[Some would call this "the calm before the storm." A good four, maybe five hours before the countdown hits zero, and camp itself is rather . . . peaceful, in some respects. Perhaps even too quiet, as campers and counselors and alien interlopers either prepare for combat or make their way to underground safehouses. The air is cool, still, and the

( this dude's got this shit packed, man. that is, his four swords [where the hell did his fifth go?] and...well, the clothes on his back. he's so ready to get the hell out of his hellhole of a cornfield. )

[bronevolence]

[...wow he really is still missing that sword. this would be hilarious if the memory wasn't so embarrassing.]

[revodouchenary]

( he doesn't quite remember why he'd lost it. funny because he remembers most of everything else. but he doesn't notice Jiang Wei as he mumbles to himself. )

Where is it?

[bronevolence]

Looking for something?

[revodouchenary]

( he turns to glance at the man even though he already recognises him by voice. )

Hmph! Is that even worth asking? Of course I am!

[bronevolence]

[you are such a douchebag. and here I was considering being marginally helpful...]

[revodouchenary]

Perhaps you can be a little useful and help.

[bronevolence]

You might try asking Hawke if she's seen it. Just a hunch.

[pause. why is he even bothering to --]

You might try doing that at a better time, of course. [and instead try not being in the way when things go to hell in a couple hours.]

[revodouchenary]

Hawke.

( he knows who that woman is, but the mention of her sparks some memories. piggy back rides. weird. )

... That's just a hunch?

( he shakes his head. )

Either way, I've just about had it with this place. There's no way I'm going down there.

[bronevolence]

Just a hunch.

[blatant lies. but he'd just as soon not think too hard about that, either.]

Have you been paying any attention to what's supposedly showing up at the end of the countdown?

[revodouchenary]

( no, he hasn't. )

Are you implying that I'm not prepared for whatever's to come?

[bronevolence]

I'm implying that if what everyone's pieced together is correct, even you might think twice about getting in its way.

[revodouchenary]

Are you afraid, Jiang Wei?

[bronevolence]

There's a difference between fear and common sense, Zhong Hui.

[revodouchenary]

And I bet you know a lot about common sense, don't you?

[bronevolence]
