[OPEN] Mission 156

Characters: Open to participants who signed up here.
Location: Lake Tahoe, CA
Rating: Various.
Time: March 27th, late morning.
Description: The second of the three Madness emitters outside Death City is the target for this mission. Bundle up, everyone -- it's gonna be a cold one.

The mission begins late in the morning, to allow the mission-goers as much sunlight as possible in the warmest part of the day. Not that it'll help much… Temperatures are well below freezing already -- unnatural even for early Spring in the mountains -- and a howling snowstorm threatens to blot out the sun, beginning up the mountain where the slope just begins to rise sharply.

The slopes themselves are fairly barren: a windswept-looking tree here, a cabin that may have once belonged to the snow patrol there, maybe a Madness-crazed bear or mountain lion. Those braving the storm are lucky enough to see five feet in front of their face in these conditions!

Those brave few who manage to make it to the top (enduring falling temperatures and defeating the corrupted fauna and hulking kishin yeti along the way) may come across their goal at the very summit of the half-mile-high mountain: the Madness emitter itself, in the eye of the storm… And one last obstacle: the Witch guarding it.

[Chika Daimon and Aqua] The Slopes | Closed

*Okay, it was freezing.

Chika couldn't help but shiver, even underneath all her layers upon layers of clothing that she was wearing. It was just that cold out. She was... really going to have to be a bit more choosy about which missions she went on in the future. Though, considering how important this one was, there wasn't any real chance of her staying behind, even if she really didn't like the cold that much.*


Can we have a nice warm tropical mission next time?

*She sighed, before turning to look over at Aqua. They hadn't come across anything dangerous yet, but it was only a matter of time.*

Hey, you holding up okay?
blue_wayfinder: (neutral || I will find you)

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2012-09-30 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She wasn't really used to this kind of weather. There were mountains in the Land of Departure, but none like this one, covered entirely in snow. She still had some warmer clothes left over from winter, but it really wasn't enough.

Inwardly, she agreed that a mission to a nicer climate would be nice, but that really wasn't important right now.

Instead, she nodded.]


Yeah. I'm fine. What about you?
scatterflower: (hey)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2012-09-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
*Chika smiled a bit.*

I'm doing alright. I'm just annoyed that it's so cold here.

*She sighed, and turned her attention back in front of her.*

I thought these clothes would be enough after Norway, but nope, I'm still cold. Though I guess it would be worse.
blue_wayfinder: (smile || ughhh...no more keywords)

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2012-10-02 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She tried not to think about the Norway mission too much for various reasons, but the cold was a safe topic at least.]

No matter how much we wear it never seems to be enough. [She commented with a rueful smile.] But at least we're not wet.
scatterflower: (smile)

*Chika laughed at that.*

Okay, you definitely have a good point there. It'd be a lot worse if we were.

*She looks around for a moment, before her smile turns to a frown.*

Hey Aqua? Doesn't it seem a bit too quiet here? I mean, there should be animals waiting to attack us, right?
blue_wayfinder: (neutral || thinking)

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2012-10-06 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowned as she looked around.]

...I would assume so. [The lack of monsters was almost as worrying. After all, they were still there. They just couldn't see them.]

Maybe I should transform so that we'll be ready if they show up.
scatterflower: (okay I really have no idea what you're t)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2012-10-06 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
*Chika nodded, holding out her hand to make it easier for Aqua to transform and for her to catch her.*

Yeah. Good idea.

*Except that it was right at that moment that Chika heard a growl, before something jumped out over at her.

She only barely managed to roll out of the way before a white blur shot out over her. And she been any slower... well, Chika didn't want to even think about it as she made it back up to her feet.*


Aqua! Hurry!
blue_wayfinder: (fight || if this is what I must do)

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2012-10-07 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[She didn't need to be told twice. Dodging their attacker had put her further from Chiak than she'd have liked, but it wasn't so far that she couldn't close the distance between them quickly. She was transforming as soon as she was within reach.]
scatterflower: (determined)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2012-10-07 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
*Good! Chika doesn't say anything as Aqua transforms, immediately grabbing the other girl in one hand and turning back around to where the white mountain lion... or what used to be a mountain lion anyway, was growling at her.*

So far it's just this one...

*Chika's not going to move until it moves to attack them. It was easier to move out of the way again and slash at it then try to hit it while charging, after all.*
blue_wayfinder: (srs face || determined 2.0)

[personal profile] blue_wayfinder 2012-10-09 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aqua did a quick sweep of their surrounding, just to confirm that there really weren't any more enemies lying in wait.]

Then we should take care of it before more show up.

[The creature growled at them, a clear sign of aggression. That along with the way it crouched low were the only warnings Chika had before it pounced, attempting to attack them with its claws.]
scatterflower: (annoyed)

[personal profile] scatterflower 2012-10-09 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
*Alright then, once the creature jumped towards her, Chika quickly rolled out of the way, before quickly making it to her feet again. Now she was facing the side of the creature, which mean that they should be able to get a hit in...

Chika charged forward, swinging down with Aqua at the creature's side. Hopefully the thing would be able to turn quickly to swipe at her again.*
