event: portal four | the mountain

[mayfield_mods]

The fourth portal, as might be expected, can be found atop the hill known as Makeout Point. The other side of the portal isn't altogether that much different from the side you're entering from, save for the thicker trees and somewhat darker lighting.

The other side of the portal is significantly colder than the Mayfield side; frost covers the ground, and although it's not quite freezing, you'll want to bundle up. A glance at the sky reveals what you might have been dreading: glitch holes, in varying size, litter the skyline. The sun is hidden behind a set of thick clouds, creating a melancholy atmosphere.

The landscape around you is relatively flat, and you can't see too far beyond the forest ahead of you. It isn't until you turn around, facing the portal that you entered from, that you see the rising slope of the ground. The mountain rises high, higher than you can see from its base. There's a rough, primitive path heading up its slope, and for now simply hiking will be sufficient. As you get further, however, simply walking won't be enough: you're going to have to climb...

Somewhere, closer than you might prefer, a single wolf howls, and is shortly joined by more.

Better get moving.

[Had he known, he would have brought a scarf. At least the school uniform is long-sleeved, so Minato's not freezing to death. He also came prepared with a crude sword by his side, his Evoker, some candy bars, and bandages.

He also still has 3x Snuff Souls, 1x Chewing Soul, and 1x Traesto from Christmas last year. Though he suspects the last one won't do him any good in this place.]

(Of course, the first thing that catches Dante's eyes is the sword Minato's carrying. Dante's a supporter of carrying around weapons (especially the big ones), so he's just gonna...casually walk right on over.)

You know how to use that thing, kid?

[Woah Aki when did you get here? And why did you ditch the sweater vest?]

Of course.

[It's only his main weapon type out of the, idk, 6 types he can wield.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(Who wouldn't ditch a sweater vest?)

Good. You just might have to use it up here. Might not, but it's better to have it and not need it.

[Touche.]

I have other ways of fighting too.

[Note: one gun-like thing by his side.]

[mayfield_mods]

This is suddenly happening!

(Guns are cool. They let you shoot things.)

That's cool. I like shooting things up, too. Whatever gets it done, right?
