the news. |May, Eb, Lilac, and anyone in Dorm 6|

Nate paused in front of the door, hesitating to knock on it. He wasn't sure what he was going to do once he walked in. What was he supposed to say? "Oh, hey bro. This is Michael, May's brother. We just kinda came to tell you that your two closest friends are dead. Lolktnxbai." Yeah, that would never fly. And even still, no matter which way that he would put it, he knew it'd never turn out that well. Could he just let Michael do it? Him and Josh were never exactly close growing up, or even now really; the more he thought about it, though, the more he figured it'd only be right if he were the one to tell him. He glanced back at the newcomer and went back to facing the door. They had dropped Teegan off, but she had said she wasn't sure if she'd come with or not. He supposed she'd arrive if she arrived.
The young man took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and knocked on the wood.

Josh was quietly playing a DS under his covers, when he heard a knock on the door. He closed it and shoved it under his pillow, and leaped up out of bed. He fixed up his messy hair, and walked over to the door. He opened it up, only to see a grim-faced Nate and an icy look from a silver-haired new kid. "What'cha need, Nate?" he asked, eyeing the new kid. "And who's he?"

Michael rolled his eyes and elbowed Nate.

Nate shot a sharp glare for a moment at Michael before turning his attention back to his brother. Well, he could always say he was just looking for Melody and turn back now. lolnope. He sighed, "This is Michael. May's brother." He explained, shoving his hands in his pockets. "We need to tell you something."

Teegan took a deep breath bracing herself for this. She knew what this was like, how terrible it felt to find out something like this. Of course this was hard, but she thought she would try to comfort this person, even though her awkward movements would most likely make things more uncomfortable. Walking slowly, quietly, and awkwardly she arrived at the dorm and stood next to Nate. Hunching her shoulders awkwardly and shifting her weight. She took a deep breath and looked up at Nate. "I think I'll support him. I know what its like." She whispered quietly to Nate and tensed up at the last part, showing that it wasn't up for conversation. "Hi." She said awkwardly staring at the newcomer with wide eyes.

"Hi." Josh answered. "Now, what do you need, Nate?"

He glanced down at young Vietnamese girl thankfully. "You should probably sit down first." Nathaniel advised lightly, avoiding his gaze and brushing past into the room; inviting himself, Michael, and Teegan in on his own.

Josh quietly walked over to his bed. Michael followed behind Nate. cx

Teegan followed awkwardly behind the older boys. Her eyes shifted to look at the boy apparently names Joshua. She could hardly imagine what must be going through his mind. It was scary and Teegan knew this. She couldn't help it, a blush creeped across her face as she looked at him with a soft kind of pity.

Nathaniel sighed and crossed his arms, unable to look straight at his brother and clueless to find the right words. He decided it'd be best to just say it and get it over with. It was impossible to suger-coat news like this. "The Guardians found Katie and May." He said quietly, "We're not really going to be able to see them again..."


ooc;; LIGHTUR? D8 lolokey. i was just gonna put "lolderedead". THAR.

OOC: lol. try to break it to him lighter. cx
edit;; I was being sarcastic. :P

Josh was stunned. "So they're dead. I'm not a child, Nate." he mumbled, his voice shaky, his fists clenched. His entire body went pale. He was shivering slightly. Andenhefainted. /derp

The empath visibly flinched, both from his brother's blunt remark and the shock that suddenly flooded the room. His gaze went over immediately to Teegan. If she wanted to be helping him, now would be the perfect time. He caught one last look at a ghostly pale Joshua before he passed out on the bed. ... WELP. That went well! Except for the fact that, you know, ... Josh was kinda out cold. Nathaniel was practically feeling physically sick now, having to sit down and double over. He didn't even bother to check what Michael was doing. D; Emotion-bottling tard. /shot.

That's horrible... Melody thought, moving restlessly under the covers of her bed. She had only met them once, but they has both seemed so... Nice. And young. She had been sleeping before Nate, Teegan and Micheal arrived, but stirred as they entered. From there, she listened in a daze as they explained. It toke her a moment to understand, she was so tired and exhausted, but when she did her heart dropped. Poor, poor May and Katie. "How'd it happen?" She yawned, throwing her covers off of her and sitting up. Mel rubbed her eye drowsily and pulled up her tank top a little.

xD

Michael blinked as he had not earlier noticed that the girl was here. "Something attacked them. When the Guardians found them, it was obvious to them that they at least had provided a fight for the creature. The only remnants of the creature was a black, scaly foot and a lot of purple goop." he answered. It was obviously a little painful for him, because, he was talking about his sister's death. ;n;

Teegan was starting to second think why she came. She wanted to help, but what was she supposed to say? She shifted awkwardly and finely blurted out, "I'm sorry!" She was very unfamiliar with the whole comforting thing, but she was the familiar with the whole loosing someone thing. "I mean.. I know what it's like to lose someone and..." Sigh, she really was bad at this thing, with a deep sigh she shifted awkwardly.

Nate frowned, still feeling sick but sitting up slowly. What the hell was that supposed to mean? A black foot and purple goop? Was that supposed to be some sort of alien or animal something? The only place he could imagine creatures like that being in was on the island... But the portal was always watched, there was no way some strange creature could have snuck through, right? "That doesn't make any sense." He muttered. Surely someone in charge would have noticed. Did they die for nothing? Nathan glanced over at Teegan, not saying anything; he was very familiar as well, and glanced back over at Josh, wondering when he'd wake up. Lord could only imagine what was running through his mind.

Sean, who had actually been sitting there the whole time, finally looked up. The bad news had silenced him even though he had no idea who either of the girls were. What this Michael kid said really didn't make sense. Giant foot? Purple goo? The wmeight on his heart suddenly increased as he meditated on the moment. "Wow," he said softly. "I cant believe that something like that would be loose on the island..." he finally swung his legs over the side of the bed to face his roommates and Nate, although the hurt inside of him was obvious through his sweer movements.

OOC; it was michael who said it. xD

"Well, they were in the forest. Oh, I almost forgot. There was also a large claw and a part of what appears to be wing membrane." Michael rolled his eyes as he saw Josh starting to drool a bit. cx
