Reina shivered slightly as she set about gathering the dry and semi-dry sticks that littered the ruins she and her group took shelter in to get out of the storm outside before dropping them near the others.
"I got kindling so we can get a fire started to warm us up!" Reina says cheerfully to the others before wincing at a crack of thunder overhead.
"I just hope this storm doesn't last to long" Reina mutters lowly as she really didn't like storms before wincing again at the flash of lightning that lit up the sky.

Naomi sat in the old temple wondering if such structures were common here; back home they had old castles and manors but nothing like this place. Then Reina Black came in with some sticks for a fire which would in actuality provide more light than heat in their present space but that too was a good thing.

Fishing around in her pockets Naomi retrieved her lighter and out of habit checked the lid of her pinchhitter so she didn’t suffer spillage. Then she pulled out a bic in a handmade My little pony lighter cover that served no other purpose that a giggle.

I have a lighter, all we need is a nail file or knife to make shavings; everybody turn your pockets for lint I hear it's good to add lint to make it hit quickly.

Oh and everyone move closer together we need to share body heat..”its for survival”

The last bit added to a guy who leers at her suggestion

[GingerBoi123]

Arin had his red and black flannel shirt pulled up over his head a little to protect his hair from the rain. As usual, the fairly estranged young man was trailing at the back of the group. It wasn't until they had dived into the strange old ruins that Arin finally but his shirt back in place. He did like the group. It wasn't as if he wasn't talking much because he didn't like them. It was more the fact that he just didn't talk much at all. Words meant so much less to Arin compared to gestures, expressions, and actions.

He noticed that the fairly peppy girl, Reina, manage to procure some kindling for the group, which would've been a much needed necessity. Another girl spoke up, who seemed to take charge of the situation. Ah yes, Naomi. An accomplished student from England, if Arin recalled correctly. He often wondered what England was like. They had... some rather delectable looking food. When she asked someone if they had a knife, Arin searched his back pocket after he sat down. He showed a sliding OTF knife that he often kept in his back pocket, and offered it to Naomi. It had a red handle and fairly simplistic. Nothing like the graphically superior lighter Naomi had.

"Like this?" Arin asked, in his fairly monotone voice. Naomi nodded, and suggested that Arin should get started on making some shavings. After all, it was his knife. Arin grabbed a stick that Reina had gathered and started chipping away, rhythmically scraping against the wood.

Lance leaned up against what remained of one of the temples walls, quietly keeping to himself. A fortunate situation they had found themselves in, even if some were still uncomfortable as he watches Reina's reaction to the storm. Lance looked up as he peers through a small gap in the ceiling, as a rain drop chances its way through it.

Lance shakes his head blinking as he refocuses. He returns to observing the group following on from his small day dream.
..."move closer together we need to share body heat"
Wait what?! The thought spiralled in his mind before hearing the conclusion.
"its for survival" Well that did make more sense. Reluctantly Lance let out a sigh
"Fine." he says before walking closer to the group. "Doesn't look like this'll let up anytime soon." Merely mimicking the others he turned out his pocket extending its contents out in his open palm. Bits and pieces mainly just small ripped scraps of paper and a few coins.

[Azure Flame]

Lucas kept quiet as he helped set up a fire pit, like his father had taught him when they went camping. He blushed slightly at the mention of huddling up, his eyes wandering over to the girls, who were all quite attractive. He looked away, hoping they hadn't seen his blush, or him staring at them as he resumed setting up the fire pit.

[Azure Sea]

Reina only blinked before she tilted her head.
"I don't have pockets" Reina says softly with a slight pout as it was true she very rarely wore pants, shorts that had pockets or coats that was long enough to have them before blushing very brightly at Naomi's suggestion mostly due to her clothing being less then the others and she really didn't want to risk one of the guys getting to personal.
"I..i'll go look for more wood for the fire" Reina says as she turns around and goes back to looking for anything that could be used to keep the fire going once it was lit.

[RumikoOhara]

@GingerBoi123

Thanks Arin said Naomi then she heard Reina say she was heading out for more fuel

I'll Help she offered and passed her lighter to Arin

She follows the other girl out into the storm looking on the side of walls, rocks, and trees in the hope that wood found there would have been shielded from the rain

[Raptra]

Tawny was annoyed. This was not supposed to happen. They had plans to be elsewhere and the unpredicted occurrence had forced her and her friends to spend who knows how long at this strange place. Another loud clap of thunder had her groaning audibly. It seemed like she grew a little more aggravated every time that happened, considering her frustration at their current situation. Wet and irritable, she trudged though the sheltered area of the ruins picking up fuel for the fire.

An unexpected sound suddenly caught her attention. Was that meowing she was hearing? Sure enough, she turned to see a black cat approaching, its emerald gaze fixed on her. The sight of the animal put her in a slightly better mood, and she knelt down to stoke its wet fur as it stopped at her feet.

"I guess you didn't plan on being here either."

With all the material in hand, she made her way back to the others, only to find that the little feline had decided to follow her closely. Seeing no harm in having it tag along, she continued on until she caught sight of her friends. The boys were working on the fire, while the other two girls were nowhere to be seen. They were probably out gathering as well.

"Gentlemen," she addressed them, throwing what she picked up into the pile to be shaved. She then proceeded to aid them in their setup, taking a glance at her cat companion nearby. "Yeah, don't ask. It likes me for some reason."

[Azure Flame]

"Not to sound rude or anything, but please keep it away from me." Lucas said, backing away a little, stacking some of the sticks they had in a teepee formation, putting the shavings and kindling underneath. "I'm very allergic to cats."

[GingerBoi123]

Arin nodded at Naomi who departed with Reina. He stared at the lighter for a few seconds before he turned to Lance and chucked the lighter to him, without warning. Arin didn't know how to use a lighter, so it seemed best if someone else held onto it. He then turned back and continued with the wood shaving, a small pile beginning to form underneath him.

"Sounds like you should watch out for the cat then. A cat will go where a cat would please, it's not likely to understand your allergy. Plus, you can't always rely on others to babysit it." Lance says with a half-assed shrug. 'No offense' would of probably been the correct way to finish both those sentences, but Lance wasn't exactly renowned for being overly polite. Lance watches as the formation of the makeshift fire are put together, almost missing the tossed lighter, fumbling it with one hand before swiping his grip around it with the other. "Non-smoker then I assume?" It wasn't really a question that warranted an answer, why else would it be passed to him.

Lance knelt down by what had been put together so far. "Pretty simple really we just... light." Lance flicks the lighter on his hand positioned by the kindling. "Then we just softly..." Lance blows against the small embers trying to encourage them to catch and grow. A light puff of smoke, greeted by a small smile as he softly sits back almost triumphantly. "Just don't suffocate it."

@GingerBoi123@Azure Flame (I guess also a little toward) @Raptra

[Azure Flame]

"That's the plan." Lucas said, letting the kindling catch on the wood before carefully positioning more wood onto the fire, getting it a good size so it can warm them up and dry them off.

[RumikoOhara]

Naomi gathered together several sticks that were shielded by those on the surface and reasonably dry and not too large thinking they would be difficult get burning; this she based on her brief experience at summer camp.

Reina we need to hurry back before we get so drenched the fire won't help she called out to the other girl worried as the weather displayed an increase in volume.

The ground around them was illuminated briefly by a flash of lighting so close that it was less than a second before with a crack and boom that both girls could feel shake them to the bones

[Raptra]

"Oh well," Tawny began in response to Lance and Lucas' exchange about the feline. "I guess this time, it's deciding to stick to me. It looks like Lucas and I shall be keeping away from each other for the time being."

With the cat still at her feet, she made her way over to the other side of the setup away from the allergic blond while Lance lit the fuel. She settled down near the fire, helping to toss in more of the drier pieces of wood to keep it going. While doing so, she took the time to think. Perhaps the situation was not all bad. The place seemed interesting, and there was no one that she would rather be caught in a storm with than her friends who were currently with her. In addition, she now had a little black fur-ball with her that could help keep her warm.

Surely they could come up with something to do while they waited the storm out. They were a bunch of teenagers after all. She glanced outside as the storm worsened, hoping that the other two girls would make it back soon.

@Azure Flame @akirashadow

[Azure Sea]

Reina nearly dropped what she had in her arms at the large crack of thunder before nodding at Naomi.
"right let's get back tot eh others then Naomi" Reina says as she takes off back towards the temple ruins in a half walk half jog.

[RumikoOhara]

Naomi followed Reina Back inside and couldn't help but giggle when another stroke of lightning made the sky shiver with its explosive appearance. She couldn't explain it but thunderstorms always made her feel alive, she would have danced naked in them if people wouldn't have thought her crazy but then she had that rep without the skyclad display just because she loved to make and model her own costumes for Cosplay.

So it was with a smile she deposited her load of wood on the small pile they had already accumulated then looked over the others she was trapped with till the storm let up.

[Azure Flame]

"Someone's happy." Lucas said, noticing Naomi's smile as she returned. "Something good happen?"

[GingerBoi123]

Arin nodded at Lucas to confirm his assumption, before finally whittling down the remaining piece of wood in his hand. Arin slid the knife down into it's compartment and slipped it back into his pocket before shoving the pile of wood shavings he had made towards the rest of the spare wood, putting it side by side with the rest of it.

It was about then that the two other girls had returned, one of which seemed incredibly content with the current situation. It seemed this storm was going to get worse before it got any better. Arin shrugged and proceeded to lie on the cold, hard ground, looking up to see the ornate carvings of what's left of the ruin's ceiling. He pointed at them and began to trace the patterns and pictures in the air, just to pass the time.

[RumikoOhara]

@Azure Flame@GingerBoi123
Her smile is friendly as she looks into Lucas's eyes

"Don't know why but I always get excited about thunderstorms. The flashes of light, the explosion of sound just takes my breath away; my mom drug me in more than once back home on the Isle of Wight. She was afraid of them but me; I suppose I take after my dad who was in the military." she said with an excited giggle her amber eyes practically glowing in the dark.

[Azure Flame]

"I've always found the rain peaceful and the lightning kinda exciting, breaking up the peacefulness every now and then." Lucas said, looking out as another bolt flashed. "Most people are either scared, or find the occasional boom annoying, good to know someone else likes it."
