Sharlin woke at the sound of a very loud bird.

"Sharuel?" But no, her aviar was sound asleep next to her.

She sat up and crept to the edge of the cave. What was out there?

It looks small.

"Oh, yeah? I've never lived in a rural area. Big stinky cities for me."

Maybe that's why your personality is so disagreeable, Sharp joked, his good mood restored.

"Probably."

"Umm, I'm okay to sleep now okay kid?" Sharlin told Winter. 

She lay down her orange jumpsuit to make the rock more bearable, then set up the crossbow so she could grab in quickly and tucked her knife into her shirt.

"Please don't stab me in the back, that wouldn't be fun." She lay down and closed her eyes, willing herself to fall asleep and rest.

Goodnight. Gosh I miss sleeping.

"Yeah, keep watch okay?"

That might be beyond me, I can't really see things . . . normally.

She shrugged, "Nevermind then."

Sharuel, not seeing any immediate dangers, flapped into the cave. He snuggled up with Sharlin as she drifted off.

------------------------------

Sharp sat back, leaning on the 'cave wall,' which for him was just a convulsing mass of mist. It was lonely, here in purgatory when Sharlin went to sleep.

He welcomed the peace of it though, heaven only knew what insanity they'd face tomorrow.

Wandering over to the entrance of the cave, he surveyed the island. Different shades of mist mad up trees and rock. In the distance he thought he saw a large expanse of dark, obsidian-like stone. That would be the ocean. He watched wispy leaves shift against the dull grey sky. Purgatory sure was weird.

Not that he'd expected it to be normal, or anything.

The back of his mind tingled, and he felt the pull again. The distant whole in the sky was present here, too. Sharp supposed it would have to be. Many would would die in this place, so they path to the next life would of course be wide open.

He pulled on him, threatening to rip him away from the island and whisk him into whatever lay beyond. Part him wanted to let it take him. He'd might see Annie again, and finally might some of his children and children's children.

But no, there was still too much to do. He turned to glance back at Sharlin, her soul a familiar blurry light tucked in-between walls of mist. 

She was his family too, if distantly.

It made him so mad.

He closed his eyes and tried to rest his mind at least. Instinctively he reached for the cigarette box in his pocket.

Pulling the worn paper box out of his pocket, he studied the faded label on the front. He hadn't had cigarettes when he'd died of course, no use for those in the arena. He'd managed to pick it up when he'd first come to on this side.

Whatever small influence he still had over the physical world let him take it and keep it close. 

He pulled out a single cigarette and stuck in his mouth. 

If he only he had a way to light it.

Winter decides to follow her lead and get some rest. He’s just dozing off when he notices an aviar approaching the cave. 
“Uh, Sharlin? Someone’s bird is here!” He says, slightly panicked.

Blackjack bursts from the trees, sees Sharlin, and squawks again. then he turns around to get Squall, who unknown to blackjack, was pretty much right behind him so they just bonked into each other. "SHI- Blackjack, dammit, what the heck." he looks to sharlin. "Hey cousin. It's squall."

"Oh that's right . . . you talked to me at the training center, huh."

She remembered him now, if vaguely.

He pulls out a notebook. "Yes, yes, you fought in the revolution six years ago. You were merely a child, only twelve years old. winter over there... let me check my notes" and he flips through his notebook.

"Y-yeah." Well someone had done their research.

"I'm assuming you won't try to kill me, right?" Sharlin asked nervously.

he snorts. "Nah, you are too good an asset to give up. your skills are unmatched. you have experience, you have strength, and most of all you have grit. you are useful, and thats why you are going to be kept alive. oh, and we are family. that, of course, is a good reason."

He lied through his teeth on the family bit. He could give less of a crap that theyre family.
