[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.
OOC NOTES.

no subject
It felt odd being able to transform and wrapped around him instead of speaking to him face-to-face. She could still 'see' him and was physically touching him, but it wasn't normal. It was kind of like she was hugging him.
When he headed out, she bit her lip in the empty space she occupied, eyes blinking as she glanced around. It was much worse outside of the protection of the wall. Howling wind, blinding snow walls, and this was just near the base. She didn't want to imagine what it was like closer to the emitter.
"I'll try holding this form as long as I can. Be careful."
no subject
If she needed to transform back out here then it might not be much different than if they were separate and running along together. Somehow though...somehow he knew they had to stay like this. Whatever she was able to do, it was the only thing they could count on. It was strange having her this close. It was strange being this close to anybody. That image he had before that he could not identify was there.
He kept that arm close to his body as he hurried along. It was not like she would simply blow away in the wind. Despite that, there was a fear he had that they would be separated out here. The further away they got from the tents, the more he felt as if they were about to run into something horrible. In places, he was sure he could see blood. A second later it would be gone.
A twig snapped and he came to a stop. What was he going to do if they were attacked? He arm slowly went down to his side and his fist clenched.
"Rosalia...be ready."
no subject
Her vision was blocked when he brought his arm close. She turned, but didn't say a word. Did she not tie on tight enough? Maybe he saw something. But then this wasn't a good idea!
She glanced back quickly at the snap, eyes widening. Was it a Kishin??
"I'm ready...!" At least, she hoped she was.
no subject
He thought he heard something else. How was he supposed to fight with a ribbon? Why did he not go out of his way to go to morning training? He knew the answer to this, but that did not change the fact that they were here now. He heard a sound again. Was it a twig he heard the first time?
"It's coming."
It did not sound anything like a team of people either or somebody that was wounded. As something rushed towards them, something he knew to not be friendly, he held out the hand with the ribbon wrapped around it. He had no idea what to picture....or maybe he did. The most dangerous thing he could think of from his own world: A virus attacking the body. Was that enough to produce a result?
no subject
When he thrust her forward, she watched as the thing came out of the snow. It connected directly with her. It felt like some of her energy slipped away, bursting upon the assailant's body as a bruise. Ah? Was that her doing?
no subject
Something about that was important. His mind was clouded, but it was like he was supposed to know exactly what this was. The same feeling washed over him before during one of his surgeries when they just-....the thing shrieked and came at them. Somehow he managed to dodge to the side.
"Are you...okay? Do you think you can do this again or should we run?"
no subject
"... I'm alright. I thi-... I can do that again."
But they should run. She didn't want to think what would keep happening if she continued brushing against it.
no subject
Another bruise. He saw it appear. He also saw something else or rather felt it. The image he saw before when he touched other people. He knew...how much Rosalia had actually damaged it. He could not risk doing that again, not when he was certain she would not hold out.
So he started to run in the other direction back towards the tents, hoping that those bruises would slow it down. Who knows where they would end up running towards the battle?
no subject
The ribbon tightened slightly around CR's arm as she bit her lip.
"Why did that have to be my ability?"
no subject
He was having a difficult enough time attempting to run and consider what to say to her about all of this. Luckily that thing behind them was not gaining as far as he could tell. Maybe that was just false hope.
As he skidded along the ground and slowed, he was able to speak.
"What is that bruise?"
no subject
They weren't moving. She hadn't realized that immediately until he started talking. Her eyes rose, but then fell.
"... It's a poison. No... that's not right." She shook her head, curling up a bit. "It's a virus. The virus I was born with."
no subject
He could understand that. There was still something he could say about that though that might give her the only comfort he knew how to give. He was facing back towards where that creature that attacked them had been. Was it dying back there then of the virus?
"...If you did not have that ability though, we would not have gotten through that.."
no subject
Raising a hand, she rubbed her eye. No, she wasn't going to get upset over this. "Dr. Stein said it shouldn't infect any of the Guests, but what if it does?"
She didn't know if this ability could spread from those infected. It would cause another outbreak.
no subject
There was always the possibility of contamination. That was the worst thing about an infection or a virus. That being said though, would this BREW really bring somebody here if they could infect others?
"...If it infected anybody, I would stop it. If it will put your mind at ease, I can run tests for you on my own to be certain."
no subject
"I know you would. That's why you're a really great doctor."
She nearly nodded again, but he couldn't see it. "I would feel better if you did. I don't think Dr. Stein understands how bad it can be."
no subject
He was curious about something he had apparently tried to stop before. It was the way she spoke that got to him though. Maybe that was why she never sounded like she wanted to talk about it.
There was a need there to reassure her. That was what he learned needed to be done when somebody he intended on helping was upset.
"Maybe...it was meant to save lives here instead of taking them."
no subject
She didn't want to talk about it or let it escape again. Rosalia remembered the consequences, but her brother didn't. She'd rather him avoid seeing what would happen.
"But how?"
no subject
He was not sure if that was what she wanted to here, but it was the truth. They might not be made to fight anybody. They possibly saved some lives just by taking on that one creature even if they never meant to.
There was always a problem with a potential virus getting out. He began to walk again back towards the medic tents.
"You saved a life."
no subject
That... that was true. She had protected him by infecting the creature that had attacked them. And if it had been a Kishin egg, it would've eaten her brother's soul. He had the chance of saving so many lives here while the egg would've done the opposite.
Well, then she guessed she could feel better.
"Right."
no subject
Meisters really did have to depend on Weapons to fight in a battle if they did not have an offensive skill. If she did not enjoy doing what she did then he would not ask it of her.
"Just a little bit further then it should be safe for you to change back."
no subject
The ribbon shifted again as Rosalia nodded.
"Okay."
Apologies for lateness on this
He felt a great deal better about allowing her to change back. They were still lucky that she was able to hold her transformation for all of that, but they had really not been gone that long at all.
"...I really am sorry that I dragged us both out there. I will attend to these patients once more..."
It's all good
"It's not your fault. I wanted to go too." She nodded. "Right, we should get back to work... Do you think they realized we left?"
no subject
He was concerned about the look on her face. It obviously still disturbed her about what she did put there. It was, admittedly, surprising and he did experience sadness on her behalf for having to be given an ability that reminded her of death. There was not much to be said for it without sounding like a broken record. Perhaps reassurances were still in order though.
"...I appreciate that you were willing to come along. Though we did not come across a patient, we did...accomplish something."
Though if they were attacked....
"...I will not regret having worked with you."
no subject
That made sense. There were plenty of tents to disappear into and patients who needed attention. Her mind was still out in the field almost, but it was coming back. She had to focus on working here now.
"Huh?" She blinked, but then smiled. "You're welcome. But, I couldn't let you go alone. Thank you for taking me... I have a few things to think about."
