Hi guys how is your day going!!

This stemmed from the realization that Yaz likely was already in Wyoming when Brooklynn died so she and Sammy werent together to comfort each other. Sammy may have been out working on the ranch so she didnt see the news so when Yaz called she was so happy, just to be hit with this bombshell.

The rest of the page (B bonding with Yaz (getting matching piercings) and Sammy (dying hair), Yaz in Kausar’s panel fit, and a silly doodle) plus extra as an apology :3

I have been SO ILL about yasamlynn (/p and /r) this week its crazy.

LIKE

I hc that Yaz and B got matching piercings and after B’s death, Yaz still wanted to get more piercings but couldnt bc every time she would try to schedule a time or make an appointment she would remember her and B getting piercings together and get physically ill. SAMMY on the other hand CANNOT BEAR to let her hair fade bc Brooklynn was the one who first dyed her hair and helped her re-dye it when it faded when she was living with her.

There's a character design video up for Chaos Theory.

LOTS of concepts visible here...

Bonus...

[neunhofferart]

Nobody does it like Rianna!!

I think she drew that first Darius image as a warm up, and when we got our first episode assignments I went 'well, no reason to redraw this one!' And just pasted it right into my sbp file haha

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 1 OF JURASSIC WORLD CHAOS THEORY

Some of my favorite shots from Season 1. The first one is from @neunhofferart's dramatic Allosaurus flashbacks from the pilot and the last 2 are from deleted scenes (also from the pilot). Darius was angstier after Brooklynn's death, and there used to be a video of glasses Brooklynn talking to Darius (which was eventually changed to the Nublar 6 interview).

[jupitersrising]

Brooklynn headcanons because I love her:

Glasses user!! She has reading glasses but under no circumstances will she use them. She will zoom in as far as her phone will let her to read articles if she has to.

To add onto that: she hasn't read a physical book in years. She was ready to fight someone (quite literally in SotF) to get some entertainment because she won't admit that she can't read without her glasses that were crushed in the treehouse.

(When Darius finds out he reads to her. After the island, when she stayed over, he would always read late at night when she didn't feel like putting them on again.)

Doesn't really like animals. Not to say that she doesn't think they're cute and fun—she does! But she wouldn't be a good pet owner, she doesn't like having to take care of other things.

Chronically online well into her adult years. She completely deleted her social media after the islands, but I fully believe she has like a dozen fake accounts she uses to stalk various people that piss her off. She will never not be the queen of online drama, even if it is anonymous now.

Bilingual: English and (Latin American) Spanish. But she also knows a handful of phrases in other languages because of how often she travels. i.e how to ask for directions, the bathroom, how to get help, etc...

Ben made her teach him a bunch of "get help" phrases in other languages after he found out. It's how they started bonding.

She knows how to lock pick (canon actually) but the first time she showed anyone was those was when she was six. She was playing spies with her dads and it "wasn't realistic enough." To this day, her dads don't actually know where she picked it up.

Her dads get married two times. Once when she was "dead" on Isla Nublar and other time after she gets home. The second is more one big party/excuse for the N6 to visit each other again. But her dads are fine with using their second wedding to see their daughter happy.

Did tap-dancing as a kid. It is her greatest shame, she will never let anyone find the home videos of her practices. (They do find the videos and won't shut up about it for weeks).

[keen-eye]

give Brooklynn her glasses

NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU (long haired ben & glasses brooklynn)

[yasamlynn]

baldy is forever in your debt

Aaaand another one for the crop top gang!!

(Idea from baldy, tyy :)))

Pixie cut + buzz cut version under the cut!!

[rainha-do-labirinto]

So, I've had his vision in my head for a Chaos Theory animatic but since I can't draw, I'll share it here with the hopes that someone who can gets inspired by it.

It would be an animatic with the song Helena by MCR, specifically the scene in which the band descends the stairs holding the coffin with the dancer inside. Basically, I'd just replace the characters from the music clip with characters from Chaos Theory.

The dead ballerina would be Brooklynn of course, since she's "dead".

Gerard Way would be Darius since he was the one that mourned Brooklynn the most.

Kenji would be alongside Darius holding the other edge of the coffin, since he also loved Brooklynn.

This guy with the glasses would be Ben with his hair all wet.

And those two guys would be Yaz and Sammy.

What do you think?

MY THOUGHTS ON JWCT S2!!!

SPOILERS BELOW ↓

ok first of all, WHAT A SEASON. there was so much suspense and I LOVED it. I also was so much more attached to the dinosaurs this time, I'm usually more about the characters but they were so cutie pie (rip suchomimus I loved you buddy...)

here's some key takeaways I had!

ok no one hate me for this but I genuinely disliked brooklynn until this season... I LOVED her flashbacks and getting the whole story explained was so awesome

KENJI... KENJIIIIII.......... MY SON...... I FEEL SO BAD FOR MY BOY...... but man I feel like his issues were resolved way too quickly I wanted a breakdown out of him SORRY

yasammy the actual cutest as always. I am so proud of them. I have rooted for them since jwcc s1

I LOVED ZAYNA AND HER FAMILY!! she was a really likeable character! and her parents were so fun and endearing

the moment where kenji sees brooklynn through the glass THAT SHOOK ME

why was the hippo scarier than the dinosaurs lowkey

THE ENDING AUUUUUUGHHHH

[campbenji]

CHAOS THEORY TRAILER THOUGHTS UNDER THE CUT

i have very mixed opinions on everything but after watching the trailer like 5 times:

-the tone of the show is going to be SO much darker than the original, maybe even darker than s3, which has me so excited but also so scared for the kids

-i might be stuck on the denial stage but i'm starting to firmly believe that Brooklynn is not dead. i'll make a separate post about it but i don't think she'd get killed that easily

-also, such a slay character design for 10 seconds of screentime? i refuse to believe it.

-talking about character designs, most of their timeskip looks are pretty cool?? Sammy's is my favorite, she and Yaz finally got done justice. Kenji is ok, i guess??? there's nothing really bad about it, but idk, it's just not as interesting as the others

-if i had a nickel for every time Darius had survivor's guilt over the "death" of a loved one, i'd have three nickels which is more than fucking enough please let him rest he's so tired

-BUMPY SHE'S THERE SHE'S THERE ASJKJAAJFJKDFD

-at first i thought most of the action was going to take place either on Darius's cabin or on the road, but some frames look like we might also see Sammy's farm?? if so, i'm going to be so happy we've been waiting so long for this

-if Daniel Kon is behind all of this chaos i'm going to bite something. STAY IN JAIL AND LEAVE THEM ALONE. IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS AND YOU'RE WASTING RESOURCES ON GETTING REVENGE ON A BUNCH OF KIDS WHO KICKED YOUR ASS ONE TIME. GET A LIFE.

-Yasammy is alive and well can i get a wahoo 🎉🏳️‍🌈

-who the fuck is that glasses guy i feel bad vibes from him

-DARIUS MIMICKING THE T-REX SCENE CAN WE GET A LITTLE COMMOTION FOR THAT 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[swan2swan]

Fanartists: Do Your Thing

Also the artist who did this art hasn't posted it individually yet I don't think??

But I need everyone to know that if it wasn't so awful to do in 3D animation on a budget we could have had long hair Ben TvT

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (Gender Neutral Reader Insert)

Chapter 7: Welcome to Jurassic World

<- Previous Next ->

When you awaken, your eyes refuse to focus. Your sight is blurry, and it’s as if everything had been covered in black smog.

A cracked windshield greets you once your vision clears, some small pieces hanging by a thread or just completely gone. You’d have to check yourself for any protruding glass later.

Blinking away any lingering blurriness, you realized that the black smog was actually smoke coming from the hood of the car.

“Is everyone okay?” Darius mutters, his voice hoarse.

“Is everyone…?” Yasmina chuckles at his words, but you can hear the undeniable anger in her voice.

She trudged past everyone, throwing open the back doors and jumping out sluggishly.

Oh right, what was even more embarrassing than crashing the van was the fact that Sammy had you all right under her thumb. Well, except Brooklynn, of course.

Sammy calls out to Yasmina, but she pays no mind to the girl and instead walks away from the van with a livid expression. As the two girls walk off, the rest of you hop out of the van to access the damage.

The front of the hood is crumpled, black smoke pouring out of it like a volcano about to burst. The culprit in the crash was a large rock, about the same size as the hood itself.

Other than a singular crack running across the middle of it, the rock didn’t seem to be affected by you crashing into it. But of course, a rock is a rock, and a van is a van.

….

Do you have a concussion or something?

As you and Darius stare down at the hood of the car, Yasmina and Sammy’s argument continues.

“We’re in the middle of a jungle with a monster dinosaur out there, and you…” Yasmina’s words fall short, her rage overwhelming her. “You…”

“Destroyed our only way to get help and lied about it!” Brooklynn finished for her. “I told you guys!”

“So, you did take Brooklynn’s phone?” Darius says in disbelief, his eyes narrowed in a mix of exhaustion and betrayal. “Why? What were you doing?”

While Darius and Brooklynn walk forward to interrogate Sammy, you stay back to think about what to do next. Sure, Sammy’s deception was surprising, but the van was undoubtedly more important. Now all of you would have to continue on foot, and so far that hasn’t gone too well.

“Probably trying to erase my video of her taking those samples from the Sinoceratops.” Brooklynn huffs.

Sammy gasps, her eyes full of guilt. She looks to Yasmina, but upon meeting her angered stare, she lets her gaze fall to the ground.

“And you knew about the Indominus rex because you were snooping around Dr. Wu’s office when I ran into you. I knew it!” Brooklynn yelled, her shattered phone held tightly in her hand.

Is that where they went? You noticed Brooklynn was gone, but Sammy had never even crossed your mind.

“I didn’t mean to destroy the phone. I fell on it when the zipline came down and–”

“But you did steal it?” Ben interrupts her. “You had it this whole time and didn’t tell us?”

Darius walks forward. “Hold up. What were you doing in Dr. Wu’s office, Brooklynn?”

“I…” Brooklynn begins, but when her eyes land on Sammy, she avoids the question altogether. “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t break our only way to call for help and then lie about it! This is not my fault! This is her fault! She–”

“I’m here to spy!” Sammy shouts suddenly, her words causing a confused silence to fall across your group. “For a company called Mantah Corp.”

“Mantah Corp?” Darius wonders aloud, before explaining to the rest of you. “They’re a bioengineering company, big rivals with Masrani. They tried to make dinosaurs, too, but Wu beat them to it.”

“You doomed us all for some lousy company?” Ben snarled.

“Why would you do that?” You asked quietly.

Sammy pauses, her gaze wandering across everyone in the group. She wasn’t going to get out of this, so she might as well explain herself. And so, with a sigh, she does exactly that.

“Our ranch was in trouble, so my folks had to borrow a lot of money from some shady people. We didn’t know that they were fronting for Mantah Corp. They said we’d lose everything unless I spied for them.”

She continued with a shuttered breath. “Use the behind-the-scenes access I’d get at camp to gather info from Wu’s lab, and DNA from dinos, and whatever else they needed.” She spares a glance towards Brooklynn, her head lowering with guilt.

“But then Brooklynn caught on, and I got scared, and then everything went wrong.” She walks towards Yasmina, her face wrinkled with remorse. “This is the last thing I wanted to happen.”

“Oh.” Yasmina scoffs. “To be next to a broken van on a killer dinosaur island? Hey, me too! What are the odds?”

“Yaz, I–”

“Was it all a lie, wanting to be friends? Pretending you cared about…” Yasmina’s voice trails off, before getting back on track. “You just needed someone to hide what you were doing. Tell me I’m wrong.”

The only answer she gets is a shuttered sob from Sammy.

“I’m such an idiot.” Yasmina murmurs before turning around and walking off.

Sammy follows her, trying to explain her actions. She places a hand on Yasmina’s shoulder to stop her.

“Don’t touch me.” With a tense jaw and clenched fists, she pushes the girl’s hand off her. “Go away, Sammy.”

With watery eyes, Sammy runs away from the group.

With Sammy gone, Yasmina rejoins the rest of your group, who all stay awkwardly silent.

Bumpy, unaffected by the sad atmosphere, rears her hind legs to get Yasmina’s attention.

“Not now Bumpy.” She whispers.

“Look, I know the situation we’re in is suboptimal–” Ben starts tersely.

“It’s trash. Just say it’s trash, Ben.” Brooklynn says as she pinches the bridge of her nose.

Ben’s about to continue his attempt at cheering the group up, but a sharp gasp from you distracts him.

“What?” Darius asks, ever the leader.

Ignoring his question, you pull a small shard of glass out of Kenji’s arm, prompting a yelp to escape him.

“It’s gone now.” You answer curtly, throwing the shard off to the distance. Kenji stares at you in what you think is fear, and you almost laugh in his face before Bumpy grabs your guy’s attention.

She jumps and squeals, causing Ben to look at her worriedly.

“Bumpy, what are you…”

A loud rumbling became obviously apparent, and only a second later, the Indominus rex burst out of the treeline.

Everyone runs out of the way, and you hurriedly help Ben and Darius pull Bumpy out of the way so that she doesn’t get squashed.

“This is trash! This is trash!” Ben screams.

Hiding on the other side of the van, confusingly, the Indominus doesn’t bother with any of you. Instead, it bolts in the other direction as it roars.

“It’s running.” You state in a fit of confusion.

“What the…” Darius sputters.

The sound of rotors and gunfire soon invade your ears, a helicopter soon coming into sight chasing after the Indominus.

“Masrani’s helicopter!” Kenji yells as he points to the aircraft. “That’s his call sign on the tail!”

“They’re shooting at the Indominus!” Darius yells over the commotion, quickly pursuing the helicopter, causing you all to do the same.

Eventually, you all come to a stop as an enormous hemisphere comes into sight. Even without your glasses, the geodesic dome was large enough for you to recognize it as Jurassic World’s Aviary. It stored their Pterosaurs, although with the Indominus headed straight for the dome, that’s likely to change soon.

Glass shatters loudly, and yet the helicopter continues its gunfire as it hovers over the dome.

“What was that?” Brooklynn yells.

“Yeah! Kick its butt, Masrani!” Kenji screams, his hands cupping his mouth. “We’re saved! Yeah, baby!”

Kenji turns to Darius, slapping his back playfully. “Ah! I told you, they’ve got it totally under—”

In an instant, the helicopter is falling through the dome, gray smoke trailing after it before an explosion sounds across the dense forest.

A long string of blurs come after the explosion, and you can only hope that they aren’t what you think they are.

“Are those…?” You squint your eyes to differentiate the blurs soaring in the sky, but a tug at your wrists steals your focus.

Darius pulls you closer to the group as he replies. “The Pteranodons got loose. We’re practically sitting ducks! We’ve got to take cover!”

Kenji gasps as he takes the van tablet from Brooklynn’s hands.

“The Kayak River!” He points to a spot not too far from where you all were. “The entrance is near here. It goes underground, beneath the ridge. If we follow it, it’ll take us right to the main park.”

“Then that’s where we need to be. Come on!” Darius shouts, and everyone immediately heads for the Kayak River.

However, Bumpy can’t seem to get the hint that you all need to go. Ben tries to pull her from one side, but with her weight, he can only move her an inch or two away from where she stands.

You run back towards the two, grabbing one side of Bumpy as Ben grabs the other. With a huff, you both hold her in the air as you run after the others.

“Come on!” Darius hollers towards you and Ben, running ahead but never straying too far from the two of you.

Screeching from above becomes fearfully obvious, and you can only push yourself to run faster. Your legs ache, and a cramp in your side steals your breath like a parasite.

One Pteranodon dives, and Kenji, the appointed line leader, has to duck down to avoid its beak.

“Come on!” He yells as he changes course, running through some foliage.

Bumpy’s weight really begins to… well, weigh on you. Your breath comes out in shallow huffs, and a short glance towards Ben tells you he’s in the same boat.

Just before you can reach the tunnel leading towards the Kayak River, Ben’s legs give out, and Bumpy’s mass is shoved onto you. Her weight forces you down to the ground with her and Ben.

In an instant, Darius is in front of you, trying his best to pull Bumpy towards the tunnel where the rest of the group had already gone. Ben and you try to push her as Darius pulls, giving up on the whole carrying thing. Still, she only shrieks in fear of the situation.

A screech from above finally scares her into getting a move on, and she rushes past the three of you. The victory is extremely short-lived as a Pteranodon dives towards you all with ill intention.

You yowl in fright, pawing at the dirt to pull yourself upright and into a running position. Darius and Ben scurry after you, screaming all the while.

Running into the tunnel doesn’t grant you any safety, as the Pteranodon follows with determination. Its piercing cry echoes on the concrete walls.

Lit up by electric lanterns, a sliding door leading to the river attraction becomes your goal destination. Ignoring the soreness in virtually every part of your body, and the pounding in your head, you center your attention on the small gap between the door and the concrete frame.

Barging into the Kayak River area, twist your body in order to avoid stepping on Bumpy. With a leg up in the air, and your other foot bouncing to balance yourself, someone flings themselves into you before you can stabilize yourself.

You and the perpetrator fall to the ground, and though you expect to crack your head open on the concrete floor, your head meets a wooden dock instead. You can’t say the same for your back, sadly.

Pushing yourself up and onto your elbows, you stare with narrowed eyes at the culprit. Ben ignores your heated glare, koala-hugging you in response. You try standing, but the boy sticks to you like glue despite your efforts to peel him off. Gloomily accepting your fate, you survey your new surroundings.

Yasmina stands in front of the door, having been the one to slide it shut after the four of you ran in. The animalistic squeals behind the metal door give you tentative relief. Exhausted panting infiltrates the tunnel, everyone too busy catching their breath to discuss anything that had happened just yet.

“Jurassic World River Adventures,”

Ben’s grip on you falters as he looks up at the speakers in the ceiling. “What?”

“Prepare yourselves for the wonder of the underground river. Two adventurers per kayak. Life vests must be worn at all times. Adults, please fasten your own life vests before helping little adventurers. Remain seated at all times. Your journey begins now.”

In due time, Ben releases his grip on you and explores the tunnel with Bumpy. You gladly take a small break away from him. He was getting a bit too clingy for your tastes.

You pick up a stray life vest from the floor, the color a bright yellow hue. Both the vests and the oars had been left scattered around the Kayak River docks. The people down here must have been in a hurry to get out. Has the park already been evacuated?

Striving to forget that thought, you pull the vest over your head and fasten the click belt.

“Brooklynn and I call the CKK.” Kenji announces, hands placed proudly on his hips.

“CKK?” Brooklynn asks.

“Cool kids’ kayak.” He answers, flicking open some sunglasses before putting them on smoothly.

Brooklynn huffs in annoyance.

“Ben and Bumpy can go on this one.” Darius points to a specific kayak.

“I’ll go with them.” Yasmina says as she barges past Sammy. “Let’s go, dude.”

Ben stammers as he’s pushed toward the kayak.

That leaves you, Darius, and Sammy. Seeing as they were nearing the weight limit on Ben’s kayak, and Kenji didn’t invite you to the quote unquote CKK.

And you’re definitely saying that while doing the air quotes in your mind, because honestly, you’re a little peeved that they didn’t invite you.

“Come on, Sammy. Let’s get out of here.” Darius addresses her after a long silence.

She follows quietly as you and Darius lead her towards your guy’s boat.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’d like to thank you for your patience.”

As you all begin your little kayaking adventure, the tunnel becomes darker and darker. Yasmina and the CKK have a little collision because of the darkness, but Kenji brushes off Yasmina’s annoyance.

Your stare travels from the kayaks in front of you to Sammy’s back. You’re not too mad about her betrayal. You’ve only spoken to her once, after all.

You only wonder what the specifics of her situation are. Did her parents tell her to spy for them? Did she do it all on her own? What’s going to happen to her farm now with Jurassic World’s Indominus Rex situation?

You shook your head, putting your focus into paddling the kayak. You didn’t feel like asking her those things. It really wasn’t any of your business. You cast your gaze on Darius instead, who had his full attention on Sammy’s back.

Geez, he’s staring harder than you ever would. You slowly turn your head down towards the water beneath you. Along the walls of the artificial cave, a bioluminescent glow from the algae lights your group’s path.

It’s impressive just how pretty they made this place. You wished you could have come here in different circumstances. Words can’t describe the beauty of the waterfall in the Kayak River. And with the added bioluminescence, it has a magical glow that leaves your bunch gawking at the sight.

Your kayak sits in silence, at least until Sammy has enough of Darius’s prying eyes. Even the beautiful view can’t get her to ignore his prominent staring.

“Just ask.” She mutters.

Darius’s eyes widen upon being caught, his paddling pausing for a moment, though he adheres to her words, regardless.

“It’s just that you talk so much about your ranch and your family, but your family sent you here to break the law.” He draws out his words, awaiting a rebuttal from Sammy.

Sammy immediately turns to the boy, her brows furrowed. “Don’t, Darius. You don’t know anything about my family.”

“I know they put you in danger when they sent you to spy on the park. How can you still defend them?”

“Because they didn’t send me.” She admits. “They said no to Mantah Corp. I was the one who contacted the Mantah Corp agent. I agreed to come here.”

She finally turns to look you and Darius in the eyes. “My family… they didn’t even know what I was planning until I was already on the ferry. Smashing the phone was an accident, but Brooklynn’s right.”

You and Darius’s paddling had just about completely stopped. It’s only when she pauses do you both start up the paddling once more.

She faces away from the both of you, shaking her head earnestly. “This is all my fault.”

“I still don’t see why–” Darius begins.

Sammy turns suddenly, a serious expression worn on her face. “If your family was in trouble, wouldn’t you do anything in your power to save them?”

You and Darius stop in your tracks, her words sinking into your minds like a snake’s venomous fangs. Right, many people would, wouldn’t they?

A dreary atmosphere comes after. No words are spoken until everyone gets farther into the underpass.

“You guys, should the algae be moving?” Sammy questions, her voice loud so that the others could hear her from their kayaks.

On the upper cave ground stood two Parasaurolophuses, their bodies glowing a similar hue to the rest of the bioluminescent cave.

“Don’t panic, guys. They’re herbivores!” Darius reassures. “Unbelievable! Dr. Wu must have put the bioluminescent gene into these Parasaurolophuses.”

They growl deeply, watching calmly as the kayaks pass them by. When Bumpy squeals, however, the Parasaurolophuses crawl into the water. One emerges from the water right next to your boat, scaring the three of you from the sudden appearance.

Darius quickly gets over his surprise, reaching out to stroke its glowing snout in amazement. You watch as a carefree smile stretches across his face.

Though it quickly reverts into an expression of surprise when another Parasaurolophus bursts out of the water on the other side of your kayak, with about four more appearing soon after.

They groan and growl, pushing the kayaks against each other. It’s hard not to fall off of your kayak with the dinosaurs nearly shoving it underwater. The arm of one pushes your side of the kayak down and into the water. You push the arm away from you, aiming to stop the kayak from capsizing.

You can feel the chill of the water creeping onto your arm, and with a final push, the Parasaurolophus releases its grip from your side of the kayak.

Though with the freedom, you get tossed onto Darius’s legs while accidentally kicking Sammy.

She gasps, the kayak tilting to one end as she struggles to stay on board. Darius can only push himself into the kayak to avoid the neck of a Parasaurolophus.

Eventually it dives underwater, a bump coming from under your kayak as it makes its way towards Bumpy. With the disturbance gone, you help Sammy to the middle of the kayak, which settles the previously tilting boat.

She sends a thankful glance, but your attention is solely on the group of Parasaurolophuses surrounding Bumpy, Ben, and Yasmina.

Bumpy’s squealing had drawn them in. Did they think you guys were hurting her? That would explain their rather abrupt attack on your group. Someone just needs to calm Bumpy down and the Parasaurolophuses should back off. Maybe.

“Calm–” you start, however the unexpected silence from the Parasaurolophuses stuns you into a silence of your own.

The flock of dinosaurs stand eerily still, all peering into the darkness of the tunnel further ahead. With a sudden cry from one of them, the group of dinosaurs dive into the water and swim opposite to where your guys were heading.

Without finishing your sentence, you stare at the retreating herd, to the darkness of the tunnel, and then towards the kayaks of your fellow campers.

However, they soon disappear from your sight as in a thick layer of darkness obscures your vision. The colorful light of the algae from before is nowhere to be seen.

“Uh, cool kids to nerds, where are you?” A voice calls, and you don’t need to see him to tell that it’s Kenji.

“Over here!” Darius answers, ignoring the name-calling. “I think something scared the Parasaurolophuses.”

Sammy cuts in with a call of you and Darius’s name, her voice wobbly. “If we stopped paddling, why are we still moving forward?”

The two of you gasp, snapping your heads to the water carrying your kayaks forward all on its own. You hadn’t noticed because of the lack of light, but a current had forced your kayaks forward.

This isn’t right. As far as you know, the Kayak River attraction isn’t supposed to have a current. The fences may be down, but how would that affect the water down here?

Your question is answered by two separate tunnels further down. One mimicking the artificial cave architecture the tunnels had until now, while the other is a simple circular passage.

“Paddle! There’s a current pulling us into a different tunnel!” Darius orders with a shout.

Everyone shoves their oars into the water to backtrack, but the pull of the tide is much stronger than your guy’s paddling. Inevitably, your kayaks drag you down into the tunnel, your surroundings turning pitch-black before you’re shrouded in the blinding light of the sun.

Wait, the sun?

With a hand hovering over your eyes, you check your surroundings. Though they aren’t too different from before. You all are still on your kayaks, floating on water, only now your group is in some sort of water stadium.

“We’re okay. We’re okay.” Ben sighs happily.

Sammy leaned backwards into the kayak, her back resting on your legs as she laughed.

You ignored her, your head swiveling around in all directions. This place was like a football field, both in size and in looks. Only instead of a field, it had an enormous pool. This must be an attraction of some sort that happened to be connected to the Kayak River.

Although, if that’s true, the only aquatic animal Jurassic World could recover is the Mosasaurus. And you really don’t want this to be the Mosasaurus attraction.

A gasp from Kenji is enough confirmation that your assumptions are true. You hate being right sometimes.

“Why did you gasp? That didn’t sound like a good gasp!” Ben whines.

“Cause I know exactly where we are, guys.” Kenji mutters. “We’re in the Jurassic World Lagoon. And so is the Mosasaurus.”

His words bring about a quiet panic, one that has everyone looking every which way.

“I assume the Mosasaurus is some kind of giant fish dinosaur that’s gonna try and eat us?” Ben assumes with a whimper.

“Not exactly a dinosaur, but yeah, pretty much.” You correct, eyes searching for some kind of escape from the lagoon. But your lack of glasses makes it impossible.

A low, raspy growl sounding not too far behind you gets a yelp out of Darius. Definitely your guy’s signal to get the hell out of here.

Harder said than done, especially when the Mosasaurus circles your group. Its body is just barely hidden under the blue water, almost as if it wants to be seen. And maybe it does.

“It’s circling, testing us. It’s acting like a shark.” Brooklynn says in a low tone. “We’re intruders in its domain, so it’s investigating us. Before it gets confident, decides to… to…”

A snarl interrupts her whispering, and Bumpy squeals at the noise.

“This is bad,” Brooklynn finishes.

“We have to get out now!” Kenji whines, holding his oar to his chest in fear.

“There’s a ladder by the spectator stands.” Darius points, and though it’s only a blur of colors to you, your eyes follow his hand, regardless.

Kenji winces at the distance. “How are we gonna–”

“Y’all?” Sammy draws your attention to the water.

Just like Brooklynn said, the Mosasaurus is getting more confident, now swimming directly beneath your kayaks.

“Paddle! Go, go, go!” Darius commands.

“This is not how Kenji wanted to go out!” Kenji yells, his sunglasses close to falling off.

“This isn’t on my to-do list either!” Yasmina hisses.

So far you’ve all made it more or less half-way across the water with no disruptions from the Mosasaurus, but you’re sure that’ll change soon.

“Keep paddling!”

“Almost there!”

Bumpy squeals, fearful from the constant splashing and movement of the kayaks.

Another growl from the deep blue pushes you to paddle faster despite your sore arms.

The CKK, as Kenji had previously called it, arrives at the spectator stands before anyone else. And you wonder if your kayak will make it at all. With three people, your kayak’s been falling behind the other two. Even Bumpy’s kayak had gotten in front of you guys.

The three of you pant from exhaustion, shrieking at every wave made by the Mosasaurus. Because if anyone was going to get eaten, it would be the ones falling behind the rest. And admittedly, your kayak was doing exactly that.

You don’t draw your attention away from the spectator stand. You may not see it too well, but you trust Sammy and Darius to guide the kayak in the right direction.

“Don’t look back! Just keep paddling!” Darius calls out to Sammy and you.

“I’m trying!” Sammy says as she forces her head away from the splashing behind your kayak. “What’s Yaz doin’?”

Her words cause you to divert your attention to your side. There stands Yasmina in all her glory atop a small foot area at the bottom of a large metal pillar.

The pillar in question is used to keep the meat conveyor upright so that it’d stay out of reach from the Mosasaurus. It’s not how it would’ve fed in the wild, but they’ve got to put on the show for the guests, don’t they? Taking your attention off the money hungry tactics of Jurassic World, you wonder why in the world Yasmina’s standing there.

You get an answer when she bangs on the pillar, shouting at the top of her lungs. You couldn’t see it, but judging by her laughter, you guess it worked. Either that, or she was just insane. Considering her antics, you wouldn’t be too surprised.

“She’s distracting it, buying us time. Keep going!” Darius ordered, more towards Sammy than you, whose gaze had wandered yet again.

With a thud, your kayak meets the spectator stand roughly. Sammy crawls out first, lending a hand to you when you crawl out after. She instantly turns her attention towards Yasmina while you help Darius out of the kayak on your own.

“We’ve gotta do something!” Sammy cries, watching as the Mosasaurus swims towards Yasmina. She tears off her life vest, face wrinkled in fear as she hurries up the ladder leading to the stadium above. Darius and you follow in her footsteps, although a lot less hysteric.

A mechanical stir followed by Kenji’s shouting leads you to believe that Yasmina might actually have a chance at surviving this. Or at least you hope so. She’s one of the few people you enjoy here.

Joining the rest of the group at the stadium, you watch as a thick wire rope cable emerges from the water, a hook at the end. Tossing her oar into the depths below, Yasmina jumps onto it, grasping the cable with all four limbs.

“Go, go, go!”

“Yasmina!”

Once the cable is pulled as high as it can go, it moves in your guy’s direction. Yasmina leans back with her legs out, and then forward with her legs in. Over and over she does this, most likely to build momentum. With the Mosasaurus circling her below, and no set drop point, she’s going to jump.

“Come on, Yaz!”

“Oh, no…”

“She’s not gonna make it.”

As those words leave Kenji’s mouth, the Mosasaurus breaks the surface of the water, flinging itself upwards to snap its jaws at Yasmina. In an incredible show of luck, the Mosasaurus latches onto the horizontal wire holding the line and hook. Its teeth cut the wire and Yasmina swings through the air. Can’t be too lucky, it seems.

With little to no time to prepare herself, she’s flung straight into the stadiums. She lands in a crouched position, her feet meeting the ground violently. Yasmina grunts at the impact and curls in on herself, clutching her left leg in pain.

“Yasmina!”

You all surround her, forming a circle of concern. Darius and Sammy help her sit up.

“I’m okay.” She assures you all, but a touch to her ankle forces a pained groan from her lips. “I think.”

“Uh, also, where’d everyone go?” Ben asks, looking side to side at the empty stadium surrounding your group.

“They must’ve evacuated the park.” You answer swiftly, gaze switching from Yasmina’s injured leg to the empty stadium seats.

With no further words, everyone explores the stadium for signs of… well, anything really. Yasmina sits grumpily at the very bottom of the stadium, forced to stay where she’s at because of her possibly broken leg.

Despite the pain, she continues pressing her hands against her ankle as if it would suddenly stop hurting. You watch Sammy approach her, but it doesn’t seem to go well, considering Yasmina stands up and limps away from her.

You sigh, heart still beating out of your chest from everything that’s happened so far. Bumpy bellows softly to your left, happily being used as a pillow by Ben. His eyes are shut, but you doubt he was actually sleeping. At least he feels safe enough to close his eyes at all. You wonder why that is.

You jump and look away when he shifts from his previous position. He looks towards you, who pointedly looks the other way until he speaks.

“I’m… glad you’re okay.” A confused stare from you brings him to continue hastily. “I–I mean you, Darius, and Sammy.”

His words bring a perplexed look to your face, but you let a chuckle leave your mouth all the same.

“Thanks. Uh, you too, I guess.” Your words are lackluster, but his face lights up despite it.

It goes quiet between the two of you, but not in an awkward way. Which is a first for you. Ben lies back down, head resting on Bumpy’s back once more. And this time, he might actually sleep.

The blaring sound of a siren makes that an impossible feat, however, the noise invading everyone’s ears out of the blue. The siren stays at a steady pace, blaring its loud horn before fading and doing it all again.

The deafening sound of it forces you all into a wide-eyed daze, looking around like deers to the headlights of a car. You don’t want to ask, but you truly wonder how much worse this experience can get.

Kenji's bleeding knuckles though

CW: Character Death, detail of a breakdown.

At first, it was a small crack for Darius. A small hole in the dam. A tiny scratch in a glass.

He got them off the island, despite all the hardships that got to them. The dinosaurs, Kash and Daniel.. Mitch and Tiff. They could finally get peace and quiet. He could get peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, things do not last. Six years of solace passed. Six years since Darius isolated himself from the rest. In a secluded cabin somewhere in the Californian woods.

Ben showed up at his door on a random Sunday night, harbouring a laptop and a messenger bag with way too many documents and theories. Too many notes. This guy's overworked himself. Was the first thing that crossed Darius' mind.

“I've been looking on Dark Jurassic..” Ben murmured to Darius and he looked up from the laptop, eyed flitting over Darius' face.

He was thinking of something. Hesitant to tell Darius something. Ben bit his lip. He closed the laptop gently, setting it off to the side.

“Darius.” Ben said, his voice cracked and he was playing with his zipper.

“Ben? Are you okay?” He raised a brow, reaching his hands out to steady on Ben's shoulders.

“Uhm, Brooklynn.. she –” He swallowed nervously.

“She's dead, Darius. She was killed.”

Another crack.

“What?” Darius asked breathly, “No– I called her.. two days ago I–” His hands drew back to his own body, his fingers curling a tad, his other hand gripped his tooth necklace – the necklace that held memories. And nightmares. – tightly.

“She.. um.. she – I don't know.. she's dead. Darius. She was killed. Targeted.”

“No.. –” His hands started trembling. He promised he'd meet up with her – he didn't. He passed out on his sofa crying.

“I was supposed to..” He rasped, tears welled up in his eyes. His breath hitched, and he started hyperventilating.

“Darius..”

And then the dam broke. It took one small tap for the glass to shatter into a million little pieces.

He gripped his hair, fingers digging into his head. He lurched forward, and wailed.

He wanted to throw up.

The tears fell, he struggled to breathe properly. It felt like his throat closed, like he was being choked.

He couldn't stand, and toppled over. Ben caught him.

“Darius.” He tightly held him, “Darius please–”

His cries wracked the whole cabin, filling the silence he'd lived with for six years.

This was his fault. If he was there – he could've helped her, done anything. She deserved to live. He should've been the one who would lie there, torn up into pieces by teeth and claws. It should've been him.

Sharp fangs should've sunk into him, torn him to shreds. It's what he deserved. All the lives he couldn't help. All the lives he let the dinosaurs take. And now Brooklynns.

He sobbed. For what felt like the whole night.

Ben held him through it.

The Agency P2

Media - The Queens Gambit Character - Benny Watts Couple - Benny X Reader Reader - Y/n Rating - Sweet AF Word Count - 1428

I took my suitcases in hand and approached the stoop of the Brooklynn townhouse, Benny shut the door of the beetle and came up behind me, 

"Down here." he said as he headed down the stairwell to a lower apartment, 

"oh..." I was taken back but I followed a little sheepish, 

I walked down after him being careful on the dark stairs, before he headed down a second set so I continued to follow even if the place seemed dirty and smelt like odd socks. He unlocked a tall metal door and headed inside so I quickly went inside. 

"... oh." simply fell from my mouth as I saw the place, 

It was a basement, the door behind me,  a wall to my left with a few backlight switches and a hook where he hung up his jacket and hat, a railing to my right, a shelf of books just down the stairs, A door beside the shelf open that lead to a water closet, the apartment had maybe three lights hung overhead, one over the small kitchen that had perhaps four cabinets and an old battered fridge, a small lamp over the stovetop, one over the table where a vase with some white roses sat, and one above a small living space with no sofa just a pile of pillows on the floor, an old ratted rug, a small foldable coffee table covered in magazines, another two bookshelves filled with books, a round leather ottoman and a matching leather chair, a lamp beside it as well as a lighter stand beside a well-used record player. The furthest wall had a small desk with a stool by a wall of clippings and pictures, the back wall was just plane brick with a few trophies on a ledge, I was shocked to see the shower and bath sitting in the corner beside the fridge with a sink and mirror between the shower and the chair, An interior window and frosted glass door lead to the bedroom where the bed was made up.

I slowly walked down and did my best not to react as my face would give me away, Benny headed through fixing his hair and tidying the coffee table a little pushing the magazines into a pile.

My eyes for a moment caught the glimmer of the knife still on his belt, and one single thought ran through my mind.

'Oh god... He's gonna kill me. He has a knife. this is the basement of a serial killer. I am gonna be freaking skinned and made into soup!' 

"It's not much but... it's home," He said, 

"Mhm," I nodded, 

"What do you think?" he asked, 

I thought for a moment before squeezing on the handle of my suitcase and forcing out some words, "It... is... cosy."

he chuckled, "Yeah, that's uhhh one way to put it," he nodded, "Here let me," He took the cases from my hands and tossed them on the bed, "Did you fancy a coffee?"

"Ohh uhh yes please," I nodded,

"Alright, take a seat and make yourself cosy," he smiled indicating to the rest of the apartment, 

I nodded so he headed to the kitchen, I gulped but slowly headed deeper into the apartment, I smoothed my dress under me as I took a seat on the leather chair, having to put my feet to the side as the chair was so low. I looked around a little and caught my eyes on the box of records beside the player, so I flicked through them a little seeing the sort of music he had. "You mind I put some music on?"

"Oh no go ahead, you take cream or sugar in your coffee?" 

"Both, in decent helpings please."

"Hu, I'm a black coffee myself." he said, "I should have creamer in here..." he opened his fridge and I saw it was pretty empty with only some milk, some creamer, some cheese and a very battered pad of butter. "Ahh I do, and it... is in date that's surprising," 

I did chuckled a little until I found an album I liked so I took it from the dust cover and the cardboard sleeve sat it on the player and dropped the needle down to soon enough hear Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks playing from it,

"Ooohh good choice," he chuckled as he brought me over my coffee in a paper takeaway cup,

"Thank you," I nodded taking a tender sip, 

"You're welcome," He smiled sitting his on the table, he brought the Otterman over and took a seat on it.

For a while we each just sat sipping our coffee, luckily the music filled the quiet air. Until he broke it,

"So?"

"So..."

"I suppose we both have... a lot of questions," 

"I'm sure we do," I nodded, "One each?"

"One each," he nodded, "So, why did you sign up for the agency?"

"Loaded the first question," I blushed a little, "Uhh well... I uhh I had been unsuccessful for many, many years and frankly, I just got tired of trial and error, just sort of wanted to have an understanding of intentions." I explained, "Plus my parents... not so subtly pushed me," 

He chuckled, "Yeah, I get that. kinda the same reason I did. No dating, not messing around just straight to the point," He nodded, "You're turn,"

"Uhh well... why is there a window into your bedroom?"

He laughed, "I don't actually know, I promise I'm not a weirdo." He says, 

"You do seem relatively... normal,"

"Normal? My god I'm hurt." he joked, 

"Sorry," I laughed,

"It's alright, I'm sure normal is a compliment to most people,"

"I meant it as one," I nodded, "You're turn,"

"Ughh well... this is my kinda, first run with the agency, have you been with them long?"

"A couple of years, a couple of false starts but uhh..." I coughed as I didn't want to finish the sentence,

"I won't ask," he nodded, "That's your business,"

"Why do you carry the knife?"

"Ohh... this is for protection," he rested his hand on his hip, 

"From?"

"From whatever. Better to be safe than sorry." He smiled, "What do you do?"

"Ohh professional homemaker as of the moment,"

"makes sense," he nodded, "your turn,"

"what do you do?"

"Ohh," He smiled and picked up a magazine from the table and handed it over to me it was a magazine called 'Chess Review' and his photo was on the cover, "I play chess, professionally. Currently, US champion aiming for grandmaster and world champion down the road, Also wrote a chess book so that helps with the finances."

"They mentioned you were big into chess," I chuckled setting the magazine down, 

"Yeah, I figured they would," he chuckled, 

"I tried to dress accordingly," I looked down at myself,

"Well you look very beautiful," He smiled as he moved a little closer and rested his hand on my own, I blushed as our eyes met, "Sorry I-" he went to move back but I took his hand again and he smiled, 

"You're turn," I smiled,

"I know is early, we uhh haven't really known each other that long and this is a pretty BIG decision but can I ask... if you like me? At least the initial introduction of me?" 

I blushed but he was right we hadn't known each other very long, but we only had a week to make up our minds if we wanted to call this all off or if we wanted to go through with it so really we both knew our intentions, and we knew the clock was ticking on this decision, "I admit, I do like you benny, you seem very nice, and handsome and I'd really like to spend more time with you,"

He smiled, "Yeah I feel the same way too, I think this could maybe work out between us?"

"I think its possible,"

"Well... I'm happy to take a gamble Y/n," He chuckled, "Oh- shit-" He got up ran a hand through his hair, "I completely forgot," He muttered as he went to the table, he picked up the small vase with the white roses and brought it over, "I uhh I got these for you," 

"Awww thank you," I smiled happily taking the vase and giving the roses a smell, they smell so sweet and fresh, "You didn't have to do that Benny,"

"Well I wanted to get you something, and I thought it might make the place seem a bit more... cosy for you for this week," 

"Well thank you very much Benny that's very kind of you," I smiled giving his cheek a kiss, 

"You're welcome Y/n," he blushed a little, "I did book us somewhere tonight... for dinner? if you wanted too?"

"I'd like that,"
