Let it Snow: Orange Start

[voidtreckermods]

The moment Red team jumps the voice speaks again. “Orange team to doors. Void shift imminent. Ten, nine, eight, seven...” There is a lurch and the train seems to tumble. The windows flash with the void for a second before they are once again surrounded by snow.

The train steadies, the doors open, the train is in mid-air and one step away from the train doors there is an ice platform. Crossing is not too hard, though a bit daunting. They are very high up and the ice is inherently slippy.

The platform is not large enough for them all and so the only natural way is for them to begin entering the labyrinth to allow everyone off the train. The moment the last person leaves the train it blinks away and the moment everyone has entered the labyrinth there is a grinding sound and the ice behind them closes.

For good or ill they have entered. Their goal is clear, a strange machine suspended in the centre of the maze but getting there will be a challenge. Though it looks like they should be able to merely walk towards it walls of ice stand in their way. The only way to stop any of this is to get through the labyrinth.

Romeo is a very important friend to me!

[ Considering how much Romeo likes to tell others how she's an amazing person this isn't going to end without being embarrassed ]

I'm Elfnein.

[stealsyourheart]

[ He grins and offers her a small paper rose that he magically produces from... somewhere ]

Nice to meetcha, Elfnein-san! I'm Kaito.

[alchemists]

[ Where did the rose come from... was it a magic trick? ]

It's nice to meet you as well Kaito.

[stealsyourheart]

[ Indeed~ What kind of magician would he be if he didn't at least have that, after all~ ]

You gonna be okay out here?

[alchemists]

I should be ok? As long as the rest of the area isn't as slippery the risk of me falling again is quite low.

[stealsyourheart]

Okay. Why don't you stick close to Conan, yeah? I've got to navigate us through this thing, but I'll drop back to check on you, if you like?

[alchemists]

If you want I can try and mark the places people have been with some signs?

[ Elfnein starts writing in midair a few symbols that have a light glow to them. ]

People will be able to make note of where they are with this.

[stealsyourheart]

Whoa! Nice one. [ His eyes widen at the glow ]

That's a neat idea. I'm going to be marking the paths I take with this. [ He draws her the kaitou KID scribble ] And crossing em out if they're a dead end. You can mark the ones that seem to be heading the right way.

[alchemists]

That's also a really good idea! I don't have a good way to mark if it's a dead end.

[ Having two different marking and a guide at the start would make everyone's lives easier! ]

[stealsyourheart]

Hm, can you remove your mark? Or... better still, cross it over?

[alchemists]

They normally just fade over time, but I can cross it out and the difference in brightness will be noticeable.

[stealsyourheart]

"That'd work." He nods. "If we spread each other out, we'll cover more ground - just don't get TOO far ahead! No way of knowing what traps might be here."

[alchemists]

"I'll make sure to go slow so I can avoid any traps out! As long as you observe the area before going on it'll go smoothly"

[stealsyourheart]

"That's the spirit!" He grins at her. "Have you got a pocket or a small bag? Another good trick is to carry like. Small pebbles - you can toss em ahead of you to check for anything that might be motion sensitive - won't work so well for pressure sensors, but you could use a stick for that."
