[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.

Just. Don't die on the way down, all right?

[ 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. ]

[ with a tired smile, Matt squeezes Sollux's hand ] M'not going to die again. [ aha, he said "again". Matt usually pretends he doesn't think about his death. ]

[ he laughs a little, if hollowly, ducking his head as they go. he doesn't seem likely to let go anytime soon. ] Good. 'S good.

[ with that, Matt falls silent as they walk down the mountain. He is still holding the troll's hand, while blood still drips down the other arm (if he hadn't done the bandage, it would be a lot worse and Matt would probably be severely anemic).

But honestly, the silence is much better than start screaming at each other again.

And he is planning on staying like this until they reach a safer area.]

[ Sollux is perfectly fine with companionable silence. it keeps him from trying to find things to say and in the right tone of voice, too. not that he isn't worried, but the point here is keeping it under wraps.

they're utterly terrible with social situations, they are. ]
