Misty Morning
WHO: Adventurers
WHERE: Beyond the edge of the mist
WHEN: idk, we'll figure it out later
[It's a frosty morning at the edge of the outer pasture, where some intrepid explorers are about to dive into the mist in pursuit of herbs.]

are yall just booking it with a body on foot
hey clover,,,
Ceo's voice screams out of the jackalope--]
I am the heir to the Wolf Kingdom! The Wolf King's eldest--Don't you touch a hair on her head, you bastards! I can hear every word you say--HEY!! Get back--
[uh oh, his voice is cutting out the further away they get. But they do manage to hear one last, loud roar.]
CLOVER!!
[also Lyra's arm is still snapping and barking along the way. Maybe its tongue is hanging out its mouth like in a car ride.]
no subject
But it's too late to go back on it now! With Spinel holding the body, Zenith is free to fly above and keep watch over them (especially Lyra's arm) as they make it out of Ceo's range and also the poison. Mostly the poison. ]
-stay together!
no subject
[oh my god wait what are we going to do about the arm how do you fix a goopy wolf arm oh god she has no idea what she's doing but she's booking it]
no subject
no subject
[ She isn't slowing down her pace for anyone. ]
He knows we're here, so we gotta get back to the pasture!
no subject
. . .
. . .
Hey do you hear a honking noise? Like. A truck?
Are those lights flashing in the distance?
Is that a fucking truck driving at them at high speed in a dead forest?
yea]
no subject
But Zenith can keep flying for a little while longer, so he's going to shine the sunflower light forward and continue to trace the way out of the mist. ]
What now-?!
[ This is AT LEAST something like a Ruin Guard so he rolls to the side in the air and starts to fire off multiple windblades at it, because surely this is a robotic creature that he can fight. Like every other form of technology in Genshin Impact. ]
no subject
can the wolf arm fire a laser in the truck direction ash]
WHY IS THERE A TRUCK OUT HERE TOO???
no subject
...if that's an Alpha Wolf truck irony is dead.
[ and so are they. m-maybe another attempt at kudzu shielding as Spinel runs from the truck?? ]
no subject
[ UHHHHHH
okay she's bolting it as fast as she can and maybe splitting away from Lyra some so it doesn't like
HIT THEM BOTH???¿ ]
no subject
The kudzu wall sprouts from the ground and the truck rams right into it, briefly stopped in its track by the vines. But then there's a SLASH--should they look behind them, it's Ceo himself, perched on top of the truck, having slashed through the vines.
In the truck itself, is a featureless masked wolf. How is it driving? Don't worry about it. The truck is also more like a moving truck, so its HEFTY.]
PUT HER DOWN!!
[This seems like the right time for a big villain speech but. To Lyra's question--can the mouth fire a laser at the truck?
Yes. Yes it can.
The laser hits straight through the driver's seat, obliterating the masked driver. Ceo keeps his balance mostly, until Zenith's windblades knock out a tire, and vehicle goes skidding. He falls off the top of it, on to a thicket with a string of curses as the truck finally comes to a stop just short of making Warden and Spinel roadkill.]
no subject
And once the truck driver is obliterated and he's successful in knocking the truck over, he takes a split second to visually note that Spinel, Warden, and the body are not crushed before he dives after Ceo. ]
If you move or use any of your abilities, we'll destroy her body! Don't test us.
no subject
[she doesn't know how to shoot, but she may as well play along if they're in this deep]
no subject
Keep a grip on me, just in case...!
[ is that self-presevation or altruis--haha jk he doesn't want to get wrecked]
no subject
[ she says, with resolve. Spinel only looks over her shoulder long enough to catch a glimpse of the wreck—and who's there—before she sucks in a breath and sprints forth through the woods. It's not exactly sticking together, but Zenith will be able to find her, she thinks. ]
I'll keep you safe—I promise.
no subject
His eyes dart between them. The only Weed he could control is.....a small jackalope. Useless. He isn't making a move just yet.]
You have NO idea what you're doing. I could kill you all right now before you lift a finger.
no subject
[ Winds swirl subtly around them, though he's not attacking. His eyes flick to Spinel briefly, and it seems like he's only barely willing to look at Ceo through the corner of his eyes. ]
Perhaps you'll be more willing to negotiate this time.
no subject
[she thinks]
Why should we give it back!? Can't you try to threaten us a little less and actually talk to us or something?? Stop trying to be all weird and mysterious and murdery and maybe you'll be more likely to get what you want or something!
no subject
no subject
Well, she won't totally run off, at least; still in sight but (hopefully) not within the danger zone, Spinel does come to a halt, turning to see how Zenith and Lyra fare. ]
no subject
Him mad.
Zenith should keep his full attention on him though. Because as soon as his eyes flicker to someone else, the wolf darts forward, and slashes.
The head on Lyra's arm hits the ground with a wet splat (though her arm is still black). And his jaws are wide open, ready to take a bite of ANYONE who sticks their limb out.]
no subject
We warned you.
[ Zenith whips up a cyclone, though it's not aimed at Ceo. This does require him to swipe his arm upwards, but it's worth the risk of putting his arm within biting range.
Razor sharp winds start to spiral into a frenzy right in front of Spinel and Warden.
It's a lot of trust to place in her, to trust that she'll have an idea of what to do, but it's not like they have a lot of other options. ]
Spinel! Destroy it!
no subject
so she's going to do two things.
she's going to start getting ready to aim a bad luck blessed rock at ceo with her slingshot because she's hoping that maybe the bad luck will get ceo.
and she starts singing to give zenith some strength and hp buffing]
Anyone, I don't want to hurt anyone
Don't get in the way of my gaze ahead
Right now, I hope you'll make way for me right now
For if you have a strong cause, you would risk your life for it
Don't proclaim your righteousness as a public position
Otherwise I'll have no choice but to draw my sword
A blue sky with no wind, the scenery doesn't change
Is it okay for the dream I look up to, to be in the same place as yesterday?
no subject
[ The sudden winds startle her, but Spinel snaps herself to attention soon enough. There's a moment where, admittedly, she wonders just how serious Zenith is being here...
And hopes he wasn't. She couldn't possibly— ]
Yup, got it! In she goes now!
[ She calls out, loudly from where she stands in the distance. ]
Getting all chopped up to smithereens! Not a scrap will be left of her...!
[ ... Time to use the cover of those winds to hide behind a tree. Like, with the body still. ]
no subject
It doesn't stop Lyra's buff of him though, and so that wind cyclone? It is strong. So much so that Ceo's immediately blown back, releasing Zenith, and unable to jump for Spinel and the body. He can barely stay on his feet as he screams out.]
I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!
[meanwhile, Spinel (and Warden) hear a voice from the shadows. It sounds somewhat familiar.]
Howdy! Wanna buy a way out? I'll accept an IOU.
