Communication Tower Shenanigans

[namisan]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: Not...yet. Working on that part??
Action: The Comms Tower
When: In the day or two after that zuper zecret broadcazt.

[A mingle for any and all people on the ground making their way toward the comms tower, and all science and tech wizardry that happens thereafter.  For any who can't follow coordinates on land, a light rain will spring up around the tower's general area after the first handful of hours has gone past, as per this broadcast here.]

Hold on. Let me do something before to make sure that we have enough time to do what we need to.

[Sure, they're running now, but that doesn't mean they'll stay gone and Snow's not dumb enough to think they will either.

Before they say anything else, he takes out a blue, tear-shaped crystal and tosses it into the air. A light shines through it and two mechanical-looking women in black and white and gold come out to form into a motorcycle. He wastes no time at hopping on and riding it around the tower.

As he goes around, ice builds up around the structure, higher and higher with every turn. Until it's almost too thick to see through. When he's sure it'll hold, he pulls the bike up in front of his companions and gives them both a cocky smile.]

Now, we can go.

what just happened.

No seriously, what the fuck. Ice is one thing (she can do that herself) but

UM]

[collegedropout]

... Dude, you gotta warn us before you do the weird shit.

[Stop startling us with your JPRG skills, we're simple folk.

.... Okay, we're not. But. Still.]

[heroofcocoon]

I did warn you.

[He said hold on. It's not his fault you're not creative enough to be like him. And just be glad it wasn't Fang and her goddamn dragon. That'd've been fun for them.]

Is she okay? She looks sort of confused. Did she hit her head?

[namisan]

[Well, if anything's gonna snap her out of it--]

I'm not the one who has a motorbike made of hot women. Neat trick. We good?

[Can we go now, because god 1000% done with this jungle. And weird JRPG tricks. (Like Nami can talk.)]

[collegedropout]

... I mean, I guess I've been a car before, so maybe I don't have room to talk...

[He's just mumbling to himself. Don't mind him.

... Did you guys say something?]

[heroofcocoon]

Hot...? They're more like spirits. At least that's what Hope and Dysley always said. They're not people.

[Snow, that's not the point.]

But I think if you've got enough energy to snap back like that, then you're good to walk up to the top of the tower on your own. Your friend doesn't look like he can make it carrying you.

[namisan]

[Great, Snow. You're irritating the fuck out of her and making her feel guilty at the same time.]

Unless your magic drink works just a little more, that might be hard. Hard to believe, but I'm capable of having a temper and a broken leg at the same time.

[Amazing, right? Nevertheless, she shifts like she's gonna get the hell off Sam's back, because thanks for making her feel like an ass.]

[collegedropout]

[Oh - well. Sam shakes his head, focusing again and not particularly moving to put Nami down.]

It's fine -- I'm fine. I can handle it.

Just lead the way, I will make it.

[He looks pretty sure of himself! That's half the battle right there.]

[heroofcocoon]

[Snow takes a look at the two of them and snorts. Sam is about to fall over from exhaustion. Nami can't even stand.]

Look, the ice isn't the only thing I can do. Put her down so I can really heal that leg. And when I'm done with her, I can help you too, tiger.

[Buddy, he's been pulling the dumb bullshit for over five hundred years. You can't fool him.]

[namisan]

[Oh look, the temper is gone as quickly as it arrived, because jfc she can be useful if she can just stand on her own two feet.

So yes. She doesn't bother replying so much as offering a quick hopeful (and exhausted) smile, patting Sam on the shoulder. Lemme down, dude, before you fall over.]

[collegedropout]

[Alright, alright. With a skeptical eye at Snow, he carefully lets her down.

And promptly collapses onto his ass nearby with a huff. Not tired, nope. Totally not.]

I'm fine, really. I just need to sit a second.

[heroofcocoon]

[Snow bites back on the snicker he wants to let out at the sudden 180, but she'd probably beat the shit out of him like any of the women he knows. And he'd like to avoid that right then.

His brand glows as he shifts into his Medic paradigm and powers up a Curaja that he drops on her head without warning. It'll feel like a cold shower through her body until the bones knit back into whole pieces. And when it's over, Nami should feel even more rejuvenated than before.

And then he tosses a Regen at Sam.]

Lying's pretty dumb when you look like shit.

[WHAT THE HELL'S WITH THIS COLD SHOWER SHIT IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE DITCHED ICE DIRECTLY ONTO HER NERVOUS SYSTEM WOW RUDE HEALING IS MEANT TO BE WARM--]

[namisan]

[Of course, she's got pretty limited experience there. She blinks in vague confusion for a few seconds after the cold scouring feeling stops. Takes a second or two for her to realise the pain is gone.

Snow, you're her new favourite person, she feels great. To the point of standing up, hopping briefly from one leg to the other to test it. Holy shit.]

You're a miracle worker.

[She doesn't say thank you, but the gratitude is definitely there in her face.]
