As jake walked through the falling snow he though "its a warm day today.". having spent the past three months here he had got to know the regular occurrences of the area. "lets get moving time to go" Belinastraz said in his mind. Hating to admit it Jake slowly began towards his boat. Hoping it had manged to absorb enough energy from solar panels to get him back to the remnant island. From there he would charge it from the earth. planning this all out Jake simply pointed his body in the right direction and told it to walk. knowing that he would have to leave behind all his petty possessions behind. "we can get there in 5 minutes if you let me out" Belinastrazwhispered to him. Jake simply ignored him and continued walking.

Celentrak took in the air. .:There is another here.:. "I know. We're heading there now. Maybe he's got blankets. . ." Celentrak grinned inside, knowing that Atriax was heading for another Infected. These poor fools, unknowingly falling straight into his plans. .:Maybe.:. Atriax followed his eyes, and the scent that Celentrak gave him. He was to far out to hear anything, god's only know if they are even talking. Why talk to your self after all? Wouldn't it get boring? And what would a hume be doing all the way down here? Unless they are oreing, or research. Maybe the military has figured out he's here and they're after him. His step falted and he fell to the ground, a grunt escaping him. "d**n. . . It's cold." He stood up, with ice sticking out of his arms, and into his neck, not thinking or feeling, he continued his walk. He called out to this other one, "HEY!! HEY!!!! DON'T LEAVE YET!!!" He hurried himself towards them. "HEEEEYY!! CAN YOU HEAR ME!!??"

hearing but not recognizing the words or the speech Jake first thought that it was his imagination. When Jake did finally realize he was being followed he whirled around drawing a peculair looking handgun. Knowing full well if he got in a hit he ccould bore straight through the offending person. "who are you and why shouldnt i kill you where you ........ SHUT UP" he yelled the last part at Belinastraz who since he had realized what was happening had been yelling in hi head to let him out so he could eat.

Atriax stopped short, as the weapon was pulled. He sighed. "So you are military." He put his hands up and walked slowly, his bare skin out in the weather. Bits of his chest missing from the cold nights that he had spent out in the open, the many days he had walked without rest. He was bleeding from the ice sticking out of him already. Celentrak pushed himself forward enough to force the ice out of his humes body. No sense in them both dieing after all. . . "Do you want to study me? Stick me with needles? Torture me to find out how I react?" He stood out in the open, after all there was no cover here, no shadows to hide in, all those were further away. His blood freezing to his skin as he spoke, it was near -60 degrees out after all. He was truly shocked that hey had survived out here this long. "Do as you will, just so long as I can rest and eat. Please. . . I don't care if your military at this point."

"Military... you wish. if i was military then i would have rules. no. apparently we are one and the same in essence." Jake said. Then he turned the weapon to a point halfway in between them. flicking his thumb across the controls on the back of the gun he set it to a point so close to overload it would have to recharge for 5 minutes to be safe to fire again. even then only at 5% of its normal power if he was lucky. pulling the trigger he managed to create a hole with a diameter of roughly 4 feet and widening out to a nice comfy 10 feet. "now why dont we simply sit down and have a nice talk. all my supplies are roughly 3 miles that way." jake said while motioning south. "right now this is the best i can do." Jake said while dropping in the hole and graciously out of the wind.

Atriax followed suit, not certain how much he could trust this individual. He landed on the ice below, sitting in the colder shadows, against one of the walls. It was as defensive as he could possibly get. What weapon was that? Where did he get it? Was it prototype, or was it standard issue now? When he had left they were saying that they had just developed a truly energy efficient lazer. One that would fire out at a greater power than it took it. He sat quietly, watching, for a time. "Why are you here?" He asked the hume before him. "Not that I am not grateful for the shelter, but, still, it's curious to see someone here that wasn't ordered to be so." .:Do you really find it so strange? Why are we here? To get away? To protect people? To survive? No. We just couldn't stand it any longer, so we left isn't that right?:. "Shut up shut up shut up. This is a new hume! Let us speak with him." He smiled back at this person. "Hi, I'm Atriax."

"well first thing is im sure your wondering about this..." jake said calmy while holding up the gun "its my favorite weapon so far. no maintenece and can bore through pretty much anything. its the first and last of its kind. made sure of that. before you ask it manipulates gravity. im not sure how but all i know is it works very well. though the shot i just fired has made it to where it wont fire for another three minutes." jake calmly explained. "now as for why im here. its peaceful and quiet. plus none else comes here so i can be safe." now then why are you here and who are you? oh i almost forgot im jake."

He grinned. "I don't like technology. Nice to meet you Jake. It is quiet, and not many people are here." He shivered suddenly, rubbing on his arms. "I'm going to let Celentrak out. It's getting to cold for me." His body suddenly shook, and spasmed, it looked as if he was having a seizure. His bones broke and shifted, you could hear the sickening crunches following by the quick removal of his clothes, in a pile beside him. Black hair sprouted from his arms and legs, his jaw jutted out as it turned to more of a snout. Celentrak stood on his four legs, and sat back, relaxing in the relatively cold weather, but not enough to kill him. "Stupid stupid hume. Can't stand the cold yet determined to survive out here, with out gear." He shook his wolf like head. "I'm Celentrak. We're here to stay away from people. . . see their annoying, and loud, and tasty. But, you've shown me kindness, so kindness shall be returned." He smirked broadly, and then promptly layed upon the ice, making a small nest for him self. "How much in ways of supplies do you have ? How long would they last for 2 people? Do you have cold gear? These are all important, cause if you don't, I'll get us some. You'll need it before winter rolls around. We've been here for a while. so now worries right?"

"Ive been here for 3 months and used nearly all my supplies. i have enough for maybe 2 days before i have to let Belinastraz out so i can survive. Then more people will die and i dont want that. At least not yet." jake replied. hs gun beebed twice softly. Jake never blinked while atriax/celentrak changed. where as most people would have long since been running he didnt care. what he did do was set the gun in a way so that he could grab it quickly. "I do however have a boat. I think it would get us at least to remnant isle. There i can charge it off the earth instead of the sun. i can probably get to a barrier city from there."

Celentrak sighed, as he appeared beside Jake. "What I meant with my offer was I can get us supplies." He walked calmly back over to his scratched out nest, and layed down again. "Do you want to let it out, or me go get us stuff? Oh wait. . . you just met me, so won't trust me. Well you got 2 days before I start wondering if you're going to live or not." He smiled at Jake.

"No no, you misunderstand. i need a change of scenery and to see how much interest i have accumulated on my money in the bank." Jake said once again not blinking at the show of power. "LET ME OUT." belinastraz was yelling at him. "how bout this" Jake murmured to himself as he let his body change but not his mind. "much better that should shut him up for a minute or two." Jake said through a manticore's mouth. "now if you will excuse me... but my wings are a bit stiff and could use a stretch." jake said while he climbed out of the hole. grabbing his gun with the shifting spines of his tail. clothes were replaceable... the gun wasnt.

Celentrak rose, and leapt out of the hole, back out into the fridgid air. He shook himself once or twice to get the heat back going through him, thank the Oracle for fur. He ran along following this flying creature, that was so concerned with it's technology. He sighed out as he took his stride.

suddenly belinastraz came out. Jake had no warning no ability to give one. belinastraz simply was there. and as simply as he was there jake wasnt. belinastraz shifted his flight path slightly to a direction that made it easier to kill the petty shade. especially in this land of light. "GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE BELINASTRAZ." jake was screaming. at least in their head. belinastraz simply chuckled and made a quick burst of speed and a u-turn and simply allowed his envenomed spine to drop towards the shade in a pattern that seemed at least to be undodgeable. the venom would weaken the shade allowing him to play with it before he killed it.

The shade smirked, he had been waiting for this, he threw some of the snow in the air, and leapt through thier shadows, following it's path, hiding in the shadow, until it hit the ground. He burst back out from under the snow, completely untouched by the spines. "Better luck next time?" He called up to this creature. A grin quickly covering it's face. This would be a long fight. This creature hugging to the air, and him, stuck to the ground. It was going to be a question of stamina. Or who was injured first. If he allowed him self to be injured may hap it would draw it down. He doubted that plan, and didn't like the idea of one of those things sticking out of him some where. He took pause, and that would be his demise.

noticing the pause belinastraz almost ended it there but... that would end all the fun. instead belinastraz sent a volley of spines not just dropped but thrown at astonishing speed each one coated in his venom. at the same time he had to fight off jakes attempts to regain control. this caused a slight barely noticable lurch in his flight path, "TAKE THIS YOU BASTARD." was all jake had to say.
