Re: ※THE KIDNAPPING※

[pompous_today]

The night was proving to be peaceful and quiet- indeed, aside from the strange, involved, nearly-real dreams people had been experiencing, the Sphere on the whole had been unusually quiet this entire month.

Simon should have known it wasn't going to last.

He was never good for night shifts at the clinic, being an early-to-bed, early-to-rise type on normal days, and had been half-dozing in one of the offices while attempting paperwork when he was startled awake by what seemed like an explosion, nearly jumping out of his skin at the sound.

Simon was immediately out of his chair and running toward the back door. However, once he opened it, he caught a brief glimpse of fire, burning trees and smoke before his vision began to static out, the expected rush of adrenalin being replaced by a sudden feeling of nausea and weakness sweeping over him. Simon gave a cry of dismay and stumbled back, the door handle slipping from his fingers and causing the exit to slam shut, even as confusion rose around him amongst the people still in the clinic.

Walking through Medical was like swimming upstream as the more heroic and able bodied raced outside towards danger. Meanwhile Genius was doing his best to stay out of it. He was half looking for Simon and half looking for a safe place to hide until the monsters were gone. If it got really bad he figured someone would help them evacuate the island. That's how all these emergencies happened after all.

As he raced by the back exit, he caught a glimpse of prissy dark hair. Simon. He looked--sick?

"Woah Simon." He hovered above him, slightly breathless. "If you're gonna spew, at least make it to a trashcan!"

Paladin and Hawk

[mythgravenblade]

There was something in the air these past--weeks? or was it months by now?--that discomfited Paladin, that made him tense and wary, made his sleep light and troubled. He was already awake, taking a drink of milk, when strange sounds from lower in the branches caught his attention--he was galvanized when a look out the window revealed a red-orange glow.

Fire. Fire. Again

Huo and Sniper and a gibbering mouther of unpleasant disposition, Wellspring

[getsome_sleep]

Though he jolted awake when the explosion sounded, at the first few confused moments - at the crackling of the fire, at the blaze of red and orange and gold, at the beginning of scrambling and screams - Huo had been sure that he was still dreaming.

The water in the hot springs remained warm all night, and there were few better places in the Sphere for the tense and overworked to relax in. He hadn't planned to doze off stretched out in the water, much less to sleep deep into the night, but not much had gone as planned these days, and now he scrambled to wake, to come to grip with his surroundings and to understand what was happening. He pulled himself out of the water, with no time to dry himself or even tie up his soaked hair, because what was happening was becoming abundantly clear with every bit of wind that blew his way.

Fire.Briefly he stood on the edge of the spring, frozen. The right thing to do was very obviously to get back in the water, where the fire could not touch him, and lay low. This was the simplest, surest way to

[longnosedliar]

After separating from Cloud, Sniper began to rethink his plans. So the Clinic was surrounded by monsters, and was apparently under attack and he decided to stay? Being brave and trying to help sounded good, but the temptation remained to simply hunker down at home and wait until this all ended

[getsome_sleep]

Even with the unnatural confusion blanketing his mind, the clear shouted order got through, and Huo closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away just in time. He could see the bright light against his eyelids, and knew that it worked because the fog lifted enough for him to think, good, good, the more eyes, the easier to hurt with light and other things. I need an irritant. But where was he going to get that, or anything? He was
