HI!

Ayyy. Two character sheets in progress.
Interested! I saw this last night but I was too tired to actually do more than leave a like. I've got a few rough ideas for characters already.


I had some issues with the pictures on my phone, but I do believe they are working correctly.

Kane was utterly quiet while the three 'Headmasters' spoke. He definitely didn't miss the whole 'our current appearances', especially how that those should be the least of their worries. He gave a small nod to the guy who they'd been looking for and had full plans to keep quiet, until Ruth spoke again. It caused that blank face he had put up to crack as he frowned, letting out a soft, nearly non-existent sigh. He managed to get a small smile back onto his face though as he stared at her, just unable to help himself. "Don't forget to breathe, okay?" He muttered to her quietly, reaching over to give her a small pat on the shoulder before growing quiet once again as his gaze returned towards the three Headmasters, stuffing his hands into his pockets with well practiced ease.

If these Headmasters weren't to be the worst of their concerns, it bothered him a small bit at what else they'd have to be dealing with. They still had to check in and he honestly wondered how it could get any worse than what he'd already seen. He expected more people, too. There were only three of them at the moment and that was worrisome-ish. Did they not make it or was this whole thing just that selective? Well, whatever.

As he stepped inside, Kane flinched slightly as he turned around quickly to look back outside.
@Blizz@PokimKyOshi@RainbowFactory

Catching the way the girl flinched at first, Kane felt the smallest twinge of guilt, as if he had personally done something to her to make her do that. But it quickly dawned on him that he really hadn't done anything to cause such a thing, at least he didn't think he had. Mentally shrugging it off he felt a bit of relief upon learning that the other person a guy, wasn't hurt either. Though it was a bit concerning how he had bolted off like that, did the guy never watch a single horror movie? People tend to die when they run off on their own like that! But, this wasn't a horror movie and it sure wasn't scripted. If someone was scared, they were bound to run if they were able and there was a place to run. Having played tag in the woods before, during the day and night respectively, he could understand. It was frightening.

In fact, this whole place was kind of terrifying, the more thought he gave it.

Just a few moments after she suggested that he get down and that they still had somewhere to be, he could only find it in himself to nod his head and make a small noise in agreement. With a quick twist of his body and some careful hand and foot placement, it took Kane a mere few seconds to get down the side of the fallen tree. He dusted his hands off on his pants and quickly caught up with her, the distance relatively short compared to his naturally longer strides.

"I'm Ruth, by the way. It's nice to meet you."

"Kane. Likewise to you." He replied in turn, but otherwise remained quiet as he followed beside her in a strange comfort of having another person near. His attention span seemed to have died out entirely, at least until Ruth slowed her pace and then stopped entirely. His attention had been, well, elsewhere. At his feet, looking at his boots as they walked, how red parts of his hands were from grabbing the rough bark of the massive tree trunk he had to climb over. He probably should have been looking up, it was almost troubling how he fell right back into old habits the moment someone else was nearby. Kane stilled just a few inches behind Ruth as his eyes went wide for several seconds, the rest of his face painfully blank as he stared, desperately trying to comprehend what he was seeing. Dark castle-like structure and three figures- two of completely questionable origin and one that seemed human for the most part. He honestly wouldn't be able to tell until they got closer, his glasses were in his backpack and reaching for them seemed stupid right now. He couldn't even fight the horrendous shiver that ran down his spine the longer he stared, seemingly stuck in place from fight.

But after a few moments longer, Kane clenched his jaw and forced one booted foot out in front of the other. One step turned into two, and two steps turned into three, rigid looking with the motions. He was so stiff it probably looked a bit painful. But he didn't get any farther than that before turning his head just enough to look at Ruth from the corner of his eyes "C-come on. T-the guy that ran off, I think, uh... Is, over there, b-by himself? With them." Kane managed out after he stopped clenching his jaw, his voice shook only slightly, completely betraying the confusion and terror he was feeling at the moment. Because really, that was the only thing that was allowing him to move right now. The fact that he was quite sure the guy that ran off was over there with those strange people. People was a strong word, really. But he was over there and in a sense, alone. It didn't matter if he didn't know the guys name or the fact that he was obviously standing and talking with some less than human people, it was sort of horrible he was over there on his own. More than a little horrible, actually. It was just more than a little horrifying to Kane himself.

"He shouldn't be."

So, with one sharp breath, Kane pulled his gaze away from Ruth and slowly began to walk forward once again. But this time his figure was less rigid and seeming much more natural in his movements and less forced, once again spurred onwards towards potential danger.
Will have a reply up soon. Terribly sorry for the delay!

"RUN WHILE YOU CAN! THIS THING IS NOT OUR FRIEND!"

Unfortunately, much despite the warnings and all the yelling, Kane did not feel deterred in the slightest. Of course the thought of 'stop, turn around, and go back to the water' popped into his mind but it was quickly pushed aside for other more important things. Like, there were two people over there and the fact that they seemed to be okay, from what he could tell. One of the voices was moving away, but as he got closer and the tree blocking the pathway came into better view, a more feminine voice spoke. It was softer and a bit harder to hear, but he sure caught it.

"U-Uhh! Right here!"

Bits of relief flooded Kane, she didn't sound hurt, at the least! This small, simple fact inspired him though. From a simple jog forwards he promptly burst into a full out run directly towards the fallen tree in his way. Years of hiking and playing in the woods had clearly prepared him for moments like this, especially as he got closer and closer to the tree. Once he was within a few feet of the tree he jumped. While it was not an overly impressive jump for someone of his size, it was just enough to get him to a good spot on the tree trunk to easily climb over. His fingers dug into the rough bark and his boots easily caught secure places as well, pushing himself upwards was a small strain but he only made a small grunting sound- far too focused on the task at hand to give anything else much mind.

"Hold on, just gimme a- just a minute!"

One swift movement after the other he continued upwards at a rather rapid pace, taking only a mere few minutes to scale. And most of that was just because of the bark, it dug into his hands and stung where he had been grabbing, so he had to be a bit more careful to not accidentally slip and get any of it stuck in his hands. Having it happen once was definitely enough for him to learn that lesson, digging splinters out from under your nails was by far one of the more gruesome things he could recall ever happening while camping.

"So, uh." Kane started after he finally pulled himself into a sitting position atop the fallen tree, he gazed downwards with a wide eyed gaze. His eyes easily fell upon the girl that he had heard, or at least the person he thought he had heard. He was breathing just a bit heavily, obviously from the running and then the rapid climb. "You... okay? Where'd the other guy go? At least, I think it was a guy?" His voice was laced with some confusion and relief as he stared down at her, not yet having climbed down or anything. Getting down would be the easier part of this whole thing, really. But sitting up here, he really felt like even more of a giant than he already was! She was just so short compared to himself. Not that it was an uncommon thing for him, he towered over many adults and people his own age rarely brought themselves anywhere near his chin.

Eyes wide, Kane gazed out over the water, watching as the boat that had brought him to the island departed. It had been a bit longer than expected, three and a half days rather than the apposed two, but it has been smooth sailing and he had slept nearly the entire time. While he wasn't afraid of swimming or drowning or anything like that, the soft lull of the boat made him rather sea sick. A wave of relief filled him as he looked down at the ground under his boots, a small hum of appreciation escaping him. He felt much more secure on land than on a boat!

"But those instructions sure are a tad bit vague." He muttered softly to himself as he spun on heel, making long strides along the edge of the trees before finding the path after a few long minutes. It really wasn't that hard to find, actually, but his attentions had been elsewhere- on the trees, the water, the soft crunch of earth under his boots. He'd been in forests before, on hiking trips and even camping during his school breaks with friends and their families. And after being cramped into that boat for three hand a half days he was honestly just grateful to be off of the boat with his feet on solid ground, ignoring the fact that these woods kind of gave him an unusual vibe of 'creepy'.

For good measure, Kane quickly went about rolling up the long sleeves of his shirt until they were just above his elbows, made sure his bag was all closed up securely and that the straps were secured correctly, and then made sure the ends of his old, torn up jeans were tucked carefully into his boots. His hair he knew was absolutely hopeless cause, but regardless he dug a hand into one of the pockets of his jacket and pulled out a few black bobby-pins, quickly using them to pin his hair away from his eyes. It worked for the most part but he gave it no more thought as he slowly started his way onto the path.

And what would have been a calm, simple walk suddenly became much more urgent before he even got to his third step. Though it echoed, he heard what sounded like a shout or something of the sort, just a short distance away, followed by the sound of creaking and the sound of crashing trees. Or what he assumed were trees, at the least. Normally you should stay away from things like that, avoid it if possible- but Kane knew he couldn't. Even with just the off-chance that someone else was over there, he couldn't ignore it, because if there was someone over there and they were hurt... he'd feel awful.

With the thoughts of others in mind, Kane pushed forward at a slightly faster pace.

"Hello?! Is anyone over there?" He yelled aloud, his usually quiet voice booming with the enclosure of the trees as he practically began to jog.
