"Ok guys, we're going to need food" the reaper stated, clapping his hands together before giving the spaceman a warning look. "Our hunger seems to go down faster when we're here, so Sjin and Rythian you two get to work at collecting berries and anything else you find that we can eat." he finished.
"Woah, woah, who put you incharge?" Rythian asked making Ridge smirk and raise an eyebrow.
"Well i'm the most powerful plus I know how to survi-"
"Not in this world you're not pretty boy!" Sjin stated.
"Yeah and besides, you think you know how to survive? We're the ones who have been forced into your survival games so many times. You're only good at watching and laughing." Rythian added.
"Why's everyone ganging up on me? I'm just trying to help us here." the reaper stated, he seemed a bit out of place and clueless as to what to do. He didn't seem to have most of his powers, probably just a small bit of magic like Rythian had.
"Guys come on, how about you two go cut down some trees and me and Ridge will look for food." Xephos suggested, getting the groups attention. There wasn't a response, but finally Sjin walked towards the wood. He ran his finger down the bark and turned to the others.
"It seems to be mahogany, I know how to break this so that we can get the most use out of it." he stated "I'll need some tools, unless you have some kind of cutting magic or something?" he asked the group and Rythian walked over, asking Sjin where he needed to cut.
Ridge turned to Xephos an eyebrow raised. His eyes were squinted slightly in a bemused but questioning look. "What?" the spaceman asked.
"You really do make me curious you know that?"
"Is the gayist sentance ever." and with that Xephos turned and walked over to some berry bushes.
------------
"Hey we can make things that i've never actually thought about making to survive before." Sjin told Rythian as he walked over to where he was sitting, his hands full of mahogany wood.
They had made a small camp, waiting to make a fire at the night to get the most use out of the wood. There were four long logs set out in a circle where they had woken up, to be used as benches and makeshift pillows, ready to put the fire in the middle.
Xephos and Ridge had gone east and west to see if they could find any other signs of life on this island.
Ridge returned a few moments later, he seemed to have some saplings in one hand and a couple of dead rabbits over his shoulder.
Xephos appeared about ten minutes after that. Ridge at this point had argued with Sjin for almost all of that time until he finally gave up and made thier dinner himself.
Xephos walked over to hear them all bickering about how much wood they should add to the fire at a time.
"We don't want to waste any wood so why don't we just put two logs on at a time when the fire's almost gone out?" Sjin said, the mage responded by shaking his head, the blonde streaks flowing from Β side to side.
"No, we should fill it up with just one every time it goes down just a little, that way it'll be the safest if there are preditors out there."
"No! We should just dump all the wood onto the fire streight away so that it doesn't burn out if we fall asleep! You two can always cut some more tomorow." the reaper responded casually, dropping some more rabbit chunks into the wooden cooking pot Sjin had made.
"Maybe you should try cutting that wood all day tomorow instead of going off on your own! You might not need us in the other world, but you sure as heck need us in this one!" Sjin shouted. And the unhearable babbling started again.
Xephos dropped a bunch of pickaxes infront of the group, causing them to stop streight away as they hadn't noticed him through thier arguments.
"Can you guys give it a rest? I never imagioned you three would be so bad at getting along! I kind of expected Rythian and Sjin to have some quarels, but you get on better than anyone else!" he said, getting some guilty looks back from them all, even Ridge.
"Did you not hear me before when I said that we should work together and put aside our differances?! Yeah it sounds cheesy but it's true if we want to survive in this place!"
He dropped to his knees and pulled some shiny golden clumps out of his pocket.
"Why did you get gold it's useless??" Sjin asked as politely as he could, no-one knew Xephos to be a loud and angry person, and he didn't want to see that again.
"Not in this world, I think I can make something out of it..." he stated, taking some of the wood and getting to work.
------------
They had gotten the fire working, only using quarter of the stack instead of the whole stack as Ridge had suggested. It was getting dark now that the sun was setting.
Sjin was counting the amount of wood they had left and how much he needed to leave over if he wanted to make bowls for them to eat out of.
Rythian was trying to enchant the pickaxes so that they would last longer.
Ridge was sturring the now cooking rabbit soup.
And Xephos had finished his device, he turned to the others, standing up and in turn standing the machine up.
"Tah- dah!" he stated and stepped to the side so that he others could see. It was a device about as tall as Sjin would be if he stood up (being the shortest of the group).
It was made of wood and had gold in the chest type area, seen as it was set out a little like a person. The gold was connected to differant types of devices that covered the body of the machine.
"Wow!" Rythian said
"I thought you couldn't build!" Sjin added and got a frown back from.the spaceman.
"Wouldn't a crafting table just be easier to make?" Rythian enquired.
"I tried that earlier, it doesn't work that well with mahogany wood."
"Good job team, now I suggest we eat our dinner and then get some rest! You've got a big day tomorow!" the reaper interrupted, clapping his hands together once more.
Sjin shook his head "No way! You can't tell us what to do, if anything silkshirt should be our leader!" he stated, pointing to Xephos with his thumb.
"Really? You've started calling me silkshirt now." was his answer.
Rythian nodded "I never thought i'd say this but I agree with Sjin, Xephos is the best at leading us and we all trust him."
The spaceman scratched the back of his head. Ridge seemed to be pondering the idea, smiling slightly as he looked the spaceman up and down.
"So you're saying that you don't trust me?"
"Well I still can't be sure if your not behind this whole thing yet. It could be your way of testing to see if me, Sjin and Xephos work well as a team."
Ridge chuckled to himself. "If I had that in mind" he bagan, while walking over to Xephos. "I wouldn't have sacrafised my powers for the time being just to observe." he continued, he lifted up Xephos' arm and looked at his frame. He then looked to the spacemans confused face as he ran his hand down his ribs. "Besides, if I wanted to do that" he stook his finger in the spacemans mouth and looked at his teeth. "I could have just watched you without being seen. It would have been easier that way anyway." he let go of the spacemans arm, before lifting his hand and running one finger across a strand of his brunnete hair and then down his cheek. Xephos looked just as confused as ever. "Plus this way, if I was trying to observe you, I would only get in the way of you guys learning to work together wont I?" the reaper concluded. He walked around the back of Xephos, still eyeing him up and down before returning to where he had been standing before.
"Hmmmm." he contemplated, stroking his chin with the thumb and finger. His eyes clocking over the spaceman.
"Ridge what are you doing?" Xephos asked.
"Observing." was his response. The spaceman looked a little awkward, he shuffled his feet around a bit as the reaper continued to look at him.
"Alright, I say you're fit for duty, you shall be our leader." the reaper stated, crossing his arms and nodding.
"What the crap was all that about?!"
"It's a very ancient tradition used to determine if a reaper is set for duty. If the genuine reaper survival and leadership standards aren't surpassed then we wouldn't be able to call you fit for duty and you would be stripped of your most powerful reaper abilities."
"But I'm not a reaper and this isn't like an army or anything! We`re not reaper soldiers who can either be fit or not fit for duty."
Ridge smirked "No, but you have a good enough physique to be one, even if you could do with gaining a few stone." The spaceman gave the other a slight glare.
"Did you even hear the rest of my sentence?"
"Yes, but I chose to ignore it." The reaper replied casually. The spaceman looked around, it was dark now.
"Alright if I'm leader that means that you guys have to work with who I say, right?" The others nodded.
"Well, Sjin you and Ridge start serving the soup and Rythian, bring them pickaxes over to me, I'll see if this thing works."
And with their orders the group got to work.
