Mason watched Drew silently before looking up at Paisley and, up
further, Sanaki and sighed as he considered this a failure.
Paisley practiced her newfound ability of Telekinesis by floating
two leaves and passing them back and forth between her index
fingers, still heavily annoyed.
"Anything? I don't feel like getting jumped today." Luke yawned,
leaning against a tree, the adrenaline was wearing off, but his
fists were still a live charge.
Will wakes up with a headache, in an unfamiliar place. He looks up
and sees trees, and some blood around him. Am I? Alive? I
thought they killed me, oh well. Will slowly changes to a
sitting position, feeling a lot of pain in his legs. He looks
around, and realises that someone probably had left him here
because they didn't want to Cary him all the way back to the
academy. He sees a bullet scar on his hand, and a hole in his
pants. Of course I fell down, silly me, they hit me in the
leg. He looks around for his pistols, and sees that they were
confiscated.
After a while Trinity walked around the border of camp for a while
before going back in the middle and sat down by herself and leaned
her head back, closed her eyes and fell asleep on the ground.
Will stands up, and slowly starts to walk towards the direction he
had been heading, towards freedom. He stops after five minutes of
slow walking to check his wounds, and leans against a tree and
attempts to use his fingers to pull the bullet out of his leg. He
feels the bullet, but he can't move it, so he sits down and closes
his eyes to sleep.
[Wait, Will isn't with the group? i'm confused]
Paisley, after eventually calming down, hovered down to the ground
slowly, taking off the uniform and revealing a tight tank top and
athletic shorts underneath. "My boots don't match my outfit
anymore..." she mumbled to herself.
Mason, on the other hand, was sound asleep against a tree.
Sanaki had fallen asleep sitting on a tree stump. Drew was still
awake, and hearing Paisley, she rolled her eyes. "We're on the run
from the government who is trying to murder us. Or worse. I think
boots are the least of our problems." She snapped.
"I think it looks fine." Amara said walking up to Paisley. She was
wearing something that was the complete opposite of the school
uniform. She had a red tank top with a pair of black shorts, but
she still had the uniforms boots on. Now that she had nothing
covering her arms, a black snake with shimmering scales that were
many different shades of green was wrapped around her arm. It's
head started on the upside of her wrist and the tail end at her
elbow. It looked almost like a tattoo. C was wrapped loosely around
Amara's neck.
"I wasn't talking to you." Paisley shot in the same tone of voice,
glaring up at Drew as she did so.
She then turned to Amara and shook her head, still upset and simply
ignored the girl. "I'm going into the city and buying a new outfit
when the sun comes up." she informed indirectly to anyone who was
listening. She then ventured off 15 feet away or so and built
herself a make-do tent out of large leaves, branches and logs,
closed by a large rock, which she struggled to move with
Telekinesis.
Luke tore off his uniform and dug around in his bag, taking out his
old fighting clothes. "Jeez, I haven't worn this in forever." He
smiled, it was a dark blue tank top, brown khaki shorts, and a
black cut off hood. He thought back to the adventures he had with
his brother and allies. He remembered how Tanith would always wake
him up for training by using her vines to throw him out the window,
and Kyoto would always give him the heaviest training clothes, and
increase the gravity around him. Luke thought to himself why he
ever stopped fighting to begin with, the rush was such a blast to
him.
Will takes some of the ripped bits of duct tape from his pocket,
and fashions a splint for his leg. He finds a stick with a y
formation, and uses it as a crutch. He starts slowly moving towards
civilization, when he sees something shiny on the ground, he
examines it and sees that it is a bullet. He looks around and sees
some empty shells. Am I going in the wrong direction? Or is this
something else?[i] Will leaves it there and walks further. [i]I
wonder if mason could sense me if I'm this far away from him?
He thinks, as he leans against a tree, and douses off into a short
nap.

Mason, being the natural "earlybird", woke up at the crack of dawn,
noticing most of everyone else asleep. He notices Paisley's "tent"
and peeks inside to see her sound asleep. He takes note of
everyone, noticing Will had been missing. He panics as Will has a
history of being -- rather violent and impulsive. He rushes over to
Sanaki and shakes her violently. "Sanaki! Will's gone." he repeats
until she wakes.
Will is now almost 3 fourths of the way through the less dense area
of the forest, about a fourth of the actual forest itself. After
taking several quick stops to check his splint and by a fruit tree
for nourishment, he decides he had gone pretty far, considering
that without these injuries he could've made it this far much, much
faster.
Sanaki instantly woke up, an expression of shock on her face.
"What?" She yelled, then instantly calmed down. "Well, we should
have expected that..." She sighed, standing up. "Honestly, going
after him is going to be more trouble than running from the
League."
He stops, and sees a small stream. He gets down on the ground, and
drinks, before getting back up very slowly, and continuing his
journey towards civilization.
Mason sighed at Sanaki's response. "Does anyone here have anything
of his? Maybe I could force a Premonition to figure out where he
is..." he contemplated.
Paisley woke up to the sound of Sanaki's shout. She groaned as she
punched the debris that made up her tent, it falling down like the
blocks of Jenga. "What's going on?" she asked in a mumble.
Will feels his splint slip, so he takes off his shirt and uses it
to tie the splint firmly into place. He leans against a tree to
make sure the knot is secure, and continues walking.
Trinity woke up in a state of panic after the yell but calmed down
after seeing no one. She walked over to Sanaki and Mason "What was
that yell about?"
Drew, who was awake at the crack of dawn today and almost all days,
spoke up. "Will escaped, we don't know where he is. And yes, before
you ask, again." Drew rolled her eyes as she stretched.
Sanaki shook her head. "I don't think I have anything of his.
Except 'fond' memories." She frowned, sarcasm flaring up in her
voice. "Sorry for yelling, Trinity."
