Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eternal Aue chooses to hop over the garden wall.

Summoning further creatures seemed perhaps a risky endeavor, but that wasn't his call to make. Faustite wanted his trash-eating squid, Faustite would get his trash-eating squid...and Aue would get to grit his teeth when the damn thing showed up.

"Better yet to be alone." The Finn meant, of course, to exclude the balance of the group rather than his crackling companion; a small number among the others he could be certain held some measure of efficiency to be appreciated on a mission, after all. Aue followed Faustite with an expression as sour as his sphere might suggest, weight causing a larger cloud of detritus to rise from his landing in the overgrown ******** squid ********> "There's enough s**t here for it to eat," Aue muttered, moving far to the general's right and scanning the space warily. "Torch it now, sift the wreckage, joo. I like this idea." Maybe some of the others would be caught in it too.

Strickenized

hi backfill :>

Eternal Amphitrite chooses to head inside and explore the house.

Adamantine vocalized Amphitrite's thoughts just as soon as they came to mind, and the eternal smiled at that - great minds, and to know they were in sync boded well for if they did come across anything dangerous in there. Like a well-oiled machine, they divided into groups, and Amphitrite nodded her assent to Ada's assurance. "Same to you."

Although she didn't verbally acknowledge the comment about Nissonite, she did kind of smirk about it, shooting him a brow-arched look and a gentle elbow to his side. "Keep in touch guys, all of you. Be safe."

Now that she was alone with Nissonite, it was easier to address his question. "The Rift is a dangerous place - especially for my kind, " and she didn't bother to sugar coat it. "In spite of our loyalty to the Negaverse, youma still aren't fans. So I can't speak to the experience of all officers, handsome, but, no. It's not really normal for someone like me to be out here."

General Stibnite chooses to stand guard outside. (8pts)

Leucite didn't even have to suggest it to Stibnite as she raised her hand over her head and summoned her crossbow. The very idea of crawling into the small window seemed more suitable for someone with a greater skill of hand to hand combat. Her own skill-set came with ranged items after all.

A house didn't do well for giving room to work. So as she watched one General she did not recognize (Jet) head into the window followed by Leucite, her own eyes turned towards Dravite. No words were spoken but she met his gaze before giving it a slight tilt of her head towards the house. He, like her husband, had skill in many different items. Frankly, in civilian forms, she had a feeling Dravite could have put Leucite on his a**.

She might have to invite him to the gym one day.

But that was another world. For now, she would use her trained eyes to help keep watch as others slipped in.

"Or saving." Stibnite offered back as the Corrupt made a comment about assistance. She smiled at the woman before giving her a nod. They may not have known each other before today but Stibs had given her word.

(Lt. Dravite) chooses to stand guard outside. (8 pts)

Dravite’s body became immediately tense the moment the sound of crystals shattering met his ear. Immediately his eyes darted around the group only to fall on the back of the General whose uniform was decorated with bright teal accents. Idiot he thought, eyes narrowing in irritation. Impulsive and tactless… but then Leucite followed suit.

He understood their objective but to make a bunch of sound and immediately crawl inside was not the way Dravite would have ever suggested it. Ideally, they should have been at a distance and had Stibnite shoot a crossbow bolt at a window then wait a few minutes and see if the sound garnered any reaction from any potential threat before trapping themselves in a building where, by the looks of it, the doors wouldn’t even open.

But here, in this environment, he had no say. However, when he saw Stibnite wordlessly give him her instructions to follow them inside, he shook his head ‘no’ in return; this was one order he would not obey. No doubt the General that had convinced him to join the Negavers had neglected to inform her of what happened in his most recent past, the reason he was stateside and the events that followed shortly thereafter. Not that she ever had any reason to ask, nor did he have any reason to share. But the idea of another building falling on top of him was not something he wished to entertain at this time.

All he could hope was that the two Generals that crawled through the windows had enough sense to guard them with their spears and pointed staffs in the event that this was in fact a trap. On his part, Dravite walked over to one of the windows and leaned over to sift through the broken shards until he found a sizeable one that could be used as a makeshift dagger.

A few seconds later he walked back over to Stibnite’s side “If you’re going to stay out here then we need to find you a better vantage point.” Not that she needed his advise but as a sniper himself, it made him more than qualified to give it to her just the same. “I’ll either watch your back or be your spotter.”

(Zinkenite) chooses to stand guard outside.

He frowned for a moment, not at anyone, but an introspective face, weighing his options.

“I’ll search the outside as well.” He said after a moment. “If anything happens then with luck I can provide support before anything goes wrong, and if anything happens out here I’ll be able to try and protect those whom are also searching.”

With luck he’d be able to respond quickly to anyone entering a house and finding trouble..

Corrupted Super Gadolinite chooses to crawl through the window and search inside. ( 8 pts )


He made a mental note - that was, in fact, already in place in his mind - not to get on Jet's bad side. All things considered, he thought he should keep the sniping with Seraphinite to a minimum, as tempting as it was, because Jet was already looking irritable and annoyed - or rather, frustrated, since it seemed as though this whole thing was not exactly the most well thought out of plans and Jet was, in fact, an organized and meticulous person most of the time.

There was the crash of broken glass, a shattering, and then both Jet and Seraphinite were crawling in through the window. Gadolinite observed them for a moment, then, with a shrug, reached up and hoisted himself through as well.

You jump, I jump Jack.

Dravite - will fill this in shortly. just wanted to grab it before the next prompt.

As the two groups gather back together in their respective blocks, an urgent summons from Haumea is issued through the communication tablets. He has heard the shriek and is concerned that an attack is imminent, all personnel should report back to Haumea and Alkaid at the starting location for Zone A immediately. The orders are loud and clear, but the mist is making it hard to see much more than a foot or two in front of them and it would be incredibly easy to get lost.

The group members must decide how they will judge their way. Should they try to find the road or follow the corrupt pair's combined energy signature?

[Choice 1]:
Your character decides that following the combined energy signature is too risky. Although it is big, the mist itself seems to have a chaos energy that muddles the field of auras. They think they can feel Haumea and Alkaid, but they can’t be sure, and they don’t want to get lost. Instead, they choose to follow the road back. It means they have to walk slowly, but that’s a risk they’ll take.

If your character decides to follow the road, please copy the text below and include it in your post:

[b](CHARACTER NAME)[/b] chooses to follow [color=purple][b]The Road[/b][/color] back to the origin point.

[Choice 2]:
Your character decides that following the road is too risky - it’s broken and scattered with very few pavers to even mark its path. In the mist, they could wander off in the completely wrong direction. Instead, your character decides to follow the combined energy signature back to where Haumea and Alkaid are waiting.

If your character decides to follow the combined energy signature, please copy the text below and include it in your post:
