Below the mineshaft roads, it will all unfold;
Who: See tags
When: 08-30; 5PM and onward
Where: The mysterious (not)abandoned mines outside of town
What: Kanti has finally called everyone together to
Warning: Content warnings will be tagged as the threads progress. Prepare for possible violence at the least.
After much planning, the trip to the mine is finally coming to fruition. Granted, this fruit could be ripe and juicy mangoes or disappointing red grapes with the seeds still in, but the point is that it is coming to a head. The supplies have been purchased and packed. The lunches have been made and also packed.
Early Friday morning, a post goes up on the network that is filtered to the known volunteers with directions and the words:
Today. 5PM.
What does this all boil down to?
Aww yeah motherfuckin' mines!
((OOC: The details of what to expect in the mines have been posted in the Gdoc so check that out before you post. The info is a bit too long to be posted here. People not involved in exploring the mines can feel free to tag in the Pre-Trip Preparations thread if it's suitable.
Sorry for posting it this early, but I work late tomorrow and I don't want anyone to have to wait up for me.))

sure is vermedi o'clock up in here 8OOO
Though to be honest, Octavia isn't completely convinced they're lost at all. If she tries really hard to tune out that far-off buzzing noise, she's pretty sure she can hear scuffly footsteps now and then. Which obviously belong to people - why would she think any different? ]
I think -- That way?
[ She raises a hand to aim her ducklight down a nearby tunnel, her other hand firmly clasped around Alan's. Because cuties, not because scared. Duh. See, there's something shadowy moving down there! Obviously they are about to meet up with the group again. They're about to become so safe. So. Fucking. Safe. ]
no subject
Though maybe not as important as sticking close to the group. Alan's always had a terrible sense of direction, and the weird buzzing isn't helping much either.]
If you're sure.
[He takes a few cautious steps into the tunnel, lighting his own flashlight there as well.]
Uh, hi? Guys?
[It's not the guys. None of the guys are weird hairy things with creepy claws.]
no subject
Oh shit.
[ OH SHIT.
To her credit, Octavia doesn't instantly panic! She tugs at Alan's shirt to get his attention, then nods at the thing while pointing at her head. She's not going to be useless this time! GONNA MIND CONTROL THAT FUCKER. GONNA MIND CONTROL THE SHIT OUT OF IT. ]
[ Except after a few seconds of hrrrngh-ing to no effect, it's pretty obvious something's wrong. Octavia's hands drop from her temples with a horrified little squeak. ]
It doesn't work--!
[ That came out a little louder than intended. As in loud-enough-to-alert-gross-hairy-clawed-things. ]
no subject
This is exactly what he'd been worrying about before coming down here. He already knows what's going to happen, the thing's going to attack and he'll have to kill it and he'll feel like a monster again.]
We should- we should run.
[Unfortunately, the creature's already noticed them and lunging forward, claws at the ready.]
Oh, fuck-
no subject
[ Octavia has nothing to fight with. Her stupid bullshit dumby-dumb stupid sack of crap mind powers don't work. She has no weapons. Even on the edge of panic, she makes a mental note to shriek at Blues and/or Kanti later and tell them that she really could have used a fucking gun down here.
Because they're going to get out. No way are they dying in this stupid shithole to one lone freaky-ass freakmonster. Wow.
She takes the only option available to her: skittering a few steps back out of the way and throwing her ducklight at the creature. It bounces off its head harmlessly with a hollow bonk. It doesn't even seem the thing noticed.
Time for plan B: SCREAMING. ]
no subject
The ducklight may not have hurt the thing, but Alan's flashlight is a bit heavier and sturdier. It's not much of a weapon, but it's something.
Alan might not look like much of a threat, yelling as he charges at a monster with a lump of plastic, but he makes up for it with sheer rage.]
no subject
It all comes rushing back as he charges at the monster. Aww shit. ]
Alan! Stop it! Run, you stupid fuck!
[ She has no fucking idea what to do. Alan's going to get fucking mauled. ]
Somebody help!
no subject
[He strikes, and the thing dodges easily. It's fast, a lot faster than he'd expected. Faster than him, to be sure.
It reaches for him, seeking to grab rather than scratch, but he barely avoids it and gets raked by the claws - or are those needles? - for his trouble.]
Dammit, just fucking die-!
no subject
Alan---! [ Alan was in trouble, which made Ryan all the more desperate. It's his job to help people, to save lives, but Eren is more than that, he knows he has to protect him because they're comrades above all, and Reiner is a soldier, he can't let his comrades die.
It's not a good idea to just run in and just punch the creature away from them, but that's what he does. He might not be invincible like this, but the force of his punch resounds with a crack of bones and blood and it knocks the monster back far enough away to give them some breathing time. ]
You alright?!
[ Ryan looks down at his hand and wow, that actually hurts a lot, but there's more steam than blood coming off of it. Ryan's not gonna question it. Shit, this is a bad idea. He should've at least brought an ax. ]
no subject
[The heavy footfalls that follow behind Ryan are none other than Mac, who's already got that hefty sledgehammer out. If this were less dramatic, there would probably be a point in Mac's favor for being the only one of the four to bring an actual weapon. But seeing Ryan standing there with steam pouring off his hand, a frenzied Alan, and a panicked Tavia makes the last word practically die in his throat-]
trouble.
[Parts of his brain kicked in. The parts that knew how to break down that door back at the warehouse, the parts that were cradling a sledgehammer, and facing down a small, black, humanoid creature, as the part of his brain that was freaking the hell out at all of this took a backseat, charging and lifting the hammer up. One solid overhead blow. That's all that was needed. He grit his teeth, weaving through the rest as he made a beeline for the creature. Though he thought maybe a second too late to stop his charge that a warning might be appropriate.]
MOVE!
no subject
Octavia hops out of the way, stumbling and hitting her back against the tunnel wall as she does so. With her eyes squeezed tight shut, she doesn't notice the puff of glitter that poofs up out of her shirt collar on impact. ]
Kill it kill it kill it!
[ ~*Helpful advice brought to you by Octavia Serket 2013*~ ]
no subject
Seeing the steam coming from Ryan's hand briefly snaps him out of it, though. It's a
grimreminder of his recent fears, enough to make him back away. Which is a good thing, since it makes it easier for him to get out of Mac's way.It might be dark enough in the mine that no one but Alan can see the faint wisps of steam coming from the scratches on him. He hopes it is.]
no subject
ErenAlan and the monster. ]Go, Mac! I'll cover you if it tries to bolt!
no subject
[The Vermedi doesn't really take the additions to the party very kindly, scrambling to strike at Mac. It's quick, but Mac is surprisingly nimble with the sledgehammer, taking wide swings to keep it away from the trio. It jumps at him, probably to try and rake him. He swings the hammer-
He's up on the roof, holding a strange blue apple in his hand. There's a faint heat in the air that's growing worse and worse-
He's underground, the hammer is slamming into the side of Vermedi, a sickeningly meaty sound as it makes contact at full speed-
The heat's getting stronger, a ball of stone and fire hurtling through the sky. He needed to take a bite and quick-
The Vermedi slams against the wall of the tunnel, practically bouncing off from the force it was launched-
Why couldn't he move, he just had to take a bite of the apple, but he's so paralyzed with fear, the heat was already roasting him alive, he could practically count down how long he had left. He put the apple to his mouth. Five... four... three-
The Vermedi isn't moving, and Mac's mind seems to piece itself back together. The part freaking out seems to regain the reins - which is now freaking out even more about the memory. What in the hell-]
Is everyone okay!? [He turns around, sledgehammer hanging ominously by his side. It's probably a little more panicked then Mac will ever admit to. There's a small tremble to his limbs that might be noticed by a keen eye. Was he...
He was scared, wasn't he. That was new.]
no subject
[ She finally manages to sound more bossy than scared. A++ recovery. She'll remember to thank you later, guys, I swear.
For now she's just going to retrieve her ducklight. And fuss at Alan. And ignore the fact that something feels really very wrong indeed with her back. ]
no subject
Alan walks over to the thing and inspects it warily. It's not moving and looks pretty thoroughly smashed, but it's better not to take any risks.
Which is why he looks around with his flashlight for a nice heavy rock and uses that to calmly bash the thing's skull open.]
Yeah, it's dead. We should get out of here before more of them show up, though.
no subject
Good plan. Let's head this way and get back to the group.
[ Ryan leads the way back, but not before giving Alan and Octavia his sternest tone possible (which comes off as more worried than angry.) ]
You two shouldn't have wandered off in the first place. You could've been seriously hurt.
no subject
Nevertheless, he brings up the rear of the separated group.]
We're kind of lucky we heard you, with that weird noise going on. Good thing Taffy's got a set of pipes on her. [He gives a bit of a chuckle. But one that seems a little forced.]
But everyone's seriously okay, right? No serious injuries? I saw Ryan give that thing a good sock, nothing's broken on anyone, right?
[FUSSY FUSSY FUSSY]
no subject
[ Hahaha, grumping and fussing about dumb shit totally helps distract from how awful that was! Right?
Am I right?
Amirite gaiz???????? ]
no subject
[Alan's sounding kind of distant because it is now starting to dawn on him what just happened. Oh fuck, he's supposed to be trying to not act like Past Him! This was just a total failure on all counts. Not to mention that if Ryan and Mac hadn't been there...
The scene plays through in his mind again - the creature's claws coming straight at him, Octavia screaming, and then Ryan charging in to protect them- Something about that is familiar.
(Reiner, protect us-)
He freezes midstep, staring at Ryan's back. Welp. It's not entirely news, not that part at least. He starts walking again, remaining quiet.]
