FIFTY TWO ✖ VOICE/SPAM

[wedonot]

That was a bit of a rougher landing than usual. Has anyone been keeping track of who's gone missing? [An official head count of who fell overboard and who got lucky seemed like a good idea, in theory.]

[Private to the X-Fam]

I was thinking, considering our history with this sort of thing, [And yes, he's including himself in this, but he's allowed to >C at you kids/Erik for not being safer, too even though Erik's been pretty good at not doing stupid shit like almost getting strangled/beat up/stabbed to death, good job Erik.] it would probably be best to establish some kind of telepathic link to make sure we can still communicate with each other and call for help if necessary.

[Or, you know, stick together, that would be good, too.

And yes, he is planning on going out whether you guys are or not because SCIENCE!!]

[It's probably ridiculous, to venture out into a port, especially considering his history with this sort of thing, but he has his telepathy and gear to survive underwater - thankfully no gills - and that's good enough for him.

He's a scientist, and despite past scares - anything involving the Vanquish was safely boxed up out of sight, out of mind for the time being - he does get a little stir crazy on the Barge. There's only so much reading and revising and chess you could stand before you wanted a change in scenery, and so he'd left the ship, and started exploring. He can feel the hum of intelligent minds somewhere out in the blackness, but they seem distant and largely nonthreatening, so he doesn't bother them, even if he keeps a mental ear out, just in case.

Just because he's willing to take a risk doesn't mean he's going to be stupid about this.

While he doesn't wander too far from the light of the Barge, the ruins end up interesting him more than the wrecks. He's no archaeologist, but he's still got questions about how this city wound up on the bottom of the ocean, and he's careful in handling any artifacts, generally just brushing off grime rather than picking them up and playing with them.

And maybe mentally chattering to Erik occasionally about anything particularly interesting, or any theories he might have about it. Maybe Atlantis really was real in this world, wherever it was.]

[ooc: Feel free to play with the timeline a little if it works better for you/your character, I don't have anything super specific planned for Charles for this port, so multiples/fuzzy time/etc. is totally cool with me. c:]

[Jean is blinking blearily, fingers ghosting down her distinctly transformed neck.]

We're in port?

...I guess that would explain the gills.

[And the ears, but she hasn't noticed those yet.]

I'm trying to count people as they leave.

[Kevin's just going to watch this strange person who's come a bit too close to his hideout. He just seems to be looking for now. Well, and cleaning. This is Kevin's hideout. He doesn't want anyone finding his stash. But... Maybe it's okay, since this thing isn't actually taking anything.]

[It hadn't been long since the breach had started and Kal had fallen overboard. He was still... a little fearful of the newcomers and a little worried about them, so he had spent most of his time hiding under the debris and ruins as he kept an eye on them.

Kal's tail is slightly a translucent blue under the water, but he was hoping he still wouldn't be seen. What he didn't know was that his own thoughts and mind were like a flashlight to Charles under the loneliness underwater.]

[Most of the new arrivals wandering throughout his peoples' domain have some kind of modifications to match the setting, which is curious in and of itself; but not this one. This one has mechanical equipment and that brings the phosphorescent blue and bright yellow young merman in closer than he would normally trail, blatantly curious.

And maybe, just maybe, it's not as accidental as it appears when Charles pokes his head into one of the crumbling buildings and it's occupied by someone who might look a little familiar. Ben, like quite a few others, managed to somehow fall overboard.]

You're not going out there. [ARE YOU CRAZY CHARLES, BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN OUT THERE]

Yeah, definitely. Do I have to do anything, or just hang around waiting to hear Erik complaining in my head?
