[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.

Having the Madness physically rammed out of him made Waka gasp. The Calming Wavelength washed over him, clearing out the darkness and turmoil in one dizzying swoop. He hit the snow, now devoid of any bodies or blood, and jumped on his feet almost instantly.

He wouldn't do her any favors trying to run through snow in geta and slowing them both down, and so he rushed to her side and touched her fur -- with a hand that was still shaking, he noticed with mild annoyance -- and transformed. Pillow Talk landed lightly on the wolf's back.

Let us make like a banana and split, baby!

Her calm gaze watched as the wolf jumped in to save the foolish Weapon, but the Witch did nothing more than remain where she was as the stampeding herd barrelled their way. She could feel the Madness beginning to edge away with the arrival of the white beast, and knew then that this one was a Meister with the Calming Wavelength.

It would have been so easy to wipe them both off the face of this mountain, and the Witch considered doing such a thing until she sensed something far more interesting approaching the summit. Ignoring the pair, and the rampaging beasts, she drew her attention away from her playthings and over to where she felt the large power approaching.

So... he had stepped out of the city for this, hmm? The pair behind her were no threat, and she didn't hide that fact as the Witch seemed to simply disappear within the snowstorm as if she'd never been there... well if it wasn't for the fact that the large yaks were still trampling the area in their attempt to catch the pair beneath their heavy hoofs.

Like I'm about to stand around!

She was already off when Waka landed on her back, paws pounding and carrying them away. With the yaks behind them, they couldn't immediately head down to base. Were they normal yaks or conjured? Were yaks even supposed to be here? They didn't smell right...

Either way, she swerved as they reached a safer range from the Witch and the emitter. They had to lose the herd one way or another.
