OOC: And Mira, getting her post in first, calls the shot... The boat drops in front of the group causing them to skid to a halt. Jac flings the door open and jumps out, followed by Mira and Lessa. Cory, and Arvitis are behind them. In the bright lights from the boat, you see the group of people consist of a man of about 30, a woman about the same age, an old man well into his 70's or 80's, and a little girl. All are dressed in long flowing gowns that appear to be made of some sort of home spun cloth. None of them appear to be armed. The Hooters blink and hold their arms up as the bright lights shining on them. You are in the shadows behind the lights and are invisible, or merely shadows, at the moment. Lessa shouts, "Rachel!" and pushes forward toward the group. The little girl yanks herself free and screaming, "Mommy, comes running toward the darkness as fast as her short legs can carry her." The Hootish woman grabs after the girl calling out, "Mary....", but the little girl keeps running, eluding her grasp. The two men are still trying to shade their eyes. At the edge of the dividing line between light and shadow mother and child reach each other, and Rachel throws herself into Lessa's arms. Lessa spins back toward the still open hatch on the side of the /Random Walk/. "Let's go!" she shouts as she rushes back toward the hatch. OOC: Yeah, I guess I could have done that without you...but I *do* want to give you a chance to talk to the hooters...or take some other actions...if you so desire. Eris AKU GM
