Later that night
The light of the fire is the only illumination in an otherwise pitch black canopied forest.  The sky above is so filled with stars as to appear ready to burst;  as if hanging just one more light in the sky would make the whole thing come crashing down.  All the familiar aural ambiance is gone, with the noise of cars and plane engines replaced by the much more agreeable hooting of the owl and the crackle of the fire.

An unfamiliar pair of eyes shifts its gaze between the campers, as an invisible and distant watcher takes a moment to observe unseen...

Iris is the second one jerked awake by the screaming. She'd been sleeping on-and-off anyway, the feeling that something just wasn't poking the back of her brain.

"If it's a prank, it stopped being funny about five seconds ago," she says, pulling her sweatshirt on over her tank top.

Iris is shivering. And not just because it's a cool night out.

Groggy and tripping her way out of the tent, Jeannie slams into the back of Iris before listing to the left, and finally setting herself upright.

Oh, it's worse out here! Those screams are going right down to her bones, right into her skull, her pores, and her sleep for later. The world turns into a Paul Klee painting, and then the aura of death is saturating her. Out in the forest, there is green, red, glee, terror, confusion, malice, and an odd calm. Jeannie runs back in the tent.

"Shit," Lian spits out as Jeannie runs. The terror on her face was visible even by the light of the campfire, and Lian noticed that Jeannie's eyes never even moved toward the fire.

Stepping carefully to keep her line of sight clear, Lian steps over to Teddy's tent. Her eyes never leave the trees as she fetches a couple of moderately serious kicks to the sleeping lump against the side of the tent.

"Get up, Star. Now!"

There's a choice expletive or two uttered from the lump that is obviously no longer sleeping. Teddy scrambles out of the tent, wearing only a pair of flannel pants and headphones, the latter of which he's untangling from himself as he exits.

"The hell?"

"Ooof," Iris lands on all fours as Jeannie slams into her back.

She's really scared now, shaking almost uncontrolably.

And a shaking speedster is not a happy speedster.

Another scream comes in with the wind, this one ceasing suddenly a few moments later.

Cerdian slips out of the tent a moment later.

"Who's screaming? What's wrong?"

"I'm going to find out," Teddy says, before misting up into the treetops. He slept with the cosmic belt on, just in case, considering Iris and Jeannie had been so jumpy.

Solidifying up through the canopy of trees, Teddy can see another campsite's fire to the northeast. There's too many trees to see anything in detail, but that's definitely where the screams are coming from. Teddy drops back down to camp. "A mile or so down the hill, northeast. It's, um-- maybe it's a bear?"

Iris stands up, brushing some of the dirt off of her bare knees.

"Maybe...Teddy, Cerdian, and I should go check it out?" she asks, still shivering, "Just in case?"

Psycho slasher, psycho slasher....

"Teddy and Cerdian, but you can zip between here and there, so I want you to stay here and be ready to run," Lian says, grabbing her utility belt and putting it on over her sweat pants. "Star, can you give Cerdian a lift?"

Ty is staring into the woods, eyes blank, listening to the green and the red every bit as much as the more tangible voices around him. Eventually, the sound of his name filters through and he snaps aware.

"Something... really wrong. Its not a bear... or just a bear. There's something causing it." he mumbles, before a yellow platform appears in front of the non-fliers. "I'll get everyone there, come on."

He has to move quick. Something is really, really wrong, and he can feel it speaking to him.

Yeah, Teddy's going to trust the guy with the crazy all-seeing eye or whatever thing it is at the moment. Teddy's bad feeling about this just went up about five notches.

"Ready." He flanks the platform so the non-fliers are between them to head in.
