(Sorry............... I have returned for the foreseeable future) :yeah:
Ruairi:
*walks onto the beach kitted out in all the regular beach gear, sorted for the start of a very early summer as the exams have been completed. As he presses on towards the water he looks around and wonders to himself.*
Where the hell is everybody?
*He pauses as the fresh salt water air hits his face and glances to his left seeing a lonely tree sprouted from the sand, one strong branch looking protruding from the main body looking particularly weathered. Then to his left he sees a giant of a cliff side with hundreds of boulders of many different sizes all crowd around at its' base.*
The Sand Rumbles underneath the young man's feet, the outline of someone seems to be created in the sand, a man with an overgrown, scruffy beard rises from the sand (only his upper body).
"ME KNEES!"
He tilts his head to meet eyes with this man. Scanning his sandy body up and down he inquires about his entrance.
"You don't see that everyday. That's pretty interesting."
The Sandy man starts flapping his hands towards the young man's legs hurriedly, "GET OFF MY KNEES!!!"
Ruairi:
*He quickly side steps away from the man and assumes the cliched karate pose with a bewildered look on his face*
You're... made out of sand?
"Are YOU a madman!?"
He keeps up his stance facing the man wondering what the hell is going on. He glances down at where he emerged from the sand, then at his long scraggy beard.
He stares wide eyed at the crazy man and begins to take many steps backward until it turns into a mad run toward the cliff side. He thinks to himself.
"A minute on this damn beach and a looney is all over me. I wonder if he broke out of a mad house somewhere around here"
He bumps into the man's chest and has thrown backwards onto the sand. He looks up at the man and wonders how he got in front of him so fast.
"What the.. how'd you... Ruairi... And you?"
He stands up and brushes the sand off of his clothes.
"Alright, My Name..."
He is very apprehensive of the man and what he could be capable of.
"So, were you trapped or something?"
"Waiting for someone. Who? If you don't mind me asking"
He notices the tear and his expression becomes more earnest.
