TEAM SNOW WHITE LOG

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...

You'd be surprised how well water can keep things from rotting.

[Not the point. Freya sighs, leaning back on her heels. She squints into the darkness for a few moments, then nods her head.] Hey, would you go check over there with that light of yours? Looks like the water might've run down there, once.

[The glow of the crystals was more than enough to work by for this much, so she starts unrolling and unzipping the soggy sleeping bags. She might be able to dry them.]

Who knows? If we get lucky, maybe the source is still intact.

[notyourutopian]

I don't think I want to dwell on that.

[Water was supposed to be a good thing. Still, she nodded, following along the trail of the water with her light until she started panning around up above where it seemed like it was dribbling a bit. Higher up still, more rocks, and then...]

I think there's something up there?

[She gestured with her flashlight towards what looked like wood jutting out from between some of the rocks.]

[belligerentwarrior]

[Freya glances up towards Eleanor's light from where she'd been wringing out the bags.]

...What kind of something? More tools? A crevice? [It's hard to see what it was exactly from where Freya was.] Something along the lines of, "yaaay, we're saved?"

[Complete with adopted sarcastic little tone. Nothing was ever that easy.]

[notyourutopian]

Less 'yay', more...boards?

[She was tempted to try and pull them down...]

I could maybe get them down but I can't promise that won't cause...uh...massive cave in?

[belligerentwarrior]

Boards?

[Freya frowns in thought as she wills warmth to course through her limbs. She could warm the air enough to help dry out the equipment, but it'd take a little bit to get going.]

If it was gonna cause a cave-in, you'd think the weight of the rock would break it in the first place. [Then again, physics wasn't exactly something she was well-versed in. She'd trust Eleanor's opinion over hers.] What about that power of yours? Can you get distance with that?

[notyourutopian]

You'd be surprised how strong something like that can be...

[Eleanor continued playing the light across the closed up space, her lips pursed, expression thoughtful.]

...I can try. But I really don't know what will happen when I pull them out. Even if we're standing further back. Want me to?

[belligerentwarrior]

...I'm gonna leave that up to you. You seem to know more about it than me.

[Freya stands, picking up the metal rod again, and treads over to stand by Eleanor. She's managed a (not very strong) barrier before; it'd be better than nothing.]

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor nodded, handing the woman her flashlight to hold before turning her attention back to the boarded up spot. She raised her hand and tentatively probed at it some, feeling at the edges with her telekinesis, giving it small, experimental tugs that didn't result in much. It was sure boarded up well, at least, which made her wonder why...]

[Still, if there was cleaner water back there, they had to try, right? So she clenched her fingers, as if mentally gripping the boards, and pulled.]

[At first, nothing happened, then there was a long, low, slowly-increasing creek as the wood strained under her power. And Eleanor strained right back. Thirty seconds later, the boards had bulged out an inch or so, and Eleanor stopped, arms dropping to her sides as she panted to catch her breath.]

Hang...on. A second.

[belligerentwarrior]

[Freya watches patiently, and warily.]

Take as long as you need. If you start to think it's safe enough, I can help pry them out.

[notyourutopian]

[She drew in a couple deep breaths and straightened up again, shaking her head.]

I can get them. Better off we're both back here. I mean, if there's more of that gross water behind there...

[They didn't need to get soaked in itchy poison water, right?]

[She rolled her shoulders and reached out with her hand again, eyes narrowed, and gripped the boards with her powers...and then yanked as hard as she could. Building off the progess she'd made earlier, the top board snapped in half, and a moment later the one beneath it came apart in splinters, the bits tumbling to the ground and revealing...not really anything much behind them? Certainly no torrent of water.]

...Huh.

[belligerentwarrior]

...Huh. [She answers at the same time, propping a hand on her hip and leaning forward a bit. She's silent for a moment.] I'm kinda disappointed.

[No gushing water, no cave-in... so Freya advances forward to get a better look at what the boards were blocking off.]

[notyourutopian]

Yeah. Pretty anti-climactic.

[Eleanor agreed as she followed after the taller woman, leaning up on her toes as they got closer.]

...Is there something stuck up there?

[belligerentwarrior]

...Looks like. Hang on.

[Freya fishes around with the pole, and it takes a couple minutes before she can dislodge and drag out the objects.]

[A pair of dirty snorkels and scuba masks.]

[Freya eyes them suspiciously, at a loss for words. How did any of this make sense?]

[notyourutopian]

Is that a scuba mask?

[Eleanor just looked at it, then at the hole, then back at the mask.]

...Okay now I'm just hoping whomever was wearing that wasn't drowned behind those boards or something.

[belligerentwarrior]

[Freya's mouth quirks to the side thoughtfully.]

Didn't feel any bones rattlin' around back there. Looked a bit small for a person, too.

...No point in not tossing 'em in with the other gear, yeah? I can wrap it all up in the tarp, once those sleeping bags dry out.

[notyourutopian]

Couldn't hurt. [Eleanor hesitated though.]

No one should put them on until we find some cleaner water to rinse them in though. Don't need a face as itchy as your fingers.

[belligerentwarrior]

Right. That'd be a nightmare.

[Assuming whatever was in the water wouldn't blind them, either. Freya scrubs her fingers on her pants again; just being reminded of them made them itch again.] Let's get that stuff dried out. The sooner we get on the move, the better.
