I shake my head again smiling. I gesture to him as a whole and point at the storm.

Come on Dormii, am i really being that vague?

Voutan- No, Tar. We are going to do what we Solun do with our dead.

=Theey stop in a small clearing in the forest. Voutan digs a 5 ft. hole in the ground. He takes Immer's body out of the back of the hog, and places her in the hole with many Roses. Voutan says a small prayer. He refills the hole untill it is only 1 ft. deep. He goes into the Burlap sack and takes out a small sapling. He plants it, fills the hole, and plants 16 roses around it, and places Immer's armor at the base of the infant tree, as well as pinning a death scroll to it. He says a few more prayers, as is traditional. they both get back into the Hog and head back to the compound=

Voutan- Now then. I have something i've been working on for about 2 months now, and i feel like now is the time to put it to use. I'll show you when we get back to the base.

Ok, i must be blind at the moment. This has to be really obvious...I am a storm? No, i guessed that already. uh...I am a stormy soul? =i kiss her again= He who is struck by lightning is irresistible? Best I got is I am a storm, or like a storm. If I get it right, do I get a reward?

I nod when he says he is like a storm but i use my hands to ask for more detail. I make a sign like a present and shake my head at it laughing

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 01:40 am

=i laugh with her= Aw, no prize? I guess you'll have to do. =i smile and pull her a little closer=

Let's see. I am like a storm...powerful, dangerous, changing, never subtle, can show up at anytime or unpredictable, um...dark colored, no not that. How about, never subtle and changing?

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I gesture to show he's got it. Well close enough anyway. I push away from him though so that there is still a slight gap between us and shake my head at the closeness

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 01:45 am

Ok, so no prize. Maybe just a kiss instead? Perhaps a romantic candlelit dinner out watching the sunset? I know! A five star feast with an orchestra!

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I give him a sarcastic stare and begin to walk away towards the outside of the base

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 01:50 am

Hey, cmon. It's not that you aren't reward enough. I just don't like silence. I feel a need to fill with something. Sorry if I offended. =i walk next to her=

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(He stands)
(He goes through the halls looking for someone)
(Anyone to talk to)

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I shrug and keep walking, taking his hand as i do. Once outside i point to the storm and then back to us and back to the storm. I then gesture to his armour and shake my head before pointing back at the storm

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(he walks around)
(Like a zombie)
(A puppy without his master)
(He puts on his helmet)

Andrea, play album Sound of Madness.

*Yes*

(He contines traversing the halls)

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 01:58 am

Am I to assume that we are going to that area, and that my armor will make me struck by lightning again?

=i start taking the arm armor off and put them under an overhang. i begin on the rest of it=

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I nod my head at him and wait impatiently for him to remove the rest of it. I motion that we are going to be running

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(He looks up and sees the entrance)
(He sees Dormii and Jay)
(He continues on right past them)
(Unspeaking)
(Letting his world be filled with the sound of madness)

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 02:01 am

=i finish taking my armor off. the helmet lies staring at me, like an accusing witness. i get up and start running. i call back= What? You said we would be running! =i laugh and smile=

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I smile slightly as i give him a little head start before following him. I soon catch up and am running along side him towards the storm.

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(he sees Dormii and Jay fly past him)
(he sighs)
(He exits the building)
(He heads towards the beach again)
(His peaceful area)

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 02:06 am

=we run together. i enjoy the silence, for once. i don't feel the need to make a comment or a joke. i just enjoy the run and the sights and smell of everything around me=

The Wizards Posts : 4971 Join date : 2011-06-07 Age : 28

Vout, are we going back to the compound?

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(He sits in the sand)
(He wraps his arms around his legs once more and begins to rock)

I hurt her.
It is my fault.
She is better off without me.
She will not be in harms way.

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I keep running with him through the jungle, popping up into the tree's occasionally to check our location. After a while i slide to a halt in a clearing and sit down

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 02:14 am

=i sit down next to her, putting my hand on hers= So, what now?

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

They can have happiness.
Why cant we.
Why do I have to screw things up.
Why.

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I draw my hand away and take a nearby stick. I write the word wait on the ground as the first few drops of rain begin.

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(Rain begins to fall on his helmet)
(He lets the rain come down on him)
My punishment.

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 02:19 am

=i wait, fighting the urge to talk=

The Wizards Posts : 4971 Join date : 2011-06-07 Age : 28

=the craft lands back outside the compound=
Vout i'm going for a walk, seeya'.

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

The rain gets heavier and i lie on my back, content. In a few moments we are both soaking

The Wizards Posts : 4926 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 34

=while outside he writes the details of the recent events in a medical journal=

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(the sounds of the rain hitting on his armor)
(The sounds of complete madness going in his head)
Why am I cursed with misery

=Voutan heads into the Spirit and begins to craft a sword, a whip, and several daggers made of the Torwhip material he had been working on. He then heads back to the main building of the compound to find the others=

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 02:26 am

=i shiver in the cold, but i force it away. i slowly go into a trance, focusing on the sound of the rain and Jay breathing. i let my mind go blank, except for the sounds=

The Wizards Posts : 4926 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 34

=sees voutan=

The Wizards Posts : 4971 Join date : 2011-06-07 Age : 28

=sniffs air=
It's gonna rain...

~Tar-Tun? That's a funny name!
-Lapis

The Longterm Poster Posts : 3243 Join date : 2011-06-03

Voutan- A nice little peice of weaponry ive been working on. Be careful not to touch the balde without something to cover your hand with. I'm looking for the others to demonstrate this fine bit of killing ingenuity.

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

(His eyes go blank)
(He thinks of that time)
(The time with Lynn)

So similar.
She came back.
Will Ash?
What will happen?
They should be here by now.
Where are they?

The Wizards Posts : 4926 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 34

let me guess some sort of poison

The Longterm Poster Posts : 3243 Join date : 2011-06-03

=Voutan smiles slightly=
Voutan- Better. C'mon, help me find the others.

The Wizards Posts : 7916 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 30

What did she mean by 'I'm' leaving in the morning
Please. Don't be what I think.

(He thinks)

If she leaves she would be safer.

The Wizards Posts : 4926 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 34

=follows voutan=

let me guess toxin u should be careful always carrie an anitdote

The Longterm Poster Posts : 3243 Join date : 2011-06-03

Voutan (Grimly) Well, thats just it. I havent gotten around to making any kind of antidote yet, so as it sits now, touching this dagger with your bare flesh would make you right properly sodimized.

=He looks at Zeru grimly for a minute. After a nice chunk of awkward silence he laughs=

I almost had you there! I wouldent be stupid enough to develope a poison, especially one as dealy as this, withou some form of antidote. Over the course of its development, i have injected myself with minute amounts of the poision, slowly building up an immunity. Should the situation present itself, i would be unharmed by the poison. However, someone like you would now. In case of an accident, i have placed 5 doses of the antidote in a vial concealed in the handle of each of the weapons.

=I wake up from the tower, I head down the spiraling stairs and into the hangar=
=I push the button and the door slides open=

Ahh..

=Sitting in the garage were 2 Kestrel Dropships and 2 Kestral fighters=

Bliss..

=I hop in one and turn the engine on and proceed to the runway=

The Wizards Posts : 4926 Join date : 2011-05-10 Age : 34

not quite i've spent so much time near things like that i've developed an immunity as well though when i have no idea i was told by someone when i was hanging out with the unsc before i met the others that as for why i'd be near those things is beyond me can't remember nothing bout my past

=I vertically take off and head toward the base=
=I pick up the intercom and as I fly over it I yell=

GOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAM!!!

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I sit up and look at him with a worried expressions on my face, i walk off and come back a few minutes later with a cover and some rope and set it up over the clearing before starting a fire with some dry logs. I smile at him

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 03:00 am

=i come out of the trance when she starts gathering the logs. the cold comes back as i move, but i force it away again= Need any help? =i smile back=

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I shake my head a little and sit around the fire. I don't enjoy the heat and wistfully look out of the cover to where it is raining.

Subject: Re: Chapter 4: Exodus part 2 16/06/11, 03:02 am

=i follow her gaze= Wanna go back out? I'm up for it if you are.

The Wizards Posts : 4616 Join date : 2011-05-10

I look at him and point at the fire, and then back at him. I smile
