Huh? Nearing the lighthouse, Garret thought he heard someone yell, their voice floating across the water. It took him a second to pick apart what they were saying, sounded like they were shouting out for someone...a name? Marlo? Marvo? What was he saying? Did he say Marco? Was the person actually looking for someone named Marco, or was... "Polo!" Garret shouted back, hoping he wouldn't make a fool of himself by doing so. |

Skinner faintly heard the answering cry of polo. People called him stupid for these childhood games, but it seemed that "stupid" did not mean useless. With a great yell, he leapt into the water, hoping the voice would try to get closer to him. He hit the water and was immediately sucked under by a wave. He now regretted the yell, as he had very little breath left. |

Garret battled against the current, trying to keep afloat. He was so close to the lighthouse now, so close...yet the waves were so strong it would take him twice as long to reach. He had heard no response to the 'Marco-polo' thing and wondered whether the man who had called was even still alive, or if the ocean had claimed yet another soul. |

Skinner surfaced again. He thought about half-way between the lighthouse and the place where the plane had crashed, judging by the what little he could see of the debris that had not yet completely sunk, but the ocean could have carried the voice anywhere. He started swimming to where he thought he heard the voice, and tried to get re-oriented. "Marco!" |

Once more, with a bit of relief, Garret heard the same person shout 'Marco!' and he was quick to reply with a "Polo!" He began to swim as fast he could towards the person, noticing that he was also getting closer to the light house. |

People were playing some sort of game? Was this all a joke? Nicole took a deep breath, finding herself underwater in just a few seconds. The luggage she was holding was pulled away from her, leaving her defenseless. Adults. This wasn't supposed to happen. They made the plane crash, and now they were playing a game? Nicole breached, taking in more air. "P...polo!" Cenek continued to rest on the steps, trying to ignore the cries of the people who would never make it. |

Perfect now there were two voices. The problem was multiplied by 200%. Or something like that. The closest one appeared to be almost right in front of him. He dove and came up close enough to make out the outline of a thrashing body, probably male. He swam forward and grabbed his upper arm, trying to help him to the steps. |

"Oof!" He felt something wrap around his arm, pulling him forward. For a split second, in a moment of panic, Garret thought that a shark had gotten ahold of him though the boy quickly realized that another survivor had grabbed ahold of him and was now pulling him forwards towards the huge structure. Garret didn't try to question the situation, and as they reached the lighthouse he pulled himself out of the water and limped up the steps, soaked from head to toe. As he got off the cold, stone ground the boy immediatly turned to face the black ocean, the flames of the wreckage still flickering in the distance. Garret swore that, as the man was pulling him towards the lighthouse, he had heard someone else shout polo. "Marco!" He called, seeing if anyone else was going to answer. |

Skinner dropped back onto the steps. He felt like he had swallowed the ocean. "This had better not turn into a Die Hard 5." He sighed. There was at least one other out there. He wasn't looking forward to this at all. |

(Alright, and from the sound of things you've played the game?) Garret stepped forward, standing on foot and trying to spot whoever was yelling. The sound of waves drowned out most of their pleas, so it was rather difficult to tell where they were exactly. "Marco!" He yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth. |

Name: Daniel Richardson Age: 15 Gender: M Positive Aspects: Very musical and artsy (or is that bad? ) optimistic, rather knowledgeable Negative Aspects: Weaker than average, poor eyesight, bad at estimating anything, can anger quickly around morons Appearance: He wears a white polo shirt, white cargo pants, and a belt. He also has a waterproof, black watch on his right wrist. He used to have glasses. His hair is dark brown, and his eyes are hazel. Round face. Think Neville Longbottom, but more confident Biography: Not much, really. He studied piano. Then he studied it some more. He was going (alone) to England to see a concert and such sights as the Globe Theater. Daniel battled his way through the waves toward the lighthouse. Or rather the tower emitting light. Can't be too sure. Only looked to be 4 or 5 yards, but at his current rate.... he'd be there in about half an hour, if he was still alive. Fortunately, he was levelheaded enough to remember that the seat cushion could be used as a flotation device. "En avante!" |

Blackness. . . All William could see was blackness. . .His limbs felt numb, and he couldn't breathe. Water was all around him, he felt the cold sea and it's currents pulling him every which way. He some how found his way to the surface, he didn't know how, it's like his limbs moved on their own, without his control. Breathing a great gasp of air, he broke the water and treaded there. He heard the shouts of some game he used to play as a child. . .Marco-Polo, wasn't it? Maybe it was to locate any survivers. That must have been it. William could barely get his orientation, but the only way to go, because of the fire, was forward. Everything else was a firey ontop of the water. William's vision slowly cleared from water, and he swam towards the strange lighthouse. There wasn't much else he could do. Once he got a good breath of air, he replied to the Marco-Polo game with "Polo!" ((Btw, yes, I've played the Demo for the Xbox 360.)) |

Skinner heard enough of Garret's continuation of the Marco Polo game by the time he got his breath back to learn the general location of another survivor. Having learned his lesson from last time, instead of a large yell as he jumps, he simply shouts "Marco!" again, saving his air. Dan clung to the seat cushion with his left hand, having freed his right to paddle. He recognized the Marco-Polo game, and assumed it was used by the stronger ones to help the weaker ones like himself to the tower thing. Still he kept swimming forward, without yelling, knowing the people without flotation devices should be saved first. He looked to his left and saw a dark figure (William). He couldn't make out many details. ((Aargh! It's hard to type in small words.)) |

((I stopped bothering awhile ago, I just type what first comes to mind now. =P)) The water around William grew chill, amongst the heat of the fires surrounding him, it felt both good and bad. On the up side, it was a change to the heat; on the downside, the water this cold could freeze him to death within minutes. He needed to get out, and fast. Quickly glancing around, he saw two other people struggling against the current. He was a mere twenty yards away, so close, but the current fighting him gave him little progress. It'd take five more minutes to reach that distance. With the rest of his strength, William pushed forward, nearing the steps. But as he drew closer, he felt himself sinking, deeper and deeper. William knew he wasn't going to make it. With only a couple of feet before he made land fall, he was already four feet under. I. . .I'm not going to make it. He thought. But then, William's feet touched something solid, it couldn't have been the seafloor, he was only four feet down. Glancing down, he saw that there was some steps leading up to the land he saw above the surface, the water level must have risen since it was built. Struggling to reach the top with his limited air supply, he made it in just the right time. With long gasps of the wet air, he slowly pulled himself up and out of the water. William coughed once or twice, but he was finally ashore, what would happen next, he didn't know or wanted to know. All he wanted to see was his girlfriend again. He hoped she survived. Edit: ((Btw, sorry if people think these are to long. It'll get shorter once the interaction of characters start.)) |
