Before gawked bug-eyed at Beta 1, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air. Of course the imagery is lost, wasted behind the stupid gas masks. "Y-you don't like being Somebody?" His lower lip quivered and Before suddenly wanted to curl up on his side. If he did, Boss would get mad at him because he'd be slowing everyone down so instead, he asked Beta 1, "Can I call you Bones? B and One spells Bone but Bones just sounds better."
At that moment, his cellphone decided it wanted his attention. RIGHT NOW. And it began to vibrate. So like Bix, Before paused to check the message. It's been a whole day? Just a day? It felt like weeks to him. "Man, what do you think it meant by unwanted visitors and shadows? Like, the other teams that are gonna face-stab us from outta the shadows?" He tilted his head in thought.
((ooc: Gonna stick with the group until everyone can move to the Lighthouse subforum :3 ))

[ BXI is arriving from the hiding thread. ]
BXI continued scrolling through her missed messages as she walked, her peripheral vision keeping her from tripping through most of the larger craters between the corn. In addition to the odd text about reporting to the Cove, there was one about 'watching out for the shadows.' She nodded. That had been her intention when she had set out this way... whichever way this way was. She was hoping she was moving closer to the Lighthouse. A large beacon meant to attract others through the fog seemed like a logical place to start looking for a way off of this island.
(( No need to wait for me once Vamps' 12 hours are up. I'll be along soon. :B ))

"Yes, of course its not that easy," Beta Seven practically glared at Beta Six, although it probably can't be seen under her mask. There could be less whining, seriously - they were all in this together. And why does that make her think of a song that she can't exactly recall at the moment? Frowning, she returned to stare at the road in front of her, staying silent for a moment before sighing.
"Look - I doubt you'll get any answers until the end of this long week," She begun, her tone suggesting that she was annoyed - although more at the circumstances than at anyone in their group, "Now that they're allowing us to travel - assuming the fog is being controlled somehow - I doubt they will give us the chance to respawn. So, from this point onwards, take it as dead means dead."
Turning to Beta One with a frown, she then decided to ask something she should have asked a while ago, "What's being dead like anyway? Can you remember anything? Like why you respawned and stuff?"
Yes, she was aware 'respawn' is a slang, but it just seemed so fitting!
Taking up her own phone when Beta Six picked his up - it received a message the same time as everyone else's - Beta Seven's frown deepened at the text on the screen. Shadows? What shadows? So now, other than potentially being attacked by other teams, they have other things to worry about? Greattttt.
"Well, day 2 and we're here," She stared up at the lighthouse looming directly in front of them, "And its not weird. I don't feel the need to eat, drink or pee for that matter. I do want to sleep though... We can set up a system for it later." If they can even trust each other to look after them while they're asleep and vulnerable... She won't trust herself.
[Yeah, my 12 hours were long up, just wanted people to head over with me. With that said, Beta Seven is exiting this travelling thread to go into hiding at Lighthouse!]

Boss had taken over explaining to B1; excellent. X had the convenience of simply watching her course and listening in. "Teeth..." she repeated quietly after being introduced by B4; quietly enough for it to simply vent out as muffled air to those around her. This term was decidedly acceptable on the basis that it implied a concealed threat. Agreed.
Bix had mentioned an automatic return to base if something went horribly wrong and one got disengaged during battle...not likely in X's mind. It smelled like a trick...perhaps the horse beast was trying to dwindle their numbers for some alternate purpose.She'd have fun while the fun lasted. It was important to note what this obviously supernatural creature wanted though- for self preservation at the very least.
The path came to a end when they finally reached what B7 considered their destination. Truly, if X wanted to make the most of her energy, a bit of rest didn't seem like a bad idea. rest now... disembody later
yes later...yes later...

In any case it didn't seem as though she had all that long to ponder the thought of being watched because as others in her group were now pointing out - it seemed they had arrived at the Lighthouse. She paused for only a moment to cran her head up and take a look at the thing before hurrying after her blue clad teammates. Who knew what they would find here?

Boss was probably right about the answers coming at the end of the week. Of course Bix had to live that long to get them!!
He noticed them finally coming up on the Lighthouse. The lanky team member was starting to feel worn out and hoped that maybe they could stop and rest. But could he trust these people not to slit his throat while he napped?
The thought made him nervous but what choice did he have?

[ Beta Five is entering from the Cornfields boss thread~ ]
All right, well...ONTO NEW PLACES.
...wherever that is.
Reaching a hand up, Beta Five rubbed the back of his neck, his gloved fingers itching at the slice of bare skin between the collar of his shirt and the rubber of the mask. Now that Death Pony Thing had disappeared, the rest of the company had dissipated as well, everyone going their own separate ways.
...or at least, blue going one way, pink going the other. Beta Five was a tad put out that none of them had thought to ask him where he wanted to go. Not that he particularly minded, nor cared, but hey, it would have been nice to be included, right?
Right, Five decided, absently swinging the mace in his hand, hearing the tail end of a few mumbled conversations. Well, all right, so they're going to the lighthouse.
...I don't want to go to the lighthouse. Mostly because A.) The idea of being stuck in a cooped up building didn't exactly sound appealing, but partially because Beta Five did not really want to go along with the rest of his group. He looked at all of them, heading one direction.
Then he took the other path, heading towards the Abandoned Town.

Before waved happily to B11, unlike everyone else, he didn't feel as tired. He probably rested enough while he was face-down on the ground when Death-on-Hooves wanted them all to kneel. "Hey! Biiiiiillllllll!!!" he greeted, "Good to see they didn't kill you when you left." he nodded sagely.
He would have continued to explain the logic behind naming B11 as Bill but everyone seemed to be reaching the Lighthouse and Before didn't want to be too far away from the group. So he pointed at Bill, "Hope to see you at Lighthouse!"

[B9 entering from boss fight thread]
They'd survived, for now. The phone said they were allowed to travel now as well. Is that what had happened to the rest of the Beta's? They had seemed to have left her and so she ran after them or at least the direction she thought one had left in earlier. Looking up a head she saw they were much farther up the road going towards the Lighthouse. Oh well, guess she'd just try to catch up to them later.
((leave me, no one needs to stick around, I'll catch up in the morning~))

Maybe it was the fact walking was monotonous, but somewhere, Beta 1 found out she had fallen asleep.
Standing upright. Walking along the path.
Beta was confused again. But had a moment of being proud at her ability to evade injury even when asleep. Clearly, she was the boss.

Well, thought Beta Five, holding a hand above his eyes as if trying to survey where he was going. He looked left. Then right.
Eenie meenie miney mo...
Then Beta Five gave a shrug as if to say oh well and trundled off down the path towards the Abandoned Town.

They were all gone. Beta 9 had barely caught up and they were no where in sight. She ran towards the lighthouse which she was coming up to.

Backtracking to where he was before, Eta found the path he was on before and, with a weary sign, began the trek back to the Abandoned town

[ BXI is exiting to [LIGHTHOUSE] Inside and Up High ]
After wandering for what seemed like days, BXI finally caught sight of a path she hadn't seen before. At least, she thought she hadn't seen it. It was hard to tell through all of the fog. She peered over her shoulder for a moment, looking for more of those weird monsters she had encountered before heading toward the lighthouse.

On the road again, back to the town. What else could he do? He had nowhere else to be.
