'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again When Naomi got the invite from Carlo, she thought it was going to be just a regular run out to complete a mission. But then she realized that he was asking her to go to the dungeon, on the first floor. She began to recall stories about the dangers that happened down there, some coming from Carlo himself when he mentioned how a lot of people died when they fought against the floor boss. The thought that she had to go down there herself chilled her to the bone - and not just because of the freezing temperatures of the place. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Carlo asking her to come, and the fact that she acknowledged how she was going to have to start somewhere if she wanted to keep up with the others, she would have rejected it. She also had to remind herself that everything they were doing now was to help them get out of this game alive. They needed to complete every floor, or so they were told. Doing regular old quests weren't going to be enough, even though she hoped otherwise. It didn't take her long to fly down there and spotted her lover waiting for her under a large tree. Upon landing, she walked up to him as she rubbed her arms with her hands to get warm. "Geez, it's freezing here. Is it going to be just as cold further in?" Too nervous to really think about what she was about to do here, she focused on something else to complain about. kingrex

Well this was really fucking familiar! Drakka cast a furious gaze over the whole of this snow wasted, god-forsaken place!...and then she plummeted face-first right into the snow, shivering as a jolt of cold ran right up her spine. God, this was so hard! Again, she was up on her feet, ignoring the pain that laced her paws as the crusted snow practically became a part of her fur, and sighing out a long burst of white as she trudged onward. Everything hurt but she was making an effort to make sure everything else in this snow wasteland hurt as much as she did! The thought was almost enough to warm her heart...or was that hypothermia? Eh, whatever, she was here and that was all that mattered. Perhaps she'd get a chance to get a prize after the damn unfairness that had been the game when it gave literally everyone but her a chest. She had done most of the fighting that time around! So, all in all, she was in a really foul mood when she arrived today. Both at Kingrex for bringing them back to the place, and at the game creators for making such a sadistic game. Who knew, maybe they were actually sadists, it'd certainly fit them. As she arrived, she shook out her coat of snow and blinked sleet out of her eyes, " Get used to it butterfly, I got fur and this place is still freezing my balls off." papilion kingrex

 | Rex forced a grin to his face, leaning away from the tree and moving to place his hands on Naomi's arms, rubbing them briefly and holding her that way, “Yeah...Fuck'n miserable, right? ” Carlo tried to joke quickly retracting his hands when Drakka joined them moments later.
He'd flick his sharp blues towards the teen, “Wow! Hold up! You've got balls?!” Rex rambled in shock, crouching down some and tilting a look in an attempt to see what parts she was hiding underneath all that fur. Had he been mistaken about her gender all the time?! Kids these days were getting so weird about that shit!
Before it got any more awkward than what it already was, Rex leaned away and reached to ruffle the back of his hair just under his ponytail, a bit of nearly frozen sweat collected at a cheek as he frowned, “Ahh..Whatever...So here's the deal, we've got some ice giants or something like that to take care of.” He explained before lowering his hand and giving a more serious look to the two, “Guess they killed some players, heard the story while I was drinking a few days back.”
He paused to flick open some of his menus and bring up a mini-map of sorts, spinning it so it was visible well enough for all of them, “...From what I remember they should be North East...Here, in a ruined village.” Carlo tilted a look from his map and towards Naomi and Sam, “...I bet they're hell to kill, but we have some advantages with Bubblegum being able to fly, my Mecha...And you're ability to grow in size and get stronger too, Sam. I think we can knock them down if we focus and play it right.”
Rex tried to sound as tactical and leaderish as possible, he'd always been a grunt following someone else's command, and being in the spotlight wasn't exactly his forte, but the military trained you to adapt and survive. He put a hand on his hip then, “...Any input before we get moving?” He valued his guildmates' opinions...Well besides Akeno's.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi smiled back at the approaching Carlo and relished what little heat and intimate warmth she could get from their brief contact. It went away as soon as Drakka arrived and spoke up. With a sigh, she glanced at the third member of their party with a frown. "Well at least you have some kind of padding! All I've got is my own skin and bones."When Carlo started looking Drakka over, she first thought he was teasing her and began to chuckle. As soon as she realized that he was actually being serious in figuring out Drakka's gender, she had to cough aloud to hide the bubbling laughter. Really, she shouldn't be surprised at his simple-mindedness sometimes. Before she could tell him to knock it off and leave the poor woman alone, he straightened up and spoke of their mission in the area. His plan was straightforward enough, and Naomi couldn't see how else they could use the environment to their advantage. The village could probably provide better cover, but nothing to help them kill the giants. "I can keep blinding them if you think that's a good idea," Naomi said as she pulled out her new dagger. "Might make them more dangerous though." Without being able to see, those giants would probably be a lot more reckless and unpredictable with their attacks. kingrex drakka

Drakka's ears shot up and her snout ended up in its odd crinkled appearance as Rex actually took her grumbling seriously, " W-what? No dammit! Knock it off!" She skittered away from Rex, crossing her legs until she almost fell over, " Goddammit! Take a joke bastard!" She hissed before proceeding to try and take a step and promptly tripped and coated herself in a new coat of snow. She barely budged, stewing in her own mistake for a moment and silently listening to Rex's plan. She could see how that was practically the only plan that could take down the giants...though she'd rather not have Papilion around, as she was too small and Drakka barely knew her, as long as she stayed in the air Drakka supposed she could defend her. " Mmm...ok...that sounds reasonable." She grumbled, shaking out her fur for what felt like the millionth time and probably would be sooner or later. She nearly started continuing on with a traditional "Don't die." When Rex actually asked for some feedback on this! Well, what a surprising day today was! Rex was growing up, wasn't he!? What was next, a volcano appearing!? These thoughts clearly ran across her face as she smirked toothly, but she made her pause worth her while, " Then I got something, buy me some time, lots of it, if you can. I need time to build up, and I'd rather on of my Shadow Pack die than you guys." kingrex papilion

| Rex listened closely to the two of them as they gave suggestions, taking a drag on his cigarette before breathing out a poof of white smoke, “..Alright, so I'll hit hard at the start...Drakka you save yourself long enough to power up or whatever that is...And then help me finish.” He'd flick a gaze on Naomi then, “I think that blind can be real handy...Maybe when I'm reloading or overwhelmed...I'll let you make the call on timing.”
With that he'd give them a nod, turning his back on them to take the lead through the snowy abyss. Trying to make good time through the fluffy white weight was nearly impossible, and he didn't even want to think about flying and having that cold arctic like breeze right in his face, if Papi was willing to deal with it then more power to her!
They were probably about halfway there when Rex finally stopped to lean himself on a tree, turning himself around to face the girls, though knowing them they might have been in front of him this entire time, “...You two alright? Need a break?” He'd ask with a hot visible breath, flinching his fingers to feed them with warmth.

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again As Carlo listed down the plan, and what each one of them was going to do during battle, Naomi nodded. There didn't seem to be anything else they could do, so she agreed wholeheartedly to the plan. Hopefully Drakka's ability would immediately turn the tides in their favor and end this mission quickly. They began to walk forward, before Naomi could even offer to help them get through the mounds of snow quicker. "Do you guys want to...no? Okay then." With a sigh, she lifted up into the air, hovering slightly off the ground and flying alongside them so she didn't have to trudge through heavy snow. The icy wind was relentless as it hit her and the rest of the group. Her hair flew wildly behind her back, but it didn't impede her vision. Up in the air, she had to struggle against the gusts so it wouldn't suddenly send her flying off in the opposite direction. She kept her arms around herself, rubbing them constantly to fight off the cold. It probably wasn't working that well, but every bit helped. A few minutes of walking later, Carlo slowed down to rest. She landed right beside him to rest as well. "I'm okay. We can keep moving if you guys want to."kingrex drakka

Drakka simply shrugged her shoulder, not that it was very visible under all her for and the enormous covering off snow over her, but it was there! She honestly did not care what exactly everyone was going to do during their battles as long as they hit really hard and never got too far away, just in case something tried to kill them. Obviously strategy wasn't too high on the Lobisomem's list of priorities. She just passed along without a word...and then with words. Every single time she took a step too far from the last, she tripped, and then if nobody noticed her string of curses certainly announced her screw up. Thankfully, she didn't do too much actual complaining save for that, hissing under her breath when her paws settled on ice, but the sound was generally smothered under the howling of the wind. When Rex stopped, she visibly panicked slightly, wanting to get out of here as fast as possible. She shook herself out, spraying the air with snow and sucking in a painful gust of icy air, " No, nope! We don't need to stop! God, I fucking hate this damned place!" She stomped around, refusing to stop for a second as she very obviously wanted to just get this over with. kingrex papilion

| Rex nodded, reaching a hand to pat Naomi's arm briefly before he looked to Sam with a small breathing laugh. She was probably having the worst time of them all, obviously. Ironically the very fur that was keeping her warm was a sticky trap to all that ice and snow. “Alright, shouldn't be to much longer...” And with that the man turned and started to trot through the white abyss once more.
Even he had to admit this place was miserable, he hated it too. If it was one kind of environment he hadn't spent a lot of days fighting in, it was tundras like this. But trying to compare a desert to a winter wonderland was like comparing turds to other turds...There wasn't much difference.
Eventually they'd see some black smoke bellowing up from a few snowy hills, and Rex would stop to turn his head at them, “There...I bet that's it.” He stated lowly, reaching to grab his assault rifle and ready it, nudging his head forward for them to follow.
Another minute or two would bring them to a small ledge that overlooked the ruined village, and sure enough there was three very large and dangerous looking frosty blue skinned giants with loosely fitted fur garments for clothing. They had turned one of the old cabins of the village into a damn campfire, just their size.
The soldier waved a hand behind him as if signaling for Drakka and Papi to get down low, like he was. And when they were close enough he'd whisper, “...So we've got the element of fuck'n surprise here...That's good.” He paused a moment to look at either of them, “I'll call in ORIGIN, that'll cause a big ruckus, and then you two slip in from the sides and flank.” A gloved finger was pointed to the closest of the giants, “We'll focus him, we wont get anywhere if we try to take all three at once.”
...He hoped this was going to be a good plan, and that the nervous feeling in his gut was just his excitement about another life or death gunfight. He'd wait a moment to see if they had anything else to add or suggest before giving a nod, “OK, go get in position and let's fucking do this.” Rex took a hot and visible breath, backing away from the ledge and prepping for ORIGIN to drop when they were in place...

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again They went on without a break, Naomi lifting herself up in the air to fly forward and brace herself against the cold winds. She was actually looking forward to reaching their destination now. At least in the village, they would have more cover against the winds and would start warming up through fighting. As they approached the rising black smoke, Carlo took out his weapon at the ready. Naomi brought out her own dagger as well, palming it nervously as she followed. Now that they were getting closer, she stopped flying and stepped into snow, trudging through it like the rest as she ducked and crouched low. All three of them gathered around to discuss the plan again. Naomi nodded in agreement to Carlo's plan, but raised her hand up to add something else. "I think I can get the other two to fall asleep. As long as nothing hits them, they'll stay that way for a while. But considering their size and strength, it might not last long." If she could help the team take down enemies one by one, the better it would be for all of them. "Let me take them out first, then we can wake one of them up and drag it away from the others for a bit."Once their plan was all set, she would glance at Carlo again, grabbing his arm and squeezing it as she whispered 'Be careful', before flying to her spot. kingrex drakka

Meanwhile, Drakka had never experienced could like this before. She knew the warmth well, she liked the warmth, it made her move, made her survive! Not this, she could practically feel herself shutting down here, as if she might creak to a halt and...stop. Hastily shaking herself frantically, lagging behind a little as she twitched heat back into her stopping frame. Her HP wasn't dropping, she was safe, but it was almost a release of pressure when she heard the crackling of flames and almost basked in the imaginary warmth. She could smell the brutish giants, and even forced herself to crawl over to Rex and peer down into the village. Almost immediately she felt Scaled-Up start to work its magic. She puffed out a breath of white air as her fur spiked up and snow even fell off in her newly agitated state as she resisted quivering in anticipation. " Ok, give me some time, I'm going to need time before I can fuck up these guys." She crawled low, startling out of place in the white hell, but managed to reach an overturned house before Scaled-Up activated, and her claws lengthened frighteningly. She didn't attack quite yet, waiting for Papilion to put the others to sleep while her stats boosted. kingrex papilion

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi's sights were trained on the three ice giants as she flew up. It was still really cold and windy, but she just had to bear it for a while. As she went closer, she could hear a loud sound from behind, and watched the giants look up from what they were doing and snap to attention. She used Transparent Concealment to become invisible and hide from their sights, just in case. The moment she heard Carlo shouting, she dived down to the center of the three giants. Dropping her cloaking ability, she turned her back on the two giants who were about to follow the first one, and spread her wings outward. When the giants saw her and the patterns on her wings, they stood paralyzed for a brief moment. Their other fellow giant was unaware of what was happening and continued heading for the equally large robot that had just come into its view. She began flying over the two in circular motions, scattering her butterfly scales all over them as quickly as she could. Before the two giants could move, their eyes grew heavy and they dropped their weapons to the ground with a loud thud. Their bodies followed soon after as they both crashed to the ground, snoring soundly. Leaving them alone for now, Naomi went after the first giant, moving around to the front so she could blow a cloud of poison smoke at its face. It roared and tried to swing its weapon at her, but she ducked down then started flying towards Carlo. With another angry cry, the giant started chasing after her. kingrex drakka

Drakka closed her eyes and curled her lips as two thuds rang out behind her, and she was just getting one Shadow Pack right now! God, couldn't they have waited longer!? She thumped her tail recklessly, flattening her ears until she just couldnt take it any more. By the time her patience finally broke, she had maybe one more Shadow Wolf and grew two more times...she was still shorter than the giant's knees. " Go get him!" She howled, and her Pack exploded into activity. Her heart, or what amounted to a heart in this fucked up game, was pounding. Her breath was in her throat, she was going to catch something. In the real world or not, another damn day. Except it was different. She flinched as Papilion came dangerously close to being clipped, and snarled as she charged straight into the giant's leg and unleashed a Snake Bite. With her current growth, it did satisfactory damage, and gained her enough attention to go flying as the giant just moved. In a few terrifying seconds, she had flown against a broken house and struggled to her feet as a foot stomped through. The Pack was doing their best, hounding the giant with nips and claws, and Drakka steadily gained traction as she grew yet again, spikes peppering we back as her tail became club-like and her fangs grew. Another bite. Another slash. She could take a hit, they couldn't, she could do it! kingrex papilion
