To Search

[strangerpeople]

[Ever since the Madness left her, Maka has been worried. She expressed her concerns with the Strangers over her partner not being anywhere in sight but she has mostly kept it to herself. Ever since they were looking for feathers, she was trying to find a way to reach out to Soul.

He's dead too after all, she watched him die before her own grizzly death. But she refuses to give up.

Every waking moment, she is out of the plane and is in random places on the island but she doesn't dig in the snow or try to turn over rocks or broken relays. Instead, she simply...stands up and closes her eyes, as if she is trying to focus.]



You should be here...but where are you? Why can't I sense you?

[She's frustrated for sure.]

This doesn't make any sense...

[Jun steps up next to her. He recognizes the look, at least.]

You're trying to find a life sign, aren't you?

[15unknowns]

Kind of. I'm trying to sense his soul.

But I'm not having any luck.

[icanhearscreams]

... Would it help at all if I turned into a weapon?

[He got no fuckin' clue.]

[15unknowns]

I never did hear what kind of weapon you can be.

[icanhearscreams]

It’s a... uh. Catapult.

[15unknowns]

So that means you must be very good at throwing!

[YEET MACHINE.]

[icanhearscreams]

Only with my power, but yeah.

[Noodle arms.]

... I'd help you look but I can't really sense people like that without something from my world.

[Felicity is just out for a bit of a walk. She prefers to be in the plane, but she can't exactly stay cooped up there forever now, can she? She just wants to be off on her...

Oh, for Pete's sake-]

Are you alright, dear?

[She's walking over slowly, a bit of concern edging into her voice. She feels like she might regret this late, but she also feels like she just needs to...do something about it. It's a weird feeling, and she thinks it might be stupid, but she'll do it anyway.]

[15unknowns]

To be honest, I'm not okay. If Soul is dead then he should be here! And I can't even sense his soul anywhere!

[belovedsuffocator]

[Well, that certainly is concerning! Why wouldn't...Soul be here, if they both died on the island? and who names their kid soul what the heck]

Is there any way we could help in finding him? Perhaps setting up a search party, or...something more fitting for your world?

[She has no idea how to help, but she'll try to, darn it!]

[15unknowns]

[Musicians, right?]



I've checked everywhere on the island and I can't sense him-I mean other than the tornado but...

[belovedsuffocator]

[...oh, god, she really wants to just...go on her walk and wish her good luck, but...these feelings are annoying her too much, and if she would do that...sigh]

Is there any way to...check the tornado and...see if he's there?

[She's very reluctant in saying it, but...if they need to find a lost kid, they need to find a lost kid.]

[15unknowns]

Well, we can go in it.

[belovedsuffocator]

[...she sighs...quite loudly...while looking at the ground...]

Then, we may just have to...go into it, if we have no other choice. We...can't just let him be lost forever, can we?

[She seems like she...really doesn't want to, but...she's willing to force herself to help.]

TORNADO DIVE WOO WOO!

[15unknowns]

[After everyone who is interested in going into the tornado that is gathered, Maka will wave to them.]



We're all here...everyone ready?

[icanhearscreams]

[Jun brought the rope!]

Yeah. Everyone tie yourselves off on this, just in case. Even if it's just a wrist or something.

[belovedsuffocator]

Ready as I'll ever be.

[She really doesn't wanna be here, but...she'll feel terrible if she doesn't help...

Darn you, character development!]

[alwaysgonnatry]

Yup! Sure am!

[ Akko nods, holding herself tall and almost appearing as if she can't stay still. Mostly out of excitement since she wanted to do more things to help and be of use. ]

Anytime you guys wanna do this, I'm game!

[notadinosnack]

Ready. [Though the old explorer would definitely prefer to join them, especially with two kids going along. But he also knows sometimes the adults have to stay behind to be sure the kids can come back.]

1/2

[15unknowns]

[Nodding to the rest of the group and tugging on her section of the rope for safety.]

Alright, let's go. Twenty minutes is all we have in there otherwise we will start flickering. If anyone starts, we immediately leave.

[And she will slowly go within the winds, still strong as ever. The only difference is that the group have a somewhat strong anchor and are moving like a team which is a good thing. For anyone who has not been in the tornado before, it feels like a strong storm that really does not want anyone around. However, Maka will hold onto the closest person, to keep them grounded.]

Keep a hold of someone if you feel like you're slipping!

2/2

[strangerpeople]

[The further the group will move in, the ferocity of the winds begin to slow down until something can be seen within the distance. It doesn't look like the mansion that the group is used to but much more stone and more primative surroundings.

However, that isn't what Maka is focused on.]

What...what's going on here?

[icanhearscreams]

[This is... unpleasant. But he will continue.]

Are they... fighting the - are those the Stewards?

[belovedsuffocator]

[She's keeping a hand on Atsuko-not for her own safety, more for Atsuko's-and she's staring curiously at the scene before them.]

That...seems to be the case.

Were they all this crazy when we last saw them??

[Whispering off to the side cause...this looks insane???]

[alwaysgonnatry]

That's insane! Everything got so much worse since we were there!

[ She's holding onto each of them best she can, though her gaze is on the scene they're witnessing, eyes wide. ]

Ugh I wish we could actually help them!!

[15unknowns]

I want to as well. Was it like this before...?
