TEAM SNOW WHITE

READY: START

Team Snow White roster: Davey Jacobs, Eleanor Lamb, Fang, Kasen Kanesada, Malik Ishtar, Mari Ohara, Riku, Ritsu Kageyama, Ryoji Mochizuki, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Yuri Plisetsky.

The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city.

However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of many bat wings...

[ Another day, another... whatever this is. Davey's kind've getting used to the LARP his life has become. The fetch quest portion clear enough and searching the area the shacks are in should lead to clues. ...Or, at least in theory it does.

It still doesn't make him any less apprehensive to open up random doors without an invite. Hardwired manners are hard to put aside even in situations like this. ] Pardon the intrusion......

[ Please don't jump at him for opening the door ]

[Dante hasn't really taken the time to think about how much of an RPG their lives have turned into--honestly, after killing the yeti he's almost been trying not to think too hard about what happened in the mines. It's not the sheer inanity of going toe-to-toe with a yeti, though that was certainly unbelievable enough. It's how cleanly his blade had sliced through the monster's skull, how quickly the life had faded from it. How easy it is to kill, in a way completely different from his memories somehow.

That all being said, he can't exactly refuse to solve the next puzzle in front of them, nor would he want to! In spite of it dogging him, Dante knows how to compartmentalize. As soon as their boats had shown something worth exploring, he'd jumped out of his, kicking off of the side so he could zip over the water to the small shack. But as it turns out, he's not the only one with that idea...]

"Pardon the intrusion?" You really think there's any chance of running into someone alive in here?

[ Davey blinks, momentarily startled by both Dante and then the question. Where did he-?

He only looks around them as a response, an eyebrow quirked the slightest. They are in a swamp that expected them, complete with welcome notices. He’s seen this storyline far too many times to not expect someone showing up eventually. ] After last week, I’d rather be overtly cautious than barging in anywhere headfirst.

[ The idea of not being eaten upon entry is a strong one. Maybe he’s just running on horror movie logic but hey, it’s been working for him so far. He’d rather be silly than be That Person. ] And if we’re very, very lucky, no one will answer.

[From behind the shack, of course; he had to make sure that there wasn't anything back there that was going to jump them, right?]

Well, if no one answers...

[Whoops, excuse him, Davey. Dante's just gonna go ahead and open that door! What's behind door number 5?]

[ Right. Of course. ]

After you, then.

[ Davey shakes only his head bemusedly at Dante taking lead. His team is far too much alike and it only reminds him of certain someones at every turn. Here's hoping he's not in trouble at the moment.

That thought tucked aside, Davey peeks in over Dante's shoulder only to make a slight noise of curious confusion. ] Toys…..?

[ Well that’s …. interesting. Please don’t be haunted- ]

[Dante is more than willing to push into the small shack, even though there's tension in his hand, ready to summon Soul Eater in a heartbeat if need be. But it seems as though there's no need for the wariness, as the room they're striding into makes Dante think of what a kid's treehouse might have been like if it had been abandoned for a hundred years.]

Huh. Kind of far away for a kid's clubhouse, isn't it...?

[But there's no denying that's what it is, not with all the toys around and the sleeping bags and the little toy boats on the floor...

And on the back wall there's a picture, tacked up against the wood. Dante's just gonna make his way over to that, taking a look at the children in the photo.]

Think this all belonged to them?

[ Davey takes a moment before entering, glancing down the river to the mansion, the other shacks and finally to the clubhouse they’ve stumbled upon. Hmm. ]

I suppose if the entire area had been full of people….

[ The toy boats get a dubious glance for now, but he skirts around it to poke around the rest of the shack. There’s nothing out of place outside nature reclaiming what was once theirs. Oddly enough, he’s not sure if he feels better about that or not.

That done, Davey hums a small sound before stepping over to join Dante ]

It’s more than likely.

[Dante reaches out, snagging the photo from the wall. He inspects the front of it a little closer, then flips it over to check out the back.]

Wells and Cynthia. 19... I can't really tell the rest of the date, though.

[He'll give it to Davey to take a look if he wants--the date is blurry, smudged. The children's names and the vague date is all they can really get from it right now.

Once they're done with the photo (Dante is absolutely tucking it into his pocket), he turns, taking back in the rest of the room.]

Any ideas where we should start?

[ Davey takes a gamble at squinting at the date but nope, he can't make heads or tails of the year either. ]

Whatever year it is, it's definitely been a while. [ Which makes sense given the toys scattered about. ]

And..... the most suspicious thing in the room is... well, that.

[ 'That' being the boats he's been avoiding until this moment. He can't help the slight grimace of following the suspicious toys but horror movie logic, remember? It's working so far ] I would think our clue is with them.

[Dante nods. It's entirely possible that the line of boats was left by a child, left out on an imagined adventure as he was called home, but given everything else they've faced so far... coincidences are probably pretty unlikely.]

Then maybe we should find out where they want to lead us.

[Outside to the bayou again, obviously, but... Dante scoops up a few of the toy boats, handing a couple to Davey if he'd like before gesturing toward the door.]

After you.

[ …. He was afraid that’d be the answer. WELP. Can't turn back now. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ ]

Here goes nothing.

[ One of the boats he takes gets set upon the edge of the bayou. Davey’s not expecting much but …. the boat is moving. On its own. Without help or anything. That sure is a thing. ]

…….. I guess we go that way.

[Obviously it was going to be the answer! When you're trapped in a horror movie, the only way out is to play along, right? Or something like that.

At any rate, the boats glide away from the shore, heading out toward the center of the bayou. For a moment, Dante actually has no response--he wasn't actually expecting that to work!]

Ye... yeah. I guess so. C'mon, let's grab one of the boats and follow them.

[ At some point all this weird shit is just gonna be Too Weird To Handle. But maybe it already is and Davey's just checked out completely. Because of course the toy boats are just innocently sitting at the center of the lake. Why wouldn't they be?

But hey! Look who beat them to it and is now attempting to recreate Lizard Fighter 5 ]

Should we.... should we help....?

[What... the fuck... is Yuri doing.........

For the distance, it's surprisingly easy to make out the pale skin and blond hair of the other boy, who appears to be doing his best Crocodile Hunter impression and is. Wrestling with one?

Apparently things aren't going to plan out there.]

Yeah--we've gotta get closer! Let's go!

[Yeah, yeah. For as much as the two of them don't get along, like hell he's going to stand by and watch Yuri get chomped by a gator. Dante shoves his oar into the water, trying to paddle them quicker through the swamp.]

What've you got? Anything that'll work against this guy?

[ Of course, this is what happens after keeping an eye on Yuri for a week. Davey’s going to have to keep a permanent lookout for him over the course of this journey if this is the result.

His own hesitations aside, he’s still paddling his best to get there faster before Yuri really does end up swamp chow. ]

Just the pickaxe!

[ He hasn’t let it out of his sight since he picked it up t b h. ]

We might be able to distract it with one of the oars!? [ Longer reach etc, etc ]

Don't worry about that--I've got the distraction covered!

[It's not easy to stand in the small boat, and Dante doesn't trust his balance enough to stand fully, but he rises enough to get a better view of the situation, using the bench to steady himself. He's still not a great shot with it, but the power is easier to reach out to now: as Dante lifts his hands, drawing his right back toward his shoulder, moonlight seems to glow and solidify beneath his fingers, creating the shape of a bow and arrow that's drawn with his movements.

Dante frowns in intense concentration, sighting the alligator down the shaft of the arrow. The problem is, he's not sure where Yuri is as the boy's disappeared beneath the water again, and he's not confident enough in his shooting ability to be sure he'll hit the gator...]

Where's Yuri? I don't want to hit him!

[ What the fuc-

....Right. More important things to worry about at the moment. Unsubtle staring later.

Davey's eyes snap back to the water, watching out for any hint of Yuri. It’s not easy with the swamp being a swamp and even on a good day, the water is murky dark. But to their luck, it seems like Yuri has a plan. ]

There! It looks like he’s heading back to that boat! [ And points, making sure to keep holding their own steady. He can only sort’ve see the beacon of blond but with any luck, it should be enough ]

Got it!

[Davey's definitely right, because Eleanor is hurling rocks at the alligator through some sort of telekinesis???? okay, that's pretty sweet. And if she's not worried about hitting Yuri with the rocks, then he doesn't need to be worried either--Dante looses the arrow. It shoots straight into the water, not hitting the alligator, but it at least draws the beast's attention away from the others. And with the rocks still falling, it hasn't been able to focus in on the two of them, either...!

Dante doesn't let go of his bow just yet, though, staring out at the alligator just in case.]

Think they should be good? Or should we try tangling with that guy ourselves to keep it busy?

Should be. Doesn’t look like it’s attempting another round.

[ He says, not looking away from the scene. Yuri seems to be okay but Davey doesn't trust something else to not happen any more than Dante does. ]

And quite honestly, that really all depends on you.

[ He’s mostly teasing but out of the two of them, Dante is the one with nifty powers. Davey’s just got luck on his side. He's totally okay continuing on without his own go alligator wrangling. ]

[Dante snorts, shaking his head as he watches Yuri and Eleanor with the chest. Yeah, they should be good from here on out, right?]

I think I'll pass. I had enough fun with that abominable friend of ours last week; I don't need to fight an alligator here to prove anything.

How about we go meet up with the others and see if anyone else found anything useful?
