Jack heard the voices of Marcus and Maya as they told him not to move and to stay calm. Maya's voice was calming and he found himself laying his head back down, everything spinning. He closed his eyes and felt her reassuring hand rest gently on his shoulder. Next thing he knew he was back in the darkness.
Ben and Shay watched carefully, ready to help as Matt swung free from his seat. As soon as Matt had caught his breath and was balanced they rushed outside of the plane. Shay pointed towards the tree she had been at before where the others stood and began moving with Ben and Matt to join them. Matt and Ben followed Shay's pace as she limped as quickly as she could away from the plane. When they reached the other three Shay looked behind her at the plane, now billowing plenty of smoke. A loud crack resounded from the back of the plane and a burst of flame erupted upwards settling to lap at the side of the structure. Moments after the plane finally exploded. The blast was loud and smoke pummeled upwards and around the plane. Shay and Ben, no doubt with the others, turned their heads away as the explosion took place, protecting themselves. Their spot by the tree was far enough to protect them, as the closest debris fell just a few feet near them, the rest scattering across the beach or falling from the sky after being missiled upwards. The result left the plane pretty much demolished, a soft fire now burning around what was left of the plane, leaving a lot of scorched parts and possible bodies, all one big indistinguishable charred mess. If there were any survivors left in the plane, they were gone. It was just the 6 of them.
Ben reached out a hand against the tree and reached his hand up to his head, touching his ear. There was a loud ringing sound reverberating in his ear drum, distorting any voices he heard around him in to strange muffled sounds. He grimaced and leaned forward, feeling slightly nauseous. He shook his head slightly then straightened back up, looking at the others around him. Slowly his hearing came back as he heard everyone clearly now and how they reacted to what just happened. It was a terrifying yet sobering moment that reminded them they were alone. It was clear that they were the only survivors. Ben looked down and placed his hand on his satchel, making sure his bag was still attached to him. He would most certainly write about this. He couldn't imagine them not being saved and saw this as a great opportunity to write a compelling survivors' story.
Ben looked to Maya, the woman he saw when he fist had been able to free himself from the plane. She was injured as well but hid her injury well. He stepped closer to her and reached out his hand to her shoulder. "Are you ok miss?" he asked with concern. Now would be a good time to evaluate their injuries before scavenging for any leftover medical supplies that could hopefully be found among the mess left by the plane.
Shay lifted her pant leg to survey her injury for a moment. The bleeding was stopped and it didn't seem any worse than before. She then looked back towards Marcus and Matt. "What do we do now?" she asked out loud to them, unsure what they should do. "Do they know we've landed here?" she looked around and out towards the beach. The island, which she did not know was an island yet, gave her a view of nothing but beach and trees and whatever laid past the forest line. She was aching for adventure in her life and had begun acquiring her desires from her past travels, but she didn't want anything this intense. And yet it was in moments like these that a person's strength and confidence were tested. She looked between Matt and Marcus. "I'm Shay by the way" she said, wanting to get to know the people she was now stuck with for the time being.
Jack was dreaming back to when he and Lacey were talking about their plans in the plane. They had everything laid out, all of the fun excursions and activities they would enjoy on their vacation. Jack's mind played Lacey close up, tilting her head back and laughing at something he said before looking back to him with a soft smile and reaching out to him to brush some hair away from his face. Jack woke up again. He laid on his stomach, his face pressed in to the sand beneath him. He grimaced and turned himself over to lay on his back, wincing softly from the pain his movement brought. He saw the smoke in the sky and could smell the fire burning. Jack forced himself up and in to a sitting position. He looked forward at the wreckage and exhaled deeply. There was nothing left.
Jack looked around him and saw Marcus and Maya closest to him. Maya must have been the voice of the woman he had heard earlier. He looked around at the others around him then set his eyes back to Maya. "It's just us, isn't it?" he asked, more as a confirmation for himself rather than a question for her to answer. Lacey was gone. He closed his eyes for a moment, a throbbing sensation developing at his temples. He raised his hand to his head then brushed back some stray hairs from his face. "Someone's got to have seen us." He wondered how long it would take for someone to come and rescue them...if they ever came. Jack heard Shay introduce herself across the way and he decided to join. They would need to get to know each other enough to work out a plan for survival until someone would come for them. "I'm Jack" he said, loud enough for the group to hear.
Ben looked to Jack, the once still man now moving and talking. "Ben" he reciprocated. He looked to the others to hear their names, after which he said "We should scout the wreckage for supplies, don't you think?" His eyes fell on Marcus for approval. He didn't know his background but Marcus had a presence of leadership that naturally made Ben turn to him for guidance.

Jason opened the door and stood surprised, looking to Nasreen who was standing in front of him from the outside. He looked at her curiously, eyes gazing up and down her body as he quietly calculated what she might be doing at the door of Hermes. She didn't have any product for sale and she certainly didn't look like a Jehovah's Witness. But he did see something he liked. Besides being obviously attractive he was more impressed with her physical prowess. She was clearly a woman who took care of herself and pounded out some weights. She was carrying a few bags, which didn't look light, and the muscles in her arms were flexing and moving, the definition clear. Perhaps she was a late invite, like him? He stepped backwards to let her in. Booker would intervene as he would be able to tell if she was supposed to be here or not.
He figured he might as well say something now, and break the silence that lingered with his stare. "Are you here to drop off a package or to stay for the party?" He stayed close by her at the entrance, in case she answered wrong as he wouldn't hesitate to take care of her for Booker and get her out of here. If she was here for Thieves Inc she would have the right answer that would make her reason for being here very clear. If she was here for their mission he thought about inviting her to join him on his jog to survey the museum. The other women weren't as fit and she would be a better pair by his muscular side, blending in as simply fitness freaks jogging along the street. They could cover more ground together than just him and be back quicker for Booker to discuss their next step. He couldn't imagine Milo and Niesha would take much longer either.

"SQUAD 3, FORM UP HERE!!!", Scott bellowed as he finished snapping his coat as the trucks pulled up and the crews hopped out.. Sean heard an unfamiliar voice shouting orders towards his men shortly after they got out of their truck. Sean turned his head towards Scott and realized this must be the new Squad Lt. Chief had briefed them about a week earlier. It was a strange and unconventional way for him to meet his team but it would be a good test to see what kind of Lt. Scott really was. Sean wasted no time in jogging over to him.
Before Alex could move with her team Scott came to her in a quick introduction. Chief had briefed everyone on the new Lt. and his arrival and she shook his hand quickly in greeting. Alex quickly began to work with the new Lieutenant. "Charlie!" She called to one of her firemen at the truck. "Pull the truck closer and lay the ladder out towards the balcony for Lt. McKenna. Follow his direction, we're going in!" She gave Scott a brief thumbs up to ensure he would have her teams support. Her team listened to her and she didn't see why they wouldn't listen to him as well, especially during moments like these when team work was critical and egos should be left at the window. The only one Alex was concerned about was Elise. Elise wasn't insubordinate but she was sharp and independent and didn't like to take direction from anyone besides Alex, who gave her a lot of free reign. She was one of her best firemen and she knew she didn't need a tight leash on her. Try and maneuver Elise too much and she fights back. Hopefully Scott wouldn't experience that today.
Sean had gathered the supplies Scott listed and watched as Charlie maneuvered the truck close to the building then began extending the giant ladder upwards. Charlie was able to finish the ladder right under the balcony, giving Sean enough room to work and give some support for the mom. He needed to calm her down as she was beginning to shout frantically, her grip continuing to slip. Sean raced past Gabrielle as he went towards the ladder and quickly diverted to the side to rush up to her, pausing to clap his hand on her shoulder. "Help calm the mom down. You're the best at that." he said with sincerity. She had a skilled and honest way of helping even the most frightened victim to calm down and feel reassured that the team was going to do their job and get them to safety. Sean gave her a smile before running back to the truck and jumping up on the ladder and beginning to scale upwards towards the boy.
Alex was in the building with her team, having scaled the flights of stairs up to the third floor. They would ensure no one was left behind before allowing the hose to work it's magic. Alex turned to Astrid, who seemed the most uneasy and rightfully so being the most inexperienced. Alex nodded to her "You're doing great. Just stay focused, control your breathing, and keeping moving." She was new but she had great training and was skilled; she simply lacked confidence especially in live action. Alex then turned and broke away from her team. If everyone came it would include Elise and Astrid at her side and the rest on the other side of the building. One of the firemen radioed in to the Chief "North side cleared Chief." This left Alex's side to be finished cleared before the Chief could make his next move. Alex's side of the building was covered more in flames, the smoke billowing across the halls, the heat pulsating around them. Alex moved towards the last two apartments in the hall. She kicked down one door and crouched through, yelling "Fire Department! Call out!" She looked thoroughly and desperately for anyone in need of help. Once the Chief reeled them back in there was no going back. "Denney, I need you and your personnel out of there as fast as possible, getting the pumper ready for use" the Chief radioed. Alex heard the Chief on her radio and clicked her radio button to respond. "Copy that Chief, almost done. Give me 5 more minutes." Alex turned to her team "Guys we gotta move! See anything??" If Elise was hot on her heels, she would be their best bet to find anyone before they needed to retract, if there was anyone to find. She had eyes like a hawk and a solid gut instinct that has led them to many successful extractions before.
Sean reached the top of the ladder, hoping to see Scott enter from the back soon. The mom only became more frantic when seeing Sean. Sean raised his hands and tried calming her down, wishing Gabrielle was up here with him. "Ma'am, calm down, We're going to help him, it will be ok. Just listen to us ok?" He placed his hands up to the gate and pressed forward, alleviating the strain that was making the mom lose her grip. The gate wobbled unsteadily in Sean's hands. He grit his teeth, the unsteady feeling causing him to fear the gate would give way any moment now. He couldn't bank on him catching the gate and kid safely without someone getting hurt or possibly killed. Sean looked to the kid. Talking to him would distract them both. "Hey buddy. You're doing great! Look at me. Tell me uh...tell me the best field trip that you ever had in class, huh?" He kept the kid conversing, distracting him while they worked on their next phase for getting the kid free. The chief radioed in to Sean "Is the boy ready for extraction yet? We need to clear the balcony now, were ready to start the hoses" he informed the firefighter. Sean shakily pulled one hand free to hit his radio in response. "Not yet Chief. This gate is about to break and we need to steady it before chopping him free. Scott should be entering the apartment any minute now." This gave a boost of confidence for Sean as when he heard his Chief's voice he felt a surge of energy, a desire to accomplish this for the Chief. He had the most respect for him than anyone else in the house and his desire to get the job done for the Chief was a heavy motivating factor.

Ok, switched my post abit so it didn't come off as quite so Bossy....plus I didnt want to get my ass kicked by a girl :PMy meow's worse then my bite, so dont take me too seriously OCC'ly, I'm just teasing around. looking forward to RPing with you as well.
You don't want to mess with Vicier. :)
But thank you for being cooperative and hey, at least there is talk in OOC. Some rps the OOC is dead!
Be aware on your next post PhatKat to reel it in a bit. You're still pushing too much action in to one post. You're post could have been cut in half to allow everyone to respond and react.
I'm sure we'll all get the hang of it. I have some more calls ready and hopefully a good twist for our characters once we all get to know each other.
Hey QT! I don't even have to read your post to know you're accepted. Your exceptional writing style is allows welcome! I did read your CS though and definitely accepted. :)
