Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 5

(He lets himself be pulled in smiling)
@Ash
Alright.

(They begin walking around)

Wow... This things pretty beat up...

=Looking around the ship=

Hey Cpl. My squad is going to go check this place out and see if we can find anything useful.
=Starts to walk away from the Small base with his squad=

Well, there's your reason not to crash, all the good dishes get broken.

=I laugh half heartedly. I feel like I need to draw my magnums, that there is a threat on board, but I try to ignore it. I adjust the strap on the comm unit, making it fit better=

=I holster my pistol and watch Draco and Ash again=

=As Ash and Draco wondered around exploring, as a crowd swarms around them she spots Snow watching them=
Uh... What is he doing here..? I thought he would of left by now..? Maybe he wants something..?

=She stares back at him, letting go of Draco's hand losing him in the crowd=
Draco..?

=She turns looking for him, unable to see him in the waves of people she turns back again staring at Snow=
Should... Should I follow him..?

=I sigh and sit on a bench just outside the building=

=we continue walking, looking for survivors. i decide to open a comm link back to Ash and Draco, hoping they have a comm link. i need something to do to keep my mind off of Jay=

Ash, Draco, you guys there?

(he looks through the crowd)

Hmm.

(Not seeing her)

Frick. Ash!

=She can't hear Draco's call over the rumbling of the crowd, her mind to focused on over things as she stepped closer to Snow=
I should ask him... He needs to tell me... He needs to explain...

=She reaches him, not knowing what to say she just stared at him=
What are you still doing here..? Why..? Can't you just leave..?

=I look up at Ash, who is staring down at me=

Yes?

=As she looks down to him the memories of the beating are forced back into her mind=
Wha... What are you still doing here...?

=She spots the gun in his holster, her heart begins to race=
Where did he get that!? He shouldn't have it..? Is... Is that why he was watching us..?!

=I sigh=

Well, this chest wound isn't helping. But I asure you as soon as I get well enough, I will leave.

(He continues to look around)
(Just enough of a gap forms letting him see Snow sitting on a bench)
(He sees Ash in front of Snow)
(He tries to push through the crowd)

=She continues to stare at the gun Snow's words almost slip her mind=
What...? Oh...

=She steps back from him her hand twitching for her holster=
Don't! If I pull... He'll pull

=She shakes her head=
Sorry... I have to go...

=She turns around sinking back into the crowd=

=I sigh once more=

Very we...

=But she was gone before I got the chance to finish=
=I stand up and return to the building=

(Another gap opens and he sees they left)

Frick!

(He continues to look bumping against the crowd)
(The people began to go off. The mob growing smaller and smaller)

=i try to comm them again=
Ash, Draco, Snow, you guys there?

=I hear a little buzz in my helmet, I go to put it on.. but decide not to=

=She spots Draco struggling inside the decreasingly small mob, she smiles waiting for him on the other side=
That's where you went... I thought I lost you..

=She crosses her arms waiting for Draco=

(He spots Ash just outside of the crowd)
(He waves and pushes through to her)

@Ash
That was fun.

(He smiles at her)

=She laughs raising an eyebrow=
I thought I lost you.. What on Arcadia were you doing in there anyway?

=She looks back to the bench briefly before smiling up at Draco=

(Laughs)

@Ash
You know. Gettin pushed around.
You want to continue looking around

=She steps closer hugging him, her arms warp around him=
No... I'm fine... Just don't get lost again

=She looks up to him jokingly=
Lets get out of here...

(He squeezes her and places a kiss on her lips)
@Ash
Alright.

(He smiles)
(They begin to wander around again)

=I put on my helmet, latch on my chest armour, retrieve my bag and walk out the front door=

=Some people stared, but I continued to move to the Air strip=

=i receive no response=
Damn. Well, let's keep looking I guess.

=we work our way up towards the top of the ship, going through slanted hallways and malfunctioning doors and sparking wires=
Damn...this place really got beat up.

=i turn to Zeru=
What about it?

Well, then let's head down there. It's a good place as any.

=i shrug and start going the other direction. Scythe grumbles something about "being on a wild goose chase"=
Hey, Scythe or Kurbis or whatever, kindly shut up?

=i grin jokingly=

=i chuckle. Sarcastic=
Completely safe. No way there can be dangerous in there.

Hold on.


=i try to comm Ash and Draco one more time=
Hey Ash, Draco, you guys there?

=I reach the Airlift and turn back, looking into the vast crowd. Feeling like I was on top of the world... but not really=

@dormi let me try

ash draco can u guys hear me?

=Ash and Draco return to their room she kisses him as they enter through the door, a beeping noise comes from Draco's helmet which lied across the room=
Wait..? Do you hear that..?

=I board the horse we rode in on, I engage the thrusters and take off=

(He sighs as he hears the noise)

@Ash
Yeah...

(He walks over to the helmet)
(He puts it on)

Andrea. Replay messages.

*Yes, Dormii has been trying to contact you two for awhile now*

Alright

(He opens comms to Dormii)

@Dormii
Yeah?

=Ash watches Draco talk through his helmet as she closes the door behind her=
Must be the others... Wonder what the want..?

Glad to know you are there.

Several things: 1. Crashed ship, checking it out with Zeru and Scythe. Kinda looks like an Assault Cruiser, like a Covie one. Entirely deserted though, no bodies yet. If you want, we could use some help, but no hurry on that.

2. We kinda need to decide what we are going to do about living here. As in, soon. Like, less than 3 days soon. Or someone or some people die in our group and the rest get kicked off the planet.

3. Any idea as to how to talk to someone you haven't seen in years, forcibly forgot about, then remembered through drug therapy? I found out that one of my old team members is still alive, like from when i first became a Spartan.

@Dormii

Alright to 1 and 2.

3, well. I would just start off with the generic hi.
See where it goes from there.

Is that an alright to helping, or an "I understand the situation" alright? Sorry if I'm being idiotic right now, this place is creepy.

=i look around and ready a magnum, just to be ready=

@Dormii

I understand the situation, Alright.
Ill ask Ash what she thinks. Ill get back to you.

(He cuts the comm and takes off his helmet)

Standing by.

=i look at Zeru=
I'm guessing you heard the part about the decision to stay or not?

=She stares at Draco confused at only hearing half the conversation=
Uh..? Who was it..?

(He looks over to Ash)
@Ash
It was Dormii. Apparently He, Zeru, and Scythe found a crashed ship.
He wants to know if we want to help search it.
That was part one of the news.

(He sighs, walking over to the bed and sitting down)

It seems we have to decide to leave or stay in three days.
If we dont make the decision by then. One of us will be killed and the rest of us will be kicked out.

(He looks up to her)

=She takes a second to comprehend the news=
Wait..? They will kill one of us..? What about Collins..? Can't he help us..?

=She shakes her head, her mind returning to the crashed ship=
What about Dormii..? We should properly help them..

(He shakes his head)
@Ash
I dont know about the whole kill one of us thing.

About the ship. Yeah. We should.

Matt said his leader would kill at least one of us, the one with the highest bounty. That'd be you. The way he said it to me meant that if we don't try to stop him, only you die.

=i put my hand on his shoulder=
Before you say it, I won't let them kill you, not while I'm alive. Just letting you know that, so you can stop trying to raise your bounty.

=i smile jokingly=
Got it?
