Caleb'd lost track of Selene and Grif somewhere in the middle of the party, and when he heard and saw exactly what was going on, he made a break for it. His first priorities weren't staying with a group; his first priorities were to find his girlfriend (Selene) and the person who probably had the most guns (Grif). (Not that these really needed

Of course, she's not about to let Caleb get eaten or mauled by a bear, so the first course of action is to give him the distraction he so desires. While hiding behind a nearby tree, she picks up a decent sized rock and throws it at a patch of grass a good distance away. Hopefully, the rattling noise will give him the necessary time to react or counterattack.

And, for the record, she doesn't look like a bear or a familiar face...yet.
Instead, Caleb might find himself staring at a woman, clad in a leather biker jacket and skirt, along with a rather plain black motorcycle helmet. In her gloved hand is a metal briefcase, which leaves one to wonder what's inside. The only thing that might stand out is the familiar yellow scarf and a blue stone around the woman's neck.

He's heard about Battle Royale, and he knows that this is something at least similar. She might be someone hostile, after all. It's better to be safe than sorry.

He's sheathed his sword to take stock of everything else on him, which amounts to a small dagger, a few coins, his apparently useless PINpoint, and his clothes. Just his luck for this to happen when he's not in his armor and doesn't have the usual compenents for spell-casting. He grumbles mostly to himself in annoyance... and runs into the dead bear because he's not looking where he's going. Good job!

"Wh--" and then Mia steals his question. (Presumably she's better at this questioning thing, being a lawyer and all that.) There's a definite guardedness about Caleb's body language, though - he doesn't trust random people in this setting, with good reason.

He straightens up and takes a single, slow step back from the bear, and keeps his hands away from the broadsword strapped to his back. "My name is Ash. Ash Halla-Barra." He's been using his dad's surname a lot more these days and it feels appropriate.

The vibrosword's already out and flicked on as he comes running up to help Grif. There's no need for the SRM launcher on dire bears, especially when he's got someone as well-armed and well-armored as Grif there. "We should have this under control - don't waste ammo," he calls back to Mia. As for Ash, Caleb is just going to hope that he's not going to use this time to put a knife in his back. It's a calculated risk.

She takes the initiative by backing up a good distance from the future battle sight. The spear from before gets unfolded and connected, and occasionally Mia glances between the three men. She also makes a mental note to strap the gun holster around her waist, in case if she really does have to use it.
For now though, she'll let Grif and Caleb start the battle, unless she needs to rush up to the front line.
