week one, friday morning

[jettisons]

[Bellamy wasn't expecting things to go south this quickly and this brutally, and it's like a punch in the gut. Worse is the fact that it was poor Haru to go first, who was gentle and kind and far, far too good for this.

It takes him a bit to calm down from his initial anger, but when he does, he realizes Serph has disappeared. They need to figure out what the hell they're going to do, so Bellamy sets off to look for him, combing the beach. When he finally does, his voice is low and a little urgent.]

Serph. You okay?

For now. And what's the point where you hit "not fine"?

[varunastra]

I intend to get myself away from anyone before I reach it.

[ That, technically, is not an answer, but he wants to be clear that if he peaces out of the village entirely, and not just in the "sit somewhere quiet by myself for a bit" way, that is a very bad sign.

But even if he hasn't gone point of no return himself, he has seen it. More than once. ]

...the others transformed, involuntarily. And attacked indiscriminately. Friend, enemy - anyone they saw, they tried to devour.

[ Don't go crazy in the Junkyard. It's a bad time. ]

[jettisons]

So what can I do? We're partners, remember?

[Peacing out of the village isn't exactly a longterm solution.]

[varunastra]

I don't want to hurt anyone here.

[ He's very clear about that, too. ]

If we can't find another solution, don't let me.

[jettisons]

[Bellamy crosses his arms, letting out a sigh.]

Hiding from everyone isn't a solution. This island isn't big enough for that.

[varunastra]

[ Serph just. Looks at him.

Okay, so who are you suggesting he eat then. ]

[jettisons]

[Wow Serph, no one!!!]

I need to know what we're dealing with. No more vague answers or dodging the question. What do I need to do to make sure you stay fine?

[varunastra]

I need to eat.

[ So, unless you're offering an arm or something, yes, his plan is "go be a hermit before I try to snap someone's face off." ]
