Start Ups The Tower

[Flaze]

"I'm not done with you yet," Natlie said, gritting her teeth in annoyance as she took out her bow and arrow and began firing arrows at the beast, not caring if she was essentially wasting them.

 

[Midorikawa]

"I get the feeling I'll be making a lot of arrows during this," Amelia sighed quietly to herself.

 

[Prez]

"Thank god," Winnie simply said, wiping her brow. Twix seemed unaffected by what happened.

 

[Yun]

The beast, predictably, was downed from the onslaught. Their first battle was an obvious success.

The creature's attack left a clearing in the shrubbery, showing a path that seemed well-worn and not overtaken by nature.

 

[Midorikawa]

"Considering all other groups have died before us. Should we maybe avoid following where they went?" Amelia suggested putting her weapon away.

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"You know, I think if we all die, that dog should be declared the chosen one," Brooke commented as she looked at Twix.

 

[Flaze]

Natalie let out a loud sigh once the beast died, she walked over and began taking the arrows she had fired out, she could use those later. "Isn't it dangerous to bring a dog with you?" she asked, struggling to get an arrow out from the beast's abdomen.

 

[Midorikawa]

"Animals sense more than humans. And it is a small dog. Her dog may actually help more than harm."

 

[Flaze]

"If...you...say...so!" Natalie called out, almost falling off as she finally got the arrow off.

"What's its name?' Andres asked Winnie as he walked over to look at Trix, reminding him of his sister own puppy.

 

[Prez]

Winnie, not really paying attention to the conversation, took Twix out of her bag. She held the dog up vertically. "This little lady is Twix. Found her on the streets a few years back," she explained, and then paused. "She likes getting pet, you know..."

 

[Taengoo]

Ryan just frowned. Dogs weren't his cup of tea...quite the opposite, actually. He didn't have very good memories of canines in general.

The thought made him shiver.

 

[Flaze]

"Well, at least he'll add some levity to this whole fiasco," Natalie pointed out, looking down at her leg and wincing. "Anyone brought medical supplies? I wouldn't want to lose my leg so early in our little adventure."

Andres walked over to Twix and pet his head slightly, a smile on his face.

 

[Prez]

"She," Winnie sharply said. "Treat the lady with some class," she said to Natalie.

 

[Hector]

A carton of bandages fell next to Natalie out of the nearest tree. Miles had climbed up said tree and was using his sniper rifle as a telescope to try and scout the area. When he'd heard Natalie's remark, he'd flipped through his pack and tossed her some bandages for her leg. He hadn't seen anything concerning quite yet, but he was staying vigilant.

 

[Flaze]

"Sorry," Natalie replied with a roll of her eyes. "At least she'll bring some levity to this whole fiasco," she corrected, doing a mock courtsy. She was distracted by the sound of the bandages falling next to her. She reached down to grab them before glancing up at Miles. "Thanks soldado," she stated before sitting down on the ground to tend to her leg.

"Wait, did you bring food for her?" Andres asked as he looked down at Twix. "Though I guess we could feed her leftovers if anything."

 

[Hector]

"I have a few MREs with me, and the dogs back in the service always loved them... Way more than we did, that's for sure." Miles stated with a smile from above. "And Natalie, let me know if you need some pain meds for that leg." Contrary to what one might think, he wasn't trying to take a paternal role. Instead, he was just acting just as he did as an officer in the field. Make sure his men were at their best and do whatever it took to keep them in fighting shape and bring them all home.

 

[Prez]

Twix glanced up at Miles, panting. She seemed to like the idea of his MREs.

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

"She's an adorable, classy lady," Brooke commented as she crouched down and got closer to Twix. "I've always wanted a dog, but I probably missed my opportunity now. Maybe once all of this is over."

 

[Flaze]

"Do you have any of the fun kind?" Natalie muttered towards Miles. She felt like she'd need a few of those drugs just to be able to have fun in that kind of scenario.

"Having said all that," Andress moved back a bit from the others and looked around. "We still haven't really moved, but taking into account our injured member, I think it'd be best if we stay together...plus that thing was scary."

 

[Midorikawa]

"Save the MREs in case we end up in a desert. We're in a forest and we have meat right in front of us." Amelia nodded towards the dead creature. "If you're leg gets too be in too much pain then I'll heal it, but I rather avoid if necessary. It takes a lot out of me. I can at least adage you up with ease though," she offered.
