Nevada waited, tapping on the keys as he sent each orange dot off the radar. Her comments were mostly of the encouraging kind, keep at it Cupcake, do your best Cupcake. Almost got'em Taym until the last dot disappeared and all that was left was his blue signature.
The Argus hovered close to him for a moment before flying up and slowly moving around again.Quote: If you are talking about entertainment Cupcake, this is some of the best I've had since we lost Excalibur as our power source. However I am sorry that I got Argus stuck, It's control system is a little different. Quote: Let's stick to the path a little longer since I don't know what it is I am looking for yet. Nothing on the computer but you and your weapon.... So you see anything? Quote: 11-20 - Your partner hears something click underfoot, and has the good sense to START RUNNING. A small, experimental runic mine detonates close behind them. -25% HP

Quote: Not a damn thing. I thought you were supposed to be good at this, Prince Charming. Taym was put into Death for a reason. As soon as he put his foot down and heard the barely-perceptible noise of some trigger functioning, he was spryly darting away. It wasn't just his slink that was catlike. Properly motivated, Taym could be pretty speedy. Not speedy enough to fully avoid the explosion, though. Quote: Son of a b***h! Can I ask who thought it was a good idea to rig the course with explosives? Why does everything around here bite or explode? HP: 5 :T

She made a small sound of approval. Prince Charming hmm?Quote: I've upgraded you from Cupcake to Princess. Maybe you'll even make it to your royal Majesty Taym. For now my little pretty.... Quote: It's actually my first time doing this. I much prefer the dull boring drudges of Paperwork. That doesn't bite...or explode.... Usually. Quote: Well, speaking of being good. It looks like I found something with Argus. How are you at playing Tarzan Princess? Added to that, How are you feeling? Do you still want to continue?
Capsule: 1/5Quote: 21-30 - Success! Your partner finds a fear capsule hidden in the branches of a tree.

Quote: They told me to keep going until I collapsed, so I'll keep going until I collapse. A pause. Quote: Really? You couldn't find something on ground-level? But Fiona winked out as he emptied his hands and swung himself up gracelessly onto the lowest foothold. This, at least, he could do (he'd filled entire days with a sort of aimless urban exploration), and after a few minutes he made a triumphant noise in his throat, followed on the mic by a grunt and a thump as he hit the ground. He turned the thing over in his hands before stuffing it into a pocket. Quote: You ever heard the word "Pyrrhic?"

Nevada frowned dropping down the argus to sit right in front of his vision. Kind as if she was there but not really. It was eye level. And it was kind of staring at him...as much as a small flying machine disk could.Quote: Princess, I would really hate to come and actually carry you out. I can tell it would do wonders for my ego and zero for yours so....If you get worried, let me know... Quote: I didn't choose the height, The argus did. Quote: It's a word I am not familiar with no. Tell me about it Princess? Quote: 11-20 - Your partner hears something click underfoot, and has the good sense to START RUNNING. A small, experimental runic mine detonates close behind them. -25% HP

Quote: A Pyrrhic victory is one you paid too much for. Like when you win a fight but make an a** of yourself in the process, or worse. I just felt like it was relevant to the situation. He prowled tentatively after the Argus, but didn't make it very far. And he stumbled back, but it wasn't enough. When was it ever, with Taym? Lights out. HP: -5 sad

Nevada froze at the desk as the radar for the Argus lost the signal for Taym, the blue signature of his weapon fading.
"s**t, s**t. I was joking Taym." Nevada scrambled out of the chair, throwing the headset off and heading out of the labs. It took her awhile to search through the jungle, seeing that vegetation really did cover the area before she found his still body.
And wasted no time getting down and feeling him all over. But it totally wasn't like that.
"No broken bones, Jesus. Still breathing. Good." She looked over at the exploded runic bomb, shaking her head. "Trying to kill us out here aren't they?" Well the good news was, his form was much lighter compared to most guys and she managed at 5'6 to be able to pick him up and wrap his arm around her neck, then her arm around his waist. One good eye, dragging a half dead guy out.
Yeah this would do wonders for the ego's.
Also she would let everyone know that she did in fact carry him out princess style and let him live that down for a bit.
"So much for a Pyrrhic victory, Think we failed this one Handsome."
Eventually she got him to the infirmary too.
