Now that their course had been sent, Tamsin was feeling slightly more relaxed. Although the situation was hardly a good one, bringing order to it was somewhat comforting. She focused mostly on what Nova said, and mused to hherself about his origin. It seemed that he had been here for some time, and of course knew much about the area. BUt he'd also been in their school. It made no sense. It made Tamsin feel uneasy, but being the shy girl she is, she didn't say anything, hoping that someone else would pick up on it.
 
"Okay." Kevin said. He was excited; excited in a nervous and happy way. He was very happy to have a plan to escape here, but he also wasn't fond of the word 'failures'. Others came here and didn't survive. Kevin worried that he wouldn't survive for a minute, but those thoughts were quickly overridden by the prospect of returning home. He was eager to 'survive the first round'. Then he could get information. However, his subconscious mind was the one doing all the thinking and reasoning; Kevin was just eager in general.
 
Seriack nods, and stretches a bit. He expects that they'll probably need to run or something while they are out there, and doesn't want to cramp up or anything. "We best be going then..." He says, reaching a hand down to help Nova up on his feet. Hopefully they wouldn't run into anymore of those.... Things.
 
Vivian was glad that Nova had a clear way point and direction in mind. He had undoubtedly became their leader. She was glad about it, at least someone knew what they were doing. Though she was worried of those `failures`Nova talked about, but she decided not to bother with it now of all times. Surviving was more important."Sure. Let's get going." she walked past Kyy and stepped out of the door.
 
Tamsin headed out somewhere in the middle of the pack, doing her best to hold herself together. Outwardly she projected a calm and controlled persona, though inwardly she was about as close as one could get to being a headless chicken, without actually becoming one. In another life, she might have made a great actor, or poker player, but in this one it appeared she was stuck in some messed up fantasy world.
 
After Seriack took Nova on his back they were ready to go.
By going west first they managed to prevent to get close to the danger zone. And they also had enough luck not to run into any monsters on their way.
As they were about to reach the building with the phone, Nova began to speak.
Seriack, let me down. I can walk the last few steps.
 
Seriack nods, letting Nova down gingerly, hoping he wouldn't have to catch the blue-haired student if he fell again. He had remained silent the whole journey, watching the horizon for signs of trouble. He sighs and asks, "How close are we?" He continues to cast his gaze about, hoping he wouldn't spot something he'd regret seeing.
 
Nova managed to stand now. Thanks to Seriack he had a break and this allowed him to gather some strength.
He took a look around as well.
Judging by those rock formations... Over there.
Nova pointed to a cliff that the group is just about to pass.
The building must be behind that one.
 
Tamsin ignored the creeping exhaustion of the walk, not to mention the stress of this whole ordeal. Instead, she just trudged along with her head down, only looking up as it appeared they were nearing their destination. She furrowed her brow, feeling uneasy at the words of Nova. "Is it really that simple? We just use the phone and off we go?" It seemed far too easy, and Tamsin didn't want any more surprises today. This one was a bit of a whopper, and anything else was far more than she could handle.
 
Ashling kept in high spirits as she marched along. She hummed simple tunes, more to entertain herself rather than to fill the silence. It was definitely a long walk, but Ashling didn't seem to mind. She took in all the sights of her current world. Despite the situation, it wasn't too bad of a place. If you took away the monsters, one could even say it would be a decent place to live; or at least an interesting one. She almost bumped into Tamsin when Nova caught her attention. They were almost at their destination, and soon everyone would be home. Home with their friends and family. What a lovely thought. Ashling closed her eyes at this idea, allowing the wind to blow through her body. A sad emotion started to swell inside.

At Tamsin's words she shook her head and quickly recollected herself. She never thought to doubt Nova, since he seemed to know what he was doing. But if not home, where would the group end up? What would they meet, just beyond that cliff?
 
Eli walks by the class, clearly late and watches the entire thing. Eventually he decides to go into the class room and step in. "Hey! Look give me the wallet and nobody will get hurt."
 
Eli walks up to the class, clearly late, and watches the entire thing. Eventually decides to walk in. "Hey! Hasn't your parents ever tell you to not go through other people's crap?" He glares at the 3 students.
 
Vivian was exhausted by the long walk. She had walked last of the group and tried to keep her focus on walking. `I promise I'll start exercising after we get home.`she sighed to herself. Ashling's humming had sort of made walking easier, but Vivian was still glad for the little break near the exit. Nova seemed to be okay for now, at least he could walk, and luckily he apparently also knew their surroundings well. She had wondered the same thing as Tamsin, she just was afraid of the answer. But since someone else asked it in her stead, she was eager to hear the answer.
 
Kevin's steps became heavier as they walked along. Once Nova spoke, Kevin quickly formulated a question, but another said something before him. Choosing to listen to the Tasmin, he reflected about what she had said. His own question was swept aside by new thoughts. They were quite similar to the ideas he had before, just more refined. The doubt was still there. He waited for Nova's reply as suspicious thoughts swirled around his head.
 
He began to think about Tasmin's question.
Technically it really was that simple. All they had to do is to find the phone and use their phone cards on it. But the whole picture was far more complicated.
Nova shook his head to get rid of some dizziness and looked at the group.
If you get to the phone, use your phone cards. You'll return home then. But after thi-
He cut himself of. Something seemed to make him nervous all of the sudden. He began to look around quickly, like he was searching for something.
Get moving. Something is coming and i doubt you'll like it.
 
It was difficult to entirely trust what Nova said, although there had not been any sign of him having an ulterior motive. In the grand scheme of things, he was the one that was keeping them alive, and moving towards their destination, and so Tamsin chose to put at least some faith in him. In any case, there was no time for too many doubts, as it appeared another creature of some sort was heading their way. Immediately, Tamsin was alert, hastening her pace as she quickly checked that no one was falling behind. As much as she wished to save her own skin, it would mean nothing to her if she did so at the cost of those around her.
 
Kevin nodded in agreement, but then thought to himself. (What was he going to say?) He figured that he would question Nova later, after they got out of whatever danger that they were in. Kevin was moving faster now. He assumed Nova was coming with them, but spoke up anyway. "Hey, aren't you coming?"he asked, stopped with his head turned to face Nova.
 
Care about yourself for now. Get to the building, find the phone, and then inform me. We have to get outta here.
Nova stood behind the group. He knew that all would be over if they were surprised from behind.
