair now, thanks." Fabine scoffs.

Kianna blinks. "Uh, okay. Just lead the way." She felt as if she wouldn't be able to do well, given her shoulder, but would try regardless.

Jayden lets her take it as she tugs, suddenly letting go so hopefully she'd fall backwards. He wasn't as cruel enough to break or destroy something important to someone, and looked at her.

Admi wraps her arm around the child's shoulders. "Oh, sweetie..." She raised a hand to brush a stray hair from the child's face. "I'm so sorry. We need to clean you up, now, though, or you'll hurt yourself more. Your brother is doing the right thing, now, so you'll both be safe now."

Ptelea sniffles sadly, before nodding a bit. "Okay.." She whispers then looks at Ambrose, then back at Admi. "Safe?" She whimpers before burying her face in Admi's shirt, crying quietly.

Kianna blinks. "Uh, okay. Just lead the way." She felt as if she wouldn't be able to do well, given her shoulder, but would try regardless.

At Sacha's instructions, Aya silently flies to a tree she can see hangs over Brom camp. She lands on a branch close to the tree's trunk and the edges her way along, hiding in the foliage. Whilst her animal was not as unusual as, say a cheetah, she was still sure that somebody catching a glimpse of a hawk might end up with her having an arrow shot at her. She waits for the other two to join her, finding that the branch was relatively strong and well-covered by leaves.

Sacha follows and stops at the base of the tree. She sighs and sets her bow across her back and begins slowly climbing the tree. There weren't a ton of footholds, but she was able to pull herself to a low branch. She sits on it and looks out at the camp, frowning as she can't see anything. Grumbling internally, she climbs a few branches higher..

Liwei rested his forearms on the dashboard, feeling the jolt of the wheels spinning against rocks and debris below. "Can you even imagine what that would be like? They're all just teenagers. They should be in high school, dealing with drama, not.."

With a glance at his hair, Misha nodded solemnly. "Face it, bub: it's time to let somebody else be the pretty one."

Ptelea sniffles sadly, before nodding a bit. "Okay.." She whispers then looks at Ambrose, then back at Admi. "Safe?" She whimpers before burying her face in Admi's shirt, crying quietly.

Admi gave a genuine frown. She wanted the child - both children, really - to trust her, but even with all of her training and ulterior motives, she still had a conscience. It hurt to see this young girl in so much pain. She wrapped her arms around her and lifted her, carrying her back to the doctor. "Of course, sweetie."

"Not out here dealing with some evil group coming to pick them up and whisk them away to some facility where they'll be tested on? Yeah, I ompletely agree..." Mona sighs softly, shaking her head. "Unbelievable how this world works..." She frowns a bit. "Liwei, I'm never going to get to shift now." She realizes.

Fabine laughs and punches her arm. "Even bald, I'll still be the pretty one. And if not, I'll just kill off all those who are."

Ptelea sets her head on Admi's shoulder, sniffling. She then looks at the doctor for a moment. "You have to promise you won't hurt me." She says as assertive as she can manage. She didn't like people who acted like they cared then hurt her. She decided they were the worst people now.

Liwei looked at her for a moment, then gently moved his hand to where hers rest on the steering wheel. He exhaled, then let himself smile sadly. "What will we do? Live like the other 8 billion normal people on this planet?" He glanced into the forest, memorizing the flowing shapes of greys and greens and blues as they moved by. "These kids are something totally special. Totally unique and unheard of." He laughed. "It's like something out of a science fiction movie. But, Mona, the thing is that we..." He looked at her. "We get to do anything we want. We aren't stuck feeling like outsiders. We could live anywhere, be anyone, and no one would ever hunt us down and do this to us. I think.. it might be better the way we are."

Misha drew out a long tsking noise, shaking her head. "See, that's why you gotta be the posterboy. If you don't give anybody else a shot, you gotta-" She flexed her arm. "-bear the burden." She paused for a moment, thinking back to the situation with Destin. "Oh, but you're not doing it all alone, now! You hired a secretary."

Mona glances at their hands before looking ahead again. She sighs heavily. "Haven;t you ever wondered though? Ever wanted to be something you're not? Something you have the potential to be?" She shakes her head. "Sorry,that's just selfish thinking." She begins crying softly. "I just never got a chance to know what I could be Liwei..."

"Secretary?" Fabine asks, blinking. "Who the fuck is my secretary?"

Liwei put his hand on Mona's back. He frowned deeply, digging his teeth into his cheek. "I.. I know... I want to know, too, but.. Damn." He shook his head. "I don't want blood on my hands, M."

"Vera," Misha offered.
