(Hey, sorry about the wait. It seems after I got things back in order, my internet decided to poop out on me. But now...heh heh. The reign of evil begins it's downpour once again! I just hope people haven't given up on it yet.)
The nameless girl next to Hikaru drops her jaw in astonishment. "What the blue blazes?! You... How did... Boobs..." She keeps looking from Nick's chest to Hikaru's, like switching back and forth will explain what just happened.
The bartender takes a quick look at Bill's bare torso, then shakes her head. "Go ahead, moan and groan. Just ignore the only person on board who CAN'T WEAR CLOTHES!!" She takes another look at Bill and blushes green.
Heather gives Mattie a quick hug. "Oh, please don't be mad. I just meant it as a joke."
Bill keeps rowing, the effort shows off just how fit he is. He shakes his head. "I don't know if there are other ships out, but they won't be able to see us unless we're out of this black fog. After that... we'll just have to wait and see."
Hilda nods. "I agree. Until then, everyone seems to be all right except for this girl." She lifts Kimiko's head a bit. "Do any of you know first aid? Her leg looks broken." Kimiko, still very pale, lets out a shallow groan.
Andy's sword slices through the arm effortlessly. The creature rears back and slips the rest of the appendage into it's bulk. Before the victim can hit the water, another arm pops up from under the waves and melds with the remnant of the other arm. The work of death continues, and two more voices scream before fading into silence.
As for the screams, the people on the boat should be able to hear them now, if they pay attention. They still seem to be a ways off.
"Well, you'll have plenty of time to live in a van down by the river, when you're living...in a van down by the river!" --Matt Foley, motivational speaker
