[alderwood]

Characters: Team 13 (Raimei Shimizu, Amelia, Korra, Ariadne, Iskierka), Team 14 (Leo Valdez, Bucky Barnes 616, Randolph Lyall, Steve Rogers 616, Charles Xavier), Team 15 (Max Lord, Amon, Nico di Angelo, Inara Serra, Jason Todd)
Date: June 25th - July 13th
Location: Keeliai (various locations)
Situation: Evandau put out the call for help against the great and powerful Oz. Malicant. Ozicant. There are the next three teams to be assembled
Warnings/Rating:
Please include content warnings in subject headers.

The police force has a series of leads they need the Foreigners to follow-up on that may (or may not) relate to the entity known as Malicant. Teams 13, 14, and 15 are mobilised now. See the threads in this post for details and contact Alex (reignsdown or the mod account) if you have any questions.

Note: A variety of the options indicate that players can create kedan to fill plot needs in terms of questioning and what have you. These kedan are plot-specific and would not count in the rule-of-tens for NPCs (unless they were referred to after the event; but that is future and this is now).

works for me, and i'm ...gonna take this since no one else was addressed, if that's cool?

[kazilik]

Oh yes, there are some shacks directly in the center, and some rows of rocks a bit further on. I did not land, of course, but I think there are kedan nearby. You may have to go in the shacks, I do not think I will fit in them very easily at all.

If you wish to do so now, I will stay here and guard our supplies. [Or, more likely, make a large wall around their tent and the cart and all that, if she can. She is, however, preening at Raimei's interest. She knows very well she's an impressive sight.]

[willofjustice]

[Amelia was a bit more used to dragons -- though not by much. The last one who had traveled with her had stayed in human form most of the time, and the mere idea of her staying to curl around the camp would have been unthinkable.]

[But no time to dwell on that: ACTION was at hand! Immediately the girl dropped what she was doing, springing to her feet, one finger jabbing towards the quarry.]

Okay! Yes! Let's catch some villains red-handed!

[. . . Never mind that Hei To hadn't actually said that there were kedan (or anything else) exploiting the turtle shell. There was a possibility, and for the moment, that was the most important. This was the closest she'd gotten to actually being able to help Tu Vishan, and she was going to take every advantage of it. Raimei's reverse of her earlier decision was a relief.]

[ ariadne's attention was on her sketchbook, quietly sketching the layout of their surroundings, when Iskierka speaks, causing her to look up and look clearly interested in the findings. ]

Did you see if they were armed? [ she asked as she tossed her sketchbook aside and turned towards Iskierka, her brow furrowing in slight thought. even if the Kedan are possible projections, it didn't exactly mean that she wanted to run in and get herself hurt without preparing (she only had so many bullets after all). ]

[alphatar]

And you can see in the dark? [Korra’s voice was impressed and approving, she gave Iskierka a strong smile. The fire breathing had been more than enough for Korra to fawn over.] Yeah, I think you should guard everything until we come back.

[Ariadne's question left Korra with a raised eyebrow. That kind of thing never stopped her before. Both Raimei and Amelia had said exactly what Korra wanted to hear and she slammed her fist into her hand.]

Then let's go disarm them and take them down.

[Barreling through was Korra’s preferred method, and breaking through a door into one of the shacks was hardly a problem. Bending or no.]

[anomia]

Great! No one will mess with our stuff while you're here. [Raimei's not usually so complimentary, but hey, it's a huge dragon. Don't they like to horde things? Who'd mess with that?

Her own impulse to barrel into things is tempered by a long history of being raised in a world ruled by deception and sneakiness. She wants to go right now, and she's completely undaunted by them possibly being armed, but she's focused on the mission first and foremost.

Raimei unwraps her sheathed sword from its cloth carrying sling and holds it loose in one hand, determined and ready to go.] We need to approach cautiously, [she declares.] We have to assume they're armed and know we're coming, just to be safe.

Kedan aren't easy opponents. We need to see what's in one of those shacks, but let's try to keep the element of surprise for now! We have to investigate.

[kazilik]

Certainly they shall not. [She's making her way over to the tents and all their supplies, carefully curling around them and trying not to squish anything. She is not precisely happy about being left out of the action for now, but someone should stay, and as she said, she cannot fit in the sheds at all.]

Give them a good beating for me, if you encounter them. [And to Ariadne:] I could not see that closely, it is very close to dark. But if you need me, I will come.

[build]

I appreciate that, Iskierka. [ She says in return, offering the dragon a faint smile, before turning her attention back on her bag and pulling out her Beretta to casually (well, as casually as a girl that doesn't handle guns often could be) slide it in the back of her pants. ]

I admit. I'm not exactly the most skilled fighter here. [ she mutters somewhat apolitically as she frowns at her thoughts - she is suppose to be a college student, not fighter. And even with some of the training she had been receiving as of late, having to use any of those skills was always going to cause some concern for her – she didn't want anyone hurt because of her mistakes or lack of experience after all. ] So if we could try to avoid as much violence as possible, that would be great.

[ though she knows its not really likely to happen – the Kedan weren't exactly the nicest of people when it came to outsiders. ]

I suppose I'm ready when you all are though. [ she finished with a sigh, turning her attention in the directions of shacks, her brow furrowing as she mentally prepared herself for whatever might come. ]

[willofjustice]

[Amelia is more the charge-right-in type herself, but again, no powers have tempered her into at least some caution.]

Was there any cover near the shacks? We could at least use that for a bit. But if there isn't anything, it's going to be hard just being out in the open like that . . . There's not really any way they could not know we were coming, especially if there's anyone already inside.

So maybe the best chance is getting as close to the buildings as soon as possible? That way there is some cover if we need it.

[She did see Ariadne's gun, and while she's a little wide-eyed over it (only just even having learned what they were in her own canon), she'll privately be glad the other girl has it.]

[alphatar]

[A groan accompanies an eyeroll from Korra when she hears the word 'cautiously' since the element of surprise wasn't one she was too comfortable with. But with Ariadne's admission, Korra had little to argue with.]

This isn't my kind of thing. I'm more for kicking the door down and punching some faces than sneaking around, so I'll bring up the rear and watch our backs.

[If she was going to lead, it was going to be more of a charge than some tiptoeing.]

[anomia]

We'll send someone in to investigate, and the rest can stay behind in the cover! [she declares. Not that Raimei is all that prone to leading anyone, but she's decisive and hates standing around.

She also has absolutely no reaction to the presence of a gun. It's only sensible to be armed, right? It'd be crazy to come out here without a way to defend yourself.]

Don't worry, Korra, [she says cheerfully, setting off to start walking without another word, since they're all decided,] If there's someone to fight, I'll let you get first whack at them.

[She gives a parting wave to Iskierka.] Bye! [She intentionally leaves off her name so as not to admit that she can't remember it that well...]
