I round the corner towards the kitchen. “Hey Salene! How’s everyone going?”**
I look around the kitchen, definitely more clean than before. “See you’ve been doing some cleaning” . I smile at her
Salene
" yeah Sammy and Lottie have been great" i smile back at her. " Have you found some of the others?"

I look down and bite my lip. "No I didn’t but I might know where they have gone"
I started talking about what happened when I went searching for them, speaking about the hole I found and how Lex and Ram could have gone down there but we would have to be careful as there could be other people as well.
"I think if they’re not back by tomorrow we should search for them"
I sigh again “No one said it was easy Lex but the more time you stay down there the longer it takes” I said grabbing him and pulling him back up “Whoever you have come here with, we need to re-group with them… There are more people in that cage, more old friend you probably thought were gone but we cant help them until we cant help them without some help” I tell him.
Pulling down the zipper to the waist, I rolled down the fabric and use the arms I tie it around my waist. Thankfully I was wearing a pink tank top under the uniform “Your not going insane Lex, your just overwhelmed with it all” I said and cast a look at Patsy “Right what way do we need to go?” I asked turning my focus back to him.
Right, because this is something that’s totally easy. I listen as she makes it sounds like I can snap my fingers and boom, fixed leg. My subconscious can be a real jerk, so I don’t see any point in arguing with it. She pulls me up and I realize I better support myself with the crutch or risk falling down into the sand again so I make quick work of the stick and hold myself up.
Mini heart attack under control, I hear Zandra explain how I’m not going crazy. Easy for her to say, I look at her to see that she’s rolled down her jumpsuit revealing a tank top underneath. My subconscious is such a jerk!
“There’s a creep tunnel that leads back to one hell of a hole.”
Salene
I listen to Amber and nod. " Just hoping the others will arrived soon. We can’t do all this on our own with the little ones hear" i answer her

I look around the building. “Well I’m happy to make a start. It was quite refreshing walking through the growth, so I have a lot more energy now actually. Where would you like me to get started Sal?” I beam at Salene. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to take some pride in good, honest, work.
Salene
I grin and Amber and her energy. Me for myself, i could just fall asleep while standing. " Ok, maybe Sammy and Lottie could bring the smaller bags to one room and we find a room for Ruby now?"

As the others started searching the compound, I manage to sneak of with Brady to another part of the building.
Even after all this time, I still know it like the back of my hand, and I have to do this, I have to make sure they don’t find out…
It’s just not safe…
With Brady sleeping on my back, the climb down those emergency stairs is more difficult then it was the last time I was here.
Ofcourse, she’s grown a lot from the tiny baby she was then.
As I reach my destination I put Brady down on the floor besides me.
Though I know we might all regret me doing this when night falls and the cold sets in, I see no other way.
Carefully I flip the first switch, causing the power to go out throughout the base, and then the next, turning on the sprinklers meant to stop a fire, just to make sure no one comes this way.
I pull out some of the wiring and the fuse box, destroying the electricity in this place until Ram decides to fix it.
Where is Ram anyways…
I pick Brady back up and make my way back inside.
Though I know she’s not gonna wake up happy, we slip back to the main area of the building, soaking wet from the sprinklers that are going off all around us…

There’s a flash of colour as my vision is seemingly torn away from my brain and, at the same moment, a explosion of sensory feedback shoots through my nervous system like synthetic lightning, setting every neuron ablaze with a single message: Pain.
I inhale sharply and feel my body convulse, an agonised gasp escaping my throat. It feels as though my heart is pounding on the inside of my skull, trying to get out. My mind is racing so fast – so loud and bright – I can barely think. It’s excruciating.
Eventually, thankfully, the pain fades to an echo and I’m left drenched in sweat, choking for breath as I claw at the plastic shell of the headset covering my face – blinding me. My clammy hands making it difficult to grip the smooth surface but I finally manage to wrench it off and slump back with a breathless sigh.
“Oh, no way…” I almost laugh despite my aching everything as I glance down at the headset in my hands. This is way too much. I press a palm to my throbbing cranium, turning my head gingerly to look at my dim surroundings in amused bemusement. “No… way!”
OOC - There ya go, @Lex. Have at it.
Also, anyone else whose character’s plot has hit a dead end and needs a fun spot to hop back in…

I massage my leg in preparations for the trek back to the tunnel and the beach. At this point what’s the worst that could happen? I’m slowly coming around to the idea that I’m not dead.
I catch Zandra’s eyes and muster a sheepish smile, “I’ve m…” I start to say something but the words quickly turn into pain. Every nerve ending is on fire, I feel myself contort to try and find some comfort, but there is none to be had. All I can do is scream.
When I manage to open my eyes I’m sitting next to Ram, well aware I’m in a Paradise rig. I wiggle my leg. Which was never broken. The spasm of being ripped from Paradise has left every muscle clenched and aching, but I manage to reach over and punch Ram in the arm. Doesn’t solve any problems but it makes me feel better for a moment.

Lol well this is awkward I don’t think it is a way for me to jump back into it
OOC who says you aren’t in a paradise hook up next to Ram and Lex?
I will message Jayme/Tone first to see if they are wanting to jump back in before doing something that will effectively change what was/is happening with their characters.
If you ask me this change makes the rpg less interesting… I am not interested in being in paradise… but actually getting to role play out the reunions… and actually nor being stuck in a cage while everyone else posts.
ooc - Had a conversation with Tone, we are going to work with what we can

I am starring at Lex when I feel a sharp pain in my head and coloured blurred circles danced around my eyes leaving me feeling unsettled and confused. I raised my hands to rub my eyes to try and get rid of the coloured blurs but my hands quickly come into contact with cold plastic.
It takes me a few moments to figure out which way to pull off the headset and I cant help but stare at it in shock, all of that was in my head?! I still stare at the headset for a few more seconds before dropping it aside and looking around unsure at where I am.
There are a few other people around me and I see some movement from the person who was across from me, I pause for a moment wondering what I should do, I don’t know who this person is or what they could do to me but in the end the little voice in my head tells me to ‘man up’
Striding over I pull the head set off the figure and smile as I recognise the face that was under it “Patsy!” I say relived that its her, but take a step back to give her some space.
