Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

@Estylwen Heey lovey! As you know I got back yesterday from camp, and I am very sick! Camp was nice, though. I am just catching up on sleep and everything. I need to catch up reading, too, and then I'll be able to write! <3

Let it be known that I am a scout and should know these things. xD
Uh, east! Sorry love.

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

Hearing Annalise speak, Nova looked over her shoulder at the girl. She was a marvel at languages, something she and Kai quickly learned when they took the girl into their home. She had other talents, of course, and one would be a fool to think that the at first glance timid girl wouldn't be useful, or wasn't astute. With a smile, she encouraged her to speak her mind freely. Then, her eyes dipped to the bag she knew Annalise was holding and found it gone. Nova bit her lip, hoping no one else spotted that. Warmth flooded her chest when Cosy said hi to Annalise, yet Nova couldn't help but wonder if this was an appropriate place for the both of them. The scientist shook it off, as there were other priorities, and focussed back on the other two.

Pushing her lips together at Nick's answer, the corners of her mouth lowering while her eyebrows raised. It was a valid argument, and Nova showed so with her expression. The scientist-turned-agent would love the opportunity to bludgeon Von Galloes for what he did to her. To Stella. To the de Villiers kids. To Cosy. A shudder ran down her spine as the creaking of the submarine, which had been haunting her nightmares, played in the back of her mind. And she would be considered one of the lucky ones.

Nodding at the man, his gaze went back to Jay before rising toward the circling creature. It answered, and Nova allowed herself to zoom in on the creature and study it a moment before letting its words seep in. Stable energy? Blinking, Nova grinned. God, she loved science. "Neat. Nick, let me guess, you want to ju-"

As her duo-coloured gaze landed back on Nick, his back was already receding as he ran toward one of the growing holes to the west, for shits and giggles. Her jaw became slack as she watched him dive into it like an Olympian would. Her hands hoisted up her own backpack as Cosy ran after her stepfather and Jay ran toward another hole, leaving her companion screeching above. "Right, because we should totally split up." Behind her words, worry still lingered.

Frowning, Nova noticed the portals were ever-growing, and soon they wouldn't have a chance to choose, nor time to get the map out from her bag. Her eyes flickered between the hole Jay disappeared down to and the one that swallowed up Nick and Cosette. There was no telling if jumping down the same hole, which seemed more like a portal, would lead to the same destination should she choose to follow. "East for us, then." Nova held out her hand toward Annalise. "I don't want to split from you, Anne. Stay with me, okay? Grab a weapon, anything."

Leaning down, Nova grabbed a CDE axe which held a pleasant weight. After one more glance at the one she promised Kai to protect, Nova ran toward the large east hole and jumped in, praying to all the things she didn't believe in that she would be okay. As long as it wasn't underwater, she'd be fine, right?

@Estylwen I will be working hadd at this camp, cooking for 25ish people everyday. I’ll surely enjoy too, haha.

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

@SporkoBug Such an enjoyable post! Man, Nova's gonna have her hands full with two corporeal interpretations of "YOLO" in her team.

Yup, that's the standard for @Estylwen stories right there. p:

@Lexisheeps

Everyday occurrence, right? :)

Edit: I'll try and get my post out as soon as I can, but I doubt it'll be today.

Also important: I'm going on camp for a week, from the 13th until the 21st. I might be able to post in the evening but frankly, I doubt it. I hope the timing goes well but I don't foresee massive problems :)

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

@SporkoBug Feel better soon, rest it up!

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

Slight delay on my end, it's actually gonna be tomorrow. Sorry for the wait!

@Estylwen

No worries love! 🫶🏻

Dark Beyond: Voices of the Past

Nick has a watch. p: He avoided getting a new one until this job popped up.

I'd block you so fast! D< p:

@Lexisheeps
