exsiliumlogs | EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

I know.

[ which can just as easily translate into try anything and you'll regret it ]

[ ........ ] Can we just go kick some ass now, or what?

Quill'll complain if we leave him behind.

[ But she doesn't actually look like she cares, swinging her sword across her shoulders. ]

I don't know who that is, I don't care much about his feelings, he's late, he can catch up, come on.

Calls himself 'Star-Lord' when he's feeling important and no one does.

[ She'd say Adam and Quill are grown men and can take care of themselves, but she doubts that. Doesn't stop her from following Tony. ]

He's got a name like Quill and he switches it voluntarily to 'Star-Lord'? [ that makes sense. ] That's a little flamboyant.

[ a shrug ] I kill things, I don't ask questions. Ask him if you want to know why.

Maybe I will. Can you fly?

No.

[ skeptical, because she has a bad feeling about where this is going. ]

Do you want to actually get there today?

And miss the chance for a good fight?

My point exactly, so we're agreed, come on then. [ grab hold let's fly ]

Fine.

[ Whatever, his alternate self didn't drop her the once. So she's just going to stand at his side and wrap one arm around his neck. ]

[ good girl, excellent, he can probably fly pretty well with only one stabilizer, he's flown with only one boot before right, same thing. either way, he holds her with one arm and takes off ]

I've had smoother.

[ she might be shouting in order for him to hear above the wind. ]

[ she probably is. he could probably pick it up if she weren't, he's got pretty good mics he found here in Exsilium - one of the very very few bonuses to being surrounded by both retro and future tech: blending them together. ]

You're throwing off my center of gravity. And using one of my stabilizers.

Here I thought you'd be able to handle it.

[ magical flight and teleportation are so much better. ]

[ screw you no they are not ]

We're still aerial, aren't we?

[ she's had smoother rides with both her exs. ]

Am I supposed to take that as the only positive?

[ riding your exs is generally supposed to be rough ]

It's a pretty big positive. Are you going to complain the whole way?

[ gamora bucks that trend. ]

It's something to do.

[ oh ho ho ]

You're still breathing okay, right? I just want to make sure before I go faster.

I'm made to survive. Don't bother asking stupid questions.

[ you're so abusive, okay, jeez, he's just going to turn on the speed then, they'll land pretty quickly ]

[ sounds about right. Gamora steps away as soon as they've landed, sliding her sword out from the sheath. ]

I fight, you fly?
