USS Cherokee 10402.22 Cavern Adventure Part 13

Host Anna says:
Another day has past, and morning has come to the amnesiac crew.

Host Anna says:
What will today bring?  Hopefully Anna has spoken to the village chief, and will return with food to help them survive.

Host Anna says:

Host Anna says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Tehana says:
::feeling more confident about her surroundings as each moment passes by, even though she is feeling extra tired on this day::

Host Anna says:
@::walking to the storage area.  The chief has said she may take them food for a week, but after that, discussions will have to take place::

Host Lettle says:
::Stretches and rolls from the window sill, landing on the sand outside.::

Tina says:
::Tina awakens in Anna’s village.  Opens her eyes to realize she has been separated from the rest of the group and is now alone in a hut similar to the hut she went to sleep in last night.  Her thoughts also turn to James and Ted and the rest of the group.  She wonders where they are, how they’re getting along.::

Host Ted says:
::Ted makes his way out of the hut, looking for the love of his life, Tina::

Tina says:
::Looking around the small hut she’s been placed in, she notices her clothes have been replaced with native clothing.  She is no longer wearing the uniform she had on.  She is now wearing a short skirt and a bikini top.  She looks around for her clothing, but it is nowhere to be found.::

James_Loud says:
:: slowly wipes the sleep from his eyes ...looking to find the other side of his bed empty he looks confused....walking out of his hut and looking around.::

Host Anna says:
Roman:  If you would please, can you help me load this onto a cart?  There are many people that have to be fed. ::smiling at her husband to be::

Tina says:
::The hut’s contents are primitive consisting of a hammock and a large rock used as a table to hold fruit and vegetables.  She picks up an apple and starts to eat it, realizing that she is very hungry at this point.::

Leea says:
::slowly opens her eyes and stares at the ceiling of the small hut::  Self: Where am I?

Tina says:
::After filling her stomach with fruit and vegetables, she decides to explore the village where she has been brought.  She walks over to the door and peaks outside.  She can hear children laughing and playing.::

James_Loud says:
:: starts to walk around the makeshift village...looking around to see if he can spot Tina. ::

Host Ted says:
::Seeing Mr. Loud, he shoots him a look and moves out to find Tina::

Host Lettle says:
::Tenses up as he hears a squeal from under a bush.  Turns and sees a predator has caught a small, six legged creature.  Wonders why he feels sorry for it, it's just a meal.::

James_Loud says:
:: catches the look Ted gives him...he shrugs his shoulders and continues his search for Tina ::

Host Anna says:
<Roman>  Anna:  Yes my love.  Your wish is my command!  ::grinning at her, begins to pick up the sacks and loads them onto the cart::

Tehana says:
::she stretches some, then walks out of her hut, in hopes she might catch a glimpse of Naston, but once outside, she finds out that he is off gathering supplies, and may be back within the hour::

Host Lettle says:
::Figures why doesn't matter, and grabs the much larger predator.  Another meal for the food bins.  This job is easy with a shelter to hide in.::

Host Ted says:
::seeing Tehana:: Tehana: Hey, have you seen Tina around?

Tina says:
::As she exits the hut, she notices the hut is made of reed and wood.  The huts are grouped into small villages and are surrounded by fields.  She notices that each hut appears to have its own vegetable garden, a shelter place for animals, and there is a common meeting place in the center.::

Tehana says:
::looks at Ted::  Ted:  Sorry Ted, I haven't.

Leea says:
::sliding off her bed she looks at her clothes and is puzzled but fixed her bed and eats some fruits she finds and walks out into the yard::

Host Anna says:
::putting her hand up to her eyes, to shield it from the morning light, she sees the stranger emerging from her hut::

Host Ted says:
Tehana: Oh, ok. Let her know that I am looking for her if you see her.

James_Loud says:
:: continues to look about...not really stopping to ask since this bunch has given its opinion of himself. ::

Tehana says:
Ted:  Sure thing.

Host Anna says:
ACTION:  The children just smile and stare at Tina.  No one says anything to her.

Tina says:
::She walks up to some of the children who are playing in the street.  She does not see any adults at this point.::  Children: Well hello there?  Where is your mother or father?

Tina says:
::The children look at her, smile, and continue to play.  They will not speak to her.::  Children: Perhaps you do not understand me.  Can you take me to your mom and dad?  Is there anyone here I can talk to?

Host Ted says:
::sees Lettle:: Lettle: Hey, have you seen Tina? I can't find her anywhere?

James_Loud says:
:: starts getting frustrated...calling out Tina's name :: Tina : TINA?

Tina says:
::The children again look at her, smile, and then get up and run away.  Totally stumped by the secludity, she begins to wander the village, looking for something, a sign, anything that is familiar to her.  Has she been here before?  Does she know these people?::  Self: Give me a sign.  Something to tell me who I am, please!

Naston says:
:: Is standing next to Tehana.::

Tina says:
Self: I think for the time being, I will call this place Xanadu.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: That's your mate, right?  No, I don't think so.  I've only seen a few people from the edge of the village.

Host Ted says:
::hears Loud calling for Tina and joins in:: Out Loud: Tina! Where are you?

Tehana says:
::looks over as Naston is standing next to her::  Naston:  When did you get back?  I just asked where you went.  Someone said you were gathering supplies.

James_Loud says:
:: Hears Ted calling out for her and is starting to get really concerned.  Swallowing his pride he starts to walk up to him. ::

Host Ted says:
Lettle: I am starting to get scared. Maybe we should go look for her?

Naston says:
:: Looks back at her.:: Tehana: So I'm quicker than you thought. I found what we need for now.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Which hut was hers?

Host Anna says:
::begins her journey to the strangers, hoping she brought enough food::

Host Ted says:
::points:: Lettle: I think that's it over there.

James_Loud says:
:: slowly approaches Lettle and Ted..looking as if he would rather be on fire than in front of them. ::

Tina says:
::She walks into the common area.  She notices now there are women walking around the common area, preparing food.::  Women: Excuse me?  Can you tell me where I am?

Tehana says:
::chuckles::  Naston:  I hope you found enough for everyone here.

Host Lettle says:
::Moves quickly to the hut, dropping to the ground in front of the door, examining the foot prints around the door for fresh prints.::

Leea says:
::looking around the area::  Self: This is cool.  Big beautiful blue sea and lots of blue sky.  Look at all the huts and sand.  I have never seen so much sand so beautiful in my life.

Host Ted says:
::follows Lettle in search of his love::

Host Anna says:
::grabs a fruit and eats as she finds her way to the beach.  This will be a long journey.

James_Loud says:
:: sighs then decides to bite the bullet.  Ted: Ted, come out here for a second.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Have you looked inside?  I don't see or hear any signs of her leaving this morning, and their are no other prints.

Host Ted says:
::hears Loud and exits the hut:: Loud: What is going on? When was the last you saw Tina?

Tina says:
::The women go about their business.  They make eye contact with her, but do not speak to her.  Are they afraid?  They do not look afraid.  Maybe they do not speak, but then she listens closer and hears them whispering to each other.::

James_Loud says:
:: Looks like he would rather not answer, but does. :: Ted : I last saw her last night, over by the beach.

Host Ted says:
::is surprised to hear that:: Loud: That's odd, she said she was going to her hut last evening. That's the last I saw of her.

Tina says:
::Their language is familiar.  She knows it.  It is the same language she speaks, but she does not understand why they will not speak to her.::

Host Anna says:
::begins to hum a little tune, to keep herself company.  The thought had not crossed her mind how the stranger got there, her being there was enough::

James_Loud says:
Ted: Yeah, well...that was kinda the thing....I thought that was where she was going too.

Host Ted says:
Loud: Where could she have gone? Maybe we should look for her. This doesn't feel right.

James_Loud says:
:: nods :: Ted: For once we agree.  Maybe we should grab the others...the more eyes we get the better the chances of finding her.

Tina says:
::Smells fresh food being baked.::  Self: Smells like fresh bread.

Host Lettle says:
James/ Ted: I was awake at least a couple of times last night, and I didn't see anyone leave the village, or enter it.  And this is the largest predator I've seen about, so I'd guess she's safe.  ::Holds out the recently caught, Toy Collie dog sized predator.::

Tehana says:
::she goes for a walk on the shoreline, confusing images keep popping in her mind. She hopes the walk can clear her mind for a little while at least.::

Host Ted says:
Loud/Lettle: Maybe she just went for a walk or something, let's meet up with the others and discuss this.

James_Loud says:
Ted: I don't know Ted.  What if she's hurt....while we're wasting time talking about it she could be bleeding...I say we go look for her!

Host Lettle says:
::Nods.:: James: Yes, but there are only 3 of us.  Let's get the others.  If we're going to work together, let's use that.

Host Ted says:
Loud: Well, you just said we should grab the others and I was agreeing.

James_Loud says:
:: takes a rare moment and calms down...remembering his promise to Tina. :: Ted/Lettle: Okay, lets do things your way.

Tina says:
::Walking around the common area, she sees the primitive baking utensils.  She motions to the women that she is going to try some of the bread.  She takes a small piece of bread and some broth from a large vat.::

Host Lettle says:
::Nods, relaxing muscles I didn't recall tensing.::  Ted/ James: Then let's move.  Numbers will help, but time is of the essence.

Tina says:
::She observes potatoes and yams baking over an open fire, along with some fresh fish cooking in a skillet.::

Host Ted says:
Loud: Look, this is not a competition. Whatever way helps us find Tina safe is the way I say we go. ::walks over to Tehana and Naston:: Tehana/Naston: We need to talk.

James_Loud says:
:: holds his tongue. stepping back and letting Ted talk. ::

Naston says:
Ted: Sure.

Tehana says:
::turns to look to see Naston is with her then Ted shows up::  Ted:  Sure, lead on.

Naston says:
:: Moves with them.::

Host Ted says:
Tehana/Naston: Tina has apparently gone missing and we need to find her. How do you want to handle the search?

Tina says:
::The skillet is a glass baking dish that is heating the fish over the open flame.  She fills her stomach with the bread and moves on to explore the village area.::

Tehana says:
Ted:  What has been done so far?

Host Lettle says:
::Keeps sniffing the air, listening for sounds, squinting from the (relatively) bright light looking for signs.::

James_Loud says:
:: speaks up :: Tehana : Southern part of the camp...the beach front...I've already covered those.

Host Ted says:
Tehana: We have searched around the huts and no signs. Lettle says that he was up during the night and saw nothing. So, we are clueless.

Naston says:
Ted: Where might she have gone?

Host Anna says:
::reaches the shore and begins her long trek to the strangers camp::

Tina says:
::As she walks out of the common area, she decides to go back to try to strike up conversation with the women.::

Host Ted says:
Naston: I don't know, but knowing her she was probably out trying to find us all food.

Tehana says:
Loud:  Thanks for the update.  ALL: Where was the last time any of  you saw her?

Host Lettle says:
All: Perhaps she woke early and went to one of the other villages?  As the lights dimmed, I could see their smoke last night.

Tina says:
::One woman walks past her.::  Woman: Excuse me, can you …  ::The woman does not stop, and keeps going.::

James_Loud says:
Lettle: That sounds like her...she might be there now....trying to get food.  What say you and me check that out Tall Dark and Furry?

Host Ted says:
ALL: Maybe Anna might know. Didn't she say she was coming back?

Naston says:
Tehana: Last time I saw her she was near the camp. But that was before I began foraging.

Tehana says:
Ted:  I vaguely recall Anna saying she would.

Tina says:
::Feeling frustrated, she decides to help the woman with their chores.  She picks up a lump of dough and starts kneading it with the women.  She watches them place the dough in glass pots for baking.  She places hers in a glass pot also.  She smiles at the woman she is next to hoping to make a friend.::

Host Lettle says:
All: Which way did she go when she left?  I was out hunting when she left, and from the smoke trails there have to be half a dozen villages along the beach.

Host Anna says:
::pauses the horse-like creature, and looks out to the sea, wondering if the strangers came from across it::

Tehana says:
Lettle:  Last time I saw her, she was walking with Ted last night.  ::then looks suspiciously at Ted::

Host Ted says:
ALL: Last time I saw her, she was heading off to bed. ::looks quizzically at Tehana::

Leea says:
::looks at the rest of them and then looks on the ground for any signs of tracks or anything else to help find Tina::

James_Loud says:
:: speaks up rather meekly :: ALL: She was with me late last night.

Tehana says:
Ted:  Are you SURE you are telling us everything, Ted.

Naston says:
Tehana:: Last time I saw her was before I went foraging.

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: No, I meant Anna.  If "Tina" went for help, she'd likely head towards Anna's village.  Easier to deal with someone you know.

Tina says:
::Still receiving no response from the women, she continues to kneed another loaf of bread.::

Host Ted says:
::spins around to face Loud:: Loud: What do you mean, late last night?

Tehana says:
Lettle:  I stand corrected.

James_Loud says:
:: winces a little. :: Ted: She and I spent well....some time together last night.

Host Lettle says:
::Leaps between them, hair bristling.:;  Ted/ James: Enough!  Do you want to find her or waste time bickering?!

Host Ted says:
::tries to suppress the urge to kill:: Loud: What did you do to her you psycho?

Tehana says:
::then looks suspiciously at Loud then back to Ted::  Ted/Loud:  One of you two must have done something to her.  I have half the notion to "arrest" you for suspicious actions.

Tehana says:
Ted/James:  Both of you, stand down NOW!

James_Loud says:
:: shoots a look to Tehanna:: Tehanna: You can't arrest unless you have probably cause or a motive...lacking that you can't do jack!

Host Lettle says:
Ted/ James: I don't know your species mating rituals, and I don't want to.  All I want is to find her, and we need everyone for that.  You wanted me to be your hunter, and now we have new prey.  I need help.

Tehana says:
James:  I can, since I was voted by a majority vote as the leader of this village.

Host Anna says:
::starts the cart once again and begins moving down the beach.  Three more miles and she will be at their camp::

Host Ted says:
ALL: All of you shut up! I don't care what you have to say, except for Mr. Loud. Now, what did you do, you better tell me before I get violent.

Leea says:
All:  Hold it. Stop yelling at each other.  You all must stop accusing each other.  There is too much accusation going on here!!!!!  ::face turns red with anger::

James_Loud says:
:: Has had about all he can stand of being accused and screamed at. :: Ted : Ted, zip it.  Me and her made love last night..okay.  We started talking and next thing we knew, it happened.

Leea says:
ALL:  The fact that Tina is missing is the first thing we all should be working on.  Not accusing each other.  ::gets even redder and is now yelling::

Host Ted says:
Loud: Yea, you wished. Like I would believe that Tina would sink that low. You have 3 seconds to tell me the truth!

Leea says:
::walks into the middle of everyone::

Host Lettle says:
::Growls, low but steady.::  All: This isn't the time.  Do you want to work together and survive as a group or try your luck out on your own?  I can handle being alone, but it is far easier working together!

Tehana says:
::she suddenly feels a bit nauseated and her face turns white::

Leea says:
ALL:  SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!

Leea says:
:: sees Tehana turn white::

James_Loud says:
:: doesn't bother answering Ted ....looking to Leea :: Leea: Sorry...but that’s the last I saw her.

Naston says:
All: Can we calm down a little here?  This is not helping.

Host Ted says:
Loud: Looks like I will have to beat it out of you. ::tackles Loud, thrashing him::

Leea says:
ALL: We can't start going at each others throats.  We must find Tina first before you all start trying to figure out who did what and where and when.

Host Lettle says:
::Reaching down, trying to separate Ted from James despite a major size difference.::

Leea says:
:: is pushed and comes up fighting and stepping in and helps Lettle separate the two fighting::

Naston says:
:: Moves over and separates Loud and Ted, holding them up by their shirt collars.::

Tehana says:
::she composes herself::    ALL:  As your appointed leader, I command all of you to keep quiet, while I think.

Tina says:
::She finishes the last loaf of bread, places it in a glass baking dish, and decides to take a look around the village.::

Leea says:
::watches Tehana carefully now::

James_Loud says:
:: rolls Ted off of him with a vicious kick, standing up and wiping a trickle of blood from his lip. :: Ted:  Listen you meathead....I didn't hurt her.  Now listen to freaking reason.

Tina says:
::She sees men sitting around a fire blowing glass, and making the glass baking dishes.::

Leea says:
ALL: And as long as I am alive, you will all stop this bickering!  We have to find Tina now!

Host Ted says:
::tries to get free:: Loud: You are a dead man! You better have not harmed one hair on her head.

Host Lettle says:
Naston: Thanks.  ::Picking himself up after being thrown clear.::

Tehana says:
Leea:  Enough!

Host Anna says:
ACTION:  Loud and Ted are now being held by Naston.

Tehana says:
ALL:  ENOUGH All of you.

Leea says:
Tehana: I am wondering are you all right???

James_Loud says:
:: shakes his head and doesn't struggle...trying to stay calm.  ::

Host Anna says:
::another mile has been walked on her journey to bring food::

Tehana says:
Leea:  Yes, I will when everyone stops and listens to me.

Host Ted says:
Naston: Let go of me, now!

Host Lettle says:
Ted: He'll let you go when you calm down.  You were reasonable yesterday, let's hear it again.

James_Loud says:
Tehanna:  Listen, I didn't hurt her. I swear.  I couldn't......I love her.

Leea says:
Tehana: I am trying to help get all of them to stop as well.  Fighting will not accomplish anything and it makes my blood boil when I see bickering.

Tina says:
::She attempts to make first contact with the men blowing the glass.::  Men: Excuse me? Have you seen anyone that looks like me walking around here?  ::The men don't even look at her.  They continue to go about their business.::

Tehana says:
ALL:  Not everyone at once.  Now James, what was bombshell you just revealed?

Host Ted says:
Loud: Love, she could never love you.

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: What are we going to do?  We need a decision, something to get our minds focused.

Tehana says:
Ted: No one is talking to you YET, wait your turn.

Leea says:
::standing close to Tehana::

Tehana says:
Lettle:  I'm getting there, have a little patience.

Host Ted says:
Tehana: Who died and made you queen, lady? I'll speak when I want to!

James_Loud says:
Tehana: Last night Tina came over to talk with me...things got heated up and...well....its not like we wanted to hurt Ted.  Like I told you before, were not enemies.  We...we made love....she went back to her hut and I stayed out for a little while longer before returning.

Tehana says:
Ted:  I can by a majority vote.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: We did, when we selected her leader.  You were part of the vote, back when you were sensible.

Tehana says:
James:   All right, but you do realize you have no alibi.

Leea says:
::glares at Ted::

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: Yes, he does.  Or at least confirmation.  I saw her enter her hut, just about the time I woke up the first time.

James_Loud says:
:: nods :: Tehana: Look, I know I was a royal pain in the neck yesterday...I'm...still having difficulty keepin a hold on my anger....but...I didn't hurt her.

Host Ted says:
Lettle: Yea, well I voted for the other guy, Cat Man.

Tehana says:
Lettle:  Excellent. Good work.

Tehana says:
James:  All right simmer down a few degrees, you are off the hook.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: The price of democracy.  Sometime you don't get your choice.

James_Loud says:
Naston: Can you let me go big guy....I won't go jumpin Mr. Sensible over there.

Tehana says:
::turns her attentions to Ted::  Ted:  So, Ted, where and when was the last time YOU saw her?

Tina says:
::Continuing to walk around the village, and notices the vegetable gardens along each of the huts.  The gardens are filled with potatoes, yams, carrots, green beans, all kinds of vegetables.  There are also fruit trees in the area.  She reaches up and grabs an apple to hold on to.::

Host Ted says:
Lettle: Yea, real democratic. I got this big Oaf strangling me while Loud talks about how he violated my girl.

Tehana says:
Naston:  Let Mr. Loud go.  James:  But don't go far.

Host Lettle says:
::Nods at Naston before waving over the yet to be renamed Security Officers.::

Leea says:
::she is listening to all of them clear or attempt to clear their names::

James_Loud says:
:: nods...walking a little ways off.  Just to get away from Ted.::

Host Anna says:
::shields her eyes from the morning sun.  One more mile to go before she reaches them::

Host Ted says:
Tehana: I got nothing to say to you.

Tehana says:
Ted:  Well in that case, you are to remain in custody.   Lettle:   Keep him restrained somewhere. I know you'll find a way to keep him in one spot.

Tina says:
::She tosses the apple in the air.  Attempting to catch it, she misses it and it hits her on the head.::

James_Loud says:
:: rubs the split in his lip and tries not to turn his head..knowing he would just knock the silly right out of Ted if he could. ::

Tina says:
Self:  Ouch!

Host Ted says:
Tehana: You can't do that. Naston: Let go of me, now!

James_Loud says:
All: I don't think it was Ted either.

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: Not a good move right now.  We need everyone to help find Tina.  He shouldn't be alone, but we need his help.

Host Anna says:
::looking down the beach, she sees the strangers::

Tehana says:
Lettle:  All right, BUT you are to remain with him during this search, and take a few of the "guards" with you.

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: In fact, I suggest we pair up and start looking for her now.

Host Ted says:
ALL: Think about it morons, if I would have killed Tina, why didn't I just kill all of you too, especially Loud.

Leea says:
Tehana: I ate dinner and left for the hut and some sleep.

Host Lettle says:
All: And if she was killed, where's the blood?  The signs of struggle?

Tehana says:
Leea:  Okay.   ALL:  As for me, you all saw me, retire to my hut.  I promptly went to bed.

Host Ted says:
::wonders to himself how he could be connected with all of these idiots::

Tina says:
::Walks back over to the apple tree, picking more apples and thinking maybe they won't mind if she takes a few back to her hut where she guesses she'll be sleeping tonight.::

James_Loud says:
:: looks in the distance. :: All: Whatever you guys decide we better do it quick...I think Anna is coming.

Host Lettle says:
All: I agree, we've wasted far too much time bickering about who did what.  This isn't the time for it.  We'll get answers when we find her.

Host Ted says:
ALL: What about you, Cat Man? Maybe you got up for a midnight snack? If you even looked at her the wrong way, then you have signed your death warrant!

Tina says:
::She wonders what the others are doing and if they are trying to find her.::  Self: I guess I have to think about a lot of things anyway.  I am thoroughly confused.

Host Anna says:
::watching their body language, she wonders if she should approach, after all, the chief did say they could be very dangerous::

Leea says:
::hands on hips:: Ted: PLEASE!!!

Host Anna says:
::she stops her horse, and pauses to decide if she should turn back::

Tina says:
::She gathers up about 4 or 5 apples and heads back to her hut, feeling a bit sad that she is all alone.::

James_Loud says:
:: slowly gets up and starts to walk towards Anna, hoping to head off any distrust she may foster.::

Host Ted says:
::with Anna's arrival, Naston releases him so that don't scare her off::

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Again, then where are the remains?  Check my hut, in fact, let's check all the huts.

Tina says:
::As she is walking back, she notices about 4 or 5 women sitting in a hut making pants, skirts and tops.  The clothing is the same as the clothing someone has put on her.::

Host Ted says:
Lettle: You could have just hid the remains, or disposed of it.

Leea says:
::changes her face completely to show genuine calm and coolness::

Leea says:
::hearing Lettle and Ted again::

James_Loud says:
:: waves at Anna and grins. :: Anna : Welcome to Camp Runamok.  We're having a slightly elevated debate.  How was your day?

Tehana says:
ALL:  Let's do as Lettle suggests, in fact, I'll be first to volunteer my hut to be searched.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Where?  You can't kill someone without leaving signs.  Any hunter will tell you that.

Tina says:
::She also notices men in another common area around a fire making what appears to be weapons, knives and spears.::

Host Anna says:
James:  Good morning.  There seems to be discontentment at your camp.  ::stepping back from him as she says it, now a little frightened::

Tehana says:
::sees Anna::  Anna:  Hello Anna.

Tina says:
::Feeling very secluded, she continues to walk back to her hut with a tear in her eye, wishing she could be with the others, and wondering if she is being punished for some reason.::

Host Ted says:
Lettle: If you killed her on the beach, the tide could have washed away the evidence. You could have lured her into the woods and broke her neck. There are a lot of ways you could have done it.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Besides, you, and this time I mean you personally, invited me to join this village. To have a safe place to hunt from.  I wouldn't waste that advantage for a couple of meals.

Leea says:
Anna: Hello Anna.  ::smiles:: My name is Leea.  I am happy to meet you.

James_Loud says:
:: puts both of his hands up and grimaces :: Anna: Yes, just a little.  And if you will allow me, I apologize.  Me and Ted had a slight argument.

Leea says:
::does a small bow and head nod::

Host Anna says:
Leea:  Hello, I don't remember seeing you yesterday.

Tehana says:
::steps between Lettle and Ted::  Lettle/Ted:  STOP NOW!!  Let's search everyone's hut, starting with MINE.

Host Anna says:
James:  Things like this are NOT allowed in our village.  I hope my chief doesn't hear about this.  He will never agree to meet with you if he does.

Leea says:
Anna: I was there but alone in a corner by myself.  I am a quiet person who does not like to get into trouble.

Tina says:
::She thinks about Ted and James, and how they must be arguing.  She feels so bad.  She didn't even have a chance to talk to Ted, and feels very guilty.::

Host Ted says:
Lettle: I'm not saying you did do it, I'm just saying you had the best chance at doing it and covering it up. You are a hunter. It is your job to kill.

Host Lettle says:
::Nods.:: Tehana: Let's, and mine next.  Or first?  If it will make Ted feel easier?

Host Anna says:
Leea:  We are like that, Leea.  We love peace.

Tehana says:
Lettle:  Mine first, then yours, then Ted's, then James, then Naston's and so on.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Then Tehana's admonition applies to me as well, I shouldn't be left alone either.

Host Ted says:
ALL: Look, do whatever you want. I am going to look for her. Enough of this. ::leaves the hut::

James_Loud says:
Anna: Well its mostly my fault that me and Ted are arguing.

Host Anna says:
James:  There was once a village, that was quarrelsome, they did not like the other villages.  Sadly to say, they were shunned and eventually died out.  I hope that does not happen to you.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Don't go away angry.  We will find her, but we have to work together.  Individual survival depends on teamwork.

Host Anna says:
::looking James in the eyes::  James:  Did you give a gift to him?  That is our way to peace and forgiveness.

Tehana says:
::the movement in her abdomen has started again, this time it feels different, her face pales::

Tina says:
::She returns to her hut, sits down, and places her head between her hands, tears coming from her eyes, not fully understanding what is happening.::

James_Loud says:
:: chuckles :: Anna: I don't think Ted is in a right mood to be excepting gifts.   He is royally ticked at me.

Leea says:
::notices Tehana again going white and walks over to her::  Tehana: Are you feeling alright??

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: Are you all right?

Host Ted says:
Lettle: Look, I don't have a problem with you. But the rest of these clowns couldn't lead a marching band. I will not put Tina's life in their hands.

Tehana says:
Leea:  I am not sure, the movement in my abdomen has started, but it feels different, I have no idea what is causing this movement.  No one has told me what is happening to me.

Host Anna says:
James:  You must if you are truly sorry.  ::reaching back into the cart she takes out a melon::  Here, go and give this to him.  I will wait here with Leea while you do it.  Otherwise, I will turn around and go home.

James_Loud says:
:: sighs, taking the melon in his hands. ::

Leea says:
Tehana: Can you try to describe what you actually feel??

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Then lead them.  Take Kowel and Libran with you.  Naston will stay with myself and James.

James_Loud says:
:: slowly starts to walk over the hut he saw Ted and Lettle walked into::

Tina says:
::She gets a sick feeling in her stomach at the pain she has caused, and she has no idea who she is even supposed to be with.  All she knows is the words Pon Far keep echoing in her mind and she has no idea what that means.::

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Once the village is searched, we'll head out and join you outside the village.

James_Loud says:
:: shouts loudly. :: Ted : Ted....TED!  Come out and talk with me Chuckles?

Host Ted says:
Lettle: Agreed. I will put some trust in you, beware of these guys, they are not right in the head.

Tehana says:
Leea:  I feel movement in this area.  ::motions around her abdomen::   It's like one spot here and one spot there.  And as you see my abdomen is larger than the rest of my body proportions.

Tina says:
::Exhausted by the stress, she decides to lay down, her head throbbing.::  Self: Maybe some sleep will help.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Different doesn't mean wrong...  ::Ends slowly, not sure where those words came from.::

Host Ted says:
::overhears Loud:: Loud: You want to continue this? Bring it on!

Leea says:
::looks and sees the movement and is amazed yet confused as well::

James_Loud says:
:: sighs...knowing this is going to bite him in the butt. ::  Ted : Just come out here, I haven't come to fight.

Host Lettle says:
Kowel/ Libran: Make sure he doesn't loose it again, and keep him safe.  Anger isn't a good hunting partner.

Leea says:
Tehana: I don't understand it either.

Tehana says:
Leea: Thanks for trying.

Host Anna says:
Tehana:  May I come to you?  I think I might know what is wrong, but I need to touch your body.

Host Ted says:
::marches right up to Loud and gets in his face:: Loud: You ready? I will finish what I started.

Tehana says:
Anna:  Please do.

Host Anna says:
::letting go of her reins, she walks over and places her hand on Tehana's stomach.  She feels the movement, then grins::

Tehana says:
::see Anna grins and wonders::  Anna:  Well.............

Host Lettle says:
Tehana: Naston and I will continue the village search.  We'll let you know before we leave to continue the search.

Tehana says:
Lettle:  Okay.

James_Loud says:
:: it takes every iota of self control not to mash Ted's face into silly putty...but he manages....instead he holds out the melon. ::  Ted:  Listen close meathead...if you don't accept this melon as a gift to appease your anger...Anna will not give us any help.  So untwist your panties, take it and we will settle this later.

Host Anna says:
Tehana:  You are going to bring a new life into the world Tehana.  I am surprised you did not know this.

Tehana says:
Anna:  WHAT?!?  New life, how?

Tehana says:
Anna:  I have little memory outside of yesterday.

Tina says:
::Slowly dozes off into a deep sleep as she dreams about the events of the day.::

Host Ted says:
::smiles:: Loud: Oh, so you need me to do you guys a favor. How rich. ::looks at the melon:: Sure, I'll take the melon.

Host Anna says:
::looks at her, puzzled::  Tehana:  There is only one way I know to have a child, that is to mate.

Host Lettle says:
::Steps outside, within leaping range of James and Ted, but letting it play out.::  Naston: We'll take James with us, and it might be a good idea to find another.

Tehana says:
Anna: Then who is my mate then?

Host Anna says:
Tehana:  I do not know, but we will take care of you and the child.  Have no worries.

James_Loud says:
:: hands the melon to Ted ::

Host Ted says:
::takes the melon:: Loud: I wouldn't want to mess things up for everybody.

Host Anna says:
::turning she sees James handing the melon to Ted::  Ted: Now you must give a gift as well.  That seals the peace between you.

Tehana says:
Anna:  I'll try.  ::ponders who may have mated with her to have the new life come::

Host Lettle says:
::Slowly shakes head, knowing that peace is never that simple.::

Host Ted says:
::looks over to Anna:: Anna: Oh really? I have a gift for Mr. Loud.

James_Loud says:
:: mutters :: Self: oh sh....

Host Anna says:
James/Ted:  Now that you have both given gifts, if either of you break the peace between you, then you will be put to death by our God.  We must all live in peace.

Host Ted says:
::hands Loud a small piece of fruit:: Loud: Here you go.

James_Loud says:
:: takes the fruit and nods :: Ted: Thank you.

Host Lettle says:
Anna: Your God?  You speak like you mean God takes a hand in your world.

Host Anna says:
Lettle:  Yes of course.  Is it not that way with your people?

James_Loud says:
Ted: Like it or not Ted, we have to work together.  And trust me...I hate it.

Host Lettle says:
Anna: I can't say, but by my language, God is an outside force, creating the world and letting it go on.  Isn't it?

Host Ted says:
::never felt more embarrassed in his whole life, that he remembers:: Loud: Not as much as I do. Just take my word for it. Let's just find Tina.

Tehana says:
::she wonders who is her mate::

Host Anna says:
James/Ted:  Now to show the God you mean what you have just done, you must be with each other for two days.  You must work, eat, and live together.

Host Anna says:
Lettle:  Our God watches over us.

James_Loud says:
:: his jaw drops when he hears this...:: Self : No freakin way.  You got to be kidding me?

Host Ted says:
Anna: I must decline due to religious differences.

Host Lettle says:
Ted: Not now, trust me.  Not now.

Host Anna says:
ACTION:  As both men say they will not agree, a MIST envelopes them and they disappear.

Host Lettle says:
Anna: Where did they go?  Where did "God" take them?!?!

Tehana says:
::stunned to see James and Ted vanish in some mist::

Host Anna says:
Lettle:  I do not know.  All I know is, if they do not find a way to resolve their differences, you will never see them again.
