STRANGER FROM THE RIFT: PART 1

▷ STRANGER FROM THE RIFT: PART 1
CONTENT WARNINGS: severe weather, possible frostbite/hypothermia

▶ 001. CAVEDIVING.

It’s been a cold and rough few days on various areas of Mt. Fuji as LILITH staff continue their attempts to rescue those who have been snowed in by a kaiju’s ice powers. After a valiant effort, all teams that have been snowed into their team’s respective cabins and those also stuck at the 5th Station will be rescued. However, the entire mountain continues to be covered in snow; various buildings and civilization continue to be hidden under snow, and Japan’s disaster relief team will be around to help anyone else not affiliated with LILITH. It’s the Outsiders’ job to find the kaiju before it causes more threats, after all.

Thanks to all of the clues that have been uncovered and the tracking efforts of the Outsiders, they will be able to narrow down a possible path to follow to lead to the kaiju responsible for all of the snow and ice. Chances are high that it will lead to a breakthrough regarding the strange anomalies around Mt. Fuji.

The journey is largely uneventful in the sense that they won't encounter any kaiju or dangerous wildlife. Though, it's still a battle against the elements. The Outsiders will have to push through heavy snow and ice and while cold winds bite at them. There is a high risk of hypothermia and everyone is encouraged to stick together and stay warm. Those with healing and support abilities will be encouraged to keep an eye on their fellow Outsiders; those with warming and fire abilities will find their powers are helpful in this regard.

On top of the weather, the rift effects also become much worse and stronger the further along they go. Reports suggest they are approaching a rift, and everyone is reminded that if they begin to experience severe rift poisoning effects, they have a limited supply of the newly created anti-rift medication they can use. This medication was created recently, and they have not yet made enough to meet the supply and demand, but it’s something! Outsiders may have to draw straws or something similar to obtain this medication fairly… unless someone is willing to share.

The stronger the rift effects get, the more Outsiders will start to see… shades. Shadows in the snow and ice. Is it someone from the past? Something from your future? A person, or a laugh, or a familiar sound. The closer to the top Outsiders get, the more the biting cold sinks into your bones, and Outsiders may find their fingers and toes coated with ice if they aren’t careful, and the colder they are, the more those apparitions will try to pull them out and redirect them back down. Almost as if…they aren’t supposed to be here, and something wants them to leave. The further they go, Outsiders will move more slowly, though if they group together, they speed up. Cooperation and collaboration will be the key to making it to the top.

Eventually, everyone will find something that isn't marked on any maps or reports. There is a large opening for a cave. It is dark and appears to go in deep, and the Rift effects are especially potent here. Those who have taken a dose of the anti-rift medication will find that it is enough for them to endure the worst of the effects. Those who have not taken it are urged to do so now.

The inside of the cave is cold and covered with ice, but the lack of wind provides some relief for the Outsiders. They will have to explore the new cave system, which comes with all of the dangers expected of cave diving. The ground is slippery with ice, there are sudden drops that lead to jagged rocks and ice shards, and icy stalactites randomly crash down and shatter. If you can ignore the dangers, though, the cave system is beautiful with multicolored ice as a result of the frozen rift-contaminated water. Maybe take a break and enjoy the view with a friend or someone special.

▶ 002. JOTNAR APPEARS.

Deep within the caves, the Jotnar lurks. As Outsiders explore deeper into the caves, they’ll find strange symbols scratched into the walls, slash marks and scorch marks from previous battles. This is not the first time that this kaiju has been discovered, but though there are old blood stains on the path deeper into the cave, the only bones found are those of prey animals… and humans. Then, you find it. In the back of this cave, its hands bloody from hunting, and the body of a Serow discarded to one side, drug down for later.

It’s large, and one might be tempted to ask how it even made it within the cave, but the ceilings are high enough that this large, yeti-like kaiju seems to fill the space, but barely. The advantage that the Outsiders have is that this space is still cramped for the creature. It can’t swing wildly, or move well. Fighting it in the cave seems to be the best option, but it is not without its dangers. Because the Jotnar is so close, it can easily reach out and grab outsiders, and fighting at a distance is difficult, as it can reach nearly the length of the cave area. If that wasn’t bad enough, every time it hits a wall or the floor, icy stalactites crash to the ground. Moving slowly, it can step on Outsiders as well, and when it breathes out, its breath is an icy wind that fills the cave with a chill that can slow outsiders down and stop them temporarily in their tracks.

In addition, if Outsiders do not move fast enough, the chill wind will sink into their bones, and while they take time to warm up, they may receive visions of other times or places in this world. Perhaps it’s a vision of a time in England, prior to the schism that left Eadmund and Gwen as enemies rather than friend; or perhaps a New Vegas when it was thriving and filled with gambling and showgirls; or even a Kyoto before the destruction that left it abandoned. Comment here for a rift-effect associated with the fight.

Warming up seems to be encouraged with physical contact from other Outsiders. Reach out to a friend or frenemy, and help get them back on track!

Eventually, enough attacks cut through the Jotnar’s tough, furry hide, and it begins to collapse to the ground with an angry, low bellow, before it finally, finally stops moving. This kaiju will be evaluated later, because something else has arrived!


▶ 003. LAND-HO!

When the battle is over, everything is silent in the cave system and there is a moment to catch their breath.

But it's just for a moment because suddenly the entire cave begins to shake and rattle. Stalactites crash down from the ceiling, and there's a strange sound coming from the darkness. Watch for falling ice and rocks! It could severely injure anyone beneath it. It sounds like something large and heavy is scraping against the ice and stone. Something is happening and the Outsiders are urged to investigate in case there's another threat.

They won't have to go far because from the shadows, a giant wooden ship emerges. The ship is severely damaged and falling apart but most importantly, they have to wonder... where did it come from? It's too large to have sailed into the cave system and the style looks like something from Europe instead of Japan. It looks old. Those with history knowledge will be encouraged to board the ship and examine anything in the ship for further investigating that could indicate the time and place of this ship. (Please see top level for history investigators.)

Below the main deck, there is an armory. Those with weapon handling and knowledge will be encouraged to board the ship and enter the armory. They will be free to take the weapons they find and keep what they discover as a token after turning in a report of their findings. (Please see top level for weapon handlers.)

From the ship's deck, something howls and leans over the rails. They scream in their direction and tumble overboard, crashing onto the icy stone floor. Those who run up to investigate will find…. a man...!?

The man appears entirely human, with a great, long beard and braids in his auburn hair. From the fall, he has a head injury and is entirely unconscious. Although it may be tempting to heal him, LILITH will encourage he not be tampered with, as he exerts a large amount of rift energy. Staff decked in proper safety attire will obtain him for examination to give him traditional medical care. Characters who have a moderate level of medical knowledge or experience may assist Dr. Spim on a medical aircraft that will return to base. (Please see top level for examiners.) Any findings will be encouraged to be shared with other Outsiders in whatever way possible.

For now, Outsiders will return to base safely until LILITH has confirmed further identity of this stranger from the rift.

▶ 004. INFORMATION LEAK.

Once LILITH returns and after one night of warm rest, something seems to be wrong with the power at LILITH headquarters. Small electrical issues occur. For the most part, they are minor things like flickering lights or the heat suddenly going off in the middle of the night. Sometimes the network lags and freezes, making it inconvenient to get work done or even do leisurely activities like watch videos or listen to music. At worst, one might find themselves locked outside of their rooms when the autolocks suddenly fail.

LILITH sends engineers to check out the systems and as far as they can tell, it looks like an issue with some of the breakers. They wonder if they were installed correctly when the base was remodeled last year or if the cold is affecting something. Despite the inconveniences, they are solvable and LILITH sends out messages to everyone to report any issues they encounter to the engineering department and, as a precaution, avoid using too many electrical devices at once.

It looks like someone was using the hairdryer while microwaving popcorn in the middle of the night, because everyone will wake up to find telltale signs of an overnight power outage. Clocks are stopped and blinking at random times, the heat is off, and while the lights and everything else are working, they are slow to start. Even worse, some people might find they are suddenly inundated with message alerts. Strange.

Somehow, everyone's personal information has been posted on the network. It appears to be random so some people have more information posted than others. Outsiders can find full government names, birth dates, contact information, medical records, shopping history, and most interestingly– at least three random facts. It's a serious security breach but if they look closely, they might realize that something seems off with some of the information. Is that really your name? You don't remember ever buying those things! And at least one of these facts is an outright lie.

While cyber security tries to find out what caused this breach, Outsiders will have to deal with the aftermath!

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Pick the textarea that is under your TEAM NAME and fill out the spaces.
2. You can decide how accurate the information is.
3. The ABOUT YOU section is essentially 2 Truths, 1 Lie so post 2 true facts and 1 lie!
You can use the code below, but please don't feel pressured to use it. You can be creative.

▶ 005. AFTERWORD.

Welcome to our mid-month event! Typically, we do team building exercises for this kind of event, but instead, this event is relevant to the overarching plot. We hope you enjoy it!

EVENT BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. CAVEDIVING: Treking to the top of the mountain, Outsiders are struggling with stronger rift effects, hallucinations, and trying to stay warm. Once near the top, they finally find a large cave, and Outsiders need to keep moving inside, to find the source of the rift corruption.
2. JOTNAR FIGHT: Are you trapped in the cave with the Jotnar, or is the Jotnar trapped in the cave with you? Outsiders need to fight to kill the Jotnar, but the fight comes with its own dangers.
3. LAND-HO!: Though the Jotnar is defeated, not all is over with, as a ship crashes through the rift before it closes, and it is an old thing... And also there's someone aboard?? Alive???
4. INFORMATION LEAK: When outsiders arrive back to LILITH base, they find that things aren't working like they should. Doors aren't closing, and private information is getting posted to the network, both truths and lies.

How is your character knowledgeable about this topic?: NOT MUCH AT ALL, Silco is going to sneak on and look to lift stuff from the ship that look valuable. He will be researching the items via implant to figure out how much it's worth. He'll be interested in anything that looks particularly interesting or valuable

Team: Everlight
How is your character knowledgeable about this topic?: He's obnoxiously well-read. (And also well-traveled.) One of my favorite characterization moments for him in canon is when he berates an anthropomorphized volcano for not being well-read enough to recognize and understand one of Zeno's paradoxes (Greek philosophical arguments with mathematical applications). Volcanoes these days, man. Not a college degree among the lot! He's probably read 2-3 deep dive books on Viking history and once visited a Viking museum while in a Nordic country.

Team: Redemption
How is your character knowledgeable about this topic?: His own readings into medical texts aside, he's deeply entangled with the scientists researching him and other test subjects, especially as they've gradually moved into human test subjects and host compatibility. It's a scientific inquiry inevitably intertwined with health and medicine. He's no expert, of course.

( Rainbow dragon is a white streak amongst several other white streaks, hurtling through the skyline as the man astride her back keeps his eyes peeled against the glare of snow. Surprisingly though, it is not for the kaiju itself. Instead when an Outsider appears to be struggling - say, they trip and sink down into the cold, white nothingness - he steers her close enough that great teeth can hook wherever she can reach and fetch the shivering soul out.

She is as gentle as she can be for a curse, which says something. So too does the tone of Geto's voice, not quite a bark, but aloof.
) Watch your step. We won't be coming back for your bones if you get lost.

( Someone probably would, but hey, this is his way of encouragement. )

Geto-sama.

( The way he flinches could be mistaken for the cold, really. Nothing shows on his expression beyond blank determination. Though he turns a little, pale face looking back down the mountain side. This has happened to him before. He knows that it is the rift. And yet -.

A footstep takes him away from the group. He waves off any question. He just needs to see, and then he'll come back. That's all. Neither of the girls are here, and the fear he hears in his daughter's voice is just a memory. A nightmare. They'd had those.
) Geto-sama, please.

( Another step, foot sinking into the snow half up to his calf. He has to check. )

( The kettle is not boiling. Geto watches it anyway in the hopes that it might. His arms are crossed over his chest, slippered foot tapping in staccato. He does look up when another Outsider enters, but he gives them a shrug either way. )

Best to stick to something stronger. It goes to figure we can't rely on our benefactors.

( LILITH, he's going to punch a wall and hope you feel it. Okay, not really. )

Do we know if it's just the base?

🍌 Weakness include: cats, sweet potatoes, vehicles, banana peels
🍶 Can drink you under the table and will accept any drinking contest challenges
👯‍♂️ Has traveled through time and other dimensions with himself


🞂002. CAVE DIVING.
[If you find yourself hypnotized by ghosts from your past, stumbling and sick from rift effects, and/or slowing down from the cold, suddenly there's a hand on you. It's a freezing cold hand reaching for any part of you that has skin exposed. A wrist, a neck, hell, even your face if necessary. There's the tingle of healing nanobots heading your way to atr least take the edge off whatever it is that's bothering you. The boy who's lending you this healing hand doesn't look too good himself, but he's clear headed. For now.]

Hold still. Just for a minute. Focus on me, okay?


🞂003. VISIONS.
[After awhile, the rift backlash starts to weigh Raidou down. He lurches to a stop, as if his joints were starting to freeze up. He holds his forehead in pain, and pulls down the gaiter that was covering his face so he could get in some ragged breaths. If you approach to help him, you might hear him muttering something only barely coherent.]

A-A dragon. It's a-another dragon--!


🞂004. BLACKOUT.
[Raidou has healing nanobots, so it could be worse, but it looks like all this stress, rift energy and time in the cold has left him ill. The nanobots have a hard time tackling rift poisoning, so it's slowing the process down. He'll have to put up the symptoms of a respiratory flu for a few days while in the meanwhile.

You might hear him coughing when you get to the kitchen, where he's wrapped in a blanket and waiting by the electric kettle to finish boiling his water for tea. He waves you away to keep your space, so you don't catch his germs, but that's when the power goes out.

Two years in the base now, and Raidou is used to this during the winter team. He sighs deeply.]

...Not this again.

( Hatsutori, for his part, seems strangely immune to the cold... but the wind does whip around his hair something fierce, making his hair even more of a mess than usual.

More importantly, wwhere the cold wind bites and the snow piles high, Hatsutori is able to provide both warmth and healing— dealer's choice of:

ia. Hatsutori erects an invisible barrier around himself and you that keeps out the wind, cold, and snow - an imperfect solution, and a little bit like trudging behind a huge shield or umbrella, so it does mean you're still chilled by the ambient air in exchange for not having to stick all that close to him;

ib. Hatsutori warms himself up like a miniature space heater, providing a great deal of heat to anyone in his immediate vicinity and melting the snow in the air and on the path for an easier trek. However, he does look a little feverish in so doing... he hasn't actually tried this before to know if it's a good idea;

ic. Hatsutori warms you or an item you have on you up (to a manageble temperature, no fevers for you!) so you have the equivalent of an electric blanket on you (or a warmed-up body temperature), but he'll need to redo the effect on you (or the item) every so often. )


How is that? Is that better?

( No matter what he does, there's something a little eerie about his powers... but it's probably just a chill from the wind.

Alternatively:

id. Hatsutori is made aware you're seeing the symptoms of hypothermia and / or seem rather chilly, and seems keen to heal it - he's probably gazing at you intently with a strange emptiness in his gaze, before he finally, airly addresses you: )


Would you like me to help you?
ii. shades from the past
( He knows that laugh.

Hatsutori stills in the snow, his eyes a wide and striking red. The ice encroaches, but he doesn't seem to care. He gazes into the snowfall, into the rocks and the woods, like an animal - as if trying to fix his gaze on whatever he heard, whatever shadows he'd sensed in the corner of his eye.

Around him, the air crackles with - electricity? Fire? Ash? (The scent of a forest fire, in this weather?) The longer he stays put, the worse the scent gets.

And if he's left to remain still long enough, the scent will turn into truth - trees and stone cracking and splitting suddenly, as if struck by aberrant lightning; the distant sight of a fire (soon smothered by the cold and snow, fortunately) - but one that may as well begin again as Hatsutori pays heed to the echoes of someone in his head made manifest into real and proper form and sound ... or so he believes, gazing into the dark. )
iii. information leak
( When the power flickers and/or cuts at whatever point, Hatsutori was about to fix himself some hot cocoa... But now he's there with milk and chocolate on the counter, staring at an electric stove.

Hm.

He looks to you. )


... How hot does chocolate need to be to melt?

( You would think if he has it so much he'd be sure, but someone's been making it for him for years now... And he doesn't want to go back to the powdered stuff. He's been spoiled. )

SILCO
50 / M / BRIMSTONE 004
HEIGHT: 5'6
DATE OF BIRTH: ERROR; CANNOT COMPUTE
AGE: APPX 50
MEDICAL FILE:
HISTORY: ON ARRIVAL SUBJECT APPEARED TO STRUGGLE WITH USE OF PREDOMINANT HAND
SUBJECT HAS SEVERE DETERIORATION OF SCAR TISSUE SURROUNDING LEFT EYE, MISSING SKIN AND EYELID
DETERIORATION OF LEFT EYE TREATED VIA INJECTION OF SUBSTANCE CALLED SHIMMER
SUBJECT DOES NOT APPEAR TO DISPLAY ADDICTIVE BEHAVIORS TOWARDS THE SUBSTANCE
SUBJECT HAS SEVERAL SCARS UPON LAST EXAMINATION INCLUDING ON NECK AND COLLARBONE
PREDOMINANT HAND WAS REPLACED AFTER ALTERCATION IN JUNE, MULTIPLE ADDITIONS INSTALLED INCLUDING: GUN, CIGAR-CUTTER AND LIGHTER, AND INJECTOR
MEDICAL STAFF HAS EXPRESSED SIGNIFICANT CONCERN REGARDING SUBJECT'S LUNG HEALTH, BUT WERE TOLD TO "MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS"
DISPLAYS STRESS LEVELS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY ELEVATED AT ALL TIMES. SCANS DISPLAY FEW DECREASES TO STRESS LEVELS. CONSIDERING PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR, IT HAS NOT BEEN SUGGESTED

CURRENT MEDICATION: SELF-MEDICATES USING FOREIGN SUBSTANCE VIA INJECTION TO SITE OF MAJOR TRAUMA
1. Silco has been arrested several times since arriving, and his crimes include racketeering, larceny, and blackmail.

2. Has been making 100,000 krypto donations multiple times a month to a local orphanage for over a year.

3. Wears cosmetics daily.



o1. Snow Drifter
[ Every time they've gone out into the snow and ice, Silco has seemed to gain layers, and by now, he's even donned boots and another layer of a coat. His arms folded around his middle, as they trek higher and higher up the mountain, Silco strays further and further behind. The wind picks up, and he stubbornly keeps trudging through the snow, but he's shivering and shuddering from the chill.

Eventually, he falls far enough behind that the beer sled Tezcatlipoca is used, because his fingers and toes are stiff enough that hypothermia is settling in, and though he'll hover a... few of the outsiders, there's little to keep him, given how much slower he is than the rest.

He waggles a bottle of beer, stashed away on the sled, before he holds it out, in offer.
]

Fancy a bottle? It's even free. I'm normally not in the business of giveaways.

[ Yes he is just giving away bottles of beer in exchange for a little bit smoother of an ascent.

Though his eyes trail... behind whoever he is wagging the bottle at, focused on something out there. A shadow that draws his eye.

His lips thin into a line, like there's something unwanted, detestable out there in the snow. He doesn't speak up, but there's clearly something there.

But what?
]


o2. It Belongs in a Museum
[ Most Outsiders that step onto the ship are ones that seem more interested in historical finds... and then there's Silco. How did he convince someone to let him on here? Who knows, but then again, his lean frame moves stealthily enough that it's likely that he simply snuck on.

Then again, given the way he's looking at the things on the ship, with a half-unblinking eye, it's easy to tell that he's less interested in investigating and more interested in...

Appreciating history in a different way.

By slipping his fingers into one of the bags on deck, and pulling out something small, and metal. His eyes evaluated it for a half-second, as if he's trying to determine the worth of it. What is it? Well, it's hard to see from further away, though he's quickly secreting it away into a pocket.

His head lifts, and he looks at whoever is watching, with a half-unblinking gaze, before he lifts a finger to his lips, as if saying: "shhh".
]


o3. Locked (out) and loaded
[ It's late at night; nearly 3 in the morning, and Silco is in the hallways in Brimstone. He's outside his door, puffing on one of those foul-smelling cigars in the hallway, the entire area just a foul-smelling cloud.

He'd leave, but the doors out of the hallway apparently seem to be one-way. As evidenced by the fact that he's just stalking the hallway, back and forth, and back and forth. Can't go home (his room), but he can't go back to his own little office, either.

What is a crimelord to do? Beyond pace and smoke, apparently?

Taryon Darrington
31/ M/ Redemption 01
HEIGHT: 5'9" / 176 cm
DATE OF BIRTH: February 9th, 783 PD
AGE: 31
OTHER: Artificer
1. Taryon fought a chromatic dragon and barely ended the battle intact after getting caught in a lair trap.
2. Taryon battled against the Kraken of his world and narrowly escaped with his life while being ensnared in its tentacles.
3. Taryon fought a demon, briefly in one-against-one combat, and almost perished right after it was killed.


001
[Taryon volunteers immediately. The cold doesn't bother him, and it's pretty close to the winters he's lived in most of his life, and he's got a large robot in the form of Doty to carry suppies - the man himself isn't going to burden himself with rope, extra blankets, and food.

The trip to the mouth of the cave is scored by Taryon muttering the narration of the trip: a list of everyone who's walking with him, a poetic description of the mounds of snow, and a never-ending cascade that is apparently meant to heighten the tension until the plot takes them to something more interesting.

He only stops when they reach a shear cliff, to say:]
I can make a few people fly down there.

[He lowers the scarf protecting his mouth to show off his confident smile.]

003.
Doty, look at this! [The 9-foot-tall automaton swivels its head to directly center its optics on an old spear with a chipped head and a half-rotten wood shaft. Taryon gives it a few trial thrusts before trying to do a cool color guard flag spin - it's a slowly, shaky movement that threatens to knock into anyone else examining the deck of the ship.]

We're on an actual viking ship! How cool is that?!

( What Hatsutori can do is far less interesting to him than what others can do - especially when it comes to someone like Taryon, who's said he'd studied to get to where he is. He's really, really curious. )

And how can you do that?

( Also, passively, he definitely thinks the robot is So Cool. He's been periodically staring at Doty. )

CAVE DIVING

[ Power's actually not doing badly, under the circumstances. She's freezing cold, of course, but she's also bundled up as much as possible, and although she grouches about it every step of the way, she's keeping up with everyone as they trudge up the mountain.

... At least, until Power catches a glimpse of a figure up ahead with long, braided hair blowing in the wind. She freezes, figuratively and almost literally, and when the familiar voice floats through the snow, lilting 'Be a good girl, Power.' in that awful, calm voice, Power just turns tail and runs. She's wildly unsteady on her feet, slipsliding and stumbling all the way, until she eventually overbalances and falls face-first into a snowdrift. She immediately sits up and begins stumbling to her feet again, wild-eyed and breathless. ]

Bakugō Katsuki
18 / MALE / 009
HEIGHT: 172cm (5'7½")
DATE OF BIRTH: April 20
SPECIES: EMPOWERED HUMAN
OCCUPATION: HERO / POLICE OFFICER / JERK
1) Was called "Sludge Villain Incident Boy" during middle school.

2) Refused to play in his class band unless they agreed to murder the rest of the school with music.

3) Forcefully paid his classmate back ¥50,000/$500 for night-vision binoculars, then secretly worked odd jobs after school to refund himself, only for his classmates to notice anyways and pool ¥50,000/$500 together to help him with his financial troubles.

▶ 001. CAVEDIVING.

💥 ➊ Cold Path

[Fucking cold! Bakugo's a miserable Popsicle among the Outsiders. Even with his winter costume and some extra gear thrown on top, chill continues sucking through the tiny crevasses in his armor and sticking cold fingers into his cheeks or on his ears whenever it can. He trudges through the snow and ice, grumbling the entire time into the wrap of scarf and high collar of his costume's top.

Occasionally a small "Boom!" sounds within the group as he ignites a basketball-sized explosion from his palm. Bitching at him about it-- see: risk of avalanche --only gets a yell back about the gale already around and his need to keep his damn body and Quirk warmed up! If he finds a useful piece of dead plant debris or broken wood, Bakugo's swiftly making a torch out of the item and passing it around through the Outsiders for some warmth as they trek.]


💥 ➋ Shade Tricks

[It's not the first time he's seen someone from his world here. The powerful back covered in blue, twin tufts of blonde hair blowing in the frozen wind, the very image of security and power as his hero rises in front of him. Bakugo narrows his eyes in irritation despite the twinge in his chest at seeing All Might once more. Even if he knows it's nothing more than a fake. The worm played these same kind of tricks on them during the snowstorm outside Vegas. He's not falling for this shit again.]

Oy. [A quick growl towards one of the other Outsiders.] Whoever you see isn't real. This happened before. Some shitty kaiju trick. Stick with the rest of the group, unless you wanna get lost in the blizzard and die.

[Blunt, but fair enough warning.]


▶ 002. JOTNAR APPEARS + 003. LAND-HO!

💥 ➊ Yeet a Yeti

BURN UP AND DIE! [HA! This time there's no darkness pervading the area blinding them! Bakugo's entire body courses with heat as he bounces back and forth between explosions, not only keeping himself moving but heating up the air around the giant kaiju's head and shoulders. A roaring shout matches his explosions decibels and he crashes a huge blast straight into the monster's face. It barely has space to stumble backwards in the cramped cave, crashes one shoulder into the wall, and Bakugo flies backwards in a flurry of dodges as icy spires rain down from the ceiling.

Shit! He flips over onto his back, aims both hands, and- ]
DIE!! [Carpet bombs the ceiling with a veritable barrage of explosions. Icicles and spikes vaporize and shatter into harmless sprinkles in his wake, eliminating swaths of danger along the way. He alternates between attacking the creature and obliterating its attempted ceiling strike in quick succession, occasionally paying attention to other Outsiders as they fight.] Get to your right! There's a fire going!

💥 ➋ Save a Ship

[Bakugo swoops down and snatches another Outsider from the sudden crash of ice and debris. He lands on a perch of rock jutting from the cave wall, making sure his companion is safe beside him on the ledge.] What the hell? [He can only watch as wood and ship bow practically burst through a fragile ice wall and shadows beyond. Riding the clinking wave of frozen shards like a small cresting wave, the entire thing surges into the already-cramped room and finally eases to a stop. Bakugo stares at it in a mixture of shock and awe. He recognizes the style as old Norse culture, but-] How did something like that get all the way in here?

[Sure, artifacts have been frozen in glaciers and buried in caves for eons even in his own world, but something about this find and the Rifts is unnerving. With another series of explosions, Bakugo takes himself and the other Outsider down to the ground before they begin exploring the ship itself.]
