( 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.

[ She nearly skids and slips at the pat, because she might as well be a baby deer next to him. ]

Oh! No, I'm not really... I have found it in the mountains, yes, but it's nothing like this! It's impossible to tell anything apart, and how does one ever learn to walk in such deep snow?

Number one, you follow the sky! Let the sun be your guide. Also, bring a compass. Very important. [Elmer pats down his coat, as if looking for one... but nothing turns up. Oh well.] Second, take long strides! Plant your foot down with confidence and y--

[He attempts to do so, but the snow is a little deeper than he was anticipating in that spot. With a short yelp, he faceplants right into the snow bank. Good job, Elmer.]

[ I'm sorry, even Merrill recognizes irony. She laughs, but immediately feels bad about it and tried to toddle to his side to grab his arm and help him up. Tiny maybe but she's a lot stronger than she looks. But one would have to be, to swing around the tall staff strapped to her back. ]

Your poor face! Up you get!

Whoop--! Hey, thanks! See, it can certainly be tricky. [Elmer just laughs merrily as he pats all the snow off of himself.] You're pretty strong for such a tiny thing! I think you'll do just fine out here.

[ She'll leave the snow patting to him. ]

It is unwise to underestimate a Dalish elf. ...Although not being able to walk straight does not help my case much, does it?
