Matsu felt drained and he stumbled back into a sitting position. He pressed his face to his hand and then rocked some, why was this happening? He stood up slowly, was he the only one who reacted so badly? At least people seemed to be concerned about the person who had fallen off the sand speeder. He could vaugley see someone standing in the sand behind them, trying to catch up.

Yasuo watched the people on board the sand sailor. Ryu followed Yasu's gaze, and turned his attention to Fenny who was shouting for them to stop, as she seemed to be the loudest. "Someone else will pick him up sooner or later, so could you please stop yelling?" Ryu was becoming rather annoyed. He was stuck on a crowded sand sailor with a bunch of strangers, oen of which had threatened Yasu. Shouting and yelling in the heat was the last thing that would be helpful.

(OOC - Pretend I rewinded a bit for the first paragraph)
"Well..." he blushed a bit, "I never actually had the 'traditional training,' but I managed to build my own skills with it." He patted his waterskin, "Though I wouldn't mind teaching you. See, I was also raised in the Earth Kingdom, but not by my real parents. They told me I was from the Northern Water Tribe." Noa reached in hand in the collar of his shirt and exposed a necklace he was wearing. It was decorated with small feathers and animal canines, "This is the only thing I has from home. Never really had the urge to go up North. I guess I'm just not to fond of cold weather, haha."
There was a sudden shake a bang. "What was that?" Noa turned around to see someone was thrown off the sand sailor. Scanning his eyes on board he saw the rest of the passengers in a bit of a commotion. Among then he saw his new friends Matsu seem startled and his girlfriend was yelling to the sandbender on the upper deck to go back and get the man, but they didn't seem to hear her (he couldn't assume the sandbenders were merely ignoring her despite how loud she was).
He stood up and gave a smile to Hati "Miss Hatsuon, I'll be right back, just gonna see what's going on." And he ambled through the deck toward Matsu and his girlfriend to see if he could be of help in the situation (of course he wasn't being nosy).
That's when one of the passengers asked Matsu's girlfriend to settle down, "Someone else will pick him up sooner or later, so could you please stop yelling?" he said.
"But sir," Noa replied, "It's kind of hot out their with no breeze or shade and all..."

(OOC- No problem, we went quite a ways without you ) Hati smiled happily, she liked this man. She gave a menacing frown when sand got blown across her and threatend to mess up her outfit. She shook herself off and carefully walked towards Nao to see what the problem was. Her slippered feet were carefully picking their way through the luggage (it seemed like the mass majority of it was hers.) when she spied the skull laying out. It grinned up at her and Hati let out an ear peircing shriek and jumped backwards, her foot caught on another bag and with some teetering she collapsed into Noa, still shrieking like a banshee who was trying to be murdered. Matsu nearly jumped out of his skin at the screaming. What was with these people?! He was still shaken up by what he had done earlier. Hati's screaming and his lack of sleep were raking on his nerves. Matsu felt like blasting some fire into the air, like a flare, hoping it would shut them all up. Unforntatly firebending would get him killed, and he couldn't firebend really anymore. "Fenny!" He said loudly, having to speak up over Hati's screaming. "He'll be fine, really."

Noa's eye twitched and stood almost paralyzed as a sudden pulse of screeching nearly made his eye drums explode. Noa turned around and just had enough time to catch a falling Hati. "Hatsuon?" he asked quickly with concern. He helped her back on her feet. He then stunk one finger his aching ear. The young lady sure had a voice on her. He eyed around the crowd to see if there was anything threatening, but nothing. "What's the trouble," his eyes still scanning for an answer.

"They killed someone on here! There is someones HEAD here!!" She said hystarically. "This place is horrible! I knew I should have bought my own guide! Oh heavens help me!" She was holding onto Noa's shoulders tightly still, as if afraid the skull might come and attack her ankles and drag her away.

Noa looked down to where Hatsuon pointed; their a dried skull titled up so that the eyes were looking straight up at them. Noa almost laughed. He wasn't at all squimish of it. His mother's relatives were very supertitious and always carried assorments of antiques usually blended with remains of bones and skulls.
"Oh, no need to worry Hatsuon," he knelt down to pick up the skull, "It's just someone's suvenior; they must've dropped." Looking around he saw no one responded to claim. And seeing how frightened Hatsuons was of it, he thought it best to depose of it. In a nonchalant manner he tossed the skull offboard the sand sailor. "You should have some water. The desert sun must have its affects. You can have some from my waterskin. It's filled from the water of the ice spring. He shifted his gave to the cap of his waterskin when he caught a closer glance at Matsu. The man looked sick; he seemed more restless than anyone else around here. He was probably startled by Hatsuon or maybe the skull scared him too.
"Matsu?" he said to catch his attention, "You need something to drink too?" he gestured to his waterskin.

Saiki closed her eyes and tried to ignore the all of the shouting and movement. The first night on this stupid thing and already I'm starting to hate these people, she thought cynically. Her thoughts were interrupted as a skull went flying past her face on its way overboard. Well, that's not something you see everyday. She shifted her position, wedging herself further into the back corner of the ship and wished silently for everyone to either be quiet or fall overboard.

"We're not stopping." One of the sandbenders finally took a moment to tell her, getting irritated at all the yelling and moving on the sandsailor. "You fall behind, you get left behind." He turned back to his work.
Fenny recoiled from the man, feeling suddenly cold and empty and unable to hear any of the ruckus around her. What kind of people would leave someone to die like that? She turned around and watched as the distant figure chasing the boat finally stumbled and did not get back up.

(OOC- Atmos they're traveling at night since its the coolest time.)
"Its Hati, call me Hati." She insisted after a breathless moment. She shook her head as Noa offered her some water. "I've got my own, but I can't have mirages, whatever those are, its night. Just the stars..." Her expression changed. "Thats a good idea for a dress...just the stars.." She let go of Noa, slightly embarassed at her screaming episode, then muttered something again about buying her own guide. She sat down to the closest seat, sitting right next to Saiki
Matsu looked at Noa and shook his head. "No thank you, I had some...before, I'll be fine." He hesitantly touched Fenny's shoulder. "Fenny, he'll be fine, he wasn't hurt...the next sand sailor will come soon." He said soft and reassuringly

(OOC - Oh crap! >.< *slaps forehead* I edited it so it'd make better sense).
"Alright then," He gave a quick thumbs up to Matsu as he caught up with Hatsuon, aftering hearing the the fallen man will get picked up. He sat beside her and gestured to a hello to the people around him, including a tall women in typical earth kingdom attire(Saiki) After seeing Hati's reaction, he noticed that Hatsuon didn't seem like the type to 'rough it out.'
"So Hati?" He crossed his legs in his sitting position, "What brings you here to the desert? You heading for the Lotus City as well?"

Saiki glanced at the person who had just sat next to her, on her actually. Pulling her hand out from underneath Hati's foot she took a better look and had to bite back a groan. Just great, she thought. It's that nutcase who was screaming before. Some guy waved hello, but she ignored him. Looking quickly away from them, she shifted even further into the corner in an effort to make herself less noticeable.
(OOC -- oops, missed the post before this; fixed)

(OOC- Atmos you don't have to spell out Hatsuon every time, I don't even and she's my character Mostly becuase I can't even spell it ^^; ) Hati was blissfully unaware of Saiki's displeasure, in fact she was to busy wallowing in her own self pity at having to travel on a crowded sand sailor with a psychopathic earthbender who would shoot people off the sailor. She brightend though at Noa's question. "I'm a designer and I design the most fashionable clothing and all the rich and royal people where them and I make people BEAUTIFUL!" She said brightly then looked at Saiki. "Oh!" Hati tapped the uncomfortable girl. "You are so tall, would you like to be a model for me? I'm sure you would do brilliantly."

Yasu looked up at his brother, disturbed by all the noise. "Ryu, why is everyone being so noisy about the bad man?" The kid winced and covered his ears as Hati screamed. "Is somebody strangling a hog monkey? That lady is noisier then everyone." Ryu smiled a bit at his clueless younger brother as the screaming died down.

"By the time the sandsailors come back to pick him up, he'll be nothing but a sundried corpse." Fenny heard herself say. "Effectively, we just saw his funeral." she added. She closed her eyes and breathed out. Now she knew just because they were being guided through the desert didn't mean they were safe. She turned to face Matsu. "Is there any water left? I'm kinda thirsty." she said, trying to alleviate some of his worry.
