( closed ) let it snow, let it snow, let it -- yeti?!

Date & Time: November 27th - December 5th, 3313
Location: Spaceshuttle, Winter Wonderland Exsilium
Characters: All those on the official scouting mission to Exsilium.
Summary: The Transports send down a collection of their own in order to investigate the whys of the sudden drop in radiation on the island, and to locate the Initiative.
Warnings: Please PM the mod account should anything in this log go into graphically violent territory.
Notes: You know the drill! Specify dates and times in subject lines, set up as many scenarios as you like, and for information on if a run-in with Exiles will net your character(s) a chance to talk with or make contact with the Initiative, ask over here!

The satellite imagery AI was able to capture and download onto tablets doesn't speak adequately to the pristine, chill landscape the space ship descends into under cloaking technology. The crystalline landscape is almost beautiful, stark brights and shadows turning the countryside into something soft, alien, and deadly. Winter has arrived, in a way some may be familiar with, and to others, may be entirely new.

The ship is a mile out from the largest identified gathering of heat signatures and power structures, in a city built over part of what once was London, formerly known as Exsilium to the Transports. There is no Eye of London to be found, only a partial tower that stands suspiciously close to where Big Ben once stood. The river Thames remains present, but the built up structures, the identifiers of "modern" Exsilium are all gone, lost and buried underneath the snows if ever they existed.

This is not a friendly landscape, though the people are friendly enough, should you not go out of your way to offend them or display your alien natures.

Find the Initiative. Take stock of the landscape. Report back what you can. Scouts, you are our best hope in understanding this new landscape.

Good luck.

[Abbey turns around slowly to regard the tall human.]

Maybe. May be relative.

[ "Relative?" His eyebrow is definitely raised. ]

And if he is not?

[She crosses her arms and regards him icily.]

Is still yeti like me. I will talk to him.
aequivoci: (our skin like bronze)

[ Aw don't be like that girl. ]

Well, don't let me stop you~

[She'll be like that as much she pleases, dude. :T]

Was not planning on it.

[And off she goes in the direction she spotted the other yeti going in. She's not even turning back to see if Cross is following. If he knows better, he won't, she thinks.]
aequivoci: (ordered the hors d'oeuvres)

[ Brr, so cold.

Sadly, he does not know better (he never does), and he will be following her with the help of an ace up his sleeve disguising his presence. He won't approach her again until after her potential interaction with the yeti.

[Yep, Abbey doesn't even realize that Cross is following her. Within a few moments, she's pretty much forgotten all about her encounter with him. Her main objective now is to find that yeti she saw.

It doesn't take long. She finds him by the outskirts of a forest, crouching and digging into the snow as if to search for something.

She shouts out in fluent Yetish to him:]


'Uncle Frostovitch?'

[The yeti looks up in astonishment at the question, and after what seems like minutes, mumbles something in reply. Abbey frowns in great confusion, then responds.]. 'Ah, I apologize. You looked like one of my great-uncles.'

[The elderly yeti replies, commenting on Abbey being foreign to this place. He seems very tense and on guard. His discomfort is very evident to the teenage yeti, and she's very careful with the words she says next.] 'I am not from this land, but I am obviously a yeti, too.'

[The older yeti says nothing to this, which prompts Abbey to continue.] 'I mean no harm, elder. I'm as surprised as you to see one of my own kind here.'

[Still, the yeti does not respond, and after a few more minutes, he gets up to leave.] 'Wait!'

[He does not turn around to face her again. She DOES hear him say that she and her "companions" are not welcome here.

She doesn't say anything to this. She'll just stand stiffly as he disappears within the trees.]
aequivoci: (if somebody would've told me a year ago)

[personal profile] aequivoci 2013-12-21 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cross shows himself once the yeti disappears within the trees. He exhales the drag from the cigarette in his hand, and his words are directed at her, but his eye is on the trees. ]

Will you continue following him, at least to see where they reside?

[Abbey's caught offguard when Cross reveals himself. She wasn't expecting this guy to not actually be a human. Could he be a monster?

Maybe a distant relative of Invisi-Billy?]
Why did you follow me?
aequivoci: (underneath our legion's view)

[personal profile] aequivoci 2013-12-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Some people do say he is some percentage of a demon...

Invisi-Billy wishes he was related to Cross Marian.
]

You didn't know how he was going to respond. The last thing we need is you potentially getting killed and no way to bring you back.

[If he were indeed part-demon, Abbey might warm up to him a bit quicker. >:(

...That's probably true.]


Knowing other yetis better than you. Can take care of myself.
