Let it Snow: Blue Start

[voidtreckermods]

The moment the doors open for purple to jump the train is speaking again. “Blue team to doors. Void shift imminent. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one” The train lurches and shudders as the windows flash the colour of the void for a split second before it shakes again and they are back in that frozen tundra.

The doors open and blue can jump down into a large snowdrift. They are at the foot of an impressive mountain range. Snow swirls around them, the wind hows. Ahead of them, half obscured by snow is a tunnel entrance.

Even getting there is exhausting, wading through the snow. Inside there is no snow but it is cold. The walls and floor shine with ice and the way is treacherous. It is pitch black.

Their task is to find those hiding in the tunnels. Some have formed makeshift camps in large caverns, others have fled into the small tunnels and have gotten themselves lost.

The voidtreckers are lucky to at least have a map on their SCA though it does not show where anybody else it. It is time to start the task of rounding everyone up and making sure they can survive the storm.

She's making sure to really hold onto his hand as much as she can while they're still going, but she does feel the cold wind starting to make her feel more and more ragged.. Madoka briefly closes her eyes to gather her strength, trusting that Romeo will keep guiding her the right way even if she doesn't look. Despite being slightly younger than her, he really is reliable.

By the time she opens her eyes again, she finds that they're already at the entrance of the tunnel.

She gasps. "We.. We made it!"

(Madoka is still not letting go of that hand though. Maybe since she was so focused on clinging onto it just now.)

Romeo will indeed keep guiding her, keeping his eyes open even as the wind hurts them and ice gathers on his eyelashes. It had never ever been this cold in heaven and even when they had gone down to Japan it hasn't been this cold either!

He smiled at her as they stepped into the tunnel. It was still cold but at least the wind was gone! He wrapped his arms around her, thinking she could do with a hug. To keep her warm and her spirits up.

"We did! Good job, Madoka!"

It's the hug that seems to snap her out of just standing there and staring at the tunnel entrance without doing much else. If not just since the sudden hug practically forces her body to move a little, shaking her brain slightly back to Earth.

"O.. Oh!" She blushes a little at suddenly being hugged. Or maybe it's just the extremely cold weather. But after a second she shrugs that off enough to be able to hug Romeo right back as well. "No, you're the one who did a good job..! I don't know if I would have made it here if you hadn't been there.."

[myblueskies]

"We did it together! Because we're a good team!" He grinned at her and retook her hand, leading her further into the tunnel.

"I'm going to check in case anyone else needs help! Will you be alright... It's very dark."

He doesn't want Madoka to be scared!

[happyends]

"It's okay! I'm not scared of the dark."

Mostly since Madoka has just seen a lot of worse things to be scared of. It gets kind of hard for the darkness to be scary when you've seen friends being beheaded.. It just loses its impact.

"But.. how about you though? Will you be okay too? It's very cold out there in the snow.." Not that it isn't cold here at the tunnel's entrance as well, but the snow from just now felt even worse. "Please don't get caught out there by yourself if you can't find anyone else."

[myblueskies]

"I'm not afraid either and I can jump back if I can't find anybody!"

It's cold, but he's wrapped up warm and he even has a hat with a pompom on it. He is sure everything will be alright!

"I'll see you soon, Madoka!"

[happyends]

She tells herself that she just has to trust in Romeo. He's always good at these missions, right? And he already has a sense of responsibility. So despite still feeling a little nervous, the girl nods.

"Okay.. s-see you soon! I'll be waiting for you..!" So that doubly means he has to make sure to come back alright soon enough.

[myblueskies]

He nodded looking super serious for a moment before he smiled once more. He wouldn't leave Madoka on her own for long, so that meant he would have to find everybody quickly.

He waved one last time and then jumped back out into the snow!
