Danni does not seem to care. I feel the last strength leave me as i sink down at the sand. Pulling my knees up against my chest i hide my face. It feels as if all hope is gone, how could she betray Zandra like that?
Iām not disappointed. Lex rises from the surf, sodden and salty, clearly unimpressed by our little prank. He shouts his displeasure while I press a closed fist over my smirk, doing very little to hide my amusement as he wades back to shore.
With my arms folded coolly, I side-step out of the way to let him pass as he stalks by, dripping sea water. āWeāre moving camp.ā Lex reiterates in a less-than-friendly tone and I pull an āuh-ohā face at Trudy, snickering silently.
āHold onā¦ā I blurt suddenly, my brows drawing together in a frown. āRight now? What about food? Lex? Lex!ā Too late. Heās done with us. Wellā¦ for now, at least. I mean, Iām sure heāll come around ā I grumble and so does my stomach. āLex! It was a joke!ā
In light of the news that weāll be moving shortly, I leave Trudy on the beach and make for the treeline. See, I donāt know about the rest of you, but Iām not about to be that guy who has to be told āYou shouldāve gone before we left.ā
Some moments later Iāve responded to natureās call and am re-zipping my fly when I hear something, or rather, someone nearby. Itās faint but undeniably a human voice. Splashing sea-water from a battered plastic bottle on my hands to sanitise them as best I can, I move silently and cautiously in the direction of the sound.
Iām close. It sounds like itās coming from just ahead now. I clench my teeth as a thin branch whips over my cheek. Stupid nature. If you ask me, all trees are good for is oxygen production. Now I break through the foliage into a small clearing. Thatāsā¦ oddā¦ I couldāve sworn the voice was coming from just through hereā¦?
At first Iām perplexed. Then I prepare to panic as it occurs to me that I mightāve have foolishly walked into a trap. My alarm is short-lived, however, as I hear another pained grunt to the right of me and notice an opening in the earth marked by freshly snapped branches. The bottom of the pit is in shadow but, squinting my eyes, I can make out a familiar and very disgruntled faceā¦
āLex?ā I say in surprise. āWhatāre you doing down there?ā Heh. Sometimes dumb questions are fun. He looks quite pitiful lying down in the hole, still soggy from mine and Trudyās little prank. Ah, it really isnāt his day.
Iāve done my share of misdeeds but Iām not so heartless as to leave him trapped down there. Why, Iād be glad to help him out!
ā¦ Just as soon as he asks for itā¦
OOC - That line of palm tree emojis is where youāve gotta imagine a between-scene transition with the music and a recycled clip of a crab creeping on the sand, okay?
< shiiiinyyyy
I smiled slightly bewildered at Alice āThanksā¦ I thinkā I said and glanced at the others for moment āIt actually surprises me that he spoke about me, I didnāt think it wouldā I added a slight shrug āHe seemed to move on quick enoughā I moved and took a look around the cage āI totally didnāt want to end up in here, this was not part of my planā
I paused and looked at KC then the others āSorry guys. Clearly my plan suckedā I said and chewed my bottom lip slightly worried about how we were gonna get out of this mess.
OOC: It was totally my tag. Grrr. Also nice crab. Annnnyyyyways.
Itās felt like hours, down in the hole. Iāve watched my ankle swell up to the point of bursting, I still donāt feel any actual pain though. Because dragging yourself out of a hole with a broken leg is near impossible. Iām mostly thinking about my stomach and just how long I can hold out before grubs look tasty.
And then I hear Ram. Of everyone on the beach it had to be Ram. Iād almost welcome Amber at this point. Thought Id see if I could dig a hole deep enough to get off this island. I mutter in response to his question. What does it look like?
Lexās sarcastic retort isnāt unanticipated and I respond with a roll of my eyes. Squatting at the pitās edge, I peer down at him and at his grotesquely swollen ankle. Look, Iām more neuro than osteo but I believe the correct medical term for this kind of injury is something along the lines of āEw. Gross.ā
I momentarily grimace, sucking air though my teeth, and then say smoothly, āIt looks likeā¦ youāre not getting out that hole without my helpā¦ā I straighten up and my eyes flick back to meet his with a cool gaze. āHmmā¦ Iād be very nice to me if I were you, Lexy boyā¦ā
Pressing a finger to the back of my ear, I turn it towards him with a wide-eyed expression of expectation on my face. "Pleeease, Ramā¦?"
OOC - Psssh. I swear Iāll get him out of there on my next post.
Trudy
I gather my stuff on the beach, and hold my daughters hand. Still grinning from Lexās swimming lesson. Sure, heāll be whiny the rest of the day, though with a bit of luck heāll be out of my way, sulking behind a tree or something.
Though I still feel a bit awkward going back into the building, atleast I know not to worryā¦ thanks to Ram.
Itās strange to admit, but out of everyone amongst us, he is the only one I dare to trust right now.
āOkā¦ time to go inside, itās getting coldā¦ā
ooc - I really want this RPG to have a good chance lol, it could be totally amazing!!!
Bic -
I leave guys side and wonder around the cage carefully looking to see if there was any holes or gaps that had formed. Part of me knew that it was pointless but it was something to do that didnāt include sitting around waiting for something to happen.
Bloody Danni, I cant believe what shes done, I donāt even know how she could look at the Mallrats in the cage and not help them

Patsy looks around and sighs. I want to get out of this place, i dont want to be stuck in this cage. āDanni let us out pleaseā I mutter.
I just needed to keep walking, one foot in front of the other. The further from the cages the less the guilt will weigh on my shoulders, noā¦ I couldnāt feel guilty for something that wasnāt real. I just had to remember who I was, how Iād survived and made it this far. The Mall Rats had abaondoned me, their ideology didnāt fit with mine and I had to focus on the life the Technos had given me. No it wasnāt perfect but nothing in this world was, we had electricity nowā¦ and if that meant there needed to be slaves until there was a better system in place well the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.
Reaching the cabins I look around, wondering where everyone was. It wasnāt that there were lots of Technos stationed here, but the numbers had been dwindling more recently. Moving inside I head over to my bed and sit down, my head coming to rest in my hands. This wasnāt how things were meant to be here, this was meant to be an easy assignment. Damn the virts, damn them all.
the rest of us is about to go insideThe banter between Ram has taken my mind off of wanting to eat long enough for the full wave of pain to hit. And it hurts. Bad.
I take in a sharp breath. ā Ram, you get me out of this hole right now. Cause if I get myself out Iām ringing that scrawny Little neck of yours.ā

I walk over to @Patsy when I hear her calling and put my hand on her shoulder āShes just confused over all this, I donāt know what kind of experience she had with you guys but it doesnāt seem to of ended in the best wayā I said with a small smile.
āHow did you end up separated from the Mallrats?ā I asked
I look at my shoulder as I feel someone placing their hand there. Lifting my eyes slightly I can see @Zandra . I listen to what sheās saying and look away. She goes on to ask how i ended up separated from them. Iām not sure if I want to tell. āShe hates me, its my fault.ā I say shortly and look at the sand on my feet.
I might as well tell her so she can hate me too. āI lost Brady, we had found the antidote and Trudy needed a babysitter, and I wanted to help. On the first day, Brady was kidnapped. Later Trudy was taken as well, and when they returned I was so thrilled to have them both back safe and sound, so i did and believed everything Trudy said. It was a mistake, she was on their team, the chosens team. They took Danni away, then they learned that i was spying for the mallrats and took me awayā I sigh and look up at Zandra
I pull @Patsy into a small hug āIt sounds more like a young girl tried her best to help. No matter who was with Brady they would of found a way to get her and we should just be thankful that they didnāt hurt you on the day they took herā I said and gave her a small smile āAs for the rest of it, when we do something we feel bad about, almost everyone would do anything to try and make it upā¦ We just need to make sure that learn from our experiences and mistakesā
I stepped away from her āAt least some of us are together now, its not the best situation but I will do anything I can to get us out of here and get you back homeā

Im surprised as @Zandra pulls me into a small hug. What she is saying is probably right, but still I feel slightly guilty. I nod my head and sigh. āIām glad your here Zandra,ā I say with a small smile before looking around in the cage. āDo you think we will get out of here?ā
