[b][color=#96D883]Name:[/color] Lapin Delacroix[/b] [b][color=#96D883]Role:[/color] SOLDIER 2[/b] [b][color=#96D883]Location:[/color] Sleeping Forest[/b] [b][color=#96D883]Tags:[/color] [@Renny][/b] [hr] [i][color=#96d883]This mark looks familiar...[/color][/i] Lapin turned in another direction, noting a broken branch on the tree she was now looking at. [i][color=#96d883]All of these marks look familiar.[/color][/i] She stopped walking and threw up her hands in frustration. this walking around in circles had gone on for some time, and while Lapin was generally a patient woman, her patience was beginning to run very thin. She looked into the sky and through the thick canopy, she could make out a now thinning plume of smoke. It was coming from the same direction they were going, but she couldn't smell the smoke. She looked back and could still see the tree line behind them, despite walking for what seemed like several minutes, maybe even an hour. He grip tightened on her shield and she suddenly slammed the edge against the side of a nearby tree. She stayed in this position for quite a while, wanting to vent her frustration. Getting lost only happened to other SOLDIERS, not [i]her[/i]. [i]She[/i] didn't allow herself to succumb to such foolish things. [i]She[/i] was better than this. [i]Lapin Delacroix[/i] simply did [I]not[/I] get lost in the woods. No, this couldn't possibly be her fault. Then whose? Was it Beryl's, for casting the water spell in the helicopter, causing it to crash? No, he had no idea that could happen. Was it Rowan's for leaping into the helicopter in the first place? No. He had only done [i]that[/I] because... Because... Lapin dropped to her knees, the weight of her realization finally crushing her spirit. Everything that had happened up to this point happened because of [i]her[/i]. It was her complacency that allowed AVALANCE to so easily take advantage of them, killing who knows how many of her soldiers... Rowan had gone into the helicopter on [i]her[/i] orders, and Beryl, too, had attempted to bring down the helicopter because she told him to. [b][color=#96d883]"DAMMIT!"[/color][/b], she cried, punching the ground with her shield. [b][color=#96d883]"DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!"[/color][/b] She stood up more quickly than she should have and accidentally knocked herself off balance, backing into a tree. She thrashed away from it, and pointed in the direction they were supposed to be heading. She shouted, [b][color=#96d883]Rowan, I swear to whatever gods are listening, you had better not be dead, because I will [I]NOT[/I] have that on my conscience!"[/color][/b] She took a step forward, but stopped. She huffed and straightened her uniform, then turned to meet Beryl. Her voice was shaky; she was obviously trying to cover up for her earlier outburst. [b][color=#96d883]"Whatever is preventing us from moving on...there has to be a way past it. Rowan is out there somewhere; he made it past whatever barrier this is. We must as well.[/color][/b]
