Having grown up on the streets, Morgan was no stranger to dirt. But that didn't mean he liked it. So the sight of the swamp up ahead made him pull a face. It didn't take him long to scan the area, picking up the various details and looking around for whatever could be of some assistance. There wasn't a lot. As he flew, he loosed the chain from Zephaniah's chigiriki form and slung it at the nearest branch. The chain wrapped around the branch and using his momentum he swung himself up into the next tree. Ok, landing successful, now to just get out of the swamp without getting dirty and hopefully without encountering anyone or anything. The swamp was too big enough to go around, and even if he could, it would take far too long, so he would have to use the felled trees as bridges. Gods he hoped there was enough to get him all the way across. He recalled Zeph's chain and hopped from the tree onto the nearest log. It was covered in moss and various swamp slime but so long as watched where he put his feet then he would be fine. The swamp water looked very uninviting, he really didn't want to end up swimming. Wait, did something move in there? |

Okay. So he knew it was called Launch day. And his mother had told him they literally would be blown into the woods. He had thought it to be just a stupid little tale. After all, who would blow people into the air, right? Okay, so their aura made sure they didn't hurt themselves. But still. They wouldn't. Right? Wrong. Taking in a deep breath, the Chevalier closed his eyes for a second before grasping his goggles and putting them before his eyes. He took a step back, rolled his shoulders once before positioning himself upon the piece of metal that would apparently shoot him off into the sky. Just what he always had wanted. His eyes surveyed the Winding Woods below, eyes narrowing for a second. Was it possible to decide where you wanted to land? And who did he want to be his partner...? Granted, there had been a lot of strong people he had found the day before... There was Jillian, though she appeared excited, she could totally pack a punch. There was Blanche. She was a bit shy, but he totally wouldn't mind becoming her partner. Goggles, after all. Oh, maybe Rachel too. Or perhaps Miles-- But he didn't think that would be a good plan. That would be disastrous, wouldn't it? Oh. But he had liked that girl. That girl with the messy hair. Drysi. She had been fun to be around too. Perhaps they could partner up. There was always the Zorua Faunus too... Morgan, right? He had seemed okay! Or perhaps-- Before he could think anymore on it, he felt a tremble underneath his feet, causing him to curse underneath his breath before his eyes widened as he was shot into the sky. For a moment, there was nothing but silence. But finally he cried out in glee, eyes glistening up. Touch the sky above, move. Anddd burn all the fuckers in sight! This was going to be awesome. This was going to be amazing. This was going to be absolutely positively -- Oh no. Ooooh no. No. This was not. No. Turn back around. Turn around. ABORT MISSION. ABORT MISSION. ABORT-- "Fuck!" A snarl and a quick movement made him grasp Pollux, pulling the trigger to cause the sword to unlink into a chain. His eyes focused on his surrounding, finally he twisted just a bit and let the chain shoot forward, wrapping around a branch, it cut into it sharply, stopped him.... Then snapped as he hit the log. He yanked the branch forward, cursed as it splashed into the dirty water and growled when he was met by said water. Taking in a deep breath, he slowly lifted his hand and gave the dripping water a scowl. "Really. A swamp? Out of all the things... A swamp." he grunted to himself, rubbing his sleeve over his face before yanking the chain back, balancing on the log he had landed onto. But out of all the things. Out of all the things he could land at. A swamp. "Curse my luck." he muttered before giving a small laugh to himself. "Better not be a stick in the mud, right.. Right? Oh for fuck's sake, shut up." he whispered to himself, carefully moving forward onto the log and turning his head when he heard movement. Was there someone else there? Raising an eyebrow, he remained silent for a second before letting his eyes fall down to the water. For some reason, it looked ominous... He did not want to fall in there... |

Morgan felt his ears twitch. There was something nearby. He took hold of Zeph again and rearranged it into it's rifle form. He'd be able to pick anything off that came towards him, although he would be more inclined to just run away if anything dangerous did approach. The objective was to get the relic, not pick fights. The noise got louder, and Morgan looked through Zeph's sight as he scanned the swamp. Something landed on a log not too far away. He squinted, lowering his rifle as he tried to figure out what it was. "Nicholas?" His own words took the moment to ring in his ears. "I feel sorry for them already." "Damn." |

Nicholas blinked a few times before turning his head and raising an eyebrow at the sight of the Faunus closeby him. Out of all the people... This was a great thing. Somebody he had talked to before. He could deal with this person. Then again... I feel sorry for them already. Oh this year was going to be fun. Much fun, indeed. Morgan would love it. One way or another. "Morgieeee. What a pleasant surprise. You see, I was just thinking about you. So. Guess you're stuck with me, huh? Trust me. It could have been way worse. Waaay worse." he stated, carefully moving over the log before glancing around. "I don't need to tell you to leave the water alone, right?" |

Well, at least it was someone he knew. Although, Morgan realised the trip was going to be a lot less quiet now he had Nick tagging along. He just hoped he was as efficient as he was talkative. He had a point though, it could be worse. "If I'd have wanted in, I'd be in," he said. "To be honest I don't think I could wish that on my enemies." |

A smirk was shot to the person that would become his partner for the coming four years, eyes glistening up before finally he calculated the width of his log and that of Morgan's, pondering to himself before finally jumping forward onto the other's log. Granted, he had to clutch to the other for a second so the both of them found their balance. But once that was done. "Alright. Ready to go find that relic then, partner?" he questioned, a mischievous grin curling around his lips. "Because I know I sure am." he stated, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder. "Let's find a more stable ground to stand on first." |

Morgan grabbed hold of Nick as he jumped onto the log. He wasn't usually one for letting his emotions show but the look he gave the other was definitely a 'don't you dare do that again or I'll kill you' look. "Well I don't plan on staying on this log forever," he said. "I really don't wanna catch the attention of whatever's in there." Admittedly, the Zorua wasn't sure if there actually was anything in there, but he didn't want to stick around to find out. |

"How about we follow the lights?" he stated in a sarcastic kind of tone, raising an eyebrow with a cheeky smirk before glancing to the side at the lights that shimmered through the dark. "It's not the best idea. But if we have some luck. The lights stand on stable ground... And I'd rather not fall in here. I'd really rather not." he muttered, carefully making his way forward before jumping to another log, catching his balance. "How about it, Morgan?" he questioned, looking back with a frown. |

Zephanhiah was folded back into a staff so Morgan could use him for balance. If Nick was going to keep jumping off these logs he was going to need something to stop him falling off. Or something to push Nick in. Because if he did keep doing that he was going to find himself wet. "It's better than nothing," he admitted. There was some logic in it though, the huts had to have been built on stable ground, so it was better than having to wobble around on logs. |
