TEAM TARZAN LOG

TEAM TARZAN
READY: START

Team Tarzan roster: Anastasia, Ikuo Ryuuzaki, Jack Kelly, Kasen Ibaraki, Keigo Asano, Kurogane, Kurt Wagner, Silver, Yamatonokami Yasusada, Yaeger, Yosuke Hanamura, Yugi Mutou.



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 the monkeys howling...

[ these colloquialisms are lost on keigo, but it was no matter!! onward!!

...until...

what was that noise... ]


...y...yeah.

[ perhaps stupidly, keigo stopped and turned around, shining the torch down the way they'd come from. it was... really dark, now, and for as long and twisting as the route was, it was almost like they're entered some other dimension...

but enough dramatics. maybe. something was coming. something large. ]


...M...maybe we should uh. Pick up the pace?

[ aka: run like hell? ]
digthefuzz: (watch | yeesh)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-16 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[There's no doubt that it sounds like something coming to kill them. So Kurt nods his head quickly and mechanically.]

Yeah!! Pick up that pace... big time, man!

[With that, he starts to move into a run! And he'll try to keep pace with Keigo.]
loudmouths: (🌟 how do we blame THIS on SUVs?)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-16 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ something big... something hungry...

...okay no. it was a boulder.

a huge-ass rock, in keigo's mind, as it seemed that as soon as the two of them started to run, it decided to make its appearance far behind them... but that distance would be shortened eventually. ]


....IYAAA!! I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU!! RUN, RUN, RUN!!
digthefuzz: (watch | shocking!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-16 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
OH I'M RUNNING!! I'M RUNNING!

[He catches a quick glimpse of it and keeps on running! He dashes over towards one door, opens it and tries to run right through it!]
loudmouths: (🌟 OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-16 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ if there was anything keigo was good at, it was running. but in the process, he dropped the torch!! looked like they were going to have to run for their lives in minimal lighting. ]

Shit, shit, shit!!

[ keigo panted, quickly darting after kurt once he found that glorious, beautiful, magnificent door.

...it was just a normal door, but keigo could have kissed it for how relieved he was to see it. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | where's the beef)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[RIP torch, the first casualty of the mission

It's a door alright! And as Kurt runs through it... they end up in a corridor that's either the same or very similar. It's harder to tell with all of the darkness.]


What?!

[There's not much time to think, because the boulder suddenly barrels through another door! Quickly, Kurt looks around and points - in the dark, he can kinda make out what looks like another door?]

Over there! [He runs towards it like his life depends on it, because it does!]
loudmouths: (🌟 OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-17 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ they'll hold a service for it later... if they get out of this alive.

which keigo was beginning to doubt, what with how twisted the entire ruins seemed to be. ]


Ah, okay, okay!!

[ off he went?! would this door lead to safety or yet another roundabout path? either way, keigo slammed into the door with the force of... however much he weighed. and!! ]

UWAHH!! It's all the same!!!

[ but they didn't have time!! onward?! ]
digthefuzz: (watch | distress)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
It- it just looks the same!

[Probably! He thinks. And so through the next door! And... into another similar-seeming room?! And the boulder once more barrels into the hallway.]

...We don't have time for this!

[Instead of going for another door, Kurt opts to sprint down the corridor as fast as he can.]
loudmouths: (🌟 go! run! you're free!)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-17 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ this was truly making keigo feel like he was going crazy. how could everything look the same like this?! ]

O-okay!

[ either way, he sped down the hall alongside kurt, throwing a look over his shoulder to see how much closer to death they were. ]

THIS IS NOT HOW I IMAGINED DYING!!

[ .........that's nice and optimistic. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | yeesh)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I hoped that when the end came, I could at least see what I was doing!

[It does look like there's something up ahead though. They're getting oh so closer! It looks like... there's an altar of some sort up ahead?

Except that as he rushes towards it, eventually his foot steps into air, as opposed to solid ground. He's about to fall!

But, he reaches up for Keigo in that moment, ready to quickly teleport them onto the platform with a 'bamf!' and a puff of smoke.]


Whoa!
loudmouths: (🌟 you fucked it up)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-17 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ an altar!! the end is near!! a good end, hopefully...

but before keigo could even realize he was on the fast track to plummeting to his death, he felt kurt grab him and then...

...they were safely across?? what just happened?? ]


.....Eh...?? EH???? What-What just happened?!

[ cue keigo looking around frantically, trying to make sense of the last... five seconds. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous laughter)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurt breathes a sigh of relief and then releases Keigo before opting to look at him meekly.]

Right... Did I forget to mention I can teleport? [He says jokingly. He's been trying to keep it on the down low when he can, but there's no avoiding it in a crisis.]
loudmouths: (🌟 oh man what could happen next?)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-17 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...

well, that was a thing. keigo stared at kurt rather blankly for another five seconds before sighing deeply, as if he lacked the energy to react more appropriately. ]


...Yeah, you did. Normally, I'd be yellin' about somethin' like that, but given the crap we've seen... [ he could give a little leeway. ]

Anyway, I'll yell about it later. For now, let's just see what we're workin'β€”

[ oh right. the boulder. it was late to the party, its descent rumbling throughout the room until it just... dropped into the hole. nice. ]

...I'm so glad that wasn't us.
digthefuzz: (watch | friendly neighborhood acrobat)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry man. [He says with a light chuckle, and then he looks back just in time to see the boulder take its fall.

He whistles and nods along.]


Yeah! Now that definitely wouldn't rock!

[With that settled, he'll soon turn his attention to checking out dat altar. It looks like there's something there...]
loudmouths: (🌟 i spy with my little eye)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-17 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ terrible puns aside, keigo turned and started in towards the altar. Kurt was right, there was something there... ]

It... looks like...

[ as keigo approached, it became clear: a small jeweled piece! looked very expensive. ]

I guess this is it. Uh. Hopefully touching this isn't gonna kill us.

[ so he did just that: touched it... then picked it up. so far... nothing? ]
digthefuzz: (watch | fuck yeah!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-17 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's gotta be it!

[Although soon enough, the torches in the chamber light up, and some paintings of an Egyptian god become visible.

Kurt takes a moment to glance around.]


Whoa... swanky. Yeah man, I think we did it! We are the champions!
loudmouths: (🌟 live free or die soft)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2017-08-18 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ woah, that was fancy... keigo was rather startled by the sudden lighting, but not enough to not pick up the piece from the altar. ]

Well, we're good then, yeah? Just... gotta find our way back...

[ he paused, pocketing the piece, and then turned to face kurt more directly. ]

I should say uh... thanks. For savin' my ass back there. Pretty sure I would be a pancake if it wasn't for you.
digthefuzz: (watch | guten tag)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2017-08-18 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurt nods as he looks back the way they came, and then he chuckles a bit at Keigo's follow-up.]

Hey man, no problem! I'm glad when I can get a chance to help people. And I don't think we would have made this far without your help, either! So thanks for the help.
