{Third Case, Third Observation} A storm is coming.

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

[Ichabod is wearing his magnifying goggles and has spotted a storm off in the distance. He is now out and running to find as many people as he can to gather what then need to bring before the storm hits the tiny island.]

Everyone, I need to have your attention. There is a storm coming and it may be here during the night. I suggest that we gather what we need and find shelter at the volcano.

[He knows that sounds like a very poor set of odds but it was certainly better than being washed away or blown away when the storm hits during their sleep.]

[Skeptical Heather is skeptical.] So, uh, couple questions. A) How do you know a storm's coming and B) how is... a giant pit of spewing molten lava going to provide us shelter, exactly?

Tropical storms are generally noticable at least a day or so before they hit.

Although, I must agree; how will the volcano help..? I'm assuming you know whether or not it's dormant or not...

[GAH that is not the guy she was expecting to answer. She didn't even know these things could do three-way calls.]

Whoa there. Who the hell are you?

[Video] ((ooc: they can now >_>;;;;))

[scarsnscalpels.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I assume they can, since we're having one now.

My name is Black Jack; and you are...?

[Video] ((ooc: i think it's possible, heather's just bad with technology ^_^))

[Something about him is hitting her creeper alarm right off the bat. Maybe it's the card game name. Or the weird scar. Or the two-tone hair.]

Heather.

((He's used to it, don't worry =]))


[Noticing her discomfort but not showing that he noticed, he smirks]

It's a pleasure.

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

[She never cares enough to hide her feelings on creepers, anyway.] Yeah. I bet.

[scarsnscalpels.livejournal.com]

[Aw; he's not a creeper; just a rather greedy merc. Surgeon]

SUDDENLY A FIVE WAY CALL

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[Creeper status confirmed or no, have a baffled Eddie. He's cutting in on this like a champ]

Dude, do you do this everywhere? Cause last time I saw you, you scared the hell out of me by coming out of nowhere.

8D

[scarsnscalpels.livejournal.com]

Sorry, do I do what everywhere...?

To Purple: Sorry for this thread becoming completely unhinged >>

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

Like pop the fuck out of nowhere. Suddenly- BAM there. [Eddie probably makes no sense.] Cause, for a guy with crazy hair, you sure do ninja in, really fast.

I'm about to make a post anyhoo, so we can just move over to there ^^;;Sorry Purple DX

[scarsnscalpels.livejournal.com]

Ninja in...? [He laughs, and runs a hand through said crazy hair]

Thank you; yes, I guess I do. Sorry about that

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

Just dial back the sudden popping up and it'll be cool man. Its just off putting, specially for first meetings. [Eddie chuckles back, glad Black Jack doesn't mind hearing this.]

Would you rather take your chances being swept out to sea in a tent or move to a place that is at least stable enough to endure the storm? Either way, picking the lesser of the two evils is the best option we have unless we take the boats out to weather the storm and risk being lost to starvation and being completely lost at sea.

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

Okay, no one said anything about staying in the tents if it's really a typhoon or whatever. But I don't even see any clouds.

[Video]

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

[He sighs and removes the goggles.]

I am gathering my things. Should you choose to stay, I cannot stop you though I honestly would wish you would reconsider. If you would like to see for yourself, the dock is the best place to look.

[He walks off to gather his belongings at the campsite.]

[Video]

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

Uh. Okay. I guess I'll have a look. Thanks, Weatherman.

[He appears that he wants to roll his eyes but only shakes his head and sighs.]

My name is Ichabod.

[Video]

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

[She makes a face.] Dude, seriously? Ichabod?

[Video]

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

[His face falls flat.]

Yes. It was the name given to me by my father.

[Video]

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Now she feels kinda bad. 'Specially since that's where she got her name, too.]

Sorry. It's just... not a name you hear every day.

[Video]

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

[Despite that he's not fond of his father, he still loved him for bringing him up in a harsh world but hated him for what he's done.]

It is no fault of your own. I am growing accustomed to the colloquial speech that many have exhibited here. I am still adjusting.

[He gives a faint smile that's a bit shy but still firm.]

It was not a common name in my time either. I understand the reasoning behind the....reaction.

[Video]

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ohhhh. You're one of those guys from the past, then, right? It's probably stupid of me for not noticing. Are you from 1600-whatever or something? Uh, sorry, I'm really shit with history...

[She tries to smile as well. He's not nearly as creepy or mean as she thought at first glance.]

[Video]

[passes-out.livejournal.com]

Correct.

[His lips pressed together with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face then he gives a slight chuckle-scoff that depicted that he wasn't offended, just a little confused.]

No. I am from the year 1799. In your more modern terms, I am what is known as a post-Revolutionary citizen. You were close since the Salem witch trials were very well known even in my day and that event occurred in 1697 and lasted one year.

[hell-is-silent.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, sorry... I totally slept through most of history class... I know the Revolutionary war, though. That's a tough one to forget. And oh yeah, those damn witches. Or whatever they were.
