[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.

[ Sollux is angry. he's pissed. he's positively furious and could very well chew nails if they were available. it's like the mountain's trying to get to him, wiggling its way into his pan the way Matt's nicotine addiction was, and it only makes him angrier.
hearing Matt's receding footsteps is only additional oil on the fire. ]
Like I even need you! Fuck.
no subject
Matt looks up and staring down at him, at the top of the cabin's roof, a cougar (that seems to be the size of a goddamn tiger) seems to have found its dinner. ]
Sol- [ he has time to snap out of it, but not to finish. The animal suddenly jumps on him, throwing Matt to the ground, which causes he to let out a scream. ]
no subject
That's definitely not what he was expecting. Was he shrieking in stupid gamer triumph? Did he burn his eyebrows off with his cigarette?
Maybe it was because of that very ominous, very dangerous-sounding growl there. Huh. ]
Matt!
no subject
Mostly, he is just shocked. He hears Sollux's voice, but everything feels surreal right now.
Until there is pain. Suddenly the animal bites his left shoulder, teeth sinking into Matt's skin with no mercy and the claws manage to slash the left arm. The redhead wakes up from his own shock with a cry of pain, mixed with a loud "Fuck!!" and finds his right hand trying to push the animal off him, but in vain. ]
no subject
Matt? Fuck!
[ Maybe it's for the best all around that Sollux ends up tripping and sprawling into the snow. It keeps him nicely out of the way of the rampaging lion. ]
no subject
Move, he wants to move, but how?! And that's when he remembered the gun he was given before going up the mountain. At first, it's hard to find it; the snow , the animal on top of him, panic and pain don't work well, but soon he feels the metallic object.
And when he does, it's a matter of seconds to grab it and point it at the cougar's head, shooting four bullets in a row which is more than enough to kill it. There is no longer growling and Matt no longer screams, but as he gets off the animal, he hisses in pain, hand quickly reaching for his hurt arm.
There is blood, a lot of it.]
Shit, shit, shit! [if it hit an artery, he is fucked. So what Matt does is to open his jacket and try to see just how much blood there is to be exact. As he does so, he turns his head towards Sollux.]
Sollux! I'm fine, I'm alive! [the troll will have to move closer to him by following Matt's voice] It's just a scratch!
no subject
That is utter fucking hoofbeastshit! [ he'd be embarrassed by how his voice just cracked on that if he wasn't so busy being worried. ]
It didn't sound like "just a scratch". Matt? Shit.
[ Though, once he reaches Matt, he doesn't do much more than hover over him uncertainly. He can't see what's happened, and he can't gauge the extent of any injuries because of it, and even if he could see, what could he really do about it? He knows shit-all about first-aid. ]
no subject
[ yes, joking. Less stressful and the best way to regain your cool. Mind you, Matt no longer needs a cigarette. But it's a fact; there is a lot of blood and blood draws other animals.
The redhead observes the wounds; fuck, it's a goddamn mess. But the blood isn't coming out like a spurt, so no major artery was hit. All he needs to do is compression, maybe it will stop; and for that, Matt reaches for the hem of his shirt and tears a piece of it.] I need your help, okay?
no subject
Yeah? Yeah, sure. I- er. What? I mean, how?
[ he's stuttering and faltering right now, and later on, he might even be embarrassed by it. right now, though, it's all about Matt and the apparent dead thing nearby.
grand. ]
no subject
[ Sollux being blind thing. Yeah, Matt needs to explain what is going on. ] It's a bandage. I want to compress the wound on my arm, so blood will stop flooding out. I can't do it with one hand, I need you to do this for me.
no subject
Mothergrubfucker, okay, okay! I-- just tie it, right?
[ he really, really doesn't want to do this, but there Sollux is anyway, doing his best to oblige Matt's request without being very stupidly and violently ill. ]
Like this?
no subject
Once he is done, he reaches for some snow, pressing it against his arm to numb the pain.]
......I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. [ to get angry like that; that wasn't like him at all. And he seriously didn't want to say those things to Sollux. ]
no subject
he hates this mountain. ]
Sorry. [ maybe, maybe if he hadn't dropped Matt like that, or kept a lid on his temper, this wouldn't have happened. maybe. probably. definitely. ]
no subject
I guess we are even. [Matt finally grabs back the clothes he took; it was getting cold, even if adrenaline was pumping through all of his body right now.
After, he grabs snow yet again but this time he plays with it a bit before giving it to Sollux; wash the blood on your hands, Matt doesn't want people asking why your hands are covered in blood, Sol. ]
no subject
Matt-- Matt, we need to get you to a... the infirmary, or someplace. We gotta go back.

[ okay. if force and shaming isn't going to work, there's only one choice left. he's going to have to break out the big guns.
with some effort, Sollux reaches out to lay hands on what he hopes is Matt's less wounded shoulder, schooling his expression into one of very worried, very uncharacteristic pleading. ]
C'mon, man. I don't want it getting worse on the way. We have to go back.
[ this next bit almost hurts to utter, but it's a necessary evil. he quietly congratulates himself on not gagging on the phrase. ]
Please.
no subject
He isn't sure if he cares, if he pretends to care, if he subconsciously forces himself to care, or if he cares because Mello, Near and L do. But he does.
So that expression does work.
Damn you.
The boy groans but sighs after, giving in. ] Fine. Let's go back.
no subject
All right. C'mon. Do I have to carry you? I mean, it'd be a good idea if you went all Weapon.
[ he's just got to keep up the adolescent woofbeast act up a little while longer, that's all. ]
no subject
no subject
no subject
... yeah. [ adrenaline is wearing off and now Matt starts to feel the pain in his arm, a bit tired and worn out. Okay, so maybe Sollux was right about going back. ]
Thanks.
no subject
[ you know, once or twice is more than enough, thanks.
maybe if things were a little less stressful, he'd be more worried about how tightly he's holding onto Matt. welp. ]
