AHEM ACTUALLY ROLLING NOW.

CaveCricket48 (Raphael) [1-2=1]:
You stand up to get at Jamal's ears, and promptly plummet to the side, face first into the rather shallow snow.
"...WHAT?"
Yep he's still deaf.
"SPEAK UP I CAN'T HEAR YOU."
This is going to get old really fast.
"HEY ARE YOU OK? ARE YOU DEAF TOO?"
"No, I fixed my ears mostly."
"WHAT?"
...God dammit.

Character:

Ociamarru (Vadim Ivanov) [1 WOW.]:
"Hm... Wait - discretion is the better part of valor. How can you prove to us that you aren't going to engage in hostilities if we free you?"
"Because I'm not a ♥♥♥♥ cowboy who goes around shooting people all willy-nilly! Just get this damned thing off me already!"
"How the hell did you manage to get an elk on top of you?"
"It charged me and I-uh, I shot it, then momentum had to be a ♥♥♥♥ and now here I am with one elk greater than the optimal number of elks to have on top of one's self."
"Well I don't think it's crushing your ribcage since you can talk."
Maybe you should start making choking and gasping noises? Wait, no, the angel-lady is pushing the Elk off you!
It'll be off any minute, and then you can go continue your mission!
Yep!
Aaaaaany minute.
"Ok I can't move this thing."
"OH GOD DAMMIT"
"Jeez Maria, move over."
Suddenly you hear a muffled *whumpf* of a boot impacting a large dead animal, and the elk simply flops off the side of you.
"Come on now, that wasn't even hard. You two need to get it together."

Character:

Emogotsaone (Jamal) [6]:
Before you can help him up, Raphael gets back to his feet, then falls down back into the snow like a felled tree. You resist the urge to yell TIMBEEERRR, mostly because you'd be several seconds late. Wait, did he say something?
"...WHAT? SPEAK UP I CAN'T HEAR YOU."
Man what the hell happened to knock your ears out like that anyway?
"HEY ARE YOU OK? ARE YOU DEAF TOO?"
You see Raphael's mouth move.
"WHAT?"
And he just hit his face with his palm.
You hope he hasn't suffered any brain damage.

Character:


Izen (Theron) [7]:
You're not sure why, but something draws you to a small ring lying on Dane's lap, covered in blood from the pole piercing him. You pick the ring up and wipe it off with a clean section of Dane's pantleg, then gingerly liberate his monster of a pistol and the ammo for it.
Good lord you could kill an elephant with this gun...
You absentmindedly slip the ring on your right ring finger, then get up and look around the tent a bit. Well, some cans, a crate or two, both useless. The electronic equipment is all frozen up and doesn't respond to any prods from your Technokinesis. Seeing nothing else, you look through the papers. There are a couple of sheets with long lists of dates, times, and mostly woodland animals. Things like "Rabbit" or "Wolf pack". But there's also an instance of "Hiker" later on.
Not sure what this really is. You set it down and keep looking through the papers. A couple references to "main camp" on one paper, but other than that nothing. No coordinates or maps or anything USEFUL.
You head up and out of the shelter, and look around. The snow is starting to come down more fiercely, where should you go "explore"?

Character:

CrazyMLC (Maria Crazer) [1]:
"Hm... Wait - discretion is the better part of valor. How can you prove to us that you aren't going to engage in hostilities if we free you?"
"Because I'm not a ♥♥♥♥ cowboy who goes around shooting people all willy-nilly! Just get this damned thing off me already!"
"How the hell did you manage to get an elk on top of you?"
"It charged me and I-uh, I shot it, then momentum had to be a ♥♥♥♥ and now here I am with one elk greater than the optimal number of elks to have on top of one's self."
"Well I don't think it's crushing your ribcage since you can talk."
You move over to the downed man and start pushing at the elk, and with the both of you pushing, you manage to get absolutely nowhere at all.
"Ok I can't move this thing."
"OH GOD DAMMIT"
"Jeez Maria, move over."
You move over, and your partner walks over and knocks the elk off with a single kick.
"Come on now, that wasn't even hard. You two need to get it together."
There are no words.
No words at all for what you feel.

Game Events:
"There, he's free. Let's go Maria."

Raphael and Jamal are at "E,6".
Theron is in "B,8".
Maria, Vadim, and Maria's Partner are at "F,1".


YO JJ I NEED A CHAR, BRO.

"Right, well then...thanks for the help, I'll be on my way."
Head toward B8, holding my F2000 at the ready.
"Going to go hunt some more, ah, wolves."

I am spectacularly unlucky...

I honestly don't know what happened, I really do think the dice-roller hates you.
Thankfully, JJ got a 10.
By the way, JJ, post or PM me a char.

JJA79, I need a character sheet from you.
Emogotsaone, action.

CaveCricket48 (Raphael) [1-1=1]:
Mmm... No, no, you'll just sit here for now. Jamal can be deaf for a bit, maybe it'll learn him some diversity or something.
Probably not. But you can hope.
"WE SHOULD PROBABLY FIND WHATEVER MADE THAT LOUD BOOM! IT COULD BE DANGEROUS!"
Hope.
"RAPH DID YOU SEE WHERE WHATEVER MADE THAT WENT?"
HOPE.

Character:

Ociamarru (Vadim Ivanov) [6 GODDAMN FINALLY]:
After getting back to your feet and quickly stretching your cramped muscles, you grab your FN2000 and look around a bit. Your Mind Meld is giving you a direction to follow for your partner, so you decide to head that way rather than continue your ill-advised solo scouting trip.
"Right, well then...thanks for the help, I'll be on my way. Going to go hunt some more, ah, wolves."
"Wait, why are you out here being smothered by elk?"
You cringe as she asks the obvious question.
"Oh, nothing...not like I chose for that to happen."
"That doesn't answer my- What the hell is that?!"
Huh? What's what?
Oh. Your gun. Your military grade hardware gun. And all the other military gear you're carrying.
...
It's okay, they're just two relatively unknown civilians, in the middle of the Russian arctic, where it's easy to get mauled by, oh, say, a wolf and go missi-
I don't know what you're planning but it sounds like murder, stop it right now.
GODDAMN MIND MELD.

Character:

Emogotsaone (Jamal) [5]:
You wait for Raphael to hurry up and heal your ears like he did his, and while you do, dance like a pony and think out loud.
"WE SHOULD PROBABLY FIND WHATEVER MADE THAT LOUD BOOM! IT COULD BE DANGEROUS!"
You see him grab his forehead, probably deep in thought.
"RAPH DID YOU SEE WHERE WHATEVER MADE THAT WENT?"
He's using both hands now! He must be thinking hard. You'll leave him be for the moment.

Character:


Izen (Theron) [10]:
You trudge further south through the snow, hoping you find... something. You're not really sure what you're looking for, or even what TO look for. But this snow storm is getting worse, perhaps it'd be a good idea to get out of it...
Suddenly you notice Vadim is thinking bad things.
I don't know what you're planning but it sounds like murder, stop it right now.
You get a feeling of anger and frustration back.
Wait... What's that? There's something off to the south... You can't tell WHAT through all the snow, but it's darker than the snow on the ground and, well, that's actually all you can make out about it. You could go pursue it, but god DAMN this snow is getting harsh...

Character:

CrazyMLC (Maria Crazer) [4]:
You can't put it into words how much you'd like to storm off right now. You really just can't.
But you can't leave without your partner, sadly. And she is currently busy grilling this dude.

Character:


JJA79 (Rose Fors) [6]:
You may have helped this guy, but he shouldn't be here. Grilling time.
"Right, well then...thanks for the help, I'll be on my way. Going to go hunt some more, ah, wolves."
"Wait, why are you out here being smothered by elk?"
He halts from his walking away. Suspicious.
"Oh, nothing...not like I chose for that to happen."
"That doesn't answer my-"
You notice his gun. And his grenades. And pretty much all the seriously heavy-duty stuff he's carrying.
"What the hell is that?!"
He freezes in place entirely. This may be trouble.
