She rolled her eyes, "That wasn't the joke, but fine." ,the second part piqued her interest though, "And who would they go for?"
Ema stuck out a hand, "It's nice to meet you. It's nice to see Abe and I aren't the only flawed ones here. He's a thief with no shame and I forget that people aren't as smart as I am and come off as condescending."
The blonde smiled a little, "So this is going to seem like an odd question but out of this group do you think bears would eat first? I'm betting on the history teacher, he looks like he'd be the slowest."

"What do you mean by 'flawed'?"Jenny asked, slightly offended. She wasn't sure whether Ema was referring to her being bi, or if she was referring to Jenny's DID, neither of which she thought of as flaws. Alexia simply responded with a huff. She didn't like people. Only a handful of people had managed to avoid getting on her list. She was irritated by Ema's comment aswell. She didn't know if Ema was referring to her or Jenny, as she didn't see herself as too flawed.

Ema sighed, "Thus my point is made. Your friend stated you could be bitchy, you stated that she was annoying, I had a stroke of dry humor that didn't work out and called my friend a shameless thief."
She smiled a little, "My sense of humor is a bit odd, my apologies for offending you with it."

"Well don't make a joke like that again."Jenny said, turning her attention back to her game. "Well you probably just pissed her off. way to go."Alexia said to Ema, with her accent being noticeable(She's British). She remembered that her mother always stressed that she was above most people who weren't as rich as her or her family. She didn't really believe that, but she always used it as an excuse to be rude to others, particularly those she doesn't like.

"Well. That was an... interesting way to make a first impression."Marty said, only being heard by Jenny. "You shouldn't be too surprised, you do that all the damn time..."Aggro responded. "Will you two shut up?"Jenny thought. While she wasn't too secretive about her 'Brain siblings" as she called them, she hated to be mocked for it. Given Ema's introduction, Jenny wasn't about to just blurt something out to her other personalities.

OOP: Just so ya know Ema, Jenny said Alexia was bitchy not the other way around

Rolling his shoulders, Raven decided there was no reason he shouldn't go over and introduce himself; it seemed that was what was going on at the moment anyway. Giving a polite wave to Colin, Raven made his way over to the small group that had accumulated in the center of everything. Oh, there was an argument going on already? He could hear huffy voices, "oh how wonderful" He thought. He went right ahead and strolled up to the group, calm as can be and put on a cheerful, friendly face.

"Hey, guys. So, you are the other ones who were picked to go on this little trip. I'm Raven, and you are..." He left it open for anyone to reply when they felt like it, crystal eyes scanning the group curiously, counting in his head. "So. Three boys and three girls, two teachers. I expected there to be more on this trip..."


((In case anyone missed it, there is an OOC thread for this RP here))

Abe stood there quietly, seeing the tensions rising. Finally having enough of it, he spoke up. "Any bears that wouldn't run away would most likely go after the bigger or most threatening living being around it." he said quickly. "So most likely the history teacher would go first." He then put his hands in his pockets and went back to being quiet. 'This is why I don't socialize. So many awkward moments that I can't just walk away from... But hopefully that helps lower the tensions...' he thought to himself, rocking slightly.

"Hi, I'm Jenny"Jenny said, still looking at the screen on the portable console. "Great. More people..."Alexia grumbled after Raven approached the slowly accumulating group. Christ she was already getting angry. The only reason she was going on this plane trip was because of her Father, who said that it "Would be good" for her to spend her time around complete strangers on some stupid camping trip.

"Hello Jenny." Hmm...typical, she didn't even look up. His eyes wandered over to the other girl, arching a brow at her before comically looking around as if searching for something.

"More people? Where? I thought it was just going to be the six of us." Utterly disregarding anything more this girl may or may not have to say, Raven turned to the other two instead. He could already tell he was not going to like those two girls at all.

"Hi. So, did you sign up for this trip, or did someone do it for you?" He said specifically to the girl with blue in her hair. Please let there be someone other than the teachers on this trip who wasn't self-centered or obnoxious as hell. Pleeease! Honestly, he was trying very hard not to be judgmental. Onyx would never forgive him if he didn't at least try.

Un fortunately Jenny wasn't in the mood for friendly meetings. Alexia's denial of a date, and Ema's comment put her in relatively bad mood for the moment. "Canw e hop out and meet some people? I got stuff to say!"Boomy asked. Unlike Jenny it would take quite bit for Boomy to be put into a sour mood, and even then she got over those relatively quickly."OH! OH! Kat could hop out for a bit!"She suggested. "W-What?"Kat asked, having been in her 'happy' place. "I think you should hop out and talk to people!"Boomy announced. "No thanks, I'm fine here.."Kat said. "Oh come on! Be adventurous!"

Ema nodded, "Of course. And I'll try to control my mouth a bit better as well."
She looked to Alexia, "Sorry, I don't always think before I speak... I don't have many friends asides from him so I'm kinda bad at figuring out how offensive I can be. Could we try the introductions thing again but in a manner where I don't screw it up?"
((@Sketch Because it's hear X3 It would appear I can't read))
Ema stuck out a hand, "I'm Ema and my friend here is Abe... I'm afraid I've offended the other two, so don't hold it against them if they're a bit unpleasant."
She sighed at the comment on bears, "Nice timing, very very nice timing."
The little blond smiled a little, she liked this one better than the other two, "Abe said he was going and it sounded interesting so I tagged along. Any particular reason for you to be here?"
She bit her cheek, hoping he wouldn't take offence to that. She'd asked out of sincere curiosity, but considering how her previous attempt at socialization had gone he might not care and take it as an insult anyways.

Jenny let out a sigh putting away the 3Ds. She figured she might as well try to not come off as a complete jerk. "Sorry if I came off as rude."Jenny said to anyone whom she may have upset. "When you said that you weren't the only one here with flaws I thought you were talking about me. I have a... condition that I'm kind of sensitive about."Jenny said, trying to be vague about her DID.

He eagerly shook hands with Ema, his grip firm but not painful. "Nice to meet you both. I don't see how you could have offended anyone. Hello Abe." Bears? Were they seriously talking about bears? It was hard to tell with how pale he already was, but he paled a little bit more at the thought but almost laughed when they suggested the bears would go after the injured professor. "I think you're talking about big cats. They do that. Bears go after the biggest threat." ugh, he hated bears.

Turning back to Jenny, an eyebrow raised but he gave her a pleasant smile anyway. "Seems like that might be something we have in common. I've got a condition too that'll probably make this ridiculous." Back to Ema he gave a shrug. "My physical therapist said it'll probably be good for me."

Ema gave her a little smile, "It's not really rude if I gave you a reason." ,she nodded, "Then I definitely deserved it. If I do it again, and that's a major if because I swear to you I'm working on not offending people and if I do try to offend you I'm not going to use that, but if I do that you have every right to just punch me. I'd appreciate it if you didn't break any bones or did it somewhere I could hide so that I didn't have to explain any bruising to an authority figure, but I think you get the idea."
She smiled, "You'd be surprised. My head works faster than my mouth works faster than my filter so it happens quite often."
Ema nodded, "Just a little, we were trying to figure out who they'd go for first if they were to eat one of us. Theoretically of course."
She nodded, "For intrusion, but I think if we're going strictly on who they would choose to eat he looks like he'd be the easiest to catch."
The little blonde nodded, "And your thoughts on that matter?"

He blinked at the blonde a little dumbly. "They don't eat humans...They're herbivores." What he'd hated about bears was that they liked to invade camps, scare the crap out of anyone in the vicinity and tear apart the site and anything you may have accidentally left out. Or break into your car. Ugh, they were destructive as hell and he hated it.

"They'll only attack if you actually try to hurt them. And even then, I don't think they'd eat you. They'd leave you for other animals." Though he did look up at the bandaged teacher curiously. Well...maybe mountain lions would go after him first, if he really was as weak and sickly as he seemed. "If anything will attack us, it'll be a mountain lion or a wolf." And yet, for some reason, he actually liked both mountain lions and wolves. "Bears are more likely to only attack you to get your backpack, if you have anymore snacks in there. And still they probably wouldn't."

She sighed, "I know bears don't eat humans, that's why it's a theoretical question... and bears aren't herbivores, they're opportunistic omnivores. They will eat pretty much anything. In fact many of them live mostly off meat, polar bears mostly eat seals, and even pandas will eat meat if they're in need of protein."
She thought for a moment, "More reason for why its theoretical, and whether they'd attack humans depends mostly what species, Brown Bears won't normally attack humans on sight, but their temperament is unpredictable and they have been known to attack sometimes, asian black bears are normally shy, but more aggressive towards humans than the brown bears of Eurasia, and in some areas of India and Burma sloth bears are more feared than tigers for their temperament. And on man eating, though it's rare, there are several recorded cases with all the species I just mentioned." ,she smiled, "As I said theoretical question, the logic of why the bear wants to eat one of us is irrelevant, the only thing we want to know is which person it would want. Abe and I have opted easiest kill." ,she bit her cheek, "Sorry, I can't help it, as I said, my head works faster than my mouth works faster than my filter."
Ema nodded, "Wolves and mountain lions do seem more likely to attack though. I think the choice holds true though, that man is going to go if anythings going to choose to eat one of us."

Abe was listening silently throughout the whole conversation. His interest was peaked when wolves were mentioned. "So basically watch out for everything, and run from it if it attacks you? Got it." he said, putting his hands behind his head. "But just know that if a wolf attacks, I'm giving it a big hug." At the word big, he threw his hands up into a stretch, rolling his arms back a little as he brought them back down to finish the stretch. He then turned to Ema and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ema, would you please let me use you as a vault? There is nothing to jump, and I'm sooo booored..." He slouched at the end of his question to empathize his boredom.

"Why are we talking about getting eaten by bears?"Jenny asked. "I dunno. Maybe they like bears?"Boomy offered. "Perhaps they're afraid of bears?"Marty suggested. Alexia shrugged. "Because out doors clearly means we're going to get eaten."She said sarcastically.

Ema shook her head, "I wouldn't recommend running, most of the animals can go faster than you, what you do is you make yourself look bigger or play dead depending on what is. The likelihood of us getting attacked isn't exactly high."
She rolled her eyes, she really didn't understand him sometimes, "Nice, give the thing that wants to kill you access to your vitals. And no, you can't use me as a vault, you can try to talk to people."
She turned to the other girl, "I made a joke when I teamed up with Abe and then it evolved into a theoretical discussion over who would get eaten if bears decided to eat one of the people here."
Ema nodded, "Mosquitoes. Enough said. I don't care what time of year it is, they never fail me."

Abe rolled his eyes. "I would still give the wolf a hug." he said to himself. He put his hands in his pockets. "Fine, I won't do anything stupid when it comes to the animals..." he said, giving Ema a 'fine! Have it your way...' kind of look. "If only Salem was here. Then we could of at least had some races..." he mumbled, sulking off. He walked over to the other student. "Um, hi. My name's Abe." He then plopped down onto the ground.

"So what kind of games do you guys play?"Jenny asked not really sure what to talk about now.
