Theatre is : Guadalcanal
Coordinates : 10 13
This is a true tropical jungle. Life is all about you - vines coiling around hardy trees, snakes slither through the thick undergrowth, birds of paradise chatter from the branches up on high. But in truth this is no paradise. Dim even during the day due to the thick growth, seemingly wet and stiflingly humid all the time, disease ridden mosquitoes swarm to suck the blood of human intruders to this very foreign land.
Woods is helping digdig along then. Woods is humming, and frowns as he hits a root. Whappawhappawhapp— WHUNK. "Geez…"
Grayling loiters in the trench near the back, looking thoroughly miserable. A faint but omnipresent smell lingers about him, and that, combined with the pale and sickly look might give a clue as to the Horrible Affliction which poor Grayling happens to be suffering from at the moment. Still, he can stand, he can shoot, he can die. Ready for duty!
It's just after midnight on a muggy night. The everyday din of the jungle is the only sound other than that of the soldiers as they stand their posts along the front.
Yahzee sets down his trench shovel, taking a seat to have a break under the respite of the coolness of a night without the overbearing heat of the sun.
Jenkins keeps working at it, pausing only to lob a hand sized stone a foot or two nearer the airfield. He digs his chipped entrenching tool into some soft ground a moment to wipe his sweaty brow with his conveniantly bandaged hand.
Kappedal has been going about his usual duties. Helping the Marines dig for the most part, stopping when someone cries out in pain to see to their lacerations and ant-chewed flesh and raging fevers.
Shoot. His shovel is stuck in the root he's been grappling with. Woods gruuuuuuuuunts and leans back. FWANK! His shovel comes free and he falls over backwards. He oofs and glares at it. Flora… FLORA! He shakes a fish at it. He pauses, noticing Grayling. Or rather the smell first. He tries to hide his reaction. "Hey buddy," A smile. Woods is friendly at least.
Grayling leans against the wall of the trench, clutching at his guts as a stab of pain lances through him. "Oh, fuck…" he mutters, and grunts and whimpers a bit pathetically. The attack seems to pass, though, and he lets out a sigh of relief. "I hate this god awful island." he observes with feeling, and peers out into the green. Japs, everywhere.
Jenkins takes the opportunity to look out over the sand bar. "All quiet." He mutters, looking further south. "Even down there." He goes back to his digging, then appears to tire and looks up again. "What the?" He mouths. "You guys see anything?"
Vouza staggers out of the treeline on the opposite side of the river, a lone native wearing just a loincloth. He weaves erratically as he slowly makes his way across a sandbar connecting the two sides of the river here near the river's mouth.
Yahzee pulls out a C-rats tin, opening it to sniff at the undistinguished contents. With a wrinkled nose forming a frown, he uses his knife to spear chunks of anonymouse meat to lift to his mouth and eat.
Kappedal shoots Grayling a sympathetic look. They're seeing a lot more of that these days. But if your fever's under 103 and you're standing, you're kicked out of the aid station. He shakes his head to Jenkins, crouching down in the mud to check his kit for the tenth time today.
"If you mean mosquitoes and mud, then yeah." Grayling replies diffidently. "If you mean Tojo, then no. Good.". He gets out his e-tool and digs with a distinct lack of vigor.
Woods gives Grayling a sympathetic look too. Want some water or anything?" He asks quietly. He peers to the north now. "
Yahzee squints for a moment, "Hey" spoken over to the others in the squad. "See someone. Over there." as he sets the rations tin down and draws up his rifle. "Looks like an islander" nodding his head east as he points the rifle that way.
Jenkins has his rifle pointed at the uncomming native before he convinces himself that the single swaying man isn't an assualt. "Please tell me I'm not seeing things." He mutters before speaking up. " Well I see one man, looks pretty beat up, could be Tojo but I can't see a helmet." A pause as he lowers his gun. "I'm not even sure if he can make it over here."
Vouza stumbles and falls, making a splash in the shallow water across the sandbar. He drags himself back to his feet with great effort and keeps walking.
"What?" Kappedal lifts his chin, looking at Jenkins and then squinting into the fading light past the trench lip. Standing up, he moves to the edge of the trench. "Anyone following him?"
Yahzee shouts, "HEY, MAN ON BEACH. WHO GOES THERE?".
Woods looks to the east, and squints. "He does look kind of beat up," Woods seems concerned, momentarily distracted from Grayling and his misery. "I don't see anyone after him," The green-eyed man adds. "If you go though, I'll go with you."
Yahzee calls out in English, though doesn't look certain the target might understand the language.
Jenkins hadn't considered that. He takes the opportunity to peer behind the man. "Not that I can see." A pause. "Right, here we go then." He takes a deep breath and starts to climb out of the trench. "Could be one of those coast watcher guys, civilian likely as not." This apparently by way of explaining why he's exposing himself to goodness knwos what.
«Ground Combat» Jenkins moves out of Front Line Trench.
Grayling peers at the guy wandering around out there clutching a machete with disinterest. Really, right now he's rather short on charity. He shakes his head wordless when Woods offers him water, and stops digging until this little incident is over.
Vouza half-lifts a hand in response to the call, but doesn't answer back. He continues to walk slowly toward the American lines, almost stumbling again before he manages to catch himself.
Yahzee keeps his rifle up, covering the approaching man. There's a squint to try to make out as much as he can in the darkness. "He waved or somethin, looked like."
Woods blinks, squinting. Woods shakes his head. His eyes go wide as Jenkins climbs out. "Hey wait," He murmurs and follows. "Don't go out there alone." He nods at Grayling in passing, and follows Jenkins now. "He's probably friendly if he's coming to us," Woods considers.
«Ground Combat» Woods moves out of Slit Trench.
Jenkins shouts, "HELP IS COMING. LOWER YOUR WEAPON.".
"I see him," Kappedal whispers. The naval corpsman lets his shoulder drop back behind the trench lip, pulling his medical bag open and pulling some of his supplies up to the top, getting ready to receive injured.
Jenkins yells in english just to make himself a prime target and begins creeping onto the the beach, giving a passing nod to Yahzee. "Keep us safe Injun." Grin.
Vouza doesn't actually have a machete. Must've been a trick of the moonlight. He can barely raise his arm, let alone carry a sword.
Yahzee nods back, "Coverin" as he keeps his rifle levelled pointing east. "Man does look hurt."
Woods is quietly inching towards the native. Alas, poor Woods has a soft spot for the natives here and is a friendly git. He looks really concerned, realizing the native doesn't even have a machete. They ALWAYS have those. He motions to Jenkins that he's ready to move.
Austin looks towards the east, frowning as he watches the people out there, keeping silent for now.
Vouza is going very slowly still, across the sandbar. When Woods and Jenkins get closer, they can see his whole chest is covered in blood, and his arm. He's bruised, battered, stabbed in multiple places - including a scary gash across his throat. Seeing the Americans, he manages to gasp. "Nips come. Come soon."
Jenkins creeps up to Vouza, with caution. "We're here to help ok- Japs?" He whispers, taking a moment to peer behind the man's back. "I think it's safe to help him." he comments, circling round to take the injured man's left arm.
Woods is moving along, quietly as he can. Woods is holding his Reising steady. He smiles weakly at the man, then his eyes go wide, "Jacob…" He remembers the man and rushes over. He blinks at the news now, "Oh…" Oh damn. And a throat wound. Noooo, no Flag Native. He offers his left arm for support, keeping the right for his Reising. "C'mon, we've got to tell them and get you over there, you'll come with us," He whispers.
Jenkins decides he should have just let Woods do the talking. With that in mind he takes an arm and half carries Vouza back the way they came.
Kappedal can see Woods and Jenkins trying to help the man back. He grabs the edge of the trench and, keeping his head very low, pulls himself up onto the muddy ground, ready to grab for the injured man.
Vouza gives a grateful nod for the help, still on his feet by some miracle after the wounds that should by all rights have killed him. "Clemens. Must tell Clemens." His voice is worse for the wear given the throat wound. He makes it the rest of the way over the sandbar with their help.
Yahzee mutters, "He said somethin." and then adds, "Be careful. Japs could be usin' him. Like a decoy."
Woods smiles at Vouza. "You'll make it," He promises quietly helping the man over the sandbar. He nods to Jenkins and walks alongside the other man.
Yahzee keeps his rifle pointing east towards the sandbar as the man's brought near to the trench.
Kappedal looks over his shoulder and down at Yahzee. "Think?" He grimaces. "Have to take the chance. He looks terrible."
Austin keeps his attention out there, while hands move to keep the rifle ready for the moment. "If so, we'll take them out," he offers.
Grayling watches the proceedings with a slight headshake. And thinks dark thoughts. Bah. Some beat up native gets all the tender loving care, poor Grayling? He gets to stand on the line with churning guts.
Yahzee draws in a breath as Jenkins arrives, the Navajo radioman still with his rifle lined east covering Woods.
Kappedal has pulled himself mostly out of the trench so he can reach up for the injured man, eyes flickering east past the trio once. "Come on, over here."
Jenkins isn't doing much of the heavy lifting but he's supporting Vouza silently, Woods can do all the comforting muttering, "Clemen's is the flag guy right?" He asks conversationaly as he hands Vouza over to Kappedal. "There you go Benji, better hurry though. He says Japs are coming." That off his chest he practically dives for the nearest trench.
«Ground Combat» Jenkins moves into Front Line Trench.
Woods follows along, bringing up the rear. He'll help Vouza as he can, supporting the man. He looks /really/ worried. "Clemens is British," He whispers to Jenkins. "You'll be alright," He promises Vouza with a smile. He LIKES Flag Native. Gotta respect anyone who can make a british flag look good as attire!
Austin looks out there again, frowning as he watches the emptiness for now.
Yahzee hrmphs. "Still don't see any nips comin. I can radio the report back to HQ."
Grayling slides the barrel of his rifle over the parapet of the trench at hearing the J word, and peers into the dark over comforting iron sights. "We get all the luck here alright!".
Vouza allows himself to be led along to the American lines, nodding to Woods. "Must tell… Nip positions." There don't seem to be any Japanese right on his tail, anyway.
Kappedal's attention is less on Japs behind them than getting everyone into a trench of some sort. "Let's get him back to the Jeeps. Someone can find Christie."
Yahzee slides the radio set off his back to flick some switches and power it up from the batteries. "I can call it in. If they're right behind him, sooner the better."
Jenkins shrugs. "That's the man, the one that came up with the flag thing." He lifts his rifle again. "Right, I suppose we better ask him how long it'll take them to get here." He says helpfully not trying to do anything like that himself.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, HQ CQ CQ. Devil Dog Red reporting.
Woods murmurs softly, "Good idea. But not too much, your throat is hurt." Nod. He just wants to hug the poor guy about now. His buddies are all getting shot. Woods has to wonder if he's just bum luck. He'll help lower Vouza into the trench, for now. At least until a jeep gets here. "C'mon, let's not sit in the open," He smiles to the native, although it's apparent the short man is worried, looking between him and Jenkins.
«Radio» <HQ radios> Devil Dog Red, HQ. Go ahead.
Austin keeps a quiet lookout for now, looking down to his Garand for a few moments, making sure it's fully loaded.
Kappedal slides back down into the muddy, amoeba-soaked trench mud, reaching up hands to help Vouza down into the pit of muck.
«Ground Combat» Kappedal moves into Slit Trench.
«Ground Combat» Vouza moves into Slit Trench.
«Ground Combat» Woods moves into Slit Trench.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, Contact made with local. Wounded, need medic evac. Name unknown, asking for Clemens. Says has info on Jap positions.
Someone is enjoying a close personal relationship with the amoebas.
Vouza takes the hand down and promptly collapses into the muck, breathing hard. He remains conscious, face taut with pain. Just waiting.
Nothin says I Love You like a dysenteric cyst.
Jenkins is happily in the safety of the trench by now. Apparently he's not bothered by the bleeding man stumbling into the trench system nearby. A couple of sniffs and he steps away from Grayling, giving him a sidelong glance as he does so.
Yahzee has made contact with the headquarters via the field radio, reporting information now and listening for a response.
Woods climbs in after Vouza and Jenkins. He looks to the native, "Jacob." He nods and remembers. Right? Woods is not enjoying a close personal relationship with the amoebas because he feels they come from the wrong side of the tracks and are a bad influence. He'll do his best to hold Vouza out of the muck as best as he can. Although, Woods isn't really that tall or super strong. And he's likely not the cleanest around. "It'll be alright," He promises Jacob, peering out now. He peers out to the east, mostly.
Kappedal reaches back up for Woods' sleeve, yanking the shorter man forward and down. Huzzah. "You okay?" He asks the Californian off the cuff, as he kneels down in the mud next to Vouza and unbuckles his kit. To the native, unsure if he's understood or not, he mutters, "Hold still, I'm going to try and stop this bleeding…" His jaw is tense as he looks the man over. "They did this to you?"
«Radio» <HQ radios> Acknowledged, Devil Dog Red. Help on the way.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, Ack. Devil Dog Red out, over.
Yahzee lifts from the radio, "They're sending help. Probably a jeep with stretchers."
Vouza nods to Woods. "Jacob." He winces as Kappedal goes to work. His throat is the worst of it, slashed right across. He licks his lips and murmurs, "Told them nothing."
Grayling sighs as Jenkins backs off. He's not blind. "Fucks sake, I'll remember this when you lot get it." he grunts unhappily, eying Jenkins with a baleful, long suffering look.
Jenkins looks over to the radio man, down at the bleeding man and back at the otherwise leaking man and sighs. "'S gonna be a long night." He mutters. A lopsided grin to Grayling. "Don't think I met you before." He replies cheerfully, his eyes say, I hope not at any rate. Good thing it's dark really.
Kappedal stops for a second. Vouza's assertion sent a bit of a chill into his gut, and /that/ isn't dysentery. Crap. "Are they far behind?"
Woods blinks, as he's yanked forward and down. Oh yeah. Woods smiles at Ben, grateful. Thank God one of them has good sense. "Thanks. Yeah, thanks. Jacob speaks pretty good english," Nodnod. A smile. He remembers the man's name. Although his smile fades, watching Ben set to work. He'll help as he can, keeping an eye out to the east from time to time.
Austin keeps silent for now, listening to the others as he looks out at the east.
Kappedal freezes, looking up as a flare goes off. That wasn't one of theirs.
Woods blinks. Hey wait… no, no one here shot that - uh oh. Woods turns now towards the east, peering out. "Think we should look north or south too?" He asks quietly.
Grayling glances over at the distant, dark shape of Woods. "I think the Navy is handling the north side." he points out with a slight smirk.
Jenkins watches the pretty light go off somewhere to the east, his grin fades a touch. "That'll be them looking for him." He asserts confidently. No comment on where they should look.
Kappedal also can't help a faint smirk at Gray's answer to Woods. Ocean that way, son. He looks back down at Vouza, working faster now on the man's wounds.
«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Machine Guns from Beach (12 13)!
«Ground Combat» Bullets fly through the air!
Yahzee speaks low, "East still clear. That's the shallows where the river meets the tide at the sand bar." He ducks as a spray of maching gun rounds fills the air.
Austin frowns as the bullets starts flying. "Here we go again…" he mutters, looking more carefully to the east.
Kappedal sucks in a sharp breath as bullets start flying, ducking his head.
«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Rifles from Beach (12 13)!
Shortly after the green flare streaks into the night sky from the eastern bank of the river, machineguns open up. The Americans can hear some voices and rustling to the east, but still can't really see much.
Yahzee snarls back out, "That's from the other side of the sand bar. Not in range. Can't see 'im." as he searches with the rifle's sights.
«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Machine Guns from Beach (12 13)!
«Ground Combat» Bullets fly through the air!
Grayling ducks back himself as bullets patter the ground. Fortunately not very well aimed bullets. "Tojo's coming!" he says, heart pounding, blood pulsing, amoebas fluttering.
Jenkins ducks as someone starts shooting at them. "Or maybe they wanted to attack us in the light." He mutters, raising his own gun. "Reckon we can get some artillery on them?" He shouts over to Yahzee, rather hopefully.
«Ground Combat» You hear the sound of Machine Guns from Beach (12 13)!
«Ground Combat» Bullets fly through the air!
Woods pauses. "Oh right, I'm glad you're smarter than me," He flashes a grin at Grayling and all his flagellating amoebas. His grin disappears and Woods frowns as the bullets fly. Ack! Woods hunkers down, a bit wiser about not going barreling out there now. He keeps watch to the east, peeping out like a helmeted gopher from time to time.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, CQ HQ. CQ HQ. Devil Dog Red reporting. Under fire, over.
Vouza doesn't actually answer the 'far behind' part as the Japanese start opening fire. That kinda answers that. He just waits tensely.
Austin frowns again as the light burns out. "Here they come, probably," he offers.

Jenkins looks on as Yahzee gets on his radio. He focuses on the sandy bit, most of which he now can't see. "Damn those shoddy, Jap lights." He mutters as he goes for a nearby flare.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, Strength unknown, taking MG and small arms fire. Estimate enemy position on east side of Yali River, coords 12,13. No visual contact yet.
Kappedal remains where he is, crouched down by Vouza. The sound of bullets never fails to make his hands shake for a few seconds after the opening volley, but his focus is coming back.
Over the din of bullets, some shouting can be heard from the east bank in heavily-accented English. "You die soon!" one calls. Then soon after, another: "We drink madine blood!"
Yahzee speaks quickly into the radio headphones, reaching for a flare from his belt with his off hand.
Woods stays near the others in the trench. "Let me know if I can do anything," Woods whispers to him and Vouza. A look to Yahzee. Woods is a bit wiggly when nervous and fidgets. He rubs the back of head, "… hey guys, what's a madine?" He looks confused.
"Marine," Kappedal translates the accented english with a grunted breath.
Grayling laughs a bit at that. "Oh shit, I'm so scared I'm gonna…". Then he realises what he's saying and shuts up.

Jenkins was about to fire off his newly acquired flare but stays his hand, a good thing he's been keeping an eye on Yahzee really. The package gets tucked into his belt and he sits down to look for Japs under the new light, all in a days work. The rifle is raised.

Nobuo slices! HA! Ninja Master!
«Ground Combat» You notice Jenkins arrive at Beach.
Grayling arghs, takes a wild swing, tags Nobuo's outstretched grasping fascistic hand. The horror of what happened earlier, the Event, isn't disguised by his pants anymore after all this twirling and fighting. "OW FUCK!". He watches with detached awe as Nobuo messes up his hand.
Yahzee calls to Kappedal. "Man got hit, Kap. Switch to the main trench."
«Ground Combat» Woods attacks Nobuo in melee combat with his KA-BAR and hits! Nobuo suffers 6 wound damage to its right chest.
Kappedal does not draw his gun again, the pistol staying in his trembling left hand as the others shoot and stab. He looks at Yahzee and nods quickly, headed for the other side of the trench.
Austin frowns as he misses Nobuo now, moving for the enemy again. Grimacing at the smells, but then Woods takes out the enemy. "Good work," he mutters, taking a few steps back.
Woods attacks like a rabid gopher. GO FOR THE KNEES WOODS GO FOR THE KNEES. Woods mercifully ends it, having to stand on his tippy toes to stab at the Japanese man. Fortunately, he's clever enough to come from behind and ends the fight.
Nobuo gets stabbed in the heart by Woods, and blinks, muttering something then falls onto Woods, Dead. DEAD dead.
Yahzee spins around, trying to get a look back east now. The neglected source of rifle-wielding Orientals. "That MG's still out there."

«Ground Combat» Kappedal moves into Front Line Trench.
Grayling falls back, hand throbbing, as Nobuo finally, finally dies! "Get me out of here." he moans from the stained floor of the trench. "I can't take any more.". He grunts and another foul torrent adds to the already noisome trench. The US is in breach of the bioweapons convention here.
Jenkins dashs back to the trench. Just in time to see the demon of a fighter he left get a hole added to his chest, by… Woods. He eases himself into the blood soaked trench, looking rather grim.

Kappedal shuffles into the bigger area of the trench. His uniform's splattered with blood, as is his face, some of it Marine and some of it Japanese. Grabbing gauze out from his bag, he moves quickly. "Call out if you're wounded!"
Woods blinks. "Over here," He waves to Kappedal. A smile at Austin's compliment. Although he winces at the ick being added. He doesn't comment on it, "You

Yahzee growls low. "That's Jap arty. Can't be ours." as he tries to keep close to vegetation for at least some minimal cover and concealment.
Jenkins looks down at himself, and by extention the trench, he blanches. "Yeah, me." He adds quietly, probably too quietly to be noticed over the din of mortars.

"You'll be alright, promise." He nods at Grayling. At least Woods is well mannered enough not to comment. He tries not to breathe too deeply though. Woods slinks back to his own trench, eyes wide at the yelling. And a nod at Jenkins. He is slinking though!

«Game» Woods unjams his Reising SMG!
From Beach, Grayling shouts, "SIR! SIR! PERMISSION TO RETIRE, SIR!".
Austin starts making his way in the direction of the other trench, away from the stench now. Reloading as he moves.
«Ground Combat» Austin reloads his Garand!
«Ground Combat» Woods reloads his Reising SMG!
«Ground Combat» Grayling reloads his Garand!
Jenkins tries not to look at the floor, having to tred in the stuff is bad enough. A look out east and he quickly lights a smoke, which almost masks the stench of death, fear and ameobas.
Kappedal doesn't have the luxury of avoiding stench. He does hold his breath as he can, grimacing as little as possible as he grabs for Grayling's wounded hand. "Hold /still/."
Yahzee draws in a deep breath. "Everyone make it?" as he looks around, more noticeably to the front line trench. The young man's sweating heavily, adrenaline still rushed.
Grayling is delirious or something, or just in a very bad mood. He fumbles with his rifle even as Kappedal tries to treat him.
Woods makes it back to Yahzee, "So far. Couple wounded. Think I should learn to use the BAR?" He looks to the taller man for guidance, it seems. While asking, he sits to unjam his Reising. "This damn thing… I swear it comes prejammed," Grumble.
Grayling shouts, "GET ME OUT OF HERE, DOC! I'M BLEEDING REAL BAD!".
"More or less," Austin replies to Yahzee, as he glances back towards Grayling.
Kappedal can do very little for the man's shredded hand. The yelling is starting to grate badly on the young man's nerves and he grits his teeth hard enough to chip his onw enamel. "He's not going to be too good in another engagement," he calls to Yahzee.
Yahzee grunts low over to Woods. "The Browning?" and squints to him. "Maybe. Big gun to carry, though. Different 'n that." motioning towards the smaller fellow's SMG. "Want me to call in a jeep with stretchers, Corpsman?"
Jenkins looks down again, choking back some of his own 'fear'. He nods to the chorus and takes a deep nicotine and tar laced breath, getting sniped is better than that smell any day.
Kappedal nods to Yahzee. "Jenkins should head to back lines too, soon as they come."
Grayling shouts, "AAHAHHHHHH OH FUCK!".
Grayling's injuries seem to have alerted the amoeba that it's time to flee.
Yahzee nods to affirm Kappedal's signal, and reaches for the headset to turn it around again, speaking into the mic.
«Game» Woods assists Yahzee!
Kappedal must be shaken or something. He can't seem to do shit for Grayling's wild bleeding. He can, however, smell shit, and he looks like he might have to take a break to throw up soon.
«Radio» Yahzee radios, HQ CQ. Devil Dog Red requesting stretcher team. Situation clear for moment, about three WIA, one serious.
Jenkins uses his left hand. "He nods to that, surprisingly the bloodloss is bothering him this time, despite the short run. "I think I'll try to walk it." He says, looking in Grayling's direction. "This stuff looks worse than it is, didn't affect my aim none." Lies lies.
«Radio» <HQ radios> Devil Dog, HQ. Message received. Jeeps on the way.
Woods nods to Yahzee, "We'll see." He goes quiet and helps adjust as needed. Although, Woods reaches into his pocket for a tiny vial to sniff. Ah, mom's essential oil bug repellant. Good ole cloves. Now it's poo and cloves, but a good distraction. He tucks it away after a moment, turning east to watch again, and looking to Kappedal. "Need help?" Woods offers. Oh naive Woods…
Grayling grunts piteously and clings to Kappedal, who looks ready to leave or something. "Don't leave me now man! It's bad, it's really bad!". He's got plenty wrong with him alright.
Yahzee reaches to rest a hand on Woods' shoulder after calling in the medevac request. "Jeeps on its way." over to the Naval medic, then more quietly to Woods. "Stick here with me, bud. Need two to hold this trench."
Kappedal nods to Woods. His skin, normally pale anyway, is kind of greenish-looking at the moment. "Yeah, just…hand me those bandages." His arm jerks as Gray clings to him. "Man, calm down! It's okay, we're getting you out of here. Promise."
Quaid is muttering curses as he crashes through the jungle, eventually hopping down into the trench. Nose twitches. "The fuck's that smell?" he mutters. "What are our orders?" he says, looking around.
Woods reeeeeeeeeaches to hand over bandages, although he stops as Yahzee reaches over and sets a hand on his shoulder, he nods. "Sure thing." Poor Woods is on his tippy toes. Better hope he doesn't fall over… A big grin seeing Quaid. "DOM!" He pauses at the smell comment. "Um." Well, there's no not-awkward answer with Grayling right there.
Yahzee nods slowly to Woods, then speaks up hearing Quad. "Happens when you bayonet a Nip through the belly."
Jenkins takes another look around. "Hold the trenches. Myself I think we could just let the Japs clean up." He's preparing to leave and is armed with cigarettes. "I'm out of here, not fit to fight." A smirk at that, though both arms are hanging limply by his side now, which makes smoking something of a chore.
Austin frowns a little as he listens, keeping silent for now.
Grayling paws at Kappedal with his good hand. "Oh shit. Oh Jesus H Christ. What has God done dammit! I never realised life could get this low.". He turns to eye Nobuo. Somehow, a corpse makes him feel a little better, counterintuitively. It could be worse, and Nobuo had it worse alright.
«Ground Combat» Kappedal reloads his M1911A1!
«Ground Combat» Jenkins reloads his Garand!
Quaid peers above the trenchline in the darkness. "Which way they coming from?" He brings his carbine up, squinting.
Woods looks to the north as he's leaning precariously to hand bandages. Woods squeaks in fear and falls backwards into the trench, flailing. "I see Tojo!" He points to the north, "Didn't you guys say the Navy had that?! They're coming from the ocean! Aquatic ninjas!" Aaaaagh!
Kappedal does what he can on Grayling's head, which is more than his shaking hands could manage on the man's chest or hand. He sits back on his heels in the mud, pulling his blood-spattered pistol from its holster and reloading the thing, his hand smearing the blood on the grip. His head snaps up as Woods shouts.
Grayling gasps when Kappedal starts playing with bullets. "I can make it Doc, I just need a stretcher!". He struggles to try and stand up to prove the point.
Aoi bobs in the ocean, rifle just above the water, swimming towards the shore.
Masaru doggie-paddles.
Yahzee is still shaken, spinning to point his rifle east when he hears Quad's question. As Woods speaks up, he blinks and blinks again. "The ocean"?
Woods points frantically. "YES!"

Kappedal grabs Grayling's arm. "Get down. Shoot that w-…" Nevermind.
Jenkins looks up and sighs, the smoke goes to the floor, where it puts itlsef out, he raises his rifle with weary hands… and, lowers it again.
Aoi makes it to the beach only to be riddled, and I do say riddled, with bullets. A splishy thud.
Yahzee adds, "One Jap has a sword!" trying to shoot rifle bullets into the group advancing.

"Fuck this," Quaid mutters, scooching away from Masaru. "He's got a fucking sword! Is he insane?"
Masaru drops his gun and draws his katana from its shealth, charging the first person he sees in the trench. He's BLEEDING EVERYWHERE.

Yahzee speaks low, "Think he's down." as Quaid's carbine deals its shot.
Woods looks grateful, he really does. He pauses. "Whoa, Dom." Quaid really tore into Katana guy. That M1 of his! He's wide-eyed. "Think so too," He nods at Yahzee.
«Ground Combat» Woods reloads his Reising SMG!
Kappedal can see the Jap, but he doesn't re-draw his pistol. His hands stay clamped down on someone's injury, his jaw
Grayling flops, sword-psycho is no more. He assumes a beatific look. "Get me outta here…" he murmurs to any within range.
Yahzee mutters low. "They must've had a boat and landed on the beach."
Jenkins leans against the wall to lever himself up onto his feet again as the Jap goes down. A nod to Quaid and shout to Woods trench. "Good call you guys." Now what was on his knee again? This time he really is sick.
Quaid fires off another shot. He drops to a knee and pats his pockets, fumbling for a fresh magazine. He peers east. "Don't see anyone that way. Now, why's it smell like shit again?"
Austin prepares to go for the Jap now, ducking down, as the man goes down. After the enemy's fallen, he looks to that sword, moving to study it a bit.
«Game» Austin loots the body of Masaru
It bears noting that there was no boat in sight, just three Japanese soldiers swimming in the ocean.
«Ground Combat» Quaid reloads his M1 Carbine!
«Ground Combat» Jenkins reloads his Garand!
Woods shakes his head at Quaid. "A lot of reasons. Just be sure to wash yourself as much as you can after." Woods is sage enough to listen to nurses it seems. "I didn't see any boat. I just saw guys swimming," Woods admits. He takes a deep breath and reloads his Reising. "Maybe someone should take that Katana to somewhere safe. I hate leaving pointy things in the trench."
The grotesque stains from ass to boot on the back of Grayling's pants are fortunately mostly invisible in the darkness, confounding Quaid's curiosity. And besides, he slumps onto his back, while waiting to be hurried away. At least he's gone quiet now.
Yahzee nods to Woods, still scanning the darkness with his rifle.
The medics come for Grayling. "Dear god what is that stench??" one of them mutters.
Quaid makes a face. He shakes a cigarette out of a pack and tears it in half, shoving one half up each nostril. "Still don't see anything from the east."
Yahzee shakes his head, "Don't see more out there." and turns to look east once more.
Jenkins wipes his mouth as he stumbles out of the trench, he's not staying in there any longer. The medics have come for Grayling and he'll be damned if he doesn;t walk to wher ehe needs to be. "Good luck." He mutters as he stumbles in the general direction of doctors.
«Ground Combat» Jenkins moves out of Front Line Trench.
Grayling reaches for the medics with a stained hand, like a dying man reaching for the angels about to take him to the Pearly Gates. "There is a god!" he cries.
Kappedal is busy assisting with the wounded, and remarkbly unchatty tonight, keeping his eyes down on what he's doing rather than look around too much.
Woods tries not to laugh at Quaid and the cigarettes stuffed up his nose. "Are you a walrus?" He asks with a grin. He winces though, the stench carrying a bit. He's unsure of whether to be sympathetic for Grayling or worried. "See you!" He smiles at the dysenteric man. yeah, there's a good compromise. A look to Yahzee. He settles in then, to keep watch.
Yahzee calls over to Grayling. "That's not God, that's the Sergeant Major!" and grins. Trying to reassure, he offers a thumb-up.
Jenkins escapes a jeep ride with Grayling. He's off into the jungle on his own, it could be desserting but Ben told him to go to the aid station.
Grayling grunts, "Nothing quite so much like god on earth as a general on a battlefield…" in reply to Yahzee, and gives a weak thumbs up as the medics drag his ravaged body off where he can stink up the first aid station rather than the front.
Austin keeps silent for now, frowning as he looks out there still. Humming something under his breath.
"Hey, smell of tobacco's better than the smell of shit," Quaid grunts. "Why were the Japs in the ocean? Pretty ballsy to try to swim at us."
Woods smiles, and waves to Grayling. "See you," He doesn't seem to mind the stink guy so much. Not too bad when not screaming and flailing or pooing himself. Woods doesn't seem too eager to leave the slightly cleaner trench though. He grins at Quaid. "Not sure. Probably trying to be sneaky."
Yahzee relaxes back as the surroundings quiet, the jeep taking away wounded on stretchers. "Whew." and kicks back. "Somethin' to write home about."
