*Glad to be back where it's warm and dry!*

*The driver of the jeep didn't hang around long after Ric had grabbed his bag, for some reason the guy seemed eager to get away though Ric couldn't work out why. I mean they'd spent the whole trip chatting about the camp, the women, booze, how attractive the jeep drivers eyes were... ah well Ric wasn't too bothered.

*Dom was wasting angrily away in the artillery tent, having had to take over for Zero because he had to go on the very same mission as Rogue. She didn't mind a hard day's work. She really didn't. But this place was starting to get on her nervous and she couldn't quite put a finger on it.

She tried to hum to herself as she cleaned the gun rack to cheer her spirits up. It wasn't really working, but it was something.*

*Taking the round about tour of camp Ric noticed that someone was in the artillery tent. Stubbing out his cigarette Ric crept over and peered around the flap of the tent. If it was Zero he'd high tail it out of there but if it was... Dom well that was an entirely different matter.

Grinning Ric tugged the rope ties and let the flap fall silently closed behind him. Quickly he ducked behind a stack of ammunition boxes and waited for her to notice the change in light*

[alwaysthelucky1]

*When she noticed it had gotten darker, Domino looked up from the gun she was cleaning to see the tent flap had been closed. She frowned and walked over to open it back up before moving back to the rack to clean the gun.*

[movetheearth]

*Creeping back Ric again undid the tent flap but also didn't hide in the same place as it didn't give him enought time to sneak behind the gun rack.

Noticing a discarded empty bullet shell Ric pocketed it and tugged on the rope letting the flap fall down again before darting between the gun racks in slowly shimmying his way down to where she had been cleaning*

*Ophelia had spotted Ric as he left the artillery tent. She was torn between stomping over and hitting him, or running over and hugging him.

In the end, she skipped over and pinched his side to get him to turn around and face her, pouting slightly.*

[movetheearth]

*The pinch was a surprise and didn't hurt so much but still Ric turned to look to see who had attacked him. He broke into a grin at the sight of Ophelia but mimicked her pout as he realised she was suitably unimpressed with him currently*

Uhhh hey Ophelia.

[mad_asahatter]

*A glare worked its way on her face as he grinned. She didn't like that. But at the same time, she was glad to see him again. She was still too conflicted and had to make up her mind.

So she went with both. Slapping his cheek hard before jumping up with her arms around his neck.*

Bric-a-brac!

[movetheearth]

*The slap hurt but Ric could understand why he deserved it so he said nothing as he caught her around the waist and lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around his waist*

Hello my Ophelia

*Smiling up at her he nuzzled his head against her stomach*

Did you miss me?

[time_schizo]

*Martini was feeling rather low. In the small corner of his brain still sane, he knew that his state was going downhill fast. However, the majority of his brain refused to listen.

He suddenly spotted Ric. Was he back, or was his mind messing with him again? Only one way to find out. He appeared right behind Ric, and caught him in a half hug, half tackle which knocked both of them to the ground. Had he known the proper term, he would've called such a manuever a glomp.*

Nice to see you back.

[movetheearth]

*One minute Ric had been upright the next he was lying face down in the dirt with Martini latched onto his back. Either the man was trying to fight him or... hugging him?

Realising that Martini had his arms pinned Ric lay there and sighed blowing up a cloud of dirt*

Is that a joke or are you serious?

[time_schizo]

*Martini let Ric up, still with a grin on his face, and trying to focus, a difficult task lately.*

Oh, very serious. People come and go so often in my life I've gotten used to never seeing someone again. So hence, this is a pleasant surprise.

[movetheearth]

*Dusting himself off Ric clambered up and turned to look at Martini. For some reason he seemed unable to keep focused on one thing and his gaze darted around. Ric looked up trying to work out what he was staring at but there was nothing there.*

Yeah I'm back. Couldn't leave you on latrine duty all on your lonesome now. You alright though Martini?

[canidazzleyou]

{She'd seen him make his way around the camp, and clearly from the interaction he'd had with the others, he wasn't new like her, or some of the others.

Although she did notice Ophelia's enthusiastic greeting. There were a few away on a mission, maybe that's where he'd been. With a shrug, Dazzler left the position by her tent she'd taken up, waltzing over after he'd talked to the pretty faced, blond guy.}

So, I'm thinking you're not a new face like me, yeah?

[movetheearth]

Well I'm what you would call old school new. I'm not a new pretty thing like you but I'm not an original like Dukes or Victor.

*Ric smiled at the gorgeous blonde who had sauntered over to him. If he was honest she reminded him a little bit of Emma. Smiling his trade mark cheeky grin Ric held out his hand*

I'm Julio Esteban Richter but everyone calls me Ric! And you are?

[canidazzleyou]

{The names didn't ring a bell, but Alison was fairly certain she'd figure it out later. He'd quickly learn that while she shared a few traits like the cold Miss Frost, Ali was nothing like the bitch queen.}

Well, it's a pleasure. I'm Alison, but you can call me Ali.

[movetheearth]

Ali. Es un gusto conocerte Ali.

*He rolled the name round his tongue purposely over emphasing his mexican accent. Ric was a flirt, a terrible but very endearing flirt for that matter. That was something she'd quickly learn about him in camp, and the fact that Ric managed to charm men and women as he would happily go either way.*

What's a pretty thing like you doing out here then?

[xxxbanexxx]

*Exiting his tent, Tristan noticed that Ric was back. Slowly, he wandered over to him.*

Hey, Ric.

[movetheearth]

Hey! How are you buddy?

*Ric grinne, it was good to see both new and old faces from the camp.*

[xxxbanexxx]

Yeah, I'm pretty alright, man. *He smiled.* What about you?

[movetheearth]

Not too bad! Could have done without the brief mission but apparently I needed to go to learn from John some team interaction skills. All because Martini and I had a minor falling out.

*He shrugged, smiling a little*
