[CHAPTER 3--SCENE] Beyond Absentminded

Who: Yuri Lowell, Rita Mordio, Repede, Genis Sage
Where: Random island north of Chesedonia
When: After the CFY group boards the ship and is found out, then marooned on said random island
Warnings: Two pissy fonists and the possibility of being fried

Rita groaned, crossing her arms. She couldn't believe that they had been caught! She was certain to stay quiet and not move and be hidden at all times! Ugh!

...Now the three--fine, four if you included the mutt--of them were stuck on some random island with no way to continue on! Now she wouldn't be able to find Estellise, and...who knew what she would get herself into? Not to mention she was stuck with the brat, the mutt, and the idiot.

The researcher stepped away from shore and began pacing. Okay, there had to be something to do...or else they were stuck here forever. Frankly, the fonist did not savor that idea.

Genis now sat on the sand of the island they'd reached, soaked from all of the water he'd fallen into, elbows perched on his knees, and face set in his hands. He stared out at the water that surrounded them with a pout on his face, his gaze set almost in a glare which .. could be accurate, really.

I hate you. I hate you.

That water was in the way. It was separating him from possibly finding information on his sister's whereabouts. And the whereabouts of this other girl they were finding, but he wasn't nearly as worried about that as he was about his sister.

He really ... really wanted to just swim to Chesedonia. But was it possible? And once he got there, how would he be able to get in through the port side? Maybe some soldier would take pity on a poor, drenched little boy. He did have that appeal.

Genis sighed.

Okay. Gotta think of what can be done to get off of this thing. What resources did they have? What were the odds that, if they successfully completed some raft, it would float and successfully carry three humans and a dog to Chesedonia?

...

The odds? Those odds weren't good.

Genis slapped his forehead, burying his face into his hands.

"We're doomed," he said, the words muffled behind his hands.

Yuri was busy peering over the seas to the shores of Chesedonia, face set in grim lines as he placed a hand to his forehead. This was just beyond frustrating.

Honestly, if he'd been told he'd be stuck on an island surrounded by watery death, he'd have laughed. Now, though? Not so much. He sighed, muttered to himself as he rummaged through their supply of food -- at least that hadn't gotten wet.

But still... they were a long ways away from the mainland.

The more time he examined the place, the less he was liking it. Genis' words weren't helping the situation any.

"Seriously, Genis. Calm down." Yuri replied a little too calmly. "Look at it this way -- at least no one's died yet."

Good choice of words there, Yuri.

It's odd Repede and other humans ended up in an island. Repede can’t tell how long they will survive. With rations they stocked earlier, there’s probably won’t enough for about a week. Maybe they had to start searching for extra ration.

Repede sighed while biting the pipe. He crawled next to Genis and sulked together, it’s a bit humor for others to watch.

His ears twitched as he listened to Yuri’s word. That wasn’t funny, Yuri. Wasn’t funny at all.

“Wrrr… Woof! Woof!” He stood and cheered Genis, and anyone else. Although, a dog like him couldn’t help much.

Everyone was really cheerful. Okay, maybe the mutt was, but not so much for everyone else. Rita could not blame them. They were stuck in a pretty helpless situation. Sure, they had some food that would last a little while, but not for very long. After all, they had only packed to last until Chesedonia. The fonist sighed. She really wanted off this island.

"Yet." She repeated rather plainly with a look at Yuri. Really, the researcher hopes no one would die because...that just meant it'd be that much harder to find Estellise, wouldn't it?

"Well, anyway, we need to find some sort of shelter, don't we? I don't know about you all, but I'd rather not be out in the middle of nowhere on this island if it started raining."

Genis shot a glare at Yuri. Not. Funny. At. All.

He groaned, admitting to himself that Rita actually had a point. And then he pouted. And then he stood, stretching and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Okay. So let's get to work on that." As much as he wasn't optimistic about this predicament, he was willing enough to help out and make sure they were all safe.

After all, it'd be a shame if any of them died.

If Yuri saw the glares he was getting from his remark, he either didn't readct or was just indifferent about it, because, well. What did you expect?

Either way, though, Yuri stretched a bit, standing up and looking around the island for things to use in their makeshift shelter.

"Yeah... and then maybe we should figure out how to get off this thing once the shelter's done." he added as an afterthought.

Finally, they started to workout. If they keep sitting, nothing can help. But can a dog help them? Humans do all the heavy work and he just standing on their back.

Repede didn’t think something like that. He stood up and ran next to his permanent partner.

He crawled and glanced to Yuri without a bark. Yuri would already notice him and Repede only waited ‘an order’ what he should do next.

According to the situation now, they need woods or a cave to find a shelter. But this island never had a cave on Repede’s view. So they need to cut down the trees.

"Hmm...we'll have to figure out the tide to be able to do that." Rita replied to Yuri's afterthought. She gazed at the water in deep thought before turning to the other way. "Yeah, let's go look for something. I don't know if we will find something so much as to make it... If I saw the size of this place correctly, it's a little small." The fonist began to walk into the wooded area of the isle. She really would prefer shelter they did not have to create themselves, but...it might come to that.

Genis stood and followed after Rita, his hands behind his head as he looked around the island for anything that could make their lives a little easier right now.

"Let's check for a cave first and foremost. If there isn't one, then we'll have to find a way to cut down some trees. Then we'd have to learn how to work together," he said, the last line being quite sarcastic. He wasn't any happier about this than the others were, and it was becoming more and more obvious.

Yuri sighed, following after both fonists and whistling for Repede to follow as he glanced around. Nothing but trees so far.

"I didn't see anything resembling a mountain or a hill, so that might be moot." Yuri replied. "But we could still check." The sarcasm wasn't lost on the swordsman, and he frowned as he twirled his sword around boredly.

"Oh, a note -- if you two decide to start fighting again, blast the trees instead of each other. It'll save us to work of knocking them over ourselves."

Repede keeps tagging with Yuri and again he had nothing to do. He looked at those both kids, Genis and Rita. No wonder why Yuri asked to look after them. But it’s fun to watch them argue, he’s been looking for something to entertain him.

Listen to Yuri’s joke, he chuckles silently. True enough there’s only trees around. But if they want this canine to find out, it took awhile.

“Woof! Woof!” Repede barked to Yuri, if he let him search around the area. Maybe he could find a cave.

"Except most of the "trees" here are practically twigs, anyway." Rita muttered. Frankly, she didn't expect to see much. On the other side of the island, however, she thought there were more trees that weren't exactly...stupid. Actually, that would be hard, still, considering this whole island was stupid!

She almost thought that she'd rather be spending time with these idiots somewhere else than be alone on this stupid island. It was worse that she was stuck with both for now, of course. A small muse reminescent of Estellise chimed in that everything would be all right.

'Fine, fine... Make the best of it. Whatever.'

"Let's just find a way to survive here until we can find a way out of here, all right?" Genis grumbled as he walked with them.

( ooc: short tag is incredibly short. D: I'm so sorry, guys, I've been in and out lately )

Yuri nodded, rolling his eyes as he nodded. "Yeah. At this point, staying alive's our main priority." He shrugged, adding as an afterthought, "Though if someone manages to find something we could use to escape, then please, feel free to say as such."

Repede sighed. There's nothing else they could do unless to keep survive. They're right. Finding the way out is their main objective. Could they just create a boat or something?

Soon, he realized he wasn't standing on sandy terrain anymore. It's quite hard ground and trees were everywhere. Oh great! He didn't need a shelter. He approached one of the trees and lay under its shade.

"Looks like the mutt doesn't care about shelter for the rest of us. I don't think some measly trees like those are going to cut it." Rita grumbled after seeing Repede find a place under one. After all, trees can only keep so much water off of them. Their branches don't form solid barriers, only ones with various-sized gaps.

"Well, it can stay there for all I care." The fonist added. The brunette's eyes searched among the undergrowth for any signs of rockier climate. Rockier areas meant more of a chance for shelter, whether it was caves or an overhanging cliffside. After another few steps, she paused. There! Was it...perfect.

"Hey, I think we might find something nearby." She had caught sight of an almost trail-like structure off far to the side. "Come on." Regardless of whether the rest followed or not, she went off to follow the "trail."

((OoC: Aww :( *huggles Taco* Hope it all becomes...well..better!
Also, I apologize for lateness? Largish post to make up for it? ^^;))
