island games *details inside*

Kade

"Okay...Imagine you're depressed-ish..." Dylan looks skeptical but closes his eyes. "I've got a scenario. Thorn just died. Imagine it!" A sad look crosses his face. "Good! Now you're really depressed, okay? Nothing good is left in the world. Seriously imagine it, convince yourself it's true." Dylan's lip quivers. "The only way you can be in control is to..." I wait for him to finish the sentence.

"...Channel the pain emotionally," he finishes. Pleased with myself, I can't stop grinning.

"That's it!" I say excitedly. "So do you get it?"

He opens his eyes. "I guess," he sighs.

"It seems to me Thorn's been like that for a while, so she can't really be changed. Just...talk to her without screwing things up any farther kapish?"

Dylan nods. I grin even wider.

THORN

I shrugged.
"I don't know, you have a charming appeal to you, and you should take that as one heck of a compliment, cause they are rare from me." I looked up at him. He was smiling a bit, which made me smile. This was the kind of guy i could picture as someones big brother.
"Remind me to remember that." I looked away when he looked down at me.
"You know, im not always a total pain. Just when I'm in a pissy mood." Which was most of the time.
"I figured, it's impossible to never be happy, even once in your life." I looked down at stealth, who didn't look the least bit impressed with our conversation.

DYLAN

Looking at the world like this was terrible! No wonder Thorn was always depressed and upset. I hoped that would change, at lease i hoped she would stop hurting herself.
"Why on earth would someone hurt themselves physically, to make themselves feel better emotionally?" Kade shrugged.
"Maybe they rather the pain on the outside. Why does anyone do anything? " That's a good question. But i didn't let my mind linger on it. I looked towards the way crim and thorn walked off to.
"He had better be doing his job right. If thorn gets hurt..." I stopped there, i really couldn't do anything, could I?
"I'm sure she's fine, we haven't heard any screaming."

CRIMSON

Stealth seemed disgusted with me. I patted his head. "What's wrong old boy? Strange having me talking to a girl or something?" I chuckled. "Guess that sort of crosses out the girlfriend thing."

Thorn giggled. "Guess so."

"You want to know a secret?" I asked, smirking.

"A secret?"

I nodded. "I suppose I come off as sort of dark and creepy at first, which I can't deny I am. I'm actually a total wreck and hate anything that has to do with death. I can't even stand the sight of a plant being choked out by weeds." Stealth trotted off ahead of us, obviously disgusted with me. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his little jaguar head. Probably something along the lines of, Crim you're an idiot. Stop talking to the girl and find me food. I'm supposed to be the one you care about in life, not some chick you just met. Well Stealth, I think I've just found myself a sister who needs a tad of protection from the creeps of this world. I shook my head at him and chuckled.

Kade

"I'm sure she's fine, we haven't heard any screaming," I grin, "You wanna check on her?"

He shrugs and smiles. Standing up, I walk in the direction Thorn and Crim left in, and Dylan follows. When two figures come into sight, I pick up the pace. Soon enough Crim turns around with a questioning look on his face. I clear my throat.

"Dylan has something he would like to say," I announce. Thorn turns around too. All eyes are on him now, even Stealth's from up ahead. Dylan eyes the jaguar warily.

"I, uh, want to say I'm sorry for...kissing you. That was unnecessary and I totally deserved this," he says, pointing to the cloth tied around his head to keep his nose in place. I swear, I saw Thorn's lips twitch.

THORN

Darn right you did. If he wanted a kiss he needed to earn it, not take it. A relationship isn't about kissing and all that mushy crap, it's about caring for the person your with. Wow, that has to be the nicest thing i've ever thought. I looked up at crim, then quickly back at dylan. I crossed my arms and leaned away from him.
"Fine, i forgive you. Don't give me reason to break it agian." He didn't look happy with it, but he glanced at stealth and kept his mouth shut. Smart boy.

DYLAN

I watched her fight off a smile, wow, that was simple. I made her smile just by apoligising. Maybe i could get her to like me. She glanced at crim, then back at me, crossing her arms as always.
"Fine, i forgive you. Don't give me reason to break it agian." Trust me, i wouldn't not until she was ready, all i needed was that bloody jaguar thing to maul me to death. I looked over at it. Stupid big cat.

CRIMSON

I eyed Dylan. He was staring at Stealth, absolutely appauled. "Look, if you've got a problem with my kitty, avoid it completely. Don't give me a reason to sic him on you either." I glared at him.

"Delightful," he muttered under his breath. There was more following, but I didn't catch it all. He may have apologized to Thorn, but I still hated his guts.

I risked a glance at Kade, who was staring at me with this unimpressed expression plastered to her face. "What? Nobody every said I had to be friends with him," I grumbled. And I was still going to keep him away from Thorn until I knew he would respect her a little more. A simple apology didn't fix everything.

Kade

Shaking my head, I say, "Crim, we came here to help fix things. It took a lot of nerve for him to say that. Honestly, you aren't helping. You don't have to like him, but keep it to yourself." He considers this then turns back around. I seriously hope I don't have to keep playing this role (The Patcher-Upper) While we're on this island. "Come on, Dylan."

When we're far enough from those two, I turn and grin at him. "Did you see that? She almost smiled. That's progress!" I squeal. He smiles back.

"Yeah, I saw it. Thanks," he says sincerely.

"We should probably find somewhere to sleep for the night. Like a tree. I look up at the surrounding trees, and climb up one. At the very top, I lay down awkwardly. "Climb up another tree or something!" I shout down to him. He climbs up the tree next to me and lays down even more awkwardly than me.

I'm going to take myself from this SB. I couldn't really find an opening to get in so I'm just going to drop i since I'm not involved. Sorry. Just say Allegra died or something.

***Awwe I like your charrie to be honest. If you do want to reconsider, we could drag you back in. I already have a few ideas xD****

CRIMSON

I sighed and turned to Thorn. I needed a bit of solitude before I went absolutely nuts. "Well, I'm going to fly. I'll be around though. If you need me holler. Try getting some sleep alright?"

She frowned. "What ever happened to you protecting me?"

"Well, Dylan's sleeping and I said I'd be around didn't I? I'm not the kind of guy who can sit and talk for ages. I need my isolation." I grinned. "Trust me, I won't be far." I winked and whistled for Stealth. He stole one last glance at Thorn before following me off into the forest. I scaled a tree, keeping Thorn in view. I wouldn't socialize, but I would still watch.

The reason that I was withdrawing was because no one was involving me and there was no place for me to put her. So if I get some help from someone then I would gladly reconsider.

That's great! Because four character is going to get boring...We'll help! I think Crim should run into her or something though because Kade has done a lot already. She's like the person who tries to keep the peace.

ooOOOooo...
Can Crim save her?? I want to make something explode or something!! *grins inoccently*

EXPLOSIVES! Woot! [Pyro sorry look I have an obsession with the color orange that should tell you enough]

[...On with the story!]
