The Swamp



No one likes swamps. Not unless you're used to the bugs, the humidity, the quicksand-like mud, the wildlife attempting to kill you at every turn. Yeah. Swamps suck.

Unfortunately for our duo, though...that is exactly where they landed. In the swamp. It's dark, wet, humid, muddy....the whole nine yards, and, unless either of our heroes are used to it, they will likely hate every minute of it. There seem to be small huts sprinkled about the terrain with small lights in the window, but they are mostly destroyed, so it would be a good idea to be wary, even of the huts that are still intact.

There is no way around the swamp from where Nicholas and Morgan have landed, from their vantage point, so the best thing for them to do is go through and use the felled trees as possible paths to more solid ground. Hopefully they pay attention to the odd ripples in the water. It'd be a shame if they just...fell in...wouldn't it?




Your GM is Coons. He will be RPing Mook(low level) Grimm without rolls to familiarize the team with working with a GM until your official battle. The combat system will not be implemented in these first two threads. Please begin by RPing out your landing strategy!

Have fun, and happy landing!

"True that." commented Nicholas, peering over at Morgan and raising an eyebrow. "Hey, hey. Don't give me that look. I tried to jump as carefully as possible. It's kind of hard to move around here, a'ight. I try my best." stated the red-head, putting up a hand before making his way toward the lights. It wasn't much, but it was all they could go off for now. Maybe it would bring them closer to the relics too.

And closer to the rest of their team...

"Do you think there are any Grimm around these parts?" he pondered, frowning a bit as he made his way to another log, closer to the lights.

Morgan stopped on the log he was making his way along. Had he actually just asked that? He stood there in complete silence and amazement for a moment before his voice finally kicked in again.

"Gee Nick, I dunno, maybe." His sarcasm was about as subtle as a brick in the face. "Of course there's going to be Grimm round here! They're practically everywhere!" Gods help him this was going to be a long trip.

"I guess you're right." commented the male, snickering softly before turning his head to look at Morgan, raising an eyebrow. "Come on, I'm just trying to keep the situation light. Not like we're in the middle of a swamp. A dirty swamp. Surrounded by Grimm. Let's think of it as a nice little adventure." he hummed, moving further and giving a small hissing noise as he looked to the next log finally getting out Pollux and turning it to whip mode.

"Did you know Grimm are attracted to negative thoughts? Best keep your thoughts bright, partner." he commented, flicking the whip to a branch that was hanging over, moving back a bit before jumping to the other log, balancing for a second before letting the whip loose when he was certain he had found his balance.

"Oh my thoughts will be bright, alright," Morgan muttered as he headed after Nick. They were mostly thoughts of Nicholas meeting the swamp water. And if push came to shove, well, he could shove.

Zeph collapsed back into a chigiriki and he loosed the chain as he had done earlier. He slung the chain at the same branch Nicholas had and used it to follow him over to the other log. He instinctively caught hold of Nick to make sure he didn't end up wet. Plus, if he was going in, he was going to take him with him.

"So, any idea how we get out of here to find these relics?"

Balance. BALANCE.

He took in a deep breath, wobbling for a second longer and giving the water below a wary stare, almost as if he were saying 'YOU'RE NOT GETTING ME THIS FAST BITCHES'. After that, he glanced back at Morgan and rose an eyebrow at the question.

"Like I said. Stable ground. I would suggest moving by tree. But not as reliable. The branch might crack. And we'd end up in the water anyway. So." he gestured toward the lights they were coming closer to. "Where there's smoke. There is fire. I'm sure that they put the relics somewhere there. As for how to get out of here? Log by log.."

Nick really wasn't one for short answers, was he? Morgan hoped he spoke less when he was fighting. The last thing he needed was his head being taken off while he was babbling. But who knew, he might make a good distraction.

"I don't think they'd put the relics in a place where we could just land next to them," said the Zorua. That would make things far too easy.

"You're totally right. But it gets us OFF the water. I think that's what we both want right now, right? Get off this water. I'd love to get off this water." he uttered, motioning toward the lights. "I don't like the water. It's dirty. It's ominous. It's too wet." he added, frowning a bit before moving over to one of the houses.

"We can pinpoint where to go from the point on, right?"

Oh my gods. Shut. UP. PLEASE. There was never going to be any silence from Nick now that they were partners, was there? Morgan groaned inwardly. It was going to be a long four years. The things he went through to give himself a place to sleep...

"Yeah, it'll be easier than doing it from these Mew-forsaken logs."

He glanced back once before aiming at a hanging branch, letting the whip curl around it before looking back at his new partner. "Hey... You think you won't lose balance if I swing over there to that house?" he questioned, giving a light nod to the log they were standing on, hesitating for a second before finally letting his lips curve up.

"I know it's going to be a handful, but I'm actually really glad we ended up as partners."

"I'll be fine," said Morgan. He would easily be able to follow Nick quickly before he lost his balance. He just hoped nothing came and found them before he made it over there. "Don't you worry about me."

Well, that was a surprise, someone who actually wanted to be around him. The surprise stayed off his face however, it was no doubt more comforting to be paired with someone you already knew. "You can get sentimental when we're on dry land."
