Santiago tilted his head to the side - his eyes widened slightly in surprise and exasperation. He loved his friend dearly, but sometimes he spoke as if everyone was on the same page and he was therefore free to launch into a stream of ideas and theories and words. So many words. He stepped a bit closer to Erin, wiping the incredulity from his face and gently placing a hand over the shorter man's mouth as he was half-way through the word 'amplification'. "Erin. Por favor. What happened in the vision?" His hand dropped back to his side, but not for long - for the hundredth time that day, he ran it through his hair, a nervous movement that did very little to actually calm him. Still, he tried his best to make his tone anything but as intensely stressed out as he was. Even managed to (kind of) succeed.

(ahah it's okay!! not much is happening anyway - if anything, shorter posts, we'll get more done c;

Erin halted, his mouth open mid-word and green eyes fastened on Santiago's brown. "Ah. Right." He visibly slumped, his skin paled and his eyes turned grey. "She saw fighting," he started, glancing at Evelyn before continuing, "Us against two from the inside. And there were no faces. No tell-tale clues that could have told us who we're up against." He glanced past Santiago, eyes icy. "But I have a pretty good idea who it'll be."
He didn't care if he was over-reacting. He knew the two girls he'd pointed out had noticed their little group talk. At the very least, one of them, the teleporting one, looked a little on-edge. He bared his teeth and forced out, "I would love to walk over there and ask them a few questions. I would love it even more if they would answer those questions. Too bad I'm a realist." Turning in towards Santiago, he closed his eyes, rubbed his temple. "I really hope I'm not the only one feeling out of my depth here."


(ooc: my thoughts exactly. and I may be the one to blame for your constant refreshing. I think I've forgotten I'm rping five times now, I am so easily distracted.

[recklessgod]

Hey, guys! I'm back, obviously. Can someone refresh my memory? I feel so bad about leaving all weekend oh my God, I'm sorry. ;-;)

[subtle fox]

(There were only three posts since the last you were on, so you didn't miss much. Evelyn had a vision of an inside attack so she, Santiago and Erin are talking; and everyone's returned from the town. That's about it.)

[recklessgod]

Okay. I'll wait for another post then and jump back in.)

xxxAdelaide was still obviobsouly worried about her, but Rhianna was glad she neclted to pursue the topic further. She could take care of herself well enough, and wouldn't mind coming to blows if someone in the camp looked deeper into her and Adelaide's past. It would be something to do, anyway, other than lying through their teeth. As easy as getting into the camp had been, Rhianna somehow thought their luck was about to run out. Judging by the look in Adelaide's eyes, she thought the same.
xxxPushing those thoughts out of her head for the time being, she waited briefly while Adelaide collected various medical supplies and other snacks. Hopefully their large haul would convince any suspicious rebels they really wanted to help out - or maybe make them more suspicious, somehow. Flicking a hand, Rhianna melted the store clerk as they made their way out of the store, making a face at Adelaide as she brushed past her. "You're just jealous of my skill," she shot back, a smirk on her face. She then turned and headed after her friend, back into the woods. An alarm began to sound behind them.

- brief time skip -

xxxRhianna set her bags down beside Adelaide's when they arrived back at the camp. Evelyn, a rebel she didn't recognize, and Santiago stood off to one side, having what looked to be an intense discussion. By the look of things, it wasn't about something as trival as the weather. Adelaide echoed her thoughts a moment later. "So. Think they're just chatting about the weather?" Rhianna shook her head fractionally as the unknown rebel shot a glance in their direction, resisting the urge to narrow her eyes in return. Such an action would simply cast more suspicion on them, if that was indeed what the three were discussing. "Let's go ask where to put this," she said instead, grabbing the bags again.
xxxWith Adelaide following, Rhianna made her way over to the small group, waiting politely for them to pause in their speech before speaking. "Sorry to bother, but where do you want us to put the food and other things?" Her face held no note she knew what they were talking about, and while she indeed didn't, Rhianna was carefully studying each of their faces, looking for a reaction.

Quinn-16-Shadow Manipulation/Enhanced fighting skills

Quinn stood up, finally done organizing the food. It looked like it would be enough for a few days, but another trip into town would be needed within the next week for sure. She walked outside, finding Ricky by the tree that ha been at earlier and sat down. He was quiet, not like he normally was. What's wrong? She asked quietly.

Ricky-16-Shadow Manipulation/Animal Speech

Ricky sighed as Quinn sat down beside him and asked the question he knew she would ask. He nodded his head toward where the others wear talking, hoping to not catch their eye. Many of the others were out walking around now that it was late afternoon. Something just seems..off. It seems to easy.

Evelyn Symphony Redfern-Rebel-Visions and healing abilities- with Erin, Santiago, Rhi, and Addy.

"Oh please stop Erin. We don't know it was them. It could have been the others too." Evelyn said with a soft sigh. She opened her mouth to speak again when Rhi spoke behind her. She turned around and smiled brightly at the girl. "I'll show you where to put those." She said brightly. She glanced back at Erin with a slightly pleading look. "Please stop overreacting about this Erin. We will get through this just fine. We always do, don't we?" She said, giving him a reassuring smile before turning back to the newbies. "Follow me." She said before walking off.

He tried his best, he really did. But after a year of freedom, he was unused to hiding how he felt. The hostility he managed to cover, but he could feel the look he was aiming in the cryokinetic's direction was a touch poisonous. So he averted his eyes, crossed his arms. Then uncrossed them and wished he'd had more to eat. Stress always made him hungry.

And Evelyn was making him stress now. "Am I overreacting?" he demanded, turning on Santiago as soon as the two younger women left. "This is something we've never had to deal with. How can she think we'll come out of this even remotely 'fine'? She had the vision, she saw the fighting!" His hair was short again, a pale blond that bristled from his scalp. "This isn't even like that first time we met, with those enforcers and the B-grade mutant."

(ooc: now we're going to need a B-grade mutant in their past story, goodie)
