Roleplay:Everwinter/Part1

The Frozen Tundra
(The heroes have just realized they're lost as they stand in the middle of nowhere surrounded by freezing cold snow.)

Lien-DOS: This weather is interfering with my sensors, I am no longer able to pinpoint our location.

Dimitri: This has never been a section of the island I was fond of...

(Meanwhile on a different part of the tundra, a mobian rabbit like creature can be seen with a strange gem in her hand, she appeared to be looking for something)

(The group continued to trudge through the snow until they noticed the shine off the gem.)

Luger: Lien-DOS, can you scan that?

Lien-DOS: There appears to be a heat signature up ahead!

Rabbit Creature:*the gem glows brighter and then she opens up a portal between two trees*

Lien-DOS: There is an energy signature too! *she runs towards it*

(The Rabbit notices Lien-DOS, she then under goes an intricate transformation sequence, and then quickly goes through the portal)

Lien-DOS: *speeds up to try and get to the portal*

An Unusual Cave
(On the other side of the portal, there apears to be a bizzare landscape resmbling a distorted ice cave)

Lien-DOS: *quickly jumps through the portal and stops, the other three soon catching up* Hello?

Rabbit:*looks behind her and notices Lien-DOS* You shouldn't be here, this is a dangerous place!

Lien-DOS: But what are you doing here? We were investigating the strange energy signals.

Nudge: Its a long story, lets just say that theres something "important" here.

(A large, icy spider like creature crawls past Lien-DOS)

Lien-DOS: Important? But-

Dimitri: *moves forward and cuts her off* It's alright, Lien-DOS. *notices the spider creature* What on Mobius is that?

(A green Fox covered in thin black coat and and black sneakers makes his way through the snow.)

Neo: How did I even end up here?

(He continutes on his way as he hears a someone ask what something was. He looks up and notices a cave. He charges to it only to stop in fear, sitting on the wall was giant blue spider. He holds out his four light green claws but does not act on the spider.)

Nudge:*slashes the "spider" with her sword* She knows we're here!

Moon: *quickly turns to look at the person who ran in, but what Nudge said was a more pressing concern* Who?

(A large gust of icy wind blows at the group, and even more of the "ice spiders" gather to the center)

Neo: Great... *Slowly backs away from the corner.*

Moon: *draws her blades* I think we have work to do...

(A tall blue figure in a white hooded cloak and what appears to be a rotating snow flake in the place of its face emerges)

Lien-DOS: *looks at the figure in confusion* Hello? Could you identify yourself, please?

Figure:*wails eirily*

Lien-DOS: I do not understand.

Luger: *steps in front of Lien-DOS, eyeing the figure warily* Keep your guard up.

Nudge: That is a witch, its what I've come to fight!

Luger: Should we attack?

Nudge: No, if it kills you, not even a body is left behind, you'll be gone forever.

Neo: So what do you suggest we do?

Nudge: Stay put, I'll handle this.

Witch:*wails erily*

(Moon and Luger look at each other.)

Luger: You should probably do it soon then.

Neo: ... *Neo keeps his claws out just in case*.

Nudge:*removes her hat and waves it infront of her, and then five swords fall into the icy ground, she picks up two swords and throws them at the witch*

Witch:*howls as it gets hit*

(Luger and Moon both stand on guard with their weapons drawn, but just wait for now.)

Nudge:*she picks up the two remaining swords and charges at the witch*

(The icilce hanging from the roof of the cave break apart and fall onto Nudge)

Nudge:*falls to the ground* Aah!

Moon: *immediately heads over to clear the ice off of Nudge*

Nudge:*gets back up* Thanks.

(Multiple "ice spiders" carge at both Nudge and Moon)

Moon: *nods to Nudge but then sees the spiders and begins to fire energy blasts at them*

Nudge:*turns her magic staff into a carbine and starts shooting at the spiders*

(The ice spiders retreat)

Moon: *she kept firing until it was clear they were retreating* What about the "witch"?

Witch:*blows an icy wind and fires razor sharp pieces of ice at the group*

Neo: * swipes at the ice pieces* Well looks like your little plan to 'Kill the witch' failed!

Lien-DOS: *puts up a nanite shield to block the ice shards* We can not just give up.

Nudge: I think its time for a last resort. *she leaps up high, removes her bowtie and it wraps around her cane, turning it into a larger prescision lock cannon and fires it at the witch*

Witch:*wails as it gets hit, and melts away. along with the ice spiders*

(Everyone starts to relax slightly.)

Luger: Is that it?

Lien-DOS: I'm no longer detecting its energy signature.

Neo: Great, anyone mind telling me where we are?

Dimitri: *comes forward from where he was taking cover* That I can. We're in a remote part of the Ice Cap zone on the floating island.

Back in the Tundra
(The strange cave fades away and the and they seem to be back to the tundra)

Dimitri: Hmm. With that interruption out of the way we should return to more pressing matters; namely, our escape from this blasted zone.

(A small black and silver, egg-shaped thorn falls to the ground)

Moon: *kneels down and looks at the thorn, then looks up* Where did this come from?

Nudge:*picks up the thorn* This is a grief seed, a witch's egg, its what gets left behind when a witch is defeated.

Dimitri: *looks it over and scans it with one of his tendrils* Interesting. What does it do?

Neo: Who cares, Looks useless. *Taps the side with his claws with no reaction from the thorn.* See? Nothing. *Turns to Dimitri* So this is Icecap Zone? How did we end up here, Doctor? *Puts his hand up to his mouth Swiftly* ...Why did I...do I know you?

Nudge: Actualy, Its very important, *takes out her gem* this is my soul gem, it has gotten alittle dim, *taps her gem with the grief seed, and it becomes bright again*,  see, now my magic will much be stronger.

Lien-DOS: *watches Nudge with interest*

Dimitri: *gives Neo an odd look* ...I'm not sure. As for your question we were here investigating some abnormal energy signatures.

Nudge:*whistles* Nuubey!

Neo: Wait, Soul Gem Your a magic Girl?!?
 * A pink and white chao with two long, feeler-like appendeges hanging off his head, and a red oval on his forehead flies to Nudge*

Nudge: Yep, I am a magical girl contracted to Nuubey.

Dimitri: Magic? Bah.

Moon: *looks at Dimitri* As long as it can help us.

Nudge: And that bizarre cave we were in, that was a witch's barrier, but now its over, what are theese "matters" you were talking about?

Dimitri: The "matters" are that we can't just stand here in the middle of this frozen wasteland. I can already feel the frost on my circuits.

Neo: *To Nudge* Don't see the point. *Looks her up and down, then shakes his head.* I could have done that myself, and with my soul. *Turns rudely away and looks at Dimitri. When he does his posture changes Quickly.* Well...we would need to find some type of cover. All I can see is snow.

Nudge:*reverts back to her normal form* Hmmp,*feels the cold* Gah, Its freezing here!

Lien-DOS: The weather is still interfering with my sensors, but there is evidence of solid formations to the northeast of here. *points*

Nudge:*still shivering* Should we go there?

Moon: It's the only plan we have. *starts walking*

Nudge:*is so cold, she can't move*

Luger: *notices this and stops* Are you alright?

Nudge:*shivering* I...I should be fine!

Luger: *frowns, before pulling off his coat and offering it to her* Here.

Nudge:*feels much better* Thanks!

Neo: *Rolls eyes*

Nudge: Should we go to the formations you spoke of?

Luger: *nods to Nudge and goes to catch up with Moon*

Nudge:*follows*

(As they keep walking the terrain starts to become more uneven, causing them to have to hike up hills.)

Nudge:*looks around and steps carefully*

Luger: It's almost too quiet around here...

(The plain they're walking up is steadily getting steeper.)

Nudge:*looses her footing and falls back* Wah!

Neo: *Grabs Nudge's hand.* Oh, no you don't. *Tries to pull back up.*

Nudge:*gets back up* That was close!

Lien-DOS: *looks back to them in concern* Oh my, are you alright?

Neo: She's fine robot, let's just go. *Tries to cover up a bit of a blush*.

Lien-DOS: *tilts her head* Mr. Neo, you have elevated temperatures in your face.

Neo:*Stops for split second, as if trying to think of something, then glares very rudly at Nudge.* It's the magic, it effect my physicl being. Let's go.

Lien-DOS: *doesn't look any less confused but starts moving again anyway*

Nudge:*brushes back her ears* Well!

Moon: I see something that might be a cave up ahead.

(The rocks began to get more jagged, and there did in fact appear to be various cave like structures.)

Neo: Good, we should rest in one of the caves.

Nudge:*sighs* Great......

Neo: What would seem to be the problem Ms.Nudge? *Quickly changes his expression and tone* I mean if I cared.

Nudge:*glares at him* Like its any of your business anyway!

Neo: For one, we're traveling together, in an area where we might freeze to death, it pretty much is my buisness. Two, that wasn't very Ladylike. (Good thing I visit Pages!)

Dimitri: If you both are done bickering, we need to hurry and get to this cave.

Nudge:*sighs* Fine.....

Shelter?
(Everyone begins to enter the cave. It's dark, but not quite as cold as outside since there isn't any wind.)

Neo: Well, this is nice.

Nudge: ........if you say so.

Dimitri: *sighs* It will have to do... *shudders slightly since the dark cave brings back bad memories*

Lien-DOS: *just standing there* I am scanning the cave now. It appears to be much longer.

Nudge: Great, this shoul be good.

Lien-DOS: Perhaps we should investigate further?

Neo: Well that would depend upon our companions.

Nudge Im not a big fan of caves.

Dimitri: ...Neither am I.

Luger: Some of should scope out the area while the rest stay here then.

Nudge: Hmmm......

Neo:Your going to make me check it out aren't you?

Luger: *shakes his head* Not just you, I'll go. And anyone else who wants to. Just as long as no one goes anywhere alone.

Neo; Well, you got something to fight with?

Luger: *pulls out his blaster*

Neo: Alright then, let's get going. Unless anyone else has an objection?

Luger: *glances around*

Moon: I'll stay here with everyone else.

Nudge: Me too

Neo: Alright let's get moving Luger.

Luger: *nods and starts walking further into the cave*

With Luger and Neo
Neo; *As they get out of earshot.* So...what do you think of our companions?

Luger: *gives him a questioning look* Why do you ask?

Neo: Well I've noticed some things about them and I know you know about them more than I do. Like lien...she's not a real echindna, is she?

Luger: No, she's not. She's actually a computer program. Her echidna form is just a hologram made of nanites.

Neo: I figured part of that was true, but I though robot more than Hologram. Anyways what about Moon, you and her seem to have some type of connection...

Luger: *he paused, smiling slightly* That's right. We're... together, actually.

Neo: I thought that was it. Then there's Dimitri, who seems nice enough, but then there's the giant elephant in the room, Nudge. What about her?

Luger: This is the first time I've met her, I don't know any more than you.

Neo: Hmm...Well what do you think of her so far?

Luger: She's our ally, so I can't complain.

Neo: *Sighs* I don't like her...but I guess I don't have to like to get outta of here, Huh? *After a bit of Silence* Can I ask you question?

Luger: You have to work with what you have. *glances over at him when he speaks again* Go ahead.

Neo: You ever feel like you have a certain emotion about a person but you also have a different emotion concerning that person? Like two different feelings for them?

Luger: *looks thoughtful* I think I know what you mean. These different emotions... They're romantic, aren't they?

Neo: I...don't know...

Luger: *just nods* I see. You'll figure it out.

Back with the Others
Dimitri: *looks around the cave uneasily* I can't say I'm fond of our situation...

Nudge: Mm-hm......

Lien-DOS: It is only temporary. Soon we'll find our way out of this zone.

Nudge: Thats good to hear.

Dimitri: I do hope you're right...

Moon: *just sits to the side, thinking and keeping watch, she then starts to notice something*

A female hedgehog walked up to everyone. She seemed injured on her left shoulder. "Can you guys help me? I just woke up and I don't know where I am."

Moon: *quickly stands up when she hears the other voice, but relaxes since the person seemed friendly* We're not much better off.

Lien-DOS: *notices her injured shoulder* Oh my! *runs over to her and starts scanning it*

The female hedgehog looked at her shoulder. "I'll be fine." She smiled.

Lien-DOS: It does not appear to be infected and the cold has stopped the bleeding.

The female smiled even more. "Thank you uh....um....."

Lien-DOS: *she stepped back to a more courteous distance* My name is Lien-DOS. And this is Moon, Nudge, and Dimitri. *gestures to each of them*

The female nodded. "And I'm Chantrea. Nice to meet you all." She grinned.

Nudge: Hey........

Chantrea looked at Nudge. "Hello. It's nice to meet you! You look familiar. What's your name again?" She gingerly asked.

Nudge: Ebony Barbara Delicado, or Nudge for short.

Chantrea smiled. "I have a friend that likes you. Don't tell him I told you! He'd be so upset." She giggled.
