Let it Snow: Purple Start

"We are now approaching world#58291. Purple team to doors." As the last flurry of activity occurs the voice speaks again. "Warning: Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." the usual jerk, shudder lurch as the colours from the window turn from the void to a white haze of snow.

The doors open for purple team to alight. It is a scramble down from the train, there is no platform here and the ground below them is a sheet of ice.

They seem to be in a town, ice below them, snow drifts piled high. They can see the mountains in the distance and high above the down there is what seems to be a giant ice block floating in the sky.

But for their more immediate attention there are snow creatures. Snowmen, oddly formed snow animals. Eight foot tall creatures made of ice. Some seem intent on throwing snowballs at cars and the buildings of the town but it is not long before the team are spotted and the creatures make their way to them.

This is their battleground. They may find things they can use as weapons in the town itself and their job is to ensure there is still a town when all of this is over. It’s going to be a hard and very cold few days.

( a: scavenging! )

[ Honestly, suddenly being dropped into the middle of the battlefield - or ending up in one out of the blue - isn't something entirely new for Inigo. It's why he regains his senses pretty quickly, especially when he sees all the weird snow monsters over there. Even before he spots a snowball flying around, he knows those can't be good news. He's never seen ice monsters before, but he's definitely getting Risen flashbacks over here.

So if any purple team member still looks a little dazed or confused, or even just haven't moved yet since they were dropped here, they might find Inigo tugging on their arm. ]


Come on, no time to wait! Let's hurry and see if there's anything in those houses to deal with these things!

( b: fighting! )

[ After doing some looking through the houses - and pretty quick looking too, considering they don't seem to have much time with how quickly the creatures were approaching them - Inigo has managed to grab.. a spade.

Okay, it's not exactly the sword or even axe he's used to, but whatever! He can improvise!

And to Inigo's credit, he really is throwing himself into battle here. Despite the fact that some of these creatures are huge and other ferocious, the young man doesn't seem scared at all as he twirls around the spade and slams enemies with it as if it weighs nothing.

At one point you may hear: ]


Behind you!

[ And as you turn around, you can probably see that creature sneaking up on your back - but Inigo smashes it out of the way just in time. He smiles at you despite the cold, tough circumstances. ]

Geez, it's almost as if these things don't know how to.. cool down, am I right? [ That joke would have been either better or worse if Inigo actually knew modern slang and could say 'chill'.. ]
