Meep Manhunt!
Who: Anyone who expressed interest in going after Meep and received a letter from Scurvey Dog.
Where: Anygrav Moon
When: August 9th-22nd
What: The mission begins! Dog asked for help rescuing Meep and it's you lot who've responded. Try to bring him back in one piece, eh?
Warnings: Possible violence...?
Style: Any!
Status: Closed to those involved!
The island is covered by a familiar mist that rolls across the ground. Fortunately for you, it's not going to bring nightmares to life this time, but it definitely lends to the general feeling of unease that fills the place. That isn't helped by the fact that though the population here was never very large, it certainly must be even smaller now.
It's the dead, lifeless husks along the beach that make that much obvious.
There's no sign of battle, and all the bodies appear unmarked. It's as though they suddenly dropped right where they were standing, as if something completely and abruptly drained them of energy.
Watch your step as you make your way inland. Wouldn't it be a shame if the same thing happened to you?
no subject
[After the thief receives a sloppy salute, Hiccup staggers. He then gives Toothless a hug. Aw.]
My buddy~
[Oh. Right. Helping Gan jump up on the Night Fury's back. HE CAN HELP. Hiccup pushes himself up onto his feet, barely keeping his own balance as he tries to push the captain up. Instead, he's pushing Gan into the poor dragon's side.]
Huh. Wonder why this isn't working. Oh well. HEY GAN, you're gonna have to hold on tight!
[It's go time!
...Except Hiccup puts his helmet on backward.]
Hey! Where'd everybody go!?
no subject
.....
[Gaius sighs as he looks at the two, slightly sorry for inflicting them upon the dragon, but if it'll keep them from possibly getting worse-
Oh yeah, that's a nice view there, Gan Ning. Just don't fart, okay?
The thief snorts in a bit of a laugh as he watches the two fumbling about.]
Hm. You might be onto something, Jingles. I mean, it seems ridiculous to try and search all of these keys just for one. But did the riddle mean our hearts specifically, or like...the heart of something else?
[He absently reaches over to twist Hiccup's helmet about the right way.]
Where's Sweets when you need her?
no subject
[mostly. but then he looks up at Hiccup and dissolves into subtle giggles at his helmet problems]
Better not be one've our hearts. We need those. Hey, hey, Gaius - hey. Your heart's in your chest, right? You should rip your shirt off and press your chest to the door.
Or wait wait wait...I already got no shirt! Lemme do it!
[sliding back off Toothless, however, is apparently not as easy as simply letting himself go boneless. He gets tangled in the harness.]
no subject
–Oh! I knew that!
He scrambles up into the saddle, sitting a little higher than he normally would...just as Gan slips off to try something genius.]
...Oh. My. Gan! That's it! Try that first!
And then if that doesn't work, try FARTing on the door!
no subject
....what.
[At this point he's not sure whether he should laugh or cry, but apparently Gan Ning is serious about this suggestion. It's just too bad he looks ridiculous being all tangled up there.
Gaius steps over to help get him loose, Toothless having decided the humans are being dumb enough that they aren't going anywhere very soon, so he settles down.]
...pff. There's a great idea, Twigs.
no subject
Once free, he reels back into Gaius's arms and gives himself a second to find his legs.]
What like you got any better ideas?
[okay so where's the door now? Everything is sort of haloed at the edges of his vision, particularly the torches and any light glinting off the keys. But Gan Ning does his best goddammit, and finds his way over to hug the door. That's right, c'mere door, let me love you. Arms spread, chest flat against the door.]
no subject
He pauses to breathe. Then he starts giggling more when Gan Ning presses himself up against the door.]
Yeah, you show that door who's boss!
no subject
[He watches Gan Ning stumble over towards where the door is and then smoosh himself against it. What is this even anymore...]
....
no subject
...no? No.
All right then, one solution tried and failed. Better try the other one. Gan Ning backs his ass right up to the door and then fixes Gaius with the dumbest grin ever]
Hey. Hey. Pull my finger.
no subject
[HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER hold on, he's tumbling off of Toothless right now
after dangling off of the dragon like a new collarHobbling over, Hiccup trips, rolling and getting back up in sheer excitement to pull this man's finger.
Which he does with Viking fervor.]
no subject
He runs a hand over his face as he tries to decide on how to best respond to that- but then finds Hiccup tripping over himself to go and do Gan Ning the honors.
Toothless just watches, somewhat curious and not quite understanding what they're all doing over there, save that his Viking is making more of a fool of himself than usual.]
no subject
[took a second but LET 'R RIP
He is so damn proud of himself, boys, you don't even know.]
no subject
Hiccup just about falls over, dying from laughter because he's five years old.]
no subject
A little push will get the door open and then back up quick as everything starts to fill with sand. After a few hours it's evident that there's enough of a wiggle space between the door and the sand to get into the next room.
There you can see the top of the pyramid, letting sunlight in and mountains and mountains of sand. If there is a door under there, it will take a lot of digging to get to it-- perhaps more then one small team can do.
But lining the walls as a sort of prize for the first arrivees are little necklaces with shimmering shards on them. They seem to be humming faintly and pulsing with a faint, pure glow. They are warm to the touch and though they don't seem to do anything immediately, they definitely work to dispel any mist that might crawl across the intrepid rescuers' path.
It's a pity they can't do anything about the smell though...]
no subject
Well. Whaddya know.
-whoa, watch out!
[That's a lot of sand spilling out, and even Toothless jumps to his feet at the sudden rush, moving to bound over to where Gan Ning and Hiccup are. Gaius grabs a hold of his harness in passing to hitch a quick ride.
At least it seems that they aren't going to be completely buried in, and Gaius can't help but take a peek through the doorway, whistling lowly.]
no subject
[he's too loopy to even think right now, but Gan Ning is totally giving Hiccup high-fives over that manly display of...whatever that was. Hey, it worked, didn't it?
It's going to take a while for the poison from the key to wear off but Ning is still up for adventure, swimming his way through the sand to get a look at what's next]
The hell. There's like. Sparklies. It's like a whole desert in there.
[just gonna float there on the sand and gawk for minute]
no subject
[High-five! Or low-five, since he's on the ground. But not for too long! Toothless is ever so vigilant, scruffing the viking like so.]
–Whuh!?
[Annnd SAND. Sand everywhere. And beautiful scenery.
Hiccup's eyes go wide at the sight, but some of the sand went into his mouth. He's just...going to munch on it absently. Hopefully this poison wears off and soon.]
no subject
....gods Jingles, what did you eat earlier?
[He waves a hand in front of his face as he moves to carefully slip into the room. Making his way over the sand, he keeps an eye out for any surprises while he approaches the hanging shards.]
Don't mind if we do~
[Plucking one off the wall, waiting a moment before gathering the rest once he's sure the whole place doesn't cave in on them.]
no subject
[and then he looks at Hiccup eating sand, which is definitely not right. But instead of being captainly, he just cackles again. It's funny! Hiccup is funny. Looking back at Gaius, though, some part of him sobers up just enough to notice what he's picking up.]
You sure those're safe? 'Member what happened with the other ones.
no subject
He does notice Gaius picking at the shards, though, blinking quizzically.]
Yahf, tbhat isnpfht safh– pffbt, guh!
[He does get some of that sand out of his mouth, letting it drop like the yaknog Astrid experimented with years ago.]
no subject
no subject
Yeah, okay.
[he looks at Hiccup, still blinking owlishly, and then back to where Gaius is looting the room]
How're we gonna find the guy in all that sand? [never mind that they can't see any other doors. Gan Ning raises his voice, then.] OI! MEEP! YOU OUT THERE? MEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...
...hahaha. Meep.
no subject
Soundfs good.
[He then gets distracted with Toothless' scales. Pet pet pet.]
no subject
-okay, never mind. I'll hold on to these for now.
[He wanders over towards the top of the pyramid, stooping over to brush some of the sand away. Frown.]
...well, if there's something below, we're going to need some help to clear this, even with a dragon here. Any idea where the Straw Hats went? And maybe if we can get Sweets and whatever Pokemon she's still got with her...
no subject
Below? Ugh. We'd be digging forever. Always digging, never getting anywhere... [his eyes sort of cross] ...it's like life, yanno? Ya keep digging, but it keeps falling back on your head, so you never get anywhere.
Think Cyn can do it?
