Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 3

Heidi was already outside the shed, having shed her poncho and rolled up her pants, wading aimlessly in the water. A wave would come, and she'd run back to shore to avoid getting her clothes wet, before running back out into the water. She momentarily wondered if Simon had ever seen the ocean.

[Big Uri]

Tom was meditating on top of his makeshift dwelling, though he was acutely aware of the Flow presences around him. He was enjoying his new freedom, and he had improved leaps and bounds during the week on both his Flow control, and his own attempt to achieve inner peace.

---------

Luke was still tossing and turning, though he no longer screamed or made the noises he had once made from his nightmares. He seemed a bit more withdrawn, however, and he had neglected to see any of the new additions to the village. He also chose to keep his distance from any Illuminati that entered the village.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Oi, Tombo, come out into the water! Bet you haven't been to the ocean in forever, it ain't any fun up there!" Heidi called up to Tom, completely ignoring the fact that he was meditating. She'd never been the most considerate person, though.

---

Kira blinked awake, looking over at Luke. At least he seemed to be getting better... She grew some flowers with relaxing scents on the walls, maybe to help him sleep a little better and at least stop tossing and turning, before simply covering the windows and door with leaves to let a little light in. She climbed down from the treehouse, humming happily to herself as she started preparing some sort of breakfast.

[Big Uri]

Tom grinned, glad to have Heidi back to normal. Besides, she was right, he hadn't been to the ocean in six years, despite being from an island. He stood up, dusting himself off, and promptly stepped off the edge of the roof. Almost subconsciously, the earth formed up underneath his feet, forming steps. He took off his shirt, rolled up his jeans, then rode the rock like a surfboard over to Heidi, hopping off beside her and forgetting the fact that, with all the time away from water, he was an awful swimmer, and that he was blind.

"This... could take some getting used to," Tom chuckled.

-----

Luke watched her go, not moving himself, but kept his silent vigil by the window. He had started leaving his knives near him when he slept, just like he had during the tournament, but he didn't have a proper reason for the growing paranoia.

[Book the Hero]

Joey opened his eyes, before sitting up and yawning, getting up early again for what was almost three weeks in a row. Less then a week ago, he had expanded the house to accomadate those, besides his wife, who would be staying there.

Well...Time to start the day. He thought, before getting out of bed to put some clothes on.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi laughed at Tom's awkwardness in the water. "It's just a little water," she told him, before looking out over the ocean. "Though I guess, what with Pangea, the ocean's really effin' big now."

---

Kira carefully lifted herself up into the treehouse again with a vine, carrying a woven basket full of various fruits. "Luke...you awake?" she asked cautiously.

[Creation of Pokerus]

"Hi!" A perky voice sounded from inside Joey's room, though there was no body to be found.
---
OOC: Yes, she just did that. :V

[Book the Hero]

Joey was silent for a moment. "...Leave."

[Big Uri]

"Who needs it?" Tom asked jokingly. Since he was standing beside Heidi, he himself was safely above water-level, being about a foot taller than her.

----------

Luke snapped to attention when he heard Kira coming up, before calming down.

"No," he replied easily.

[Creation of Pokerus]

"Who's to make me?" Kaylee grinned invisibly.

[Book the Hero]

"I can." Percival said, taking over after Joey finished putting on pants.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi scowled, looking at Tom, or rather, his shoulder. "Why're you so goddamn tall? Pisses me off!" she muttered, splashing around childishly in the water.

---

A look of worry crossed Kira's face, but it quickly went away as she held the basket out to Luke. "Are you hungry? I picked some fruit, if you want some..."

[Creation of Pokerus]

"Wait no don't!" Kaylee screamed. No clothes equaled...well you kinda know.

[Book the Hero]

"Then leave." Percival said.

[Creation of Pokerus]

"Damn you," Kaylee muttered, exiting the house via wall.

[Book the Hero]

Joey sighed as he got control again. "...I need to Flow-proof this place."

[Big Uri]

"Why're you so short?" Tom replied just as immaturely.

---------

"I am a bit, actually, thanks," Luke replied gratefully, taking an apple.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I'm not short, you're the giant!" Heidi retorted, splashing water at Tom.

---

Kira picked up a pear, pausing as she was about to bite into it. "Are you sleeping better?" she asked, looking over at Luke.

[Big Uri]

"I dunno, don't have a point of comparison," Tom laughed, putting his hands up in a futile attempt to shield himself from the splash.

----

"Yeah, I think so. I haven't woken you up any more, have I?" Luke asked, slightly worriedly.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Except for everyone in the village!" Heidi pouted, before remembering that Simon was almost taller than her, and taking her vengeance out on Tom be splashing him again.

---

"Not too much," Kira smiled, happy that Luke thought he was sleeping better as well.

[Big Uri]

"Well I don't know how tall they are. But I'm willing to bet they're taller than you, shorty," Tom replied, cringing.

-----------

"Oh good, I was worried I just wasn't being told," Luke smiled relievedly.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"It's not my fault Simon's become infected with your giant-ness!" Heidi retorted, before promptly being knocked over by a rather big wave and getting washed back to shore. "Dammit!"

---

"That's important, isn't it? I'd tell you if you kept yelling in your sleep..." Kira laughed, amused that Luke thought she could keep secrets that obvious.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika groaned a little as she sat up in bed, using the blanket to cover herself. "Was that Kaylee?"

[Book the Hero]

"Yeah..." Joey said, sighing as he sat down next to her. "We need to make it clear that she isn't allowed to just go into other people's houses..."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika nodded, rubbing her forehead. "Paul needs to tell her she's being a vouyer."
