[MISSION BRIEFING]

[survivaltricks]

[SO ANYWAY, ON DAY 27 MORNING, Lupin would've gathered up any willing Thistles + Blood Fiend + Edgelord and asked them to meet him at the edge of the pasture, near where the mist begins! once everyone is there, he gives a brief rundown of the operation]

All right. Our plan is to travel into the mist to find the demon ram's cave full of golden statues. Edgelord, as a "fanged beast," should be able to navigate us through the mist. We have to stay in contact with him the entire time in order to see where we're going, and if worse comes to worst, I'll be able to guide us back to the pasture.

[nodding at Yata!]

Yata's mirror can act like a pocket dimension, so we don't have to worry about carrying the statue ourselves. We can also escape into there in an emergency.

[flexes his fingers around his staff and gives one last deep inhale and exhale]

And finally. . . to those of us who are still bombs: I'm ready to detonate us to either kill the demon ram or destroy the cave, if necessary. But I won't do it without consent from the rest of you, okay? Edgelord, Tyr and Blood Fiend shouldn't have to worry about dragging our bodies back either, thanks to the bomb demon's boon of automatic revival.

Any questions?

[stirtheblood]

You'll have to what with me the entire time??

[survivaltricks]

Physical contact.

[WAGGLES FINGERS]

Wanna hold hands?

Re: [MISSION BRIEFING]

[catposting]

Surprise?

Re: [MISSIONG BRIEFING]

[pictureimperfect]

You gotta carry us.

Re: [MISSION BRIEFING]

[catposting]

I went into the mist recently, so it would be best for me to travel inside the pocket dimension on the way there to avoid an ambush, if possible.

...

If you see a large red spellcaster wolf, flee.

[nodnods!]

Re: [MISSION BRIEFING]

[pictureimperfect]

If that's what you want. You can watch us from inside, so just give me a knock when you wanna jump out.

[literal_trainwreck]

[No questions here! Loki's standing to the side, ready to go.]

Re: [MISSION BRIEFING]

[pictureimperfect]

Yeah, who wants to carry the mirror for me?

Re: [MISSION BRIEFING]

[leonheartedly]

[no questions here either, he just nods along with the explanation]

[shortforever]

[Raises his hand.]

Those of us with bombs should wear clothes we don't mind losing.

[He is indeed wearing one of his Thistle outfits, not the clothes he came to the game in.]

[TO CHARON, MINUET, YOUR NAME]

[survivaltricks]

[ALSO ON DAY 27 MORNING, ALL THREE OF THE ABOVE GET A CUBE CALL]

Thistle is heading out into the mist this morning. Wish us luck, okay?

If you hear an explosion-- heck, I don't even know if sound carries from beyond the mist-- try not to worry, okay?

I'll let you know when we get back.

[AND THEN HE IS OUT, any replies will be ignored if only because he is busy!1]

Re: [TO CHARON, MINUET, YOUR NAME]

[featherduster]

[ GOOD LUCK, THISTLE.

If he doesn't get a follow-up call by nightfall he might get feral. ]

[endsjustified]

[GOOD LUCK BOYS

he doesn't call back but he does call his co-shepherd]

Perci? Thistle is on their way.

[debug_mode]

Luck.

Don't let Yata be cursed, or some equivalent.

[ACTUAL MIST THINGS]

[survivaltricks]

[the adventure will take place here!]

[stirtheblood]

[Edgelord glances at the mist and back at the group.]

Hah. Well, do whatever ya need to do so we can get going.

[BLOWN BACK INTO THE MEADOW]

[stirtheblood]

[After a very large explosion, Blood Fiend, Edgelord and Tyr are blown by the force all the way back into the meadow. They are largely intact, although one of Edgelord's arms appears to be solid gold.

The same cannot be said for the rest of Thistle. While they are also blown back to the meadow, they are significantly less intact.]

[survivaltricks]

[WELL]

[THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE THISTLE BITS IS. . . once they all land, they start to just. come together on their own? until there is one fully whole messy-haired Thistle shepherd lying on the ground, staring at the sky as he clutches his staff, looking super dazed and bewildered]

[also he's naked]

. . . whoa. . .

Re: [BLOWN BACK INTO THE MEADOW]

[pictureimperfect]

[Yata is SIGNIFICANTLY LESS INTACT, gross little spirit blobs full of eyes and teeth rain down and hey guys remember earlier that thing with the writhing masses of flesh trying to reform itself

it's just as gross the second time around]

[shortforever]

[Much like the others, Odin's bits land in a mess and start to come together after a few seconds. Soon enough a redheaded Thistle is laying on the ground, also staring up at the sky.]

Cool. Let's not do that again.

[He is also naked.]

Re: [BLOWN BACK INTO THE MEADOW]

[literal_trainwreck]

[a naked Loki is lying on the ground, laughing hysterically]

Re: [BLOWN BACK INTO THE MEADOW]

[leonheartedly]

[THE ONLY INTACT THISTLE at least until the rest of them revive and . . . reform . . .

Tyr hits the ground with a grunt and rolls to a stop, coughing. It's fine, he gets thrown around all the time]

Re: [BLOWN BACK INTO THE MEADOW]

[catposting]

[ TUMBLES UNCEREMONIOUSLY BACK INTO THE PASTURE.

lays there for a couple of seconds, then sits up. looks around at the naked Thistles. ]

... Well.
