I’ll take my throne, lay it on a mountain

[achievementhunter]

Who: Our volunteer mountaineers
What: Two parties split up to scale the mountain from two sides, planning to meet at it’s peak. Shenanigans occur along the way.
When: September 13th to 16th
Where: Group 1: G3, H2, G2 || Group 2: F3, F2, G2
Warnings: Please note any warnings in your subject headers!


Word spreads quickly in a small community such as this. What was originally intended to be a small party turned into something much larger- and on the day Chara planned to leave for the mountain, it’s not one, but two parties that make off for it’s peak.

Group 1, led by Chara, moves off during the early hours of the morning, seeking to search the furthest part of the mountain by following the river upwards. The path is longer and more winding- however, they are unhampered in when they can travel.

Group 2, led by Ardyn, takes off after the sun has set- due to the needs of multiple members to avoid the sun’s harsh glare. Their route takes them up the closest side of the mountain, which provides an easier path- however, they may only travel whilst the sun is set.

OOC: Welcome to the mountaineering open post! Keep in mind the following;

♆ RNG was happily done blind by our wonderful Guzma mun, with our animals RNG'd by Wade Wilson's! Thank them both for all your misfortune.

♆ Prompts have been provided for each group below! Simply toplevel wherever you wish and treat this like a normal open post!

♆ Since each group will generally be in close contact with one another, consider asking others if you can threadjack here and there; nothing says team-building like being a nosy parker.

Lup's still listening to what the guy has to say and she's mentally high-fiving herself for scoring access to another resource, but mainly she's just really into this big spider. She seems surprisingly gentle for, well, for a bug? Shit, are most bugs like this and we just don't know because they're usually too tiny? Mind blown. Lup giggles at the curious prodding and tugging and gives her head a scratch the way the guy did before.

"You like shiny things, huh, lil girl? Well hang on--" and she unhooks one of the golden hoops from her ear, plopping it down on the spider's horn like a ring and bottle game. Hell yeah.

It's only at the mention of getting sick that her glance can't help landing on those fangs, ears briefly folding back in something like uncertainty. "So you're cute as heck and hellaciously venomous?" Yeah, no wonder Taako wasn't a fan of that part. She isn't really here for it either, for different reasons, but she shrugs it off quickly enough with a casual grin. "Rad!"

Hey now, don't think the future will be freebies, lady, only the first time. Compliments to his pokemon can only get one so far, and he needs tools and resources himself. An eye for an eye, or...whatever. But still, this is loads better than he could have hoped for, given the warnings he had received from the other Keebler Twin. Really, he thought he had to keep his pokemon on the far end from this one, but really? She's not half bad. Ariados even likes her, though that's really not surprising. The big spider's been around people since she was a young little Spinarak, and she's always been friendly and energetic.

Ariados blinks, going a bit cross-eyed as she looks at the dangling gold around her horn. She chitters with glee, turning around to show off her new bling to Guzma. Look, look, its just like your necklace you used to wear!! The one you keep in your bag or your pocket! Her fangs click together and Ariados sinks down against Lup, snuggling up to her happily.

"Dang but she's your best friend now. Make sure you take that back, otherwise Ari gon' make off with it." He gives her a Look, though, and the spider seems to droop a little, the stingers on her abdomen falling sadly. 8( She doesn't wanna give it back... "Yeah, pokemon of her species are real dangerous out'n the wild, specially... Their thread can even be coated in poison, and getting enough on you will cause a nasty rash that'll spread like wildfire over a course'a just a few hours...itches and burns like hell, and not getting treatment is, uh...not recommended.

Less y'all like looking like swiss cheese." Yeah, that poison eats away at flesh, among other nasty things if it gets directly in the bloodstream. But that's really a worst case scenario and takes a few weeks to get to that sort of severity. Really, a direct bite is possibly the most dangerous and fatal, but Ariados is just too sweet to do that without an order. "Don't worry 'bout it though - my lady don't do nothing like that unless she hunting or fighting. As you can probably tell..."

He nods to the spider again, who is swaying her had back and forth to hear the golden ring jingle on her horn.
