Team Science

"...Anyway, now that we're done with that little diversion-"

Gavrill turned to Mako and Asami again.

"-maybe we should all head on over to that banquet you mentioned. I have a feeling it might be important."

Armani gave her a thoughtful look, sensing the deeper meaning in her words.

He carefully moved his head to look around again. "You know, you certainly seem to have gotten a handle on things, unless divine intervention stopped the storm and made these outfits."

He looked back at her and bit his lip, thinking. "Remember all those admittedly cheesy things I told you last night?"

It had been a rough scene the previous night; Atrocitus had tried harshly to get her to release her grip on her powers, and had sent her into a spiral. Armani hadn't really known what to do, but had long since recognized in her a pain that he knew all too well from his childhood, and guessed at what the problem was. How he had always felt like there was something undeniably wrong with him, that could never be corrected as he was born the way he was which is what had pained him so much. He had never found a personal way out of it, only finding release in Artemis's acceptance. And, despite her never telling him directly, he had seen first hand what her powers were, and how they likely made her feel...

Armani stared at the ceiling of her room for a moment with his legs curled to his chest, a melancholy expression on his face after reciting the tales of his childhood.

"I'll never forget that feeling, of feeling like no matter how good I was or what I did, I would always be worthless and there was nothing I could do to change that. It was just a part of who I was." He shrugged. "I left it behind that day, thanks to my Mother, but..." He grimaced. "It was pretty...hell."''

He sighed and looked back at the queen who had become focused on his tale, his eyes understanding. "I won't ask you to talk about your past if you don't want to, but I know that kind of pain when I see it. You're disturbed, and afraid, because of who you are and because you know you can't change it."

He idly played with a braid of his, trying to think of how he could make her feel better, perhaps a moral to take away? "I got away from that because others accepted me and put my heart at ease. I don't know what truly troubles you; do you hate who you are? Or are you scared of something?" He paused and looked back towards the ceiling. "Maybe of hurting someone, or being some kind of monster?" He let that hang in the air before shrugging again and giving her a serious look. "I don't know how similar our situations were...but I do know this; as I said, I was shut away that entire time, unable to explore who I was. I was contained, my abilities and desires unknown, and while I don't even now know entirely why I felt as I did, I have no doubt that having that side of me forcibly shut away certainly didn't help. On that day, I learned that I wasn't bad, and I wasn't worthless just for being who I was. I wasn't hurting anyone; could have, still can, but I know the limits of what I can do, and because of that I had nothing to be ashamed of."

"And that", he unfolded his legs, "is true for everyone. I don't need to know the details to know that you're fine the way you are, no matter what kind of ice you can make with your hands"

He was silent again, then sighed definitively and glanced at her new gloves. "I found salvation by acceptance and freedom. I don't know what could ever make you feel better...but I know from experience that trying to contain a fundamental part of yourself", he seemed to withdraw slightly, a hand instinctively going to his chest, "well, it will take the rest of you with it. Atrocitus, for all his stupid ham-fistedness, was right about that."

He hummed and frowned, trying to find a good way to cap this off. "Elsa, don't be afraid to try and find an answer to your problems. Ignoring it really can only get you so far." His face turned a tad bit coy. "Besides, if there was ever a place to look for that kind of answer, it's probably here."

He gently cocked his head up at her. "I take it you've begun to find an answer, then?"

Elsa

"I..."

Elsa stopped and looked round her. A zen like trance hung about the night air such that for all intents and purposes, it was just them two, two interlopers sitting in the middle of a sea of sparkling white. Elsa stopped what she was saying because she realised the storm had stopped. Strange how she never realized it till now.

Standing up she inhaled a wonderfully fresh breath of night air and savored the calm it brought to her. Had the storm stopped because the war inside her was over? No, Elsa looked deep inside herself and saw the last dredges of doubt and fear still clinging to her heart. A slight breeze ruffled her hair as she began to wonder if her doubts will ever be settled.

"I don't know."

She looked down at her hands. Her bare hands. Something in her mind screamed at her to wear some gloves, screamed at her to tell Armani to back off, but now she found that it was possible to ignore that screaming voice in her mind, difficult though it was.

He knew the risks. Yet he still came. Yet they still came. She couldn't even begin to describe what that meant to her, what that made her feel.

She nodded to show that she still remembered what happened the previous night after Atrocitus burned her glove. That was an incredible down point and she still could not believe the thing would be so blunt in his actions. Armani had seen her afterwards and though she never said so, it helped her a great deal- partly why she had dared to come to this mission without gloves.

-"I take it you've begun to find an answer, then?"-

She looked back at Armani before scanning the icy landscape around them. A breeze picked up again around them and brought a single snow flake down to drift before her eyes. Somehow, she was not afraid any more.

"I guess so."

Armani cringed slightly when she lay him back down; he still wasn't trying to move. He ignored that and waited in anticipation for her to say something, then gave a contented hum when she finally did. Well, that was that then. Maybe now she'd finally figure out how to get over her issues. Took a full 2 weeks of coercing to do it, but maybe now his friend would begin to finally know peace with herself.

That was quite elating — he didn't say anything, not deeming a need to add anything else to it — but now that that wasn't his top priority, he had to go back to checking himself.

He stretched individual limbs and his torso slightly, wincing and groaning a little. Yeah, he figured he wasn't going to be moving anytime soon if his health had anything to say about it; he couldn't see beneath these new garments that was more or less now his personal igloo, but he could feel that frostbite covered a large amount of him. He wryly noted that he probably didn't look at all pleasing at the moment.

He stopped trying after a moment; best course of action was just to wait another 10 minutes for personal non-disintegration safety and then take some more ambrosia to heal the rest.

"In the meantime, I'm really not going to be moving for a while. Hope you don't mind waiting." He wasn't particularly perturbed; the stars above were an absolute wonder. He had never seen a night this clear; he guessed this world didn't have my pollution in its atmosphere, and he found himself trying and failing to find familiar patterns in the night sky which was both interesting and frighteningly lonely, a reminder both that he was far from home, but that this mission was taking him to places he could never have dreamed of existing otherwise, much less visiting. At least the moon gave him the same warm comfort, here or Earth.

"I don't think I mind looking up at the sky for a while, anyway." He whistled. "This is probably a pretty common sight in your time, but in my future you really can't get stars this clear." He sounded content, happy to change the subject to something more whimsical for once; he didn't want to spend the next 10 minutes being contemplative and serious and having her be introspective and melancholy. "I think I prefer my forests, but the arctic certainly has a lot of beauty to it." Too bad there was no aura here.

A stray thought struck him, and he suddenly looked a strange combination of amused and nervous. "Say, um, do you happen to see Fletcher or Cassie anywhere out there? They were coming with me but we got separated." He has expected to have seen Cassandra fly overhead by now...they were both probably going to scold him when they saw him.

—...Maybe I should just take some more now and maybe be able to skip a lecture...—

Magic

Cassie was beginning to lose hope about finding Armani and Elsa, she was starting to lose hope when the storm suddenly stopped. She didn't waste time and even if it took her a couple of minutes she finally saw them. Wonder Girl flew down and pointed to Fletcher their direction before flying as fast she could towards them.

She was about to hug Armani but she had second thoughts as both her guilt and timidity stopped her from doing so, she instead tried to touch both of his arms in a friendly way.

"I am so glad both of you are alright, although that's a strange wardrobe choice for you Armani ." she told him with excitement before looking at his new clothes. She then punched Armani in the arm as a sign of affection and said " Don't scare me like that again!."

She then turned towards the ice queen and said "Elsa, is everything alright?.You had all of us worried back then."wondergirl said trying to sound supportive towards the ice queen

MAGIC

"Mhm." Seiga replied, seemingly unfazed.

"Huh, so she's here as well... figures." She said, dusting herself off. "You alright, Maria? And, mind introducing us?" She added, gesturing to Tenzin.

While waiting for the reply, she checked both herself and Maria for any injuries and the like.

SCIENCE

"Tssst. Foiled." Nitori muttered through gritted teeth. With a bit of effort, she composed herself.

"Ah well, I suppose I'll get another chance in the future." Looking at B.B Hood with a look of both smug superiority and disinterest, she said, "I wanted to see the view. He ended up hitchhiking. Why do you care anyway?"

Ryuko - Science

"DO YOU MIND?!" Ryuko shouted down to Sam on the base of the ferris wheel. "TRYING TO GET OUR FRIENDS OUT OF HERE!" she added while she turned to face Nitori and Sokka...

...who was ogling her and her costume. Lovely. Ryuko glared at Sokka, but when he took a step back from his ogling and fell off the wheel with Nitori in tow, Ryuko leaped over to the car they were in, hoping to grab the pair before they fell to the ground. When she reached the car, she looked down and saw policemen grab them in mid-air and set them down gently to the ground. Ryuko breathed a sigh or relief, then jumped off the wheel to retrieve her scissor blade. She then made a dash towards the group, stopping at the base of the wheel.

"Is that it then? We can go to the palace now?" she asked as Senketsu transformed back to his standard clothes.

Team Magic

Jude looked at the boy rushing over to him, trying to keep up a calm face before smiling towards him, "Your mother's gonna be okay, she fell unconcious on the street and we took care of her she just needs a warm be-" His sentence was cut as Bumi appeared.

"Wait, we're trying to help her we didn't attack-" And then bearded man fell unconcious after looking at Toph.

The short teenage boy sighed as the scene unfolded before him, even when he's not in Rieze Maxia the world around him still seemed to love making things complicated.

He gestured for Alvin to put her down as he did that himself gently, trying not move her body more than they already did. He looked at Bumi when they called in for healers, I'll just leave him for the healers they called.

He stared at the stern man and changed to his formal posture, with his hand folded behind his back, he bowed to him. Taking the small time to think of what to say. 'I doubt Toph would like it if I mentioned her, I should probably leave her out.

"I apologize for the commotion sir, we happened to come by the old women here, and near us she just suddenly... Passed out from shock without warning. I checked her vitals and she seems to be fine all, she needs is a warm bed. As for the man-" Jude said as he pointed at Bumi "He did the same. Though I haven't checked on him, I imagine we can count on your healers for that?"

"Agreed," Urza said, with a nod to Gavrille. "We should move on." He glanced over to the three natives of the world who had now become their guides once again.

"On the way, perhaps you can explain what has happened since we last met."

Team Magic

Toph pulled on Colonel Mirror's hair. "Metalbeat, put me down here." She asked, and when her feet touched the ground, she carefully walked towards the gate. "Listen up—" Toph began, before coughing and trying to make her voice deeper so as to not cause any more problems. "Listen up! We're trying to get this woman to safety, and you heard those two!" She pointed in the direction of Unalaq and Tonraq. "So if you're not helping, get out of the way!"

Team Science

"Gavrill!" Donatello yelled, holding the woman by her shoulders and pulling her back. "We shouldn't come out in public, remember? We're famous comic book characters! Do you want to get mobbed by a bunch of people?" He asked while anxiously typing on the T-Pod a message to all: we've got three locals, come find us near the ferris wheel so we can move to the palace, followed by a small emoticon resembling Donatello's head winking at the screen.

Icarax

Icarax had reached destination. Or, thereabouts. He would have approached and entered the long ice rink path way that led up to the palace itself if he had not seen some familiar faces already there. Team magic had already arrived, and worse still, they had brought friends. He recognized the blind girl but the man on which she clung was new and so were quite a number of the others.

Tch. If there had been less, the fight would have been over within seconds and all his team mates would ahve needed to do was to wipe the blood off the walls and get the artifact. But there were too many variables here, especially the two natives that had just come out from the main building. No, he would need to hold off. Meanwhile, he wondered what in the world his own 'teammates' were doing.

Thus he stood a fair distance off, shadowed by the an ice wall that allowed him just enough coverage to stay hidden from sight. His T-pod buzzed and he frowned with annoyance.

After Donatello sent his transmission on the T-pod, the tech would buzz again and this time for receiving a message. There was a click and soon enough, Icarax' voice came over the line.

<<"I have arrived at the ice palace and my patience wanes thin. The other team has already reached the destination. Currently, they are to many and too troublesome for me to deal with.>>

Team Magic

"Then by all accounts, we need to head to the palace." Tenzin said, motioning towards the icy structure to the northeast. "Your friends should meet us there. Korra will be pretty happy to see you again... ah!" He slapped his forehead as he began to walk. "I should fill you in on what happened these past few months, right? Well, after you left..."

As the group followed Tenzin, Jinkuro would feel a slight tug at her back, before Loki put a hand on her shoulder, holding her back. The air in front of them flickered, and illusory clones of Loki and Jinkuro set after the group. "I thought we could spend some time enjoying the festival, without having to care about all of this hunt business." He nodded towards the 'games' section of the festival. "It is not often you arrive at such a cheerful place, especially with a friend."

As Jude and Toph made their cases clear, the soldiers quietly opened up the entire doors, and while Tonraq started walking into the palace to take them to Kya's room, Unalaq remained on the way. "Brother? Are you coming?" Tonraq asked from inside.

Unalaq stared deep into Jude's eyes, narrowing his own before biting the side of his lip in disdain. "Yes." He replied, turning around and walking after Tonraq. "Follow us, and keep her head up. Children, take your uncle." The boy and the younger girl obeyed, lifting up poor Bumi without touching him by simply using their hands, but Jinora remained behind. When the group was heading inside, she walked up behind Toph and smiled to her before following the rest.

They walked past rooms upon rooms that were either filled with workers or guests, before stopping on a long, rectangle room with various beds, a few healers standing by. They motioned for Kya and Bumi to be put on the beds, and started to work on them, taking some water from their pouches and creating a glowing water puddle around their hands which they passed over the bodies of the two unconscious benders. "They're going to be fine. Seems like they passed out from shock." The main healer asked, brushing her hair back. "You guys know what made them do this? Could have been exhaustion too."

Within a few minutes, Tenzin and his group would reach the ice palace walls, just as Tenzin finished talking about what had happened in the past few months, explaining the defeat of the Equalists and Amon, followed by the consequences of the events, and how they thought Korra had lost their bending for a moment. Spotting the soldiers talking amongst themselves, Tenzin approached them. "Hello there, boys! This here is my friend, Maria. I'm extending my guest status to her and any other friends of her."

"She kinda looks like those guys who came in here couple of minutes ago..." One soldier commented, prompting Tenzin to let out a surprised hum.

"Really? What happened?" He asked, and the soldiers looked at each other, before looking back at Tenzin, explaining how his sister and brother had passed out and were taken inside. Upon hearing those words, Tenzin suddenly ran forward, rushing towards the healer room. "Kya! Bumi!" He yelled, as the soldiers waited for Maria and the others to get in before closing the doors.

Team Science

"On my defense, I was whisked away!" Sokka replied, but when Nitori asked why she had a problem with it, he did a double take, and then gave her a smile. "Yeah, Hood. What's wrong with it?"

"Right. Tell everyone to stick close." Mako said, walking past Sam and giving him a stare down, whilst Asami did the same for Ryuuko. "Y'all got a really weird group of new guys, huh?"

"Bizarre doesn't do it justice." Asami commented, whilst Bolin followed her closely, getting close to Ryuuko.

"Soooo!" He began, clasping his hands. "I saw your flashy lights show. Tell me, can you do the whole costume switch thing again?"

The walk to the ice palace was filled by Mako recounting the tale of the past six months, with special emphasis on the final fight with Amon and Asami's tale, so that the group could learn a bit more about her, especially since she didn't play a huge part on the starspawn encounter all those months ago. "Right, so that's what happened." Mako finished as he walked up the stairs. "Watch out, this part's a bit slippy."

Asami had chosen to now focus her attention on the orks and on Nitori, whilt Bolin was dividing his attention between trying to chat up Ryuuko and oogling at the cool guy with the sword that was with the group- Sam was his name, apprently. The one paying the most attention to the conversation, however, was Sokka. Acting as a newcomer- and using the fact that these people did not recognize him- he started asking about the world and how it worked.

Fortunately, he seemed to take the news rather well. He particularly wanted to see these 'cars' that Asami talked about. And those 'planes', they seemed interesting too. It was so interesting learning more about his world, seventy years after... well, after everything! And since they weren't in Fire Nation territory, it meant that they had succeeded in defeating the Fire Lord. The Sokka and Team of this world, that is. It was getting a bit confusing.

As Team Science made their way through the ice rink, they'd be able to catch the tail end of Maria and her group stepping into the palace, just as the doors closed behind them. "We got this new thing on Republic City. They call it payphone. They stick a box in the middle of the sidewalk, you go in, and you use the phone. No need to rush home."

"I told Asami to work on a phone you can take around, but apparently, that'd be too heavy." Bolin said, sighing sadly.

"Also, kinda impossible." Asami chimed in.

Team Science

Gavrill said little as they approached the palace, but while she didn't show it, she was paying careful attention to what everyone else was saying. As they made their way through the ice rink, the departing forms of other team caught her eye. She leant forwards with a hissing intake of breath, quickly stepping ahead of the group just in time to have the door close in her face.

"Ahh... looks like our old friends got here before us."

She had recognized Maria before the door closed. Gavrill hadn't forgotten that it was her who had been responsible for killing Vect, stealing the satisfaction of that particular victory right from under her nose. She looked over her shoulder and shouted back to the others.

"Hurry up! I'm really looking forward to catching up with those guys, aren't you?"

Science

Marina had been distracted by the fact of being human and being pushed to a new environment. Like an excited child she splitted from the group and only was snapped out out of the new and very appealing sights by the action near the Ferris wheel. The now blonde green-eyed teen clad in black winter gear had barely joined with her team-mates as the arrived at the palace.

Magic

On her part Amethyst had taken advantage on the chaos brought upon by Kotaro to go wander off and enjoy the festivities, after all whatever they were here for couldn't be that urgent, right? She was eating a kebab when a message came from the link-pearl about a palace. "well, that sounds fun" she leaped up to look around for the palace and once found she made her way to it.

Team Magic

Having left the explaining of the situation to Jude, Alvin simply followed along, bringing the lady known as Kya to a bed.

Relieved that they didn't give this poor lady (and man) a heart attack, Alvin rubbed his forehead and responded to the healer's query.

"Let's just say they saw something...shocking. I'm sure they'll explain when they wake up."

Ryuko - Science

"Okay then. Let's hurry this thing along..." Ryuko said slinging her scissor over her shoulder. She caught eyes with Asami as she stared her down. She raised an eyebrow at her staring, then looked down at Senketsu who looked up at Ryuko at the same time.

   What's her problem?    he said as Ryuko as she shrugged at his question. She was about to answer him back, but she was cut off all of a sudden by a boy coming from her sides, asking about her costume change. She stared at him with a mix of confusion and slight disgust.

"Uh.... No, I don't need to right now- Who are you??" she answered back to Bolin as she followed the group to the ice palace.

Ryuko twitched her eyes as Bolin continued to try and hit on her and ask about her costume. She mostly stayed silent throughout the whole way, listening to the story that Mako told while they walked there. At least she caught most of it through Bolin's talking. Ryuko put out a deep sigh.

Is there no end to this guy? she thought.

Team Science

Labrys was about to jump in and try to catch her falling team mates when the police managed to do it themselves, somehow manipulating water to do. She let out a sigh of relief as it looked like everyone was okay. She turned around just in time to notice some of the others had made their way over here, along with a few of the locals it looked like. These must be the ones that the others mentioned knowing from before. She heft her battle axe on to her shoulder, as it looked like it was time to finally head to the palace.

The trip there was filled with plenty of explanations about what was going on in this world. Seemed like they had a technological boom in the past few decades, only now getting around to cars and phones. She wanted to point how that portable phones are far from impossible, but she figured it would probably be better to let this world figure that out on its own. As they approached the palace, they saw some people disappear inside, and it looked like one of them recognized that group. "So uhhhh, thats them huh?" She asked, leaning over to one of the veterans. She had no idea what to expect of the other group, so to her they could look like anything.

Team Magic

Jikuro had been about to lazily follow behind the bald man when she felt someone stopping her. She turned to see who's hand was on her shoulder and looked curiously at Loki. Her gaze shifted back in time to witness their fakes being created before turning back to Loki. Seemed like he wanted to have fun at the festival. Jikuro wasn't completely convinced, but honestly she didn't really care. As far as she knew, the palace still had nothing to do with their mission. "Why not? The old man seemed too stuffy for my tastes anyways. Any palace hes invited to can't be much better." She responded.

MAGIC

"It sounds like exhaustion," Maria said, huffing from having actually ran there. Maria ran after Tenzin when it was announced that Tenzin's brother and sister had fainted, having something of an idea on why they may have fainted which was not exhaustion, especially since they are Tenzin's siblings. Hopefully, that will be an acceptable excuse because she did not want to explain too many things to those who didn't need to know. Maria did keep an eye on Tenzin, hoping that since he already knows about Toph, he won't faint on them as well.

SCIENCE

"Oh, so she whisked you away," B.B. Hood said, slightly disbelieving, but accepting the explanation as they followed Mako, Asami, and Bolin.

—-

B.B. Hood listened to Mako, Bolin, and Asami as they explained more about their world... Apparently this world was technologically in the 1920s... She would say it was the Tommy Gun era except that they don't seem to actually have any sort of guns in this reality, while they do have things like mechs and electrified gloves... B.B. Hood's own Uzi and pistol are advanced technology in this world. At the moment, they were talking about payphones and mobile phones.

"Eh, give it a couple of decades," B.B. Hood answered on the idea of mobile phones. She was familiar enough with satellite phones to have used on in the past. She never used one too often since she couldn't easily stuff one in her basket since her world was limited to 1990s technology... Certainly, the T-Phone Donatello gave her was more advanced than any mobile phone she had used. However, Gavrill pointed out the other group had gotten here before then.

"Well then, let's go in!" B.B. Hood said to Gavrill.

Team Science

As team science approached the ice palace, a shadow moved to their left and suddenly, with the clank and crunch of steel boots, Icarax emerged from his place behind an ice wall.

"I see that you are not afraid to keep people waiting."

His eyes glowed with barely restraint malevolence as he took in the scene before him.

Three natives had accompanied his team while others dawdled in the background. From the look of things, the natives knew them and seeing as they've been to this world before, it came as no surprise. Though he would have commented that the natives looked utterly incompetent he realised that nonetheless, they had information regarding their final objective.

Otherwise his team wouldn't be accompanying them. If it turns out that they were following these three for mere recreational purposes, Icarax would teach them discipline.

Turning his gaze to Gavrill, he raised an eyebrow and gave a snort of amusement. Was that sarcasm he detected? Obviously the teams had some people who couldn't stand each other.

"Perhaps then, we should just eliminate the other team. It may save us the trouble of wiping them out later."

Luckily for the others, Icarax wasn't serious this time. Urza and some of the others who considered themselves so important as to be tacticians had decided that they needed to 'preserve' their image. He swore that he would go to the pit before they changed their minds. Still, he detached his great double sword from his back and gave it a mocking twirl with the hand.

Elsa

The ice queen stared out into the frozen landscape- an unbroken smoothness of the purest white, bathed in the eerie glow of the moon. It was really a sight she appreciated. The stars dancing far above in the unsearchable darkness, just a tad less numbered as the stars above Arendelle and strange in formation. Still, it made no difference to her, it was still beauty that made her stop and lose a moment of her life to gazing in wonder.

"Really?"

She spoke almost in a whisper without turning.

"A world without stars?"

She broke away from star gazing and looked back down at Armani, stretched out in the snow. He was still recovering from the ordeal in the blizzard though his progress was still astonishing; that Ambrosia stuff must really be potent.

"I'm sure your forests are a thing of wonder too."

She would have continued the small talk just to pass the time till Armani could get up but Armani happened to mention the 'others'- Cassie and Fletcher. That startled Elsa out of her peace of mind. Why yes indeed, there had been more than just one entering her snow storm. She knew it wasn't just Armani alone. So why, why hadn't they shown themselves?

"The others?"

That was but a panicked response. Armani could tell Elsa was going panic, her eyes were wide and scanning the horizon with zeal. A light wind had picked up around them, ruffling Armani's hair...and also bring in the smell of a fast inbound Cassie.

It would seem that Elsa needn't have worried because not a moment later, Cassie plunged out of the night sky and landed in a flurry of soft snow beside them. Elsa took a step back in surprise but quickly settled into a warm smile when she realised that all was right with the world.

"I'm sorry for causing you worry, Cassie." Offered Elsa with a warm smile.

"Everything is alright...though Armani here may need medical attention." Here Elsa glanced at Armani with creased eyebrows. She was still worried about his physical condition.

"Still, we must join the others soon. I doubt the less forgiving ones will take well to my sudden disappearance. I have caused you a great deal of trouble by running off."

Science

Sky sought out Urza when he had regrouped with the others, including Bolin.

"Urza. You seem to be okay. Have a minute of your time?"

Magic

Sasuke had successfully regrouped with the others as they met up with Tenzin at the palace.

"Sorry for being a bit late. Got separated and got nearly frozen." The Kakuranger informed his teammates. "Has everyone been accounted for?"

Armani chuckled and turned his head, shaking a hand slightly. "No no, we HAVE stars; we both seem to come from an Earth after all, so our forests probably aren't different either. You just can't see them this well in my time, due to various things. Pollution of the atmosphere, world-wide lighting..." He frowned. "Did I tell you about that kind of thing?" So many random afternoon musings, he wasn't sure what he had and had not said to her by this point

Armani frowned when she started panicking and hastily added, "They're fine, they can fly and teleport remember?" About that time he noticed her flying off in the sky nearby.

She was quite a fast flyer to boot as it turned out; he barely had time to start to point her out before she just a couple hundred feet away

And if it was scary to be stuck and freezing in a blizzard, even that isn't quite as frightening as is a sight of an excited flying brick headed towards your very crippled body and doesn't seem to be slowing down

Fortunately for him, he underestimated her breaking abilities. In his current state, he only managed to jerk up in what was supposed to be a reflexive dodge but instead turned into him keeling over from the sudden roar of his abdomen

"Wonderful to see you again as well" he said with a groan and a half-wince half grin. "Next time, tie us together with that lasso"

He glanced down at his new get up. "Well, it's not exactly camo or anything and makes me feel a little like I'm in a disney production...but I'd rather be a fairy tale hunter than a camouflaged corpse."

He wasn't sure where Fletcher had gone. Who knows where the daft man had teleported off to. He was probably someplace warm by now if he wasn't here. Armani rolled his eyes at the thought.

He gave a small yelp and gingerly turned his shoulder away after she punched it and fire may as well as erupted along the limb's already frost-scorched surface. "Easy on the frostbite, please", he hissed, followed by giving her a somewhat incredulous look. "Don't scare you? This is coming from the woman who refused to even take her unneeded top off for me!" Despite the sudden irritation caused by the shoulder punch, he didn't exactly sound too upset. After a second he let out a breath that obviously covered up a chuckle. "Oh well, I lived." He looked a little sheepish. "Sorry I made you worry. I should have made sure you two were sticking close" He gave her a examination, satisfied that she seemed unharmed. "I wasn't worried, but for record's sake I'm glad you're all right...", his voice turned teasing, "Must be nice in that coat."

Armani finally allowed himself to roll up a sleeve and investigate his flesh as Cassie checked on Elsa; it felt a lot worse than it actually looked, though he couldn't decide if that was a good thing. He hadn't actually been in the cold all that long though it was so low in temperature that it had been enough to nearly freeze him; he had a few patches of frostbite but otherwise most of his skin just looked extremely red.

"I'll be fine" he called behind him before anyone could start worrying over him more; he'd caused enough fretfull emotions in the past 20 minutes. "Just need a few more minutes before I can take any more of my panaceas." He gingerly began to move the rest of his body; he tried to slowly stand but a wave of dizziness brought him back to a sitting position with a thud and he swayed for a few seconds. "Ugh, maybe a quick visit to Jude might be helpful, just to be sure." He rubbed his aching head. "Ugh...well, Elsa's right in that we should probably be getting back to the main quest here. Can you carry Elsa back then come back for me, Cassie?" He then realized something and groaned again. "The wind is going to be extremely cold on the way back isn't it"

Rayman arrived a few moments before Sasuke arrived. "Sorry I'm a bit late. I decided to grab a snack and enjoy myself a little" he said, before taking a bite of his comically large cotten candy. "If you're at a carnival and you don't, then you're doing something wrong."

Team Magic - Somewhere Southier than the South Pole. Somehow.

"Only Knights go on quests, Armani. And despite looking like a mini Ned Stark who's been covered in bleach, I'm pretty sure you're not a knight."
Fletcher just stood, warming himself up by rubbing his arms. How long he had been standing there wasn't all too apparent.

Team Science

"Eliminate them?"

Gavrill spoke in a low voice so their guides wouldn't hear. She met Icarax's gaze evenly, her cruel eyes glittering like rubies.

"Don't get my hopes up, ugly. If you kill someone from the teams they'll just come back later. But that's hardly a reason not to try, wouldn't you say?"
