Who: ANTS ... and Blanks I guess.
Where: The commons area to the west of Pyxis
When: Day 144, Late
What: :D

[It's pretty far from civilization, but a double column of giant cave ants marching in WILL attract attention.

The first of the colony seem to establish perimeters, cutting or biting lines in the ground.. Others come after, dragging blocks and wood...

There is some large scale construction going ... and happening fast.]

HA HA! Easy on the west wall there! Solid! No holes!

[A VERY CLEARLY UPSET HYDRA IS RUSHING UP TO YOU]

RIVER! River, we need to talk now!

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

Scowl--? What is it?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Where is the Tenth?

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

. . .?! [wow. the weight of that statement immediately passes over]

What? What happened?

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU NOT KNOW?! Cloud said one of your fucking teammates told him he was—he's—






[g-gestures helplessly at the swarm of worker ants]

. . .

That can't be true. I check every. . .

[takes off running towards his place]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Hey—hey!

[takes off after him]

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

He wasn't on the list this morning!

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Then maybe . . . maybe that guy was lying! Just fucking with Cloud!

[After the talk has settled down and Scowl is starting back...

There's a sharkling waiting, leaning against a rock nearby. As Scowl gets close, he pushes away from it to follow him back.]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[Glances at him when he moves, vaguely surprised for all of a second. He doesn't pause but slows for a moment, considering, then gives him a slight nod before continuing back on towards the ant construction]

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Returns the nod and falls into step without a word, walking just a little behind and to the right of Scowl.]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[It's one goddamn somber trudge back. When the ants are in sight again he slows to a halt, shoulders tightening up uneasily]

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Glances at Scowl... and keeps moving with a faint tug on Scowl's uniform, albeit slower... circling around the industrious ants.]

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[heeesitates before giving in, falling into step with him]

[be_my_chum.insanejournal.com]

[Sort of kind of watching the ants as they pass too. Many have distinctive marks or personalities...

As he's glancing here and there, there's a terrible feeling that a Tsuna ant will be the most super normal ant ever.

In a sea of super normal ants.]

[at some point before Dera gives you the bad news, a particularly big and grumpy ant twitches at you]

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

[... |D BIG AND GRUMPY ANT]

Hey there. Working hard?

[antnonymous.insanejournal.com]

[makes a vague grumbling noise. nips at a chair and drags it along.]

[breaking_waves.insanejournal.com]

Haha. You remind me of someone. I wonder if it could be. . .
