[ It's a feat that's definitely worth cheering for! Nevertheless, it's not Susato has everything memorized, so they're just going to have to wing it and make do. Beyond her martial arts that she only ever used for self defense, she's not exactly the outdoorsy, active type, so she is already starting to feel the burn in her chest and her arms.

And speaking of burn, they seem to be coming up on a thick, heavily forested area! Can they even get through there...? ]


L, Like that?!

[ Susato frees up one of her hands, preparing for anything. And as if that wasn't enough, suddenly branches of all shapes and sizes come protruding down on either side of them, as if actively trying to impede their progress. She doesn't think. She just closes her eyes, reaching for that inner fire as she always has, and starts to take aim as she releases small wisps of fire to clear their way.

It's a bumpy ride! In some cases, the branches don't burn fast enough, and she has to start using the oar to wack them out of the way as they barrel through. ]

[ Something of a celebratory noise escapes from her mouth, and she might have held up her oar in triumph as they make it through. That slowed them down for sure, but they don't give up! She takes a moment to regard their surroundings once more, looking ahead of them to see what else they have left, and it doesn't look like much at all.

There are more flags to indicate the finish line, similar to what was at the start. Better not linger! She wipes off some sweat off her forehead.

If there are any scratches on her skin, or damage to her clothes, or the boat, she'll worry about it later. ]


Almost!

[ And then, after one last nasty surprise in the form of a whirlpool that felt more like a giant drain, Susato has to release off another ball of fire with force, trying to use the momentum to jet them in the opposite way and out of its pull.

They cross the finish line soon after to much cheering and clapping! Some of it might've even been her own. Phew! ]

[ They're likely soaking wet, and Susato absolutely is not paying any attention at all to the time they recorded, not until they've been informed that they get to pick a consolation prize. She had nearly forgotten about that! Truthfully, she thinks Gina would have done just as well with another partner, or on her own, given how resourceful she is, but she won't argue. ]

Th, That was fun! Let's go see what prizes we can choose!

[ Susato glances at Gina and the hand on her shoulder. The petals on her sakura hairpin start to glow, and they don't even have to go far. A short distance away, they're treated towards what looks like a veritable wall of plush animals. At the bottom are larger ones, as big as the girls themselves,but a little higher up are the ones they get to choose from.

All of them are smaller than Toby and roughly the size of their hands (perhaps a little larger, and all of them seem to be food-themed.

Susato is tempted by the cats, but already seems to have locked on to something that makes her think of her homeland: takonyaki! ]

Annoyance, I understand that too. It's like the birds are just mocking us with how they use those tricks.

[Alphen doesn't like it either so he's inclined to agree with Gina.]

Just now I saw it move again! Damn.

[The goose is on the loose.]

[personal profile] refire 2022-05-09 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if they'll be laughing when they lose!! We should get them!

[ Now he's all fired up and ready to go. Alphen likes to get competitive and he doesn't ease up easily so he'll be trying his best to take on the loosey goose.]

Today's the day their reign of terror ends!

[ For all his bold claims he just fails magnificently. The goose is still loose. ]
refire: (51)

[personal profile] refire 2022-05-11 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Oh! You're right.

[He will also sigh at his failed attempt and then shake his head with Gina. ]

That was a good try. I can tell you gave it everything you got. I never thought we'd have this much trouble with it. Even with both of us attempting it's still hard to overcome.

[This goose is being rather obtuse. ]

Hm. Might be for the best in the end. These hedges don't like being disturbed. [Speaking from experience?]

We'll worry if the path suddenly decides to end. [At the moment, it seems to be a straighter path than the last one they went down.]
chippedsoul: (I'm here for you)

[The maze seems to sense there's not any shortage of confidence between. For when they turn a corner, they'll see the walls will eventually come to an end on the far side. Couldn't help but have a relieved smile on his face.]

I think we actually did figure it out. [The question is, will their costumes go away once they get out?]

Not too bad at all.

[Although they've definitely spoken too soon, because as soon as Tifa finishes saying it, the cave gives a mighty roar that shakes the walls that dust begins to fall on their heads. Already, Tifa's gut is telling her that this is probably what she was expecting...]

We need to move...

[And then, the stair under her feet begins to crumble.]

Now!
starshower: (temp 239)

[personal profile] starshower 2022-05-13 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tifa manages to catch her when she stumbles, although they can't linger for long, because the crumbling stairs wait for no one, chasing them as they run.

She takes the lamp from Gina so that the poor girl can worry more about her dress, but this time, it's Tifa who trips on a crumbled corner of one of the steps and slips off completely, grabbing onto it at the last second to save herself the tumble all the way down.]


Just keep running! I'll meet you at the bottom.
starshower: (temp 226)

[personal profile] starshower 2022-05-16 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait—!

[Tifa grits her teeth, looking back to the crumbling staircase and then to Gina's hand... She would be able to break the landing just fine if she fell, but it would risk splitting them up. And if she were in Gina's shoes, she'd be adamant about helping, too.

So, Tifa snatches Gina's hand, her own fingers gripping around the girl's wrist for extra support so that she might help pull Tifa back up in time... but they are quickly running out of that. Her other hand slips in a panic and she yelps, but she grabs hold again fast enough that Gina won't have to support all of her weight.]


On three—! [She doesn't even wait for her confirmation before counting down quickly.] One, two, three, pull!
