While everyone was waiting on the deck he watched the girls getting worried before Ozzy voiced out his plans. Those eyes of his widened.. swim...? A gulp sounded in Dei's throat and that face pouted a bit. "B-but..." He started to protest but looked back to the boats. Low... He was going to hate this.. but if Ozzy was going to risk changing forms in front of these people, he should help too. It was changing that got him.. It was the cold water. It never mixed well with a fire creature, he was going to get wet and freeze. "You help her and I'll help the other." He told Oz after a few moments of thinking, this was once he would have to face his weakness. Deimos looked to the girls as Ozzy explained the plan. If both agreed a nod was given before he began switching into a hellhound that was like an over-sized demon dog just as his pal began changing. That way both could time one another perfectly and be in the water at the same time to reach the island at the same spot. Heaven forbid if the group was separated causing more worry if the others were fine. If both disagreed? They'd have to wait and come up with a different plan.
She realized when Kasie pulled her hoodie from her backpack that she was nowhere near as prepared as her cousin. She was in a flowing red dress! Swim? Swim?? Had she heard Ozzy right? On his back... But uh... Dress. Her face turned blood red when Ozzy gave her a look. His words had her concerned.. More screams? Was he something like Red? Not human? She sucked in a deep breath at the rest of his words and then when he gulped so did she. A nod was given as a weak, "Yeah.." croaked past her lips. She squealed when he turned into a wolf, and yet again as Dei turned into a demon dog thing. At least she had the less scary of the two! She even loved wolves. They were her favorite animal. No time for this! She climbed onto his back, her face heating all over again as her bare legs touched soft fur. She wrapped her arms around his neck gently but firm enough to keep her on, she hoped, and shut her eyes tightly to avoid a panic attack when he jumped off the ship. This was going to suck.
While the two were talking to one another those eyes looked at Heather and she mumbled something about being afraid due to the whole Titanic ordeal. The things almost fit to the very details, minus the fact that they were about to witness something shocking. Kasie nodded in agreement to the plan as well, at least the two would be safe and wouldn't have to fight for a boat. Teeth caught her bottom lip as she watched the two change, that had to hurt! It hurt her just by watching.. When things were in order and Heather was on Ozzy's back she hopped on Deimos' holding on tightly. Squealing as he had jumped into the water as well, Kasie hadn't closed her eyes and done it smart. Instead she left them open, once he began swimming toward the island? She would lighten that grip a bit to make sure she wasn't choking him or anything. Heather and Ozzy was still in viewing distance and that was comforting that nothing happened. That heart was still pounding from the events however and the fact that Dei's back was very warm compared to the cold air. How did the two of them stand to even swim right now..?
[Furcadia began distracting me.. sorry.
>-> Heather!]
[Furcadia began distracting me.. sorry.
>-> Heather!]
He was glad Dei agreed with him, because swimming would be less of a pain than trying to fight to get all four of them safely on a boat. When Heather said she trusted him, the boy's heart skipped a beat. It was just something about having her trust that made him feel warm inside. Had he not been a wolf, he'd have been just as red in the face as she was from the fact that she was wearing a dress while on his back. The leap off the ship put them as far as he could out into the ocean, less distance he'd have to swim. The cold water wasn't pleasant and it took everything in him not to growl or something from the shock of it soaking his fur. He swam as fast as he could while making sure Dei was still behind him from time to time. He didn't want to get separated. The longer he was in the water, he couldn't help it. A low groan-like growl was given. So... freakin'... cold..... How had this been a good idea? Once they'd hit land, he'd wait for her to get off and then shake his fur out like a dog.
As Ozzy leaped into the water he had waited for the other girl then leaped. Trying to keep up the best he could. Those shades were lost, so he would have to fight to see during the day now. The male was freezing the moment they were in the water, growling and hating this plan more and more with each passing minute. Those eyes were narrowed, ears perked back, scales going from black to red as the hatred grew. Deimos wanted to hit Ozzy in the shoulder, but decided against it due to all the things that could've went wrong with the chaotic way. Reaching land a moment after his friend he leaned down a bit until Kasie had got off his back then began rolling around in the dirt while shaking all the same. Both seemed dog like after getting out of the contact with water, blame the species each were. Whimpers erupted through his muzzle as a cold breeze crossed over the island. What are they going to use for shelter? What time was it..? His cellphone given to him as a gift was most likely ruined by now, it WAS in his pocket. Mind you, the thing had no case on it either. Even if it did work... did they have service..?
She was trying not to think about falling off of him, or sinking to the bottom of the coooold water. She tried not to think about Ozzy freezing too much and not being able to swim any further. Thinking about sharks was also bad. Don't you just love when thoughts invade your head that make matters incredibly worse? Once they were blessed with land she climbed off and stood there shivering, arms wrapped around herself in a desperate attempt to shield from the wind. No such luck though! Now they were soaking wet so the cold was even more brutal than before. At least the boys had fur.. Well, Ozzy did. Dei had scale things. Her eyes were full of tears as the panic was starting to reeeeally sink in. It was getting harder to breathe with each passing moment she had to think about how 'doomed' they were. She looked at Kasie and bit her lip, "What do we do?..."
She was thankful when the group reached land and were okay.. sort of. Climbing off Deimos' back now she walked over to her cousin and hugged her before staring out into the ocean. How long would it take for someone to help them? Dei and Oz was trying to dry off for the time being, but when Heather looked her way and bit her lip Kasie just shrugged. "We need to make a fire for one.. Then try to make it to sunrise to figure out the rest." The night air is bound to be worse and more cold than it is now and that was one thing that scared her. "I have some chips in my bag if we need to snack on them.." If they run out though, would they have to find food? Well, yeah. If the small circle of people wasn't saved by then..
Red had snuck on board that ship when he followed Heather's aura because she had gotten so far from Pulse. Obsessive? Maybe.. but he didn't like the idea of not being able to watch over her. He kept his distance on the ship so he wouldn't scare her by being there like some sort of stalker. Since his nature was predatorial, he had no problem with blending in and becoming invisible. He'd lost sight of her when the boat started to sink, but saw the group in the distance on their way to the island. He ground his teeth and dove into the icy water himself, swimming towards the island. He lost sight of the group again at some point and ended up a little down the shoreline. "Damn...." he cursed as he started walking towards her scent. Hopefully she made it through the swim okay. He'd be able to see for himself shortly... (On my phone guys.)
[Heading to bed guys. Got to get up early, continue on- my person went to sleep or something.]

As the ship was sinking Lagg had hitched a ride on one of the boats, but it was in pieces after awhile. So he was approaching the island with what small portion of the boat was left. Hands were placed in the cold water to push it off. He was wearing pink skinny jeans paired with a fancy type of shirt. He had no clue who was there, but he did see people! The tiny boat half eventually reached the island and he got off dusting off those jeans. Heading in the direction where he did see movement, right now he was off somewhere as well. Those hips moved as he walked in those pink diamond studded stilettos like a model.
Oz whined a little bit. If he changed back he had no clothes... They'd ripped when he turned. This would be... interesting. He would have to try to communicate with them without talking.. Man oh man this was such a great plan... Ears lowered and he looked at girls quietly, walking over and plopping down on his rump in front of them, tail flicking slightly. How the heck was he supposed to talk to them?... [Short but I'm getting sleepy. You guys are crazy fast. xD]
She was nodding to Kasie about the fire. "Anybody know how to make a fire?" she asked the boys. When Ozzy whined and didn't change back she blinked in confusion. Theeen it hit her. She'd seen enough movies to know if he changed back he'd be naked. Her whole face turned blood red again and she elbowed Kasie frantically, "Ozzy is stuck like that!" How'd she know his name? Dei had said it more than once. "He doesn't have clothes..." she mumbled awkwardly. She had nooo idea that her whole world was about to light up like the fourth of July when Red reached them. She was praying he was there to save her in her thoughts and would have given anything to have gone back in time and invited him along. He was strong, he was her protector, he'd figure something out! Too bad he wasn't here... She reached down and started petting Ozzy gently, "Good boy.. You swam so far.." The ship was now completely underwater and she had to wonder how many others made it to safety. [

[Dei picked a great time to go sleep huh?]
She had no idea others were scattered out on the island and on their way over to them. As Oz walked over to then and plopped down she smiled and petted his ears since he whined earlier. This cruise started off funny and turned into a mess, were they all still happy to be here? Probably not. Kasie 'uhh'd' at Heather's question. She knew how with a lighter or match.. Unfortunately there wasn't one in that bag of her's. "Oh?...Ooooooh!" She just caught on as well to why he hadn't changed back. She snickered a bit at that thought, "Do you still think we should've waited for a boat now?" Kasie was back to being spiteful, however still shivering. [For real though!! XDD We were talking about that in Furc.]
After a walk through the sand that went on way too long, the hybrid finally saw the group. "You look like you're lost love!" he called out teasingly, trying to get her attention as he headed on over. He noticed the wolf was still a wolf and grinned, "What's wrong Fido? Can't change back?" The way he said it was dark, but only because Red and werewolves didn't always get along.. Spiteful smirk lingered on his lips a moment but faded to awe when he got a good look at the girl he'd came here for. Even soaking wet and shivering she was still able to make his heart race. (Sorry if I kinda suck. I'll be headed home soon)
