Dire Situations

[Kaya]

*cassandra looks over at danny, then picks up the oars.* if I row will you tell me when to stop? Zack can you please help to keep her warm?

[Shadis]

*Zack nodded and removed his dark grey hoodie and placed it on Danny. [Im assuming she shook off, so she's dryer now] He then held her close to him, in a non-creepy way. ( )His body heat was redicuilously high. It was as if he had the body heat of three people. Clearly more than just his mind was affected. Withing moments, Danny was quite warm. Suddenly, Zack shook his head and a much more happy expression came over his rather depressed face. Korey spoke* "Whow! What happened?!" *I then notice how close Danny and I are. I blush and back away.* "Ummmm, what did I miss while I was out?"

[Kaya]

*danny is sivering to hard but tries to speak anyway. The words are reducilously slurred. Cassandra stops her before she says anything.* she fell into the river and almst drowned. She needs to be kept warm to prevent her from going into hyperthermic shock.

[Shadis]

"Oh, well that explanes the half hearted snuggling. Zack generally trys to avoid death when convienent for him. Good thing I've the body heat of three people, huh?" *I put my hoodie around Danny and I so as to hold the heat in, and then hold her close, warming her once again.* "Think warm thoughts Ma'am. Also, Cass? I suppose now is as good a time as any to tell you were we are going. I know the location of a small pre-war fallout shelter, full of supplies. It was built to sustain a family of 5 for 5 years. We will be able to last much longer if we are careful. AND we arn't that far from it! Just a few miles down this river we will find an old, broken bridge. We get off their, and then I will guide us from their. Sound good?" *Korey smiles as he blushes from the warmth he's giving Danny.*

[Kaya]

Danny's shiverein starts to calm and she instinctivally snuggles closer to korey. Her breathing evens out as well and is fast asleep. Cassandra is facing them rowing down streem* that is great. Just please don't turn into your evil self when you hold her or I will kill you. So how long have you been like that? *she inquires as she rows*

[Shadis]

*In a quieter and more gentle voice, as to not awake the now sleeping Danny, whom he is now cuddling* "Oh, don't worry about him. Shadis can't easily take over when Im with friends, especially when Im snuggled up to someone I harbor no negative feelings for. If he taste blood, however, he will come usually no matter what. But since I feel quite full right now, and I dont want to know why, his blood lust is sated and we are in no danger. Worry not, for he won't be comeing as of now, or any time soon. And to answer your question, I- We've been like this for as long as we can remember. Perhasps even from birth. I cannot recall for sure. It's difficult when you suddenly wake up and your standing over a dead body you just ate, or you just cut yourself and are about to commit suicide.  But I love Zack and Shadis. They are the only family I have left. I would do almost anything for them, even if one is cronically depressed and the other criminally insane. They are still my brothers. Kind of, anyway." *I half shrug, half smile*
 
"If you don't mind me asking, as we all have secrets we keep to ourselves, whats your story? If we're going to be traveling together and spend several years cooped up together, shouldn't I know more than just your mysterious name?"

[Kaya]

My name is cassandra. I have some relitive control over fire...things seam to burn when I a around. It ued to be fun and cool until the house burnt to the ground kiling my family and putting me into goverment regulated, psycotherpy houses. As soon as all this happened I got lose and have been out seince.

(Thank you for waiting.    Thanks Kaya for moving my character.)
 
Danny curled up against him, enjoying sweet dreams.  Around them, the river increased, the river started to wash them closer to the rapids.  Ice did nothing to slow them.  Off to the side, the island passed by, trees full of snow and ice.  Among them, a large riverboat sat above even high tide.  The sides were intact and looked strong enough to hold off ice and most rocks, but topside seemed ready to fall in at any time.

[Shadis]

*Holding Danny* "I'm very sorry to hear that. It must be tough, Miss Cassandra. You probably wont want to, but I'll listen if you want to talk about it. I actually know my parents. Shadis lost alot of our memory when he learned his magic. I cannot recall what happened so many years ago. And honestly, I don't think I want to. Only Zack remembers what happened. He remembers everything. Every atrocity we've ever seen goes straight to him. That's why he's so sad all the time. All the pain that Shadis and I forget, he rememebrs. Especially what happened to our parents. I never ask because that memory makes him the most sad. I don't want to know about it."

[Aldrea945]

(I'll fill a little for her.)
 
Cassandra looked rather intrigued.  "You can speak with each of them?"

[Shadis]

"Yes, sometimes. Generally only when we sleep, but I can leave "Messages" of sorts that they hear in their brain when they next come in control. Zack never replys but I can tell he enjoys hearing my thoughts. Shadis, well, his messages always involve something gorey of sorts. Still, I know deep down underneith he cares for us at some degree. I'll never tell him that though!"
 
[This is definatly not possible IRL, but in a role play, who cares?  ]

[Kaya]

haha that is epic though.. )
 
i will if i ever feel the need to talk about it. *she smiles a bit at the gorey "messages" that Shadis must leave for Kastor and Zack.* come to think of it i do believe this is where we are going to get off yes? *she gestures to the island.*

[Shadis]

"Well, that depends. Are we going to my hidden fallout shelter? Or is their something importain on that large island. When Zack was incontrol he tried to throw us off of the tower again. I don't think he noticed anything of interest within it though. Just decide quickly Miss Cassandra. We will pass it soon!"

[Kaya]

(yes i am waking you up aldrea... as i do not know where we are going) *danny stirs and rubs her eyes a bit confused to why she was being held.* "nice to see you're not dead."

[Shadis]

*I gently release Danny* "Good morning-ish Miss Danny. glad to see we were able to warm you up in time. Sorry if you don;t like beign close to someone, especially someone you hardly know. We need to ask you something. I know the location of an old, pre-war fallout shelter that has supplies in it to last us for years. In order to get to it though, we need to pass the island and continue down the river for several miles. Is their anything of consequence on that island that we would want? We've already got a boat and if we are diligent, we will arrive at the shelter in the next day or so. What do you want?"
