Camp Chaos (PM for invite)

[Judah Lesan]

Finnik smiled, yeah when you put it like that, following a map without knowing who sent it, the whole idea was crazy. Was he glad he did, well that was remained to be seen. Whether he was happy or not depended on the outcome of this whole trip. So far, being alone in the woods with a cute girl, that was nice. The jury was out as to whether or not they were going to enjoy this trip though, and that's when he sensed it too, another presence. He noticed how it made Cassia agitated. He stretched out with the force, but whatever it was, it was gone.

His own nerves relaxed when Cass chuckled, and he got onto why they were really in the woods in the first place. They were supposed to be getting firewood, getting to know each other, and have fun. As they made their way back to camp, Finnik couldn't help but notice they were walking closer together. That was thing about the presence they both felt. They had both been set on edge. Ther was more wood to be found, so Finnik paused as he worked on making a larger pile of fuel.

"I'm 18, don't really know where I'm from, but Coruscant has been home for the last few years. My idea of a great date would be anything that involves fun... I like to be active, and don't stay in one place too long on account of the fact I'm an orphan."

Finnik floated that information out there. It would come out sooner or later. Though he didn't leave room for her to say anything that would sound like she felt sorry for him.

"So if you're ideal date is a walk in the woods, and mine involves activity, is this a date?"

[Cassia Edric]

While the mysterious presence in the woods was still in the back of her mind, she tried not to let it bother her. When Finnik paused for a moment to gather some more wood, she stopped too and listened to him speak. Her brows rose slightly when he mentioned that he was an orphan. It seemed that they had more in common besides their age. Cassia had been adopted by a family on Bestine shortly after her birth; she had never known her birth mother or father and had little information about them to this day. She remained thoughtful and silent for a moment, she was about to mention that she didn’t know her parents, but the space was filled by Finnik’s comment.

A smirk came to her face as she continued walking. “Well, I guess it’s sort of a date.” Cass shrugged slightly. “But we are headed back to a group, so…” Her voice trailed off as they reached the clearing again. As they emerged with the firewood, she looked upon the other campers; it seemed that they were all sitting around the fire. Before they were back with the others, Cass looked to Finnik and couldn’t help but smile, she hoped that they would have the chance to talk again later. She set her kindling down near the firepit and had a seat near Morgana and Bellalika.

“I wasn’t sure if I should say anything… but I think there’s someone or something out in the woods.” She said, uncertainty in her tone. Cass looked around to gauge their reactions, and noticed that the woods had grown dark, nightfall was upon them.

Bellalika was looking at the one until she heard something at the edge of her hearing in the woods. The cybernetics flaring her eyes while she was letting herself remain still. The conversation between Cassia and the other when she returned had the zeltron youth releasing a little pheromones but she was controlling it as the girl returned and sat next to her. She was speaking about something in the woods and Bellalika looked up her eyes reflecting faintly in the light of the fire while she was scanning and searching. "We'll have to be careful then, though traditionally the males are the first to go so the girl run around without their tops."

 

[Morgana Forceborn]

Just as with the others Morgana began to sense something nearby by the time both [member="Cassia Edric"] and [member="Finnik Mann"] returned. She stood as they did and tried to see what it was before hearing [member="Bellalika"] give her little comment about losing the mne first and the women without tops. She looked down at her own shurt and quickly buttoned whatever buttons were loose before reaching for her lightsaber in her pack. She pulled it out and held it at the ready, behind where Bellalika stood to let the knight be the first to attack if need be.​

While the rest of the group began to react to the presence he had smelt a few minuets previous, the lone Zabrak continued to sit in front of the fire, hardening the branch he held by fire-polishing it, he had even began to hum. He stopped though when a new set of hormones invaded his senses and cast him into a slight haze for a moment as his mind instinctively catalogued and marked the scent. "Bellalika," he turned to face the blue haired woman, "out of curiosity, are you able to lower the amount of pheromones your releasing right now? They're clogging up my nose." Reaching backwards Xavka drew the wrapped bundle he had brought with him towards himself and, using the hardened branch, began cutting at the wrap, revealing his personal Zhabako.

He eased himself off the ground and settled into a stance that left him standing on all four limbs. His knees were bent and supporting the majority of his weight while his hands kept him steady. Grabbing his Zhabako by the hilt he span it around until it was held against his back by his right hand. Closing his eyes he focussed on his hearing, trying to track the being that was making the group his prey, just as he had been taught to do so by the elder Jheres*.

"Tuha Amina Amyera, Tuha Nath Ythek Tzema Et Naal, Tuha Vysh Yema Rak."** He chanted the prayer under his breathe as he prepared for a fight like Morgana had done so.

"Whoa hold on and wait a minute," Finnik said, seemingly the only voice of reason. "Just because we sensed a presence doesn't mean it's automatically here to kill us. Secondly whatever it is hasn't come out of the woods, so no need to get all jumpy and pull out your fancy glow sticks..."

This totally was not going to end well if lightsabers were getting pulled out by antsy Jedi. Seriously was no one around him level headed, well [member="Cassia Edric"] seemed to be. She only said anything to see how'd they react, and certainly they were the panicy ones.

"This isn't some B rated horror drama, and even if it were, the ones who panic are the ones who end up dead, and they guy always gets the girl."

Okay so the last bit was for Cass, but that was because of the little humor they shared in the forest about their walk being a pseudo date. Adding another log on the fire, he sat down next to Cass and smiled. He looked at her and spoke in a softer voice.

"So since we had that walk in the woods, how about dinner. I have many freeze dried backpacking food selections to choose from," then he spoke to everyone, [/color]"Let's get dinner going and just calm down until we know more."[/color]

[Bellalika]

Bellalika looked at [member="Finnik Mann"] as she spoke. "I was saying it to get the pretty girl behind me. I like redheads." She was laughing though to show it was more in good humor before stretching back and the question about her pheromones that came from [member="Xavka Duquo"] had her rolling her shoulder to prod [member="Morgana Forceborn"] so she would sit down next to her. "Come on girly sit down, I only bite if you want me to." Then she turned her head to look at the Zabrak. "And I am controlling my pheromones it is why there isn't topless girls running around or naked tribal jedi dancing around the fire." She looked at the ones there and while she might be the youngest of them all she was also from what she could feel the senior in force ability... A strange notion. [member="Cassia Edric"]

 

[Xevek Nekonis]

Xavka looked at the group around him before snorting and driving his Zhabako into the ground. Collapsing back onto the dirt behind him, he once again removed his wine bottle from his pack and began to drink. "You say that there will be no fight, but I can tell you now," he paused to sniff the air before allowing a feral grin to spread across his face, "the air if thick with the scent of a hunt." Chuckling, Xavka's grin grew even more and he seemed to fade out of reality slightly. "The Pits have robbed me of my heritage for so long, I will once again get to bask in Vysh's presence." He continued to chuckle while maintaining his faded out look.

Abruptly stopping he reached back and slapped the back of his head. "As for dinner, Finnik, just give me whatever you have, I'm not picky." After sitting still for a few moment while staring into the fire he turned his attention toward Bellalika. "And Blue, I must say that: a; you have good taste, redheads are a ... feisty bunch, especially that one," he nodded towards Morgana, "she certainly seemed ready to fight. And b, I certainly wouldn't mind the tribal dancing if you let loose a bit, I haven't had a chance to participate in Mirethde* for a long time. Slaves don't get that honour," he let out a dry laugh. "Just warn me before you do so, don't wanna loose one of my senses." Chuckling slightly he turned to stare into the fire. After a few moments he, without realising it, began to rub at the scars under his right eye while he continued to hold the wine bottle loosely in his left hand.

As night fell Vengeance smiled. It allowed for him to follow the two would be love birds back to the camp unnoticed. He surveyed the group with admiration. He knew took a minute to chuckle as the long haired one reached for a lightsaber and popping behind the Pink girl.

It was time to have some fun. Picking up a hand full of rocks from the ground he smiled. Tossing one he aimed at Cassia's back before using the force to move around the outskirts of the camp clear to the other side before she could turn around.

Spoiler: OOC note

Let the B rated Horror movie games begin. Taking volunteers to be separated from the group. PM me and I will tell you how and exactly what.

 

[Cassia Edric]

Cassia was a bit surprised by the reactions of the others; it seemed that they were ready to run into the woods looking for a fight. Though, she figured that this could have been part of their training. As a witch, Cassia was more interested in spell craft using the force, not melee combat. However, she was still very much in the beginning of her training, and had very little experience to use to defend herself. Tonight she decided that it was important to keep her wits about her, and stay alert. She was relieved when Finnik spoke up and got the others to calm down, and the fact that Bellalika had been joking also helped to lighten the mood.

Despite the fact that Cassia’s gaze was cast forward at the fire, she felt a smile tug at the corners of her mouth at Finnik’s comment about the guy always getting the girl. It also seemed quite apparent that Morgana was quite popular with Xavka and Bellalika, or at least her hair color was, and it made Cass giggle softly. She turned slightly as Finnik came to sit next to her and spoke about dinner. “I’d like that.” Cass said quietly to him and smiled in return.

She was about to add that she had a small selection of dried fruit and meats in her pack, but she felt a sudden and sharp sting against her back. Cass let out a startled cry and shot up from her seat. “Ouch! What…” She turned around and tried to rub the sore spot on her back, but it was just out of reach. Feeling a bit confused she looked around, the woods still seemed quiet, but when her eyes shifted towards the ground she saw a small rock. Narrowing her eyes she nudged the rock with the toe of her boot before she picked it up and looked to the others. “It must have come from the woods…” That was the only possible explanation.

[Morgana Forceborn]

The sudden comments from both [member="Xavka Duquo"] and [member="Bellalika"] gave Morgana an awkward grimmace. "Is this...really the best time?' she asked both of them with her cheeks getting a little red. She cleared her throat before [member="Cassia Edric"] had mentioned something hitting her. Morgana looked to where it had come from, sensing something more and more off about the whole situation. She wasn't the first to jump at the chance to go inveistaging herself. She saw enough of these movies to know what came next. She'd just let someone else like [member="Finnik Mann"] go first and, if it came to it, she'd go after him.​

"Redheads... yeah... great color, highly spirited, but wow... they can have quite the temper too."

Finnik thought he might add to the conversation since he didn't want it to seem like he was only paying attention to [member="Cassia Edric"]. All the girls were cute in their own way. [member="Morgana Forceborn"] certainly had amazing hair, as well as other cetain appeals to her figure, and [member="Bellalika"] certainly had the Zeltron thing going on, and the pheromones... yeah those would be enough to get both of the males going if she really let them go. They were all teenagers and their to have fun, and [member="Xavka Duquo"] had wine... okay Finnik would have to get some later.

Finnik stood to retrieve his food as Cass let out a yelp of pain. A rock, okay, maybe now it was time for a lightsaber wielding redhead to go to town. The orphan noticed Cass trying to reach for the spot ot rub out the pain, and he stopped down behind her to rub it out for her. He hoped it was okay. It wasn't like she asked for his help. There were some girls out there that would not be okay with him touching them at all, and he hoped she was not one of them.

"Okay guys, maybe no it is time to start worrying. Someone threw that rock, and I know it wasn't one of us. We are not alone here..."

Bellalika looked at and could feel Morgana's embarrassment as she rose up speaking to the padawan. "Yes it is the best time, come padawan we'll make powerful force girl babies..." She said it low so she could hear her and remained serious until she started laughing and turned to look at the woods after Cassia had been tapped with something. Her eyes were looking around before she moved a little it motioning with her hand for Morgana to move in closer. "Well running off into the woods isn't the best idea and if rocks are the only thing it can throw we can hold tight and wait for morning."

 

[Xevek Nekonis]

Xavka only snapped out of his memories when Cassia cried out from being hit with the stone. Turning to address Finnik, Xavka spoke in a dry voice, "What did I tell you? Let the hunt begin!" Chuckling darkly Xavka pushed himself to his feet and pulled his Zhabako from it's place stuck in the ground.

Turning his attention to the bottle of wine in his hand, Xavka offered it towards the group. "Want some before we have a chance to enjoy Vysh's dominion?" While speaking he never once looked at the group, instead he stared into a group of trees opposite to where the stone had come from, where his sense of smell was telling him the Hunter lurked.

[Cassia Edric]

Cassia felt Finnik’s hand upon her back, as he started to rub the sore spot where the rock had struck her. After a few moments she inched away and smiled at him in thanks, but turned slightly to try and hide the rosy blush that had washed over her cheeks. Her attention then shifted to the group, it seemed that Morgana wasn’t in a hurry to go running into the woods just yet. Cass happened to agree with Bellalika, perhaps they would be best to just wait it out. Xavka was very eager to get to the ‘hunt’, and Cassia followed his gaze to the direction where the rock had come from.

“I think Bellalika’s right.” Cass started. “We shouldn’t go running into the woods, we don’t even know what’s out there.” Though, it seemed that their stalker was far beyond a regular creature of the night, there seemed to be intelligence there. “We need to stay together, strength in numbers, right?” Cass nodded, more to reassure herself than the others.

[Morgana Forceborn]

With everyone making comments about her hair Morgana had to speak up and say "But...my hair's brown!" After that she heard more comments from [member="Bellalika"] and [member="Xavka Duquo"] before graoning and saying "Why is everyone trying to get into MY pants now?" After that came the fact that [member="Cassia Edric"] agrred going off into the woods was a bad idea, though in her mind she thought If it means dying out there or risk having everyone start groping me in the next five minutes....I' starting to way my options. She still agreed though that staying together was better, unless someone was going to play the brave but foolish hero at this point.​

[member="Finnik Mann"] [member="Vengeance"]​

 

[Judah Lesan]

Finnik just nodded, and then took the offered wine. A quick drink and it was passed back to [member="Xavka Duquo"]. Just a little liquid courage.

"So I don't have a tent. Anyone got room or something in their tent for me?"

From his bag, Finnik pulled out some food packets. He also had ration bars. Since they were concerned about someone being in the woods he handed out the ration bars instead. They could cook later. He looked around but coukdn't find anyone, and just shrugged at the idea [member="Cassia Edric"] was hiding her blush. [member="Morgana Forceborn"] had not hidden hers, and Finnik began to chuckle.

"Okay guys, so let's set up a watch rotation for the night so we all get some sleep. There is five of us and we need two on watch at a time. The schedule will need to overlap. I can take first watch since I have no tent."

[member="Bellalika"] | [member="Vengeance"]

 

[Xevek Nekonis]

Taking a deep breathe, Xavka focussed on calming his rapid heart beats in the hope that it allow his to shed the mists of battlelust. "Y're right," he turned to address Cassia, "at the moment we should focus on strength in numbers."

Once again he pierced his Zhabako in the ground, the Zabrak followed it down and settled himself on a log. "Ms. Forceborn, you have my apologies if my comment made you, in any way, uncomfortable. That was not my intention." He spoke in regards to her, what he perceived to be, annoyed comment (*). Here his brow furrowed slightly and spoke to himself in a lowered and slightly higher pitched voice that expressed his slight confusion.. "However, from what I have observed I though flirting was a common thing among our age group. Hm?"

He shook his head as he turned down a ration bar from Finnik, as if to physically rid himself of his confusion. "No matter. Anyway, I'll join the first watch, since I don't have a tent either." As he spoke he had reached into his bag to withdraw a small container containing his food. He withdrew a covered bowl and a blue, Bantha Steak before replacing the container. Very quickly, so as to not attract predators, he began to tear into the meat.

Sorry if this sentence seems a bit odd, but I couldn't think of any other way to write this.

 

[Cassia Edric]

“You can share my tent.” Cassia said turning to Finnik, she didn’t like to think of any of the others sleeping out in the open… especially with someone out in the woods. Even though she had to admit that a bit of canvas really wouldn’t save them from anything, but it would certainly help spare them from the elements. Cass blinked a few times as she realized that her invitation to Finnik could easily have been taken the wrong way. “I mean… you can sleep in my tent when I’m on watch. And Xavka can borrow Bellalika or Morgana’s tent, if it is okay with them?”

Having thoroughly embarrassed herself, Cass went inside her tent for a moment and retrieved her dried jerky and fruit. She kept a few pieces aside for herself and added the rest to the pile of rations that Finnik had made. She ate quickly and then moved back towards her tent. “I will take the second watch. I think I'm going to get some rest now.” She nodded to the others, Cass had the distinct feeling that it was going to be a very long night.

Bellalika listened to them and she was moving towards her tent as she opened it and was listening to the woods around her before she was leaning back into her tent and expanding the force out to feel what she could. The sounds from the others coming to her ears while she listened to Cassia talking about who would keep watch while inviting another to her tent. It was amusing but she was letting her thoughts get ahead of her and away from feeling out into the woods.
