DUNGEON - BELLMARE MOUNTAINS, PT 1

[phantasmods]

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.]

Well, not from scratch. This is all modified existing equipment. I didn't have the materials to do an entirely custom build. [He smiles nervously at Bear-san. No hard feelings?]

[He smells the tablet, makes a grumbling noise, and goes back to Mai, who is not a yelling-at-him risk.]

Useful. Especially where we live on what we can.

[splendidandhonest]

Invention is 50 % opportunity, I believe the saying goes. And re-purposing existing technology is one of my skills. [He looks at Bear-san and sighs. It seems he'll have to put more work into changing that kind of reaction.]

[nojohnyouare]

Like Bear-san's robot body was a vacuum before. [She pets the bear in question and digs out a handful of berries from her bag, which he headbutts her hand for and eats as soon as she sets them down.] It must have been useful at home, too.

[splendidandhonest]

It was... but I'm understandably turning my abilities towards more constructive purposes now.

...

[She looks up the mountain at the snow blowing.]

Are you used to cold weather.

[splendidandhonest]

I'm a robot. It doesn't really bother me. [A beat.] Given that, I'm not... really sure why I put on all this cold weather wear...

..........................................Safety.

[splendidandhonest]

... Sure. Let's go with that.
