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...

Good question.

[ Surrounded by thorns and not a single useful branch in sight. Jack hadn't thought to bring a rope, either... His eyes scan the area, looking for something useful. ]

...Let me try something.

[ Excuse him while he draws his sword and leans over the bushes to see if he can reach. Almost... there... ]

[ keigo really didn't think about something like this being an obstacle, but it was too late to worry about the hindsight of the situation. he took a precautionary step backwards as jack decided to try and use his sword to remedy the situation, but... ]

...Couldn't you cut through them? Is it sharp enough?

[ Well that sure is an idea, but Jack looks uncertain. ]

These things aren't made for hacking down bushes, are they? Maybe if we had an axe...

[ It doesn't seem right somehow?? But he can't argue with Keigo's logic. At the very least, he should be able to cut through just enough of the thorn bushes to catch that tiara on the blade...

So once he's sure Keigo is out of cutting range, he goes for it. It takes a bit of work, and it's not very efficient - at least not how Jack does it? It's not a machete, for crying out loud - but, well. It does get him close enough to grab it, he supposes, so it's time to try again. He takes a deep breath to steel himself, leans over, and...

Success! ]

I've got it!

[ Except that he's kind of wobbling there?! Please save him so he doesn't lose his balance and fall in the thorns! ]

[ keigo couldn't help but feel a little useless through this whole ordeal; he hadn't really brought anything with him and he certainly wasn't athletic... all he could really do was watch jack go to work on those branches. if only he had his camera on him... this really would have made a great project...

but, jack succeeds! the tiara was in grasp! but... ]

Uwah! You're gonna fall!!

[ without much thought, keigo lunged forward and grabbed jack around the waist, pulling backwards, back towards the tower. he didn't have any gauze on him, so he wouldn't be a very good medic right then! ]

[ He nearly drops the crown in surprise when Keigo catches him. After a bit of fumbling, Jack is relieved to see it slide down the blade and gently fall against the hilt as if that was where it's belonged all this time. Jack blinks at it, and once he's sure it's steady, he lets the other guy pull him back. ]

Thanks, buddy. I'd be picking thorns out of me for days if you hadn't caught me.

[ With the immediate crisis out of the way, he pulls the tiara off of the sword to give a good, hard look. It's about what you'd expect from something like this - fancy, lots of gems, intricate patterns of gold... Fit for a princess, he'd say, glancing back up at the tower. Wonder what happened to her.

Welp, no use dwelling on the past, is there? Whoever this thing belonged to, she's long gone now, and they need to get back to the rest of them. ]

Guess we'd better get going, huh?

[ keigo could feel the sense of relief wash over him once jack was steady. he'd let him down carefully, the adrenaline that shot through his system making him a little shaky. well, that was enough excitement for the day... ]

It's no problem... I'm just glad you're okay.

[ he rubbed at his neck, slightly bashful for his impulsive concern, but the important part was that they had the tiara! ]

Yeah, I'd say we're all done here, don't you?
