Lotus Blossom she/her Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Quote SORRY i can't really be active i'm in a car for a 7 hour drive and i'm not allowed to have my phone rn but whatever Junior smiles bitterly. All I need is my mind, my strength, and half a chance. The Hunger Games gave him more than anything else could've. He didn't struggle when they took hold of him. Why would he? He watched Len's death first hand. He knew what would happen to him. What happened to his mother. He knew. Of course. Two ships. They gave me a risk. They gave me a chance. Junior bent over slowly, pressing his hand against the ice. It froze against his touch. Frost creeped onto the tips of his ivory mechanic fingers. I need to leave. I need to survive. I need to kill. I need to try. The ice here was no different from the winters in Dictrict 4. The frozen lakes over the fish. It was thick enough where he stood. Junior held his ear near the ice sheets. He heard the rush of the water. The ice grew thinner to the left. But it was thick enough to hold the two ships. Junior nodded and stood back up slowly. He calculated his safest route to the ship. From him to the nearest poco was still a long way. There was an element of risk. Element of unknown. The ice could break midway. Thats why I'm here. He began to run. He was safe until about a mile in. So he raced. It was almost as exhilarating as flying through the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just-A-Stick she/her Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Whiplash stopped in her tracks. A cracking sound came from ahead of her and she could see that the ice was unsteady. She skirted in a wide loop, still moving slowly and carefully, around Jock and Nova. she stopped at the far side and turned around Should I help them? She looked on in surprise as Junior rushed past her and toward the ships at the far side. She shrugged Not the way I would have done it... Whiplash couldn't decide if she should help Jock and Nova or not. Edited November 22, 2023 by Just-A-Stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She slowly brought her legs above the surface of the quicksand, and used very small movements to push her body slowly back to "shore." She begins to scoot herself over the quicksand successfully. 12 minutes ago, Argenti said: She turns around, realizing since she was in the dead center, the rest of the cornucopia must have come with her; she finds.... The cornucopia is magically gone, it’s just thick fog now. A whisper echoes: “Tick tock…” 11 minutes ago, SymphonianBookworm said: She does what she has been taught when dealing with quicksand—she leans back and slowly unsticks both of her feet from the ground. She unsticks her feet, now able to scoot. 7 minutes ago, TheRavenHasLanded said: lollies looks around, then moves. slowly. carefully, checking for traps or murderous things. They venture into the rainforest and push past vines. From above them 4 minutes ago, Just-A-Stick said: Whiplash walks slowly out on the ice, placing each step carefully and listening before putting her full weight on it. She tries her best to catch up with the others. I need a partner! As her confidence grows, she moves a little quicker, but is still behind Jock. The ice cracks more, getting louder.

They do not appear to be double seated. It is not possible to get to the other fragments at this time, and you’ll have to survive the conditions of your fragment as is. Good luck!

Junior struggled his way up and cursed under his breath. "Crack your own ice, you monster," he muttered, "I'm not going down with you." Junior lifted his foot and came down hard, stomping on both Jock's hand and the ice with incredible force. The already splitting ice all of a sudden started cracking more, at a rapid pace. Jock's hand was in terrible shape... bleeding and bruised at the least. As soon as Junior stomped on the ice, he jumped away as far as possible, landing on ice that was quickly splitting from the effect of the initial crack. He ran, half skipping half sprinting, trying to race the natural cracks as he raced towards the ship, ice cracking beneath him as he prayed not to slip and fall.

Feral calls sound through the forest, the roar of tigers and growling of bears intermingled in the forest. The ugly rasp of hissing and buzzing followed. And something else...something unidentifiable that sent cold and quiet rushing through the forest, making it silent again. @TheRavenHasLanded @Aeoryi @DefiantAllomancer Quote I will be your GM for the forest section!
