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.

"If we get some good movies here I'll find one for you." Kaito promises. "But that's the fun of a heist! The complication. It's the challenge, see? Any robber can walk into a bank and hold it up. That takes no skill at all. But if you can hack the computer, or wriggle past the lasers, or whatever obstacles the authorities set, that takes skill. Otherwise, it'd be over in like. fifteen minutes, and that's no fun at all. Unless you're doing a chase movie instead, in which case most of the movie is not the robbery but the chase."

It makes the job fun too, not that he's going to say that.
