Watching and listening to everything, biding her time for the right moment. It had been quite some time since the majority of the group found itself in the same spot at the same time. Staying just far enough from the bonfire to slink in to grab a bite to eat from time to time before returning to the fringes of the circle. [h1][/h1] Oro’s eyes darted towards Asahi as he broke the general murmur of the gathering. She didn’t respond or react to his mention of her in his speech. Oros listened quietly, without a word, without reaction. Her face had an empty expression, as her eyes shifted towards Duncan when he responded back. Oro’s kept silent as she let the conversation drift on until Masato had his say after Duncan had. She had heard this kind of talk before, the disagreements, the desire of one amongst them to venture out solo. It all felt like an endless cycle and it seemed to only cause more trouble amongst every time this cycle came to fruition. She had just dragged Shun back to camp, barely clinging to life after she had done something similar. [h1][/h1] Oro’s could sit here and let them argue, go back and forth. But she had had enough of waiting patiently, of letting things unfold as they have. She knew that it would only lead to more deaths, more injuries and more infighting. Oros had grown tired of this cycle, tired of these pointless arguments and disagreements. It made little to no sense for Asahi to venture off alone, or even with a second person. If anyone was going to venture off, it should be as a group effort. [h1][/h1] In Oro’s eyes it was as if they had all forgotten the true goal of making it out of this place alive. If only they would open their eyes to the truth she had to share, to embrace it as she had done so. Things could be so much different. She knew the feeling that Asahi felt from the mountains, but she knew that venture needed a group effort. For what resided within those mountains was not something to be so carelessly trifled with. [h1][/h1] As soon as Masato had finished, Oros pushed forward into the center of the circle around the bonfire as she was nearly at the point of standing within the blaze itself. The heat radiating against her skin and clothes as she turned her back to it as it outlined her figure. Her wild and messy white hair, her intense blue eyes gazing at each of her classmates. As if she was looking straight into their very souls. She brought out the rock that she had stored within the waistband of her skirt. Having taken back possession of it from Shun while she had been incapacitated. [h1][/h1] [color=ed1c24]“Enough!!!! No one is leaving this camp alone, or even as a group of two, just listen to yourselves, you may think of me as the lunatic, but we must not keep repeating the same mistakes over and over, just look at what has happened to Shun, you all need to open your eyes to the truth if you ever wish to see home again, if you stay on this path, it only holds death for many of you….I have seen it all with my Endless Eclipse…if we are to venture to that mountain, we must do so as a group…”[/color] Oro’s voice boomed out louder than Ayana had ever mustered up before. Now was the time for her to make her move, to set things down the path that Oros desired. [h1][/h1] Her blue gaze falling upon Masato[color=ed1c24] “As for Ma-Sa-To, you may be a great class president, but you are too indecisive, too quiet to be a leader when things do not line up with thought out plans, when they challenge any concept of what we had from our own world, for that reason, I believe I should be the leader of the group, to lead the way into the future, to show that I’m deadly serious, if any of you have any doubts about my leadership, if what I have said is proven false and I lead you down the wrong path and that I’m totally wrong about my claims, you may kill me on the spot without question…now do you want to keep going in circles until we are all eventually dead, or do you want to see the future, the choice is yours, but I can not wait any longer…we can not sit here at this camp however nice and tranquil it may be right now forever....it is time to decide...join me....or kill me and accept your fates”[/color] Oro’s vision scanned the group, a fiery intensity behind her gaze. Meaning every word she said, speaking it from her soul. She wasn't sure how they would react, knowing that many of them already saw her as a lunatic, as someone not to be trusted, as a liability. Even so, she knew she had to at least attempt it. [h1][/h1] Oros knew this was going to be a challenge, but she also knew that she had no other choice. It was time to break this cycle, it was time to do something different. For them to accept the truth that Oros The Clumsy had been destined to spread. Otherwise they would be doomed, destined to die horrible deaths, one by one as everything fell apart. It was up to her classmates to decide, her gambit was on the table. Her hand outstretched in a gesture of good faith, waiting for any who would take it if they so dared.
