mayfield_rpg | event: portal four

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.

[This is maybe the first time in his life that he's ever wished for the other guy.]

[(Maybe second, but the invasion shouldn't count because there was nothing stopping him then.)]

[But there's no point dwelling on that, so he pulls his shirt up to cover his mouth and nose, and isn't really wasting time talking-- it's time to try and help people down.]

[He waves at Steve just to acknowledge what he said, assuming (probably rightly) that they were both going to stick it out until the very last possible second.]

[ Steve's tied his jacket around his neck and he looks like he's about to rob a bank. He doesn't think he'll be much help carrying anyone to safety, so he's just keeping mental note of who's already left and who might still be out there. ]

Are you keeping count?

[ He wants to compare numbers, because it's high time they got out of there and everyone's gonna need a doctor, he's thinking. ]

It's... hard to tell. We're going to have to get moving soon.

[which, of course, doesn't make it any easier, but]

I know.

Happen to see any pterodactyls? They're friendly, don't worry.

Nah, that'd be too convenient.

[ He looks over towards Bruce, and smiles a bit, looks back towards the mountains ]

He's actually a pretty nice kid. Makes a good llama.

Do you know what happens if we don't make it back in time?

...Right.

The portal's only open for a day, right? I don't really want to find out.

How long do we have until twenty four hours is up?

It can't have been that long. I'm more concerned with not being able to get back to it.

[because of, you know, death]

[they should probably move...]

...Let's go stand by it.

[ Y e p that lava.... ]

[He does a mock flourish in the direction of AWAY FROM THE FUCKING LAVA]

[after you!!! except he's not really waiting come on let's go]

[ Yep, he's running, whoops this is not a good scenario for an asthmatic. Herp, let's go. ]

[helps asthmatic friend...!]

Try and keep your arms above your head, open your airways.

I'll will it away.

[ No joke, he actually says he willed it away in the comics. Thanks Steve, great advice for asthmatics everywhere. ]
