Re: At a Loss

Creeping up into sight of Sloan's corpse, Anna saw that his killers were already making their way further into the jungle, and moreover, making away with the loot. A boy and girl, seemingly on good terms, she couldn't tell who they were at the angle she saw them from. Judging from their builds thoug...

Re: At a Loss

Anna blinked as the gunfire started. A few loud cracks of rifle fire split the muggy jungle air, then abruptly ended. It didn't take a genius to infer what had just happened to Sloan. Well. That's not good. Not good at all. Silently, Anna cursed Sloan not only for exacerbating the situation that had...

Re: At a Loss

((Anna Grout continued from Dork of the Manatee )) While James' assessment of the situation was not entirely accurate, it certainly appeared to be. Anna had indeed stalked up behind Sloan, but had remained out of sight amongst the foliage during the gruesome theatrics. With two armed and apparently ...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

Anna turned back to the window, trying to determine the next course of action. "I think we ought to head for the brook. There's bound to be action there, and even if there isn't, I need to refill my canteen." She spotted a ragged figure down below, making it's way across the fields to the ...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

"Keep it together," Anna said forcefully, as much to herself as to Sloan. "You've just touched on what I've been trying to say. We will have to play this game, it's the only option available. We have to kill, or we'll be killed." She got up and walked over to one of the plated g...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

"Agreed," said Anna. She was back to looking for a more suitable weapon. Her eyes fell upon an old-fashioned fire extinguisher under one of the consoles. No way that's still gonna work, but it looks heavy enough to do some serious damage. She hefted it and tested the weight, then looked ba...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

She let her guard down a bit, but was ready to act just in case. "Weapon? Heh, other than Poor Yorick," she said, producing the lacquered skull from her bag, "I've got nothing. I've been running scared for days, I've walked over bodies, I've-" She broke off. "It's good to se...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

Anna herself had been casting her eyes about for some sort of weapon, anything better than a skull, for god's sake, when the door to the chamber creaked open and a flashlight beam struck her directly in the face. Caught unawares and blinded, she fell backwards into an old table. "W- wait,"...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

It was dark inside the tower, but Anna's flashlight had died two days ago, so it was all she could do to feel around for a light switch. She found it, but flipping it did nothing. Damn, no power after all. What had she really been expecting? It seemed like everything on the island had been left to r...

Re: Dork of the Manatee

Enough. Fucking. Rain. Dawn was breaking, but you wouldn't know it; it was still black as pitch. It had been raining for a solid... three days? More? The conditions were miserable, but they had their advantages. It was much easier to avoid others when it was pouring down, for instance. And it helpe...
