Closed to Cam and Blake! Gomen but gots to bond and iron out kinks! Time for some hard lovin!
""Hey guys, why don't we go make sure there's nothing else around, okay? Blake, Hunter, and Cam can check this place out."
Well Tori's certianly subtle isn't she? I watch as she wanders how with Shane and Dustin, leaving me with Cam and my brother the brat. As the Winds wander off I resist the urge to wander off myself because as Blake's already proven, being by yourself in this place isn't exactly the best of ideas. For all I know this Tori clone had little friends. Maybe green dinos that bite your ankles or something.
I'll have to talk with Blake eventually, that little hug we just had and his semi-apology isn't going to cover the entire issue. It was more of a band aid. And to be honest I'm a little afraid of how Cam is going to react now. Is he still going to want me after seeing how jealous and lame my family can get? Yes, I love him, but Blake is being such a kid.
Raking a hand through my dark blond hair I grab a fist full and tug, one hand on my waist as I stare upward and wonder when I'm finally gonna be getting a break. Aren't I do for one soon? Then with a sigh I give my body a quick shake in an attempt to get rid of some of the built up tension and turn to face a sullen Blake and quiet Cam with a plastered on smile.
"Well we better get to it guys! If Tori comes back and finds us just standing around then were really going to be in for an earful!" |

ISO Casey, open to other Jungle Fury members if they want to jump on!
Nothing like beating a bad guy and saving the day to get your heart pumping and your adrenaline rushing. It's right up there with winning first place in a race, the high lasts a little longer because you've got the added bonus of having saved the world. The only real downer, outside of all the bruises and occasional broken rib, is that no one really knows it was you. Sometimes it be nice to get the recognition. Then again I remember what happened last time I let the fame go to my head and it didn't have the greatest of outcomes. I never really knew how desperate I was to be recognized as something other than an air head, I should have known that my friends never saw me like that.
But still I've got way to much energy and feel ready to bounce off the walls so when Tori suggests we split up I know I should have stayed and helped them but I was distracted and couldn't help darting off. I'll probably get an earful later but no matter, their kind of used to me now. After all these years they ought to be!
Rocks and dirt crunching under my boots I jog back over to where everyone has congregated (bet you didn't think I knew that word!) and stand on my toes to scan the area for a familiar light head clad in red. Catching sight of him my grin splits my face and I wave a hand in the air to catch his attention while calling out his name.
"Hey! Hey Casey!"
Then I bound over a boulder attempting to look oh so totally cool like only an Earth Ninja can and end up catching my foot on said boulder and landing on my rear. Well...there went that plan out the window. |

Closed to Tori, sorry guys!
Day one in creepy underground place isn't even over with (at lest I don't think it is...I kind of left my watch at home) and we've already battled one evil monster, had some brotherly bonding, seen Cam ready to pluck out his own hair, and made Tori upset. Long day...trust me the worst is making Tori upset, she can get a little scary.
Blake, Cam, and Hunter have gone off to do their own little version of the angsty Hardy Boys while Dustin has run off after tossing a quick "See you later Dudes!" over his shoulder and I have a pretty good idea why. I'm not totally oblivious, I did see the looks he sent towards that kid in the red! I swear I did. Anyway this leaves Tori and I to do either do an odd little impression of the Bobbsey Twins or take use of the alone time and bring each other up to speed. I get the feeling that between the two of us we've got information that the other one is missing and needing.
"You want to check out that area over there Tor?" I ask gesturing at some random spot of the MOD's campsite "Might be able to find something we can use and get each other up to speed."
See? I can so totally be the big awesome leader! Word. |

In my defense I was triple dog dared.
Lily's off with her team and seeing as I don't want another spat with Theo anytime soon I decide to do a little exploring of my own. I could have sworn I saw Ashley somewhere but other then her I haven't seen any of my teammates and I can't help but wonder what Cassie, TJ, Andros, and Zhane are up to. Their strong, they can take care of themselves I realize that, but knowing where they are and being able to see them really helps a lot in the self esteem area.
My wandering has lead me a little bit away from the group and as I look around I notice that the glowing trees aren't the only vegetation we've got in the area. I suppose that makes sense. I mean the ground is rocky and its not like to much would be able to grow here but there's water and light must be coming from some place or the trees wouldn't survive.
These aren't trees though, they don't even come close to shrubbery. Their some kind of odd flower with hairy stems that remind me of those big white flowers you see in the Spring time. I think their called Queen Anne's Lace. The flower has petals like a Gerber Daisy though and as I lean forward its as if the plant actually moves closer to me and I've suddenly inhaled way more pollen then I ever wanted.
Surprised I fall back onto my rear sneezing and wiping my nose with the back of my jacket. My eyes are tearing up and all I know is I've got to get away from the flower and quick. But then in my scramble Lily comes into view and I pause. When did she become so...delectable. I wouldn't mind taking her into one of those little huts and showing her, over every little inch of that pale skin, how lovely I think she looks. I'd make sure Theo never bothers us either. Then when were done I know I saw a pretty blond in pink, maybe she needs a little company....
Wow was it this hot down here before? Maybe I need to get rid of some of these extra clothes, my jacket, my black t-shirt... And since when has my uniform pants gotten tighter around the...
I pause, look down, and blush. Oh my. |

Okay...so maybe slipping off with Tori, or at lest what I thought was Tori, while we're all stuck in some funky underground cave like place (minus the home sweet home feeling that Ops has that I'll never admit to out loud) really wasn't one of my best ideas. Actually it quite possibly tops my list of 'Blake's Dumbest Ideas Ever Vol 2' but I can't take all the blame I mean I was angry!
Maybe a stupid reason to be angry. I mean its not like I should expect Hunter to tell me every little thing. Its just...well he always has and I guess I never thought it would ever be any different. Course my own emotional turmoil, ugh that makes me sound like I belong in one of those Soaps I caught Kelly watching once, blocked every single shred of common sense I had.
I mean come on, like Tori would really snap at Cam. As if. She would be even more less likely to take a teammate, even me, away from the others when we haven't got a clue at the moment which end is up. Of course I realize that now and a fat lot of good it does me. The thing I thought was Tori has got me under a rather watchful eye and is looking at me like I'm supper. I swear I saw it lick its lips.
This must be what girls mean when they say their having a OMG moment. Are you there God? It's me Blake. I know I haven't been the greatest guy around but I totally helped that little old lady cross the street the other day! If you could make it so I'm not eaten I'd totally appreciate it.
Man...where's the big bro when you really need him? |

I like have the monopoly on Ninja Storm....score! For Ninja Storm people at first then open to anyone else who wants to jump on. Like....say Casey cause Dustin keeps staring at him.
Okay, so I've got a history of falling asleep in some weird spots. Going to school, going to a ninja academy, being a Ranger, and making sure you get enough practice in at the skate park can make you pretty tired. I mean I've totally cut back on the falling asleep in class gig but waking up in a place that I know I've never been before is unnerving. At lest my friends are here, even if I hadn't seen their black uniforms and splashes of color among all the rock you couldn't miss Dustin's laugh and all to familiar explanation of "Dude!"
Picking my way over the rocks and grumbling as I slip on some, this is totally a skaters worst dream not a even spot of ground for all the eye can see, I make my way over to my friends. I dodge a few warm bodies in the way, making note of the rather similar dress code, keeping one eye out for a possible enemy the entire time. The closer I get to my friends the more the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get the feeling I'm missing something. Something important.
"Hey guys!" Trademark grin in place I clap a hand on Dustin's shoulder "Don't know about all of you but this really isn't my kind of place. Not really into the whole, rocks and more rocks decorating scheme." |

[OOC: I know I've been MIA for months, I'm terribly sorry! Work has slowed down for me, and with my boyfriend at school.. I need something to do! This is mainly for the Jungle Fury group.. but if anyone else wants to jump in feel free to!]
Was there really a way out of this place? It seemed like we've been stuck here for ages. A year. Definitely longer than a few days.
Earlier I heard some commotion involving Dominic murdering RJ's precious chair. You gotta feel pretty bad for Dom right about now. RJ probably flipped out on him or was seen on the ground clinging to the chair like it was his own child. Which.. he probably thinks it is.
"Me, on the other hand?" I said out loud to no one in particular, just myself. Have done some serious thinking. Well, as serious as it can get right about now. Carlos. Theo. My friends. How much I miss taking a shower.. pretty sure birds were starting to build a nest in my hair at this point.
Toeing at the ground with my right foot, I frowned. This place certainly brought people down. Especially me. Not that anyone noticed, hopefully. Except perhaps RJ. But he got distracted by attempting to kill Dominic and rescue his child, I mean chair. Give me a plastic spoon and I'll attempt to dig my way out of this place! |

OOC: Open to anybody.
I did try to tell him it wasn't working properly. Not that I blame, Boom I think his name was, but it seems like it wasn't at full capacity. Still, considering that I hadn't been able to see it as well as I would have liked, I took his word for it that it was working. Looking back on it, I should have insisted further. Not that I mean to complain, but I would have rather landed on land instead of in water. I suppose I should be thankful it's not an ocean and stop complaining that I'm soaking wet and on my own.
That said, next time someone insists it's fine when I say differently I'm going to insist more forcefully to check it myself. I drag myself out of the water and wring out my hair before heading back to the stream when I finally realize that I lost my glasses somewhere. This is not a good day so far. I reach around, grasping for them and quickly pick them up out of the water before they can float away. Well, that's one problem taken care of, I suppose. As I look at my wet clothes, not to mention the wet belongings I brought with, I sigh. At least things can't get any worse. |

That was a long enough nap that I took.
Right?
Serves me right for being so tired. Or trying to stay up so late.
No one was around after getting up. Things seemed too quiet. Like something was almost wrong. Peering around a corner, I still saw nothing. "Well then.." A little exploring couldn't hurt.
Could it? |

[Sep. 19th, 2008|01:29 pm] |
(OOC - for Wes in particular. Others welcome too.)
Talking with Trip about this new improved Wonder Scanner 3000 (I'll come up with a fancier name if Sky ever gets here, because he doesn't like it when I'm too frivolous, it's against some rule or other that comes right under 3.1.0.666: The size of the stick up Sky's ass is inversely proportional to his mood) has given me all sorts of ideas about how to get moving on it. I actually have some faith now that we can make strides in finding the captured people.
It's been months. I'm desperately worried about Syd and Kat, and everyone else, too.
But at least I've got something to work on, now. This is big. I've got it propped up on two tables, and I'm standing underneath it, buried to the waist, working in its fascinating electronic innards.
...and I need the small flathead screwdriver. "Screwdriver, please," I say absently, then I remember Boom isn't here. I miss having Boom around to help with these things.
"Uh, someone?" I say, a little louder. I hope there's someone around because I don't really want to have to disentangle myself from the Wonder Scanner; I'm in EXACTLY the right spot and it's kind of jabby if I move in the wrong way. |

Katie's not doing so well, but she'll be all right. I'll look after her, just like she's looked after me so many times. And then we can try to help Danny and Max. I feel bad about Danny going off by himself, but I couldn't leave Katie, and he couldn't stay with Katie while I went, but jeez...
She's better now, so I get up to find her some water.
I'm standing by the crates with two bottles in my hand when I see a familiar figure in the distance. I break into a disbelieving smile. "Wes?" I start running. "Wes!" |

I sneeze violently, and go to pull a tissue out of my pocket... but a wheel from RJ's chair comes out with it and falls on the ground. It rolls around and around in a pathetic little circle.
I look up. Fran saw me. Oh, crap.
BUSTED. |

| [Danny] Max? |
[Sep. 7th, 2008|09:48 am] |
(OOC- For Max)
One of the good things about working with plants my whole life is that I can find what a certain kind almost immediately-- which is the one good thing that's happened to me so far, I realize as I cling to the leaves I have with me. Katie said that the scent should be enough to drive the thing in Max away. I hope she's right.
I also hope I'm right in going alone. Trip and Katie were... less then happy about that, but Max might hurt one of them. At least with me I know he wants me in one piece.
Unless, of course, whoever took him made him think otherwise.
"Max? I'm here." My voice echoes. "I came back to you." |

[Aug. 24th, 2008|09:13 am] |
(OOC- For Max, and maybe Danny and Trip later)
I'm not too thrilled with Danny right now.
I can't blame him, though. If anything happened to Trip (again) I know I would be asking anyone/thing I thought could help. I just...
Katie, when you were possessed... do you remember anything? I'm very sorry, but I need to know.
It was about then that I made him tell me what happened to him and Max-- really tell, not just the vague details he gave us when we brought Max back.
Then I made him show me the bite mark.
I told Danny everything I knew-- or at least everything I knew that might help him. The whole vampire thing did sound depressingly familiar... and it triggered a memory. Not much of one, but it was batter than nothing. Um, ask Trip about where he found me when I was... yeah. About five kilometers from there you should find something gold, I think? It's small, but I think the thing that had me was afraid of it. A lot.
So Max and Danny are gone, looking for that. I hope they're all right.
Max, however, I know is anything but all right. After making sure my neck is completely covered up (not taking any chances, thank you!), I stand outside the tent flap. "Max? Is there anything I can get for you?" |

[Aug. 14th, 2008|11:22 pm] |
(OOC- Other threads are presumably still active, this is primarily for Max)
Things are quiet at the base for now-- which is good for me, since I get to examine the plant life here more closely. It's interesting; some of it looks vaguely like what you'd see in Turtle Cove, some looks like what you'd see on the Animarium, and some... I've never seen anything like it before.
It's about then I notice the rustle in the leaves. I jump, then get ready for the inevitable attack... except it never comes. Hunh. Maybe it was a bird? Are there birds here?
Still, I should check on Max, just to be safe. He's a few feet away, catching a nap while I explore. I shake him gently. "Max? Did you hear something just now?" |

I flash a satisfied grin as the nut lands on Leo's rear and quickly flick him the finger. Okay, so its not the most adult thing to do but that guy was purposely trying to get my goat! So what if he's making out with Kai? Not like Kai is the only guy in the world. There's Xander, who is possibly the only guy I know that uses as much, if not more, hair products then I do. Plus there's plenty of lovely females out there.
Stupid Kai. Stupid Leo.
Stupid me for getting jealous that everyone is pairing up. |

(OOC - for Hunter in particular, but any other inside people are welcome to respond, especially those who were in the area before e.g. Drake, Kelsey, George, Paul, John and Ringo)
Now I'm worried.
There's nowhere they could've gone. They just went around a corner and disappeared. I've yelled. I've screamed. But there's nothing.
I run my hands through my hair helplessly. If we were back at Ninja Ops and I had my equipment, I could run all sorts of scans, but I didn't bring anything with me. From now on I'll have to go to bed with a full set of scanning equipment in my pyjama pockets. I look around one last time, hoping they'll jump out from behind one of the glowing trees, or a flimsy bush will swing up revealing a trapdoor, but no.
"Damn." I turn and break into a run, heading for Hunter. "Hey, Hunter. Tori was here. She went off with Blake. Now I can't find either of them." I give him a grim look. |

[Jul. 19th, 2008|12:14 am] |
Matt does something strange. I don't quite understand it, but I know he's taken care of Max. Even better than I could do myself. I don't have his abilities, after all.
There are two Matts. I raise my eyebrows, a reluctant grin on my face.
"There..." they say, "He's back, safe and sound, and coming around."
I sigh with relief. That's wonderful news. He'll be okay now, and I'll be able to catch up with Matt and find out what's been happening with his people. This will be important for our mission. Mission? Oh, yeah, the kidnapped people.
He's touching my face. "Now, sweet Taylor. Tell me of your missing friends."
I stagger as the world disappears around me, looking around frantically. What on-
A ship forms around me. I take in a deep breath, dropping automatically into a defensive crouch, but then I realize it's just Matt's ship and he's brought me here so we can be comfortable. I straighten up, feeling stupid, and smile at him.
"This is amazing," I admit. "I haven't been somewhere this comfortable for days." A pang goes through me as I think about the Animarium. It'll be good to get back there, and wonderful to have rescued everyone -- which we'll do, definitely. But I'm going to miss the people I've met on this mission. Especially Jack.
Jack flies out of my mind again as I see a glimpse of a huge bathroom. It's been so long since I've had a proper shower. Oh, boy. But to business. "People have been vanishing from various Ranger teams," I tell Matt soberly. "I don't think it's anything to do with your people, though. It's Pillan." |

Even though I didn't want to, I wandered back into that.. cave thing again. It was just as creepy as before. Cobwebs, bugs, the ultimate creepy feeling you get if you're watching, let's say a horror movie. Except this time Kira came along with me, she told me she was curious to see this place.
Not even five minutes in the place and I felt strange. My head spun momentarily and almost all coherent thoughts were gone. Looking back, I saw Kira a few feet away from me looking at something on the ground. Hmm. Maybe I can try and trick her into following me someplace. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden. But my body is controlling itself and almost forcing me to do this.
"Oh, Kira. Why don't we try looking over in this room over here?" I pointed to an extremely dark room to my left.
She eyed me, not really sure what to say. But nodded her head before she spoke. "Sure. Whatever we can do to find them." And she followed me.
Perfect. This was all going to plan. |

I scramble to my feet and look around wildly.
They're gone.
No tracks. No nothing. No way they're anywhere nearby.
SHIT. I'll have to get back to the base. Got to get help. Got to tell people! The back of my head's throbbing and I'm seeing double, maybe triple, but I manage to stumble out of the clearing and head for the base.
The first person I see is wearing grey and red. I weave my way towards him, hoping it's Jack, but I can't really make out his face. I go to grab his shoulder, but I miss, dropping to my knees in the dirt. "Jack," I gasp. "Taylor's gone." |
