"Crushed? Must have hurt like a *****." Jane commented. "So you were fighting someone. Were you a soldier?"

The girl seemed to calm down a bit after she stopped talking, although Timea, and her ever studying eyes, could tell the girl still shaken up about this whole mess. With Timea's hand extended, the girl looked at it nervously and even started to edge towards it, but stopped as she seemed to remember something. "But, I'm not supposed to go off alone with strangers..." She lamented, trying to fall back on whatever teachings she could remember at the time as she pulling her hand back.
With Timea's several approaches, she'd be nearly on the sand pile she'd seen the girl surface from initially.

"Well, what else are you going to do? Everyone here will be a stranger to you. Your parents aren't here, so you'll have to be a big girl and think for yourself what the right things to do will be." Timea pointed out, still talking with a soft and kindly voice, but not glossing over the situation. She had lowered her hand when the girl pointed back.
She paused for a moment to smile at the girl, and continued. "Besides, we won't really be strangers if we get to know each other, will we, now?" Another short pause followed, after which Timea said, "I'm Timea. Who are you?" and extended her hand again.

"Well it's jus' sunlight. Nuthin' ta git worked up over." Sibylla plainly replied to Timea. "Whaddya ya'll mean ta got stuff like me where yer from? Ah couldn't even begin ta imagine somethin' else like me existin'."

Looking for some way to kill time, Cybil noticed the person in the black cloak and wandered over to them. [color=9f2089]"Heya! How's it going?"[/color] She asked, trying to see if she could get a read on him from his reaction.

You smile slightly as you reply; [color=0066cc]"It did. And no, I wasn't a soldier. Never was, never will be. I've been a freelancing courier, trader, mercenary and more, but never a soldier."[/color] Turning your head to Robin, you chuckle. [color=0066cc]"It's not your fault!"[/color] You say brightly, before turning more serious to answer his question. [color=0066cc]"I tried once, as soon as I had recovered physically. I fell unconscious and woke up with a blinding headache. I think I've lost that skill. For now, at least."[/color] As you speak, it occurs to you that you haven't tried to properly meditate after your last fight. Feeling a spark of hope, you decide to start doing so as soon as you can.

"Well, it wasn't exactly the same." Timea began to explain, having her sternum return to normal, and discontinuing the beam and speaking with a normal mouth. She took a small breath, then continued. "I've never seen any turn their legs into a snake tail, for one. There were three other creatures that I know of that could turn things to stone with their gaze, too. Although I don't rightly know what they're called."
"Well, as good as it could be going." He took a sip from his flask. "... Did you know that monks used to live for months on nothing but beer, and water? Rich in calories you know." Cybil would notice that the man didn't look her in the eyes, instead focusing on the conversation with Shara.

Heno was listening to the conversation about Shara. "And who made limb? I have never seen invention like that."

[color=0066cc]"I'm... unsure of how to describe it. Suffice to say it took a lot of meditation and mental fortitude to make it happen. Perhaps I can get it back, but it'll take time, which I haven't had in the last few weeks. Meditation doesn't feed the stomach."[/color] After saying this, you sigh as you hear Jane's question. You turn to her with a serious look and reply, occasionally gesturing with your stump. [color=0066cc]"I'm from a place which has been at war for two decades. The fight is between a corrupt police state and an empire of warriors who love dying in battle. You'll forgive me for not wanting to get involved."[/color]
Taking your breath, you raise your hand in greeting to EMily. You then look over at Heno. [color=0066cc]"This?"[/color] - You ask, giving the prosthetic a light kick; [color=0066cc]"The blacksmith in town made it. It's not that complex, but it's better than nothing."[/color]
OoC: Oh yikes, there's lots now.

"Yay, fair enough I guess. I wouldn't mind my war going on longer. More time to kill imps." Jane said with a savage grin, looking out at sea and fantasizing.
You are reminded of why you're not a fan of soldiers, but you do not reply to Jane. Instead, you turn to EMily; [color=0066cc]"I went through a portal with my ship, and ended up crash-landing in the ocean. As for why..."[/color] You shrug, [color=0066cc]"No idea."[/color]
Homer woke up, but headed for the side of the boat do he could vomit off of the edge and into the sea. Jane chuckled at this.
"I-I know, but." She started to protest against Timea lecturing her on the 'everyone here is a stranger' aspect, that situation a bit clearer to the girl than Timea gave her credit for. When the idea of getting to know each other came up the girl seemed to ponder it for a bit, before slowly nodding her head with increasing vigor. "Y-ya, that's true." She seemed to agree, the faintest trace of a smile coming to her face. "My name's Hillary." she replied almost immediately after Timea did.
The hand taking was not quite as instant, but after a bit of coaxing Hillary would move back closer to Timea and go to make contact with Timea. This would have the unexpected result of Hillary, and even the ground that was under her converting to a material nearly identical to Timea's skin. The change overall would only take a couple seconds to fully complete, starting from the contact point with Timea and spreading from there.
In addition to the change, the section that was once sand almost immediately sank into the ground by a good few inches, flinging up a good jet of sand that had been underneath the once sand mound. Through the dust, Timea would see Hillary had changed appearance somewhat, even when disregarding the 'not being made of sand' part. Largely, her hair which had been straight and long before had now become more closer to dreadlocks, and she now appeared to now have a full set of legs instead of the partial calves she'd had before.
Needless to say, Hillary was freaked out over the change, and would fall backwards in surprise with a yelp.

"Imperials. They invaded my country and destroyed...well they destroyed a lot of stuff." Jane said sourly.
