"Well, he or she died of something - so we should have our eyes open.." Al shrugged and leaned towards the nearest wall, or whatever it was. "Was there any traces of clothing? Then we could know if there was a Marine, or just someone else.." He asked, but didn't bothered to look for it himself - and instead just placed his arms across his chest.
Jim followed Loki's gaze towards the sun, and nodded to show him that he agreed. They wouldn't be able to see something in the dark anyways, so it was best to set up some kind of camp. "Captain!" Jim called out at Akima. "How about we finds a good place to rest and start a fire?" He asked as he began to walk over to the two other.

"Nope. No cloths whatsoever," she pouted, looking back towards the bones. She raised an eyebrow as she thought she saw somethign shifting in the shadows. Turnign ehr attention to Jim, she thought for a moment befoe giving him a nod. "I guess the real action around here is during the night anyways," she winked at Aladdin as she passed him.
Loki wacthed the pirate set up camp, keepig himself a little further away as he tried to figure otu the lock. im was right, why the hell put a locket on a note book? It wasn't exactly a diary...

Jim nodded at Akima before he began to set up something they could call a camp. That which took the longest time was to find something to make a fire of. But a bit away he found some pieces of wood from something that possible could be a chair. And they made a fire right before it went dark. The sun still made some light in the sky, but the ruins around them made the ground dark. Once everything was done, he glanced over at Loki - and slowly walked over to him. "Hey.. Still can't get the book to open?" he said with a gentle smile
Aladdin didn't do so much to help, and instead just sat on a ruin and cleaned his sword. He wasn't the "helping type", and since he was mostly alone - it was hard to be part of a group. "I can take first guard if there is anyone who wants to sleep.." he called out to the others before he soon went back to his sword.

Once the fire had been set up, and everyone gatherd around it, Loki still made sure to sit by himself, but still closeenough for the light from the fire to reach him. Once in a while, he kept castign a glance towards the shadows around them, but mostly just stared down at the book in his lap, toying with the silver pendant silently. Wow.... he hasn't been this quiet since... was he EVER quiet? He glanced up at Jim for a second, before looking back down. "No..." he murmured. "Maybe I'll just take up on your offer and shoot it open."
Akima slumped down on the ground, leaning backwards on her hands as she stared boredly up at the moon. She would've enjoyed the peaceful moment, if she had been someone else. "I'm to bored to get some sleep, but sure, keep watch. Yell if you see some danger," she half joked. Yawning, she lazly laid down, arms under ehr head as a pillow. "So, what exactly should we be careful of 'guide'?" "....try to avoid the shadows... that's all I know at the moment...." She snorted out a laugh. "Expert my ass..."

Jim began to smile brightly once Loki mentioned his old idea, but didn't took up his gun. Even if it could maybe open the lock, it would still make too much noice - and whatever it was out there could find them easier. "it must really say something important if it was a lock.. Hopefully something about this town" Jim said as he glanced down at the notebook. "Is there something else you know about this city? Something usefull?"
"Will do.." Aladdin nodded with a little smile at Akima as she laid down on the ground. "How can we possible avoid the shadows? They are all around us.." He said with a little frown before he glanced at the fire. "But is it shadows created from the light, or just the darkness itself? If it is because of the light - then we should put out the fire..."

"The more light, the safer," Loki said simply, slightly glarign towards the two who were desperate for danger. His replyonly seemed to make their captain more amused. He sighned under his breath. "This town is... one fo th biggest mystery on Messaline, barely anythign is known about this place," he explained to Jim. "The only thing we do kow is, from one lonely surviour who died a day after he said it, where his last words: 'Count the shadows'". He went quiet for a moment, before crackign a small smile up to the older teen. "Makes it feel liek ghost story come to life don't ya think?"

Jim smiled slightly, even though it was nothing to smile about. But it was a little funny, and he was glad that Loki was there - it made the whole situation better. If it had been just him, Akima and Al - it would've been a much worse. "Kinda.. And hopefully we will come out of this alive." He chuckled and laid down on the ground with his hands under his head. "This planet is so weird.. You people barely know anything about the other planets - but you don't know so much about this one either.." Jim sighed as he looked at the stars.

Loki chuckled quietly at the other, toying with the silver pendant while gazing up at the bacl night sky. It was as fi the shadows even coverd up the stars from here.... "Sad I know. So can you really lame me for being so curious about every little thing?"

"I guess not.." Jim sighed before he began to smile a little. "So what are you going to do when all of this is over and our ship is fixed? Will you leave this place and come with us?" He asked and turned his gaze towards the younger teen. "It's not like you have a family here or something, right?"

Loki's eyes widened for a second in surprise. Him? COme with them? A crew of pirates? He doubted he would even be alive by then... "Well, sicne your captain doens't mind you having a 'pet' as she called me, why not?" he said sarcasticlly, at the moment not really beliving a time like that would ever come. For him to be bale to leave this place. "...i might nto have a 'family'... but there are still people i care about, that I would feel bad for leavign behind," he said with a small smile. "Why, would you miss my company?" he joked.

Jim let out a little laughter before he turned his gaze up to the nightsky again. Feeling bad for leaving people you care about behind?.. Jim had never even felt that feeling, not even when he left his real family.. "Of course I would.. We're pals, right?" Jim said with a eyebrow raised as he glanced at him. "And if you really want to get out of there, your friends will understand.. If they don't - then they're not really your friends.."

His smile fell, and looked away from the older teen. "They would understand," he murmured, more to himself than Jim. "They woudl just die to go out there as well and see for themself..." Sighign again, he turned his attention back to the book, deciding to try and break up the damn lock once more. "If we're 'pals' as you put it, I trust you can keep em safe from the rest fo crew," he said blankly, mocking, as eh cast a quick glance at the captain and Al. "I woudl get harassed for the rets fo my life if I went with you."

"Of course.. I'll protect you, I promise.." Jim said with a gentle smile as he studied the younger one. "But they aren't so bad as you think.. Soon they'll be like a family to you, and you never want to leave them.." He said quietly and glanced at the other two pirates.
Aladdin leaned his head on a stoneblock behind him and let out another sigh. He turned his gaze to Akima - which he didn't know if she was asleep or not. "hey..?!" He said calmly and whispered her name so that he wouldn't wake her up incase she was sleeping.

He blinked, face blank for a moment before lettign a small smiel show. "I guess....most be soem reason you enoy following your captains orders so much," he winked teasingly as he saw Jim look towards the other two.
Akima ahd her eyes close, but she was anythig but asleep. "I'm still alive," she replied, turnign so she was facing Al more. "Just waitign for something to happen," she pouted. "Cute how the kids are getting along so well huh?" she winked wickedly.
Further away from them, the shadows had started to move soundlessly between the rocks and ruins, until they had the small group around the fire circled, and then... waited.

"She kinda saved me.. She could've killed me - keeping me hostage to get whatever she wanted.. But instead she opened her arms for me and let me be a part of that family.." Jim said blankly before he smiled gently at Loki again. "I want to save you too.. From this weird place -- help you to get all of your dreams come true.." He said quietly before he turned his gaze to the sky again.
"I guess.." Aladdin rolled his eyes once he gazed at the teens a bit away. None of them had really been to any use yet, so he just thought they were annoying. "Hey, Akima.. You haven't told me yet what happened in the garden earlier." He said a bit serious and looked at her carefully. - unknown about the danger that was surrounding them.
