DUNGEON - BELLMARE MOUNTAINS, PT 1

Expedition day dawns with the androids in a final flurry of activity - this time, it's in the glider hangar, where they're furiously setting up racks of heavy coats, piles of warm socks, and snow boots, as much as they could manage to pull together. If you've already got your own, great! Otherwise, you can grab some here, though it will be in the usual amount of mismatched Keystone chic.

There's also a variety of emergency flares and the like. Strange is there to admonish everyone to take at least one - unlike Earth flares, they're magical and silent, and will recharge over time - just in case.

Because you're going up into the mountains, and even more so than the usual abandoned places that you explore, it's going to be dangerous just by the nature of the place, nevermind what you might find up there. Incendia was the biggest market for the Bellmare mountain resort, after all, and you're all quite familiar by now with how long that's been abandoned. More to the point, it's far easier to lose track of each other in the snowy slopes. Keep your phones handy and look out for each other, as well as anyone else you might find up there.

Indeed, in addition to the clothes offered for you now, Strange will push extra warm clothes on anyone with hammerspace, and Down, surprisingly enough, has emerged from their usual place with a good number of extra communication devices to hand out. You should still have signal in the mountains, even in a blizzard, but it's better to be prepared for things to screw up.

Once you're all bundled and ready to go, it's off with a wave, into the land of ice and snow.

[OOC: There is an exploration header for each area of the dungeon! Please limit yourselves to 3-5 characters per thread, and don't double dip in order to allow everyone the chance to explore! Otherwise, feel free to top-level as normal.]

[He chuckles a bit.]

"Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you like that. Enje doesn't travel too far from your house most of the time, does she?"

[He's trying not to let it show, but he's already thinking of the worst case scenario... Hopefully his traveling buddy doesn't mind the quick sidequest.]

[He makes an amused sound, before tilting his head to one side thoughtfully. He's already accepted that the sidequest is happening whether he likes it or not, so his mind is going over ideas to try and find the little white fox in this weather.

Sync doesn't say anything just yet, letting the girl reply to Rantaro while he scans the horizon, trying to see if they're lucky enough to spot anything useful from here]

She just sorta goes wherever she feels like... especially if she's hungry. She'll go out and chow down on Beolrines if she thinks her dinner's not big enough.

[ For what it's worth, there are a few Largomares milling around, though none of them are wearing that bandana the girl talked about. Mostly, they just seem like they're coming to take a look at whatever the commotion is. ]

But we couldn't find her anywhere near home! So she's gotta be out here!
whatsmytalentagain: (And I'm not afraid)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-12-17 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rantaro nods as he look out into the crowd of Largomares... None of them being the one they're looking for.]

"Near the pathways, you mean?"
bellmarians: (bellmare0004)

[personal profile] bellmarians 2018-12-20 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She snorts derisively. ]

Oh, no way. If she was after Beolrines, she could be anywhere. Like, she'll still be on Bellmare, but that's pretty much it. There's so many Beolrine nests around here, though, so I figured if she'd be anywhere...
whatsmytalentagain: (I just don't wanna miss you tonight)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-12-20 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, right... He nods.]

"She'd be near the Beolrines?"

[He's thinking of something, but he isn't sure if she'd like the idea. They just met, after all...]
bellmarians: (bellmare0002)

[personal profile] bellmarians 2018-12-20 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, like I said. She basically just went out to get her munch on. So I've been keeping an eye out for Beolrine nests.

But those things are hard to find!
whatsmytalentagain: (They can't break me)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-12-20 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...
"I'll tell ya what. We're already exploring the pathways, so what if we tag along with you and help search for those Beolrine nests...? And hopefully find your Largomare? I know this probably sounds weird, but it's always better to travel in a group, right?"

[He's glancing at Sync, hoping the other traveler doesn't mind.]
fifthreplacement: (Watching)

[personal profile] fifthreplacement 2018-12-21 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Sync has stayed quiet until now, given that he's not as good at this whole social thing as most people. Hearing Rantaro's idea, he tilts his head in thought]

It'll be safer that way if nothing else, especially if the weather gets worse.
bellmarians: (bellmare0006)

[personal profile] bellmarians 2018-12-23 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I... guess?

[ She seems nonplussed, but not against the idea. But then she gives them a smile. ]

I mean, I do seriously appreciate it! It's just kinda funny to hear anyone thinking Bellmare could be, uh... not safe.
whatsmytalentagain: ('Cause I don't think that)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-12-24 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Rantaro chuckles at that reaction. Yeah, he does look a little sheepish here.]

"I think my friend means we might get frostbite if we're not careful. It's pretty cold up here, ya know."
bellmarians: (bellmare0003)

[personal profile] bellmarians 2018-12-26 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, really? Oh, guess it must be if you're not from around here. It gets way worse than this once January comes around.

[ She gives them a cheeky grin. ]

Who are you guys, anyway? If we're gonna stick together, might as well swap names. I'm Magde.
whatsmytalentagain: (And I don't want to go home right now)

[personal profile] whatsmytalentagain 2018-12-26 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well... He's nodding, so that makes sense.

(When is January, anyway?)]


"Nice to meet you, Magde. Name's Rantaro."
fifthreplacement: (Unimpressed)

[personal profile] fifthreplacement 2018-12-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He flat looks at Rantaro for a moment. No, it wasn't actually what he meant] What I meant was that I'm used to another mountain that has weather that turns very quickly, sometimes without warning. Being caught out when it happens is usually deadly. But I guess this place is different.

[If there's one thing Sync does not like, it's people talking for him]

My name's Sync.
