Where: Camp Crash II
Invited: Anyone
Status: Incomplete

He smiled as he slipped out of the shadows. The camp was silent and asleep, the only ones stirring were the sentries, those who watched the fire, and those that didn't sleep. They were wary of the dangers of this fantastic island, too grim sometimes.

(OOC: He's meant to be an annoyance, not a terror. You did fine with Methos. On the one hand he already suspects Jack's better about not dying than he is, on the other hand the, "Youngster," has him scratching his head

[Marie]

[estirose]

Marie had been woken up by a presence. He'd been a blur until he'd come closer, and then she'd gotten a good look at him. Asian, that bleached-hair look she'd seen so often on Japanese television programs... not something she'd expect to run into, or have come into her lean-to in the middle of the night.

She looked at his shirt, at the collar, and willed it into flame... except it didn't.

When he spoke and disappeared, she blinked and slid her glasses on. Making things appear? She could do fire, but....

Her hand closed on a book. Some kind of silly romance, smelling of smoke and in a ragged condition. She absently put it with the other books.

And then she tried to go back to sleep, her little 'torch' still lit as a sort of safety light.

Oona had made dinner of her catch of the day with the help of Hurley, Sue and Sawyer

Methos didn't see Oona take her step towards the trees, or hear the growl she made as she turned towards Daniel's tent. He did however spot her once she was making her way there. Methos wasn't sure what had sent Oona in Daniel's direction, but some how he guessed she'd had a visitor of her own. He joined her in heading towards Daniel's tent. Methos spoke up while there was enough distance between them, if he surprised Oona he should be able to dodge her defense, "Let me guess? Asian teenager with shaggy bleached hair wake you out of a sound sleep with some cryptic words and then vanish?"

[purplerhino]

Oona turned to Methos... no Adam.

"Right in one. He got through the guards and was taunting us. He went into the jungle. I almost followed him, but had no desire to be eaten."

She paused for him to walk beside her. "Daniel has to know. I don't know what his game was, but he was no friend to us."

Oona held the knife tightly in a white knuckled grip. That was anger, for in a fight the knife would be held more loosely.

I'm trusting to much. I slept soundly enough he was right on top of me. He could have slit my throat in my sleep and I wouldn't know what killed me. I never had anyone sneak up on me like that before. I'm losing more than practice here. I'm losing my edge. Even after all that has happened."

Her anger was self directed now.

[NPC Chris]

[estirose]

Chris had been woken out of a sound sleep by a voice. "You've done things that your superiors wouldn't approve of," the voice had said, whispering into his ear. He turned over, his hand running through a pair of black pants, as if the pants - and the owner - weren't quite there.

He looked up and got a brief glimpse of a teenager of asian descent grinning at him. The red-shirted teenager grinned at him just before vanishing.

The teen looked vaguely familiar, and Chris wondered why.

Making sure the others were asleep, he crept out and headed towards ths fire. He saw Oona and Adam Pierson walking toward Danel's tent, looking unhappy.

"Did you just have a mystery asian teenager in your tent?" he asked as he walked up to them.

OOC !!!
