"Aw. I see. Those who want more grow to be insatiable. Love is only true if you're greed is replaced by it. You may have been engaged to the wrong person." Despite his violent shivering, his speech was still smooth and careful. "Death can only separate those who allow it to. Even a memory, if it is treasured and cared for, can make the deceased live on. You, however, have a strange means of beginning anew. You came back. If that isn't a sign that you should try again, then I don't know what is." He was holding his open hands close to the embers. "Don't you think?"

[Jay]

Kiana sighed. "It isn't that simple. He's... not the same anymore, I'll put it at that. He doesn't even go by Danny... some silly nickname that... it scares me, the way he's changed. He's a whole different person. Certainly not the one I loved. And... it broke my heart when I had to break his." a tear silently went down her cheek again.

[Doom]

"Well, second chances aren't so simple themselves. When we are given an opportunity after we fail, it is to try again, not making the same mistakes. Perhaps your love in Danny was a mistake in itself if it only led to broken hearts. Maybe you can move on. Just maybe, you can find new love." He tried to comfort her with a gentle hand on the shoulder.

[Jay]

Kiana rested her hand on his, showing simple gratitude for the gesture. "Well, if it was, it certainly didn't seem like it at first. But, don't the most horrible things start out so fun?" she rolled her eyes slightly. "And, new love isn't likely. My end should come soon. It should've already happened. Nobody would find love in their heart that was dedicated to some dead person, past her prime." she laughed slightly. "Especially gifted, on top of it all. There are so many more attractive, ALIVE girls out there in this world of ours." she sighed.

[Doom]

"Don't be so hard on yourself. Giving up on yourself is the worst thing you can do. Certainly, there's something a little unusual about a woman with no pulse, but you're inner beauty as well as your outer beauty still shines. You can't let adversity act as an anchor. Let it be your oar, to ride down the river of life. Or, in your case, unlife." He chuckled, and coughed violently. "Freddy, get here already..." He whispered to himself.

[Jay]

Kiana cocked her head. "You certainly did NOT seem like the poetic, or philosophy type when I saw you." she laughed a bit. "Oh yes, I can picture it now, on a first date." she put her arms in the air, adding to the phrase "'Oh, yeah, did I mention I'm dead? Yeah. You're not gonna get a pulse from me. Nice, huh?'" she giggled. "Yeah, so not going to happen." she turned to him. " 'Least you've still got a chance. You could be out there chasing girls, yet you're trying to bring down the facility." she frowned. "I envy you."

[Doom]

Steven loosed a sigh, then said, "There are tales aplenty of how the world doesn't accept that which is different. There are tales aplenty of how triumphant misery and agony can be. But, even in the darkest of days and bleakest outlooks, hope is the only tether we have to happiness. Somewhere, no matter how far away, there is light at the end of the tunnel. In your case, you met that light, only to be dragged into a new tunnel. The question I ask you is, are you willing to move forward, or are you going to sit in the dark, all alone?" He looked behind him, hearing snow crunch. "Whew, sorry we took so long. It was blinding out there." He tossed the logs on the pathetic fire.

[Jay]

Kiana beamed at the walk-in. This was getting awkward. She stood, moving back to the other side of the fire. "Oh, it's fine. Nobody killed anybody, we all still have our heads." she smiled. "And, now, we get a cozy fire, and people to talk to. A nice little campout in Alaska.... maybe a bit weird, considering two of us are undead, and we're being watched by a spider man, but it could be worse!" she smiled.

[Doom]

Freddy sat, and breathed hard for a moment. "Wow. I'm exhausted. I hope this storm dies down." He panted, then caught his breath. "So, you say nothing happened while we were gone?"
Steven sighed, then said, "No. Nothing interesting." He shot Kiana a mournful glance, then stood. He shook snow from his pants, then began to pace, attempting to stay warm. Freddy looked puzzled by Steven's reaction, then shrugged and said, "Oh, and we found some food. Drakaron has graciously offered to distribute it to each of us." He looked over at Drakaron with an eager expression.

"Done, cutting it up....to bad it wasn't a dear....I would have more room to get that damn song out of my head. I can't cook to save my grandmother so I'll leave that to someone else. I learned to tolerate raw mean so I'll be fine." Drakaron handed out the rabbit portions to every one then moved to an isolated corner to eat his bunny.

[Doom]

With trembling hands, Freddy stabbed the cube of meat onto the end of a twig he hadn't thrown in the fire. He began to sear it over the fire. Steven turned over a chunk in his fingers, then put the entire thing is mouth, and began to chew slowly. "Th-thanks." Freddy mumbled.

[Sparrow]

Jack had watched the entire sicking display of heartfelt conversation. It took his all not to spray a web down on the pair to get them to shut up. Thankfully the others in the group returned to end the chat. He watches them all silently directly above them, then an idea strikes him. What fun was there in just watching? They thought he may be there, but they weren't sure. So he'd let them know he was, by toying with them. Carefully he left the area to not disturb it.... yet. After about twenty minutes he found what he was looking for, a wild boar. It was sniffing around in a less snow dense area. Quite easily he captured it in a net of webbing, then just as quickly delivered a bite to the back of its neck. Very little venom was needed to silence it. The amount was so small it would only paralyze the boar temporary and cause very little damage. He wrapped the poor creature in webbing before going back to the canopy. After a short while he found his way back. The boar was just starting to struggle, though weakly. Jack ties the webbing to a strong enough branch, then after ensuring the boar is secure, lets it go. The boar falls like on a bungee cord, and comes down besides the fire. When the cord comes to rest the boar struggles in it's vest like snare before quickly tiring out. Jack, knowing the shots may come, moves locations to watch from safety behind a trunk.

[fugama]

At first Drakarons' reaction was something along the lines of "YES MORE MEAT TO STAB!" but then he payed more attention and saw the webs, and the small bite mark. Seeing this he went on edge, and prepared himself to send his shadow after Jack

[Jay]

Kiana jumped, examined the boar, and relaxed. "Why, hello, Jack! Having fun?" she called up. She very discreetly pushed the meat away, hoping nobody would notice. She, too, was redying herself for use of her power. If needed, that is. But, she had a feeling that, as long as she was here, and Drakaron, too, nothing would happen on Jack's part. He was just messing with them.

[fugama]

Drakaron may have thought that as well, but he's a blood thirsty moron, and was just looking for the enemy to splatter into a bunch of small puddles....and dinner.
