What: The away group is returning, and another group is arriving for the first time.

[Day 131 would prove to be an eventful one. Not only did the away group finally return home, but barely a half-hour later a second group of people arrived as well. With all of these two and returning faces, it was bound to get a bit hectic.

But perhaps a bit of talking was all everyone needed to sort everything out.]

[Someone's there to welcome them! Well, just by sheer coincidence. She's out for a walk, and just happens to notice Nathaniel and the party returning. also that they're in pretty not-great condition.]

What happened.

[hellpyre]

[Yeah that's pretty obvious. One of their numbers isn't even walking on her own anymore. Rin is being Bridal-style carried by Colin, looking pale and ill.]

Shit, shit an' more shit...

[heptagram]

[Yeah, she figured as much. She's not gonna be rude about it, though.]</small. So I see. May your recovery be quick. Can you tell me something a little more specific, though? ... any of you?

[freedom_engineer]

[Yep, there's Colin with Rin in his arms.]

Yeah, we had a couple of setbacks. Also made some worthwhile discoveries, and I'll be going back a little later on.

Everything all right here? Nothing blow up? No wild plant attacks? No whipped cream falling from the sky and threatening to drown everyone?

[superdrowningskills]

[Alucard gives Colin an odd look at the last one. Just... what?

...No, nevermind. He's just going to carry on as normal.]

Is there anything anyone requires of me at this time, or shall I take my leave?

[heptagram]

Yes, I think everything's fine. If anything went awry, it was minor enough to escape my notice.

/t-t-threadjack let me know if this is okay

[astras]

[ A couple of her friends had gone with that group, so naturally, she was worried about them the entire time. When she starts seeing the group returning, she rushes over to where they are as quickly as possible.

She totally missed the conversation up to this point. You might need to fill her in. ]

Welcome back! Did everyone make it back here okay?

[ NOBODY DIED DID THEY ... ]

[freedom_engineer]

I think you're fine, Alucard. Go do what you gotta do.

I'm gonna bring Rin-Rin over to the hospital, someone let her boyfriend know that she needs a hug?

[Colin grins at Polka]

We're all okay, some more than others.

[hellpyre]

[Rin let out a groan, too tired to even lift her head from where it was resting on Colin's chest.]

I don't need a hug, I need a damn blanket and somethin' to throw up in...

[amnesiadragon]

I can help take her over there.

[He needs a nap himself, honestly.]

[freedom_engineer]

We can get you that too, Rin-Rin. And some... well, I suppose we CAN'T get you any chicken broth. Maybe mammoth broth, I'll see if I can't find a meaty bone.

[Colin grins and looks at Ryu]

I appreciate it, I don't have hands while I'm carrying her. If you can get the door, that'd be great.

[Colin looks at the others.]

I'm going to head over to the Distillery once Rin's in a bed. Anyone who wants to hash out what we found, meet up there? Unless you got other ideas?

[thirdoutofthree]

[ Viola laughed a bit to herself. ] I don't think I could hash out anything useful, but if you're pouring drinks, I'd love one.

[ As she walked by Polka, she ruffled the young girl's hair. ] I told you we'd be back in one piece. Even Jazz kept out of trouble, mostly.

[hellpyre]

Uuugh... but food sounds so gross right now... !

[Sorry guys, she's going to keep whining. This is some one who is not used to being sick at all.]

[freedom_engineer]

And that's why you're getting a warm bed and lots of sleep instead.

[Colin grins down at her, almost patronizingly]

You'll get hot broth and bread when you're not likely to puke it up all over me. Again.

[Yes, he may not let her forget that one.]

Viola, if you want to see if Georges is in the mood to whip up some drinks, I think most of us could use something good and stiff right now.
