CLOSED: OVER THE BRINK

Who: III, Guilmon, and Umemiya
What: Over the Brink
Where: The foggy beach
When: Sometime in the middle of April
Warnings: Fog induced hallucinations and paranoia, possible Pokémon typical violence


[III, for his part, was desperate to help out more after what happened in February. Still, something going wrong with the teleportation was not what he had in mind when he signed up for this.]

Okay, let me just... [III tries to warp out (maybe he can get back to the bay?), only to simply flicker in place a bit. When the flickering stops, he's looking noticeably nauseous, swallowing hard before finding his words again.]

...Teleportation's broken. How's... how's everyone else holding up?

[Guilmon blinks blearily, rubbing his eyes and sniffing the air.]

Giru...

[This is... not how it was supposed to go, he thinks. Teleportation shouldn't be broken either!]

Guilmon's okay, but what about you? If your teleportation doesn't work, does that mean you're sick?

Aura sense is still working. If it's just teleportation, all we need to do is find our way back. So...for now, let's be smart about that.

[Umemiya is wearing his gakuran jacket and a small pack with some berries over it. He adjusts the straps as he glances around at the area they've landed in.]

Hard to tell which way's which in this fog, though.
guilmon: (giru?)

Hmm...

[Guilmon presses his nose to the ground, sniffing.]

Maybe we can follow smells? It'd be easier if Guilmon had something to work with, though.

[A scrap of clothing, shedding... Oh well.]

Yeah, I'm the same way with scents. Bigby was teaching me, but...

[Umemiya thinks a moment.]

Can we track back toward the sea to get us in the direction of the Spire? Or maybe to the types of trees that grow in the Canopy?
guilmon: (nervous)

As long as Guilmon doesn't have to swim...

[But for now, it seems like their best plan of action, so he starts sniffing along. He won't move too far, though, just so they don't lose sight of each other.]

We're definitely not making you swim, Guilmon. Here, I'll take point.

[Guilmon's sense of smell means he might sense danger coming from behind faster. It keeps the smaller, perhaps more vulnerable III between them, as they start walking.]
guilmon: (giru?)

[personal profile] guilmon 2026-04-30 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Something about points?

[Guilmon blinks a few times, but... that fog's worrisome. So worrisome that he tries to make his tail flame shine brighter, just in case!]
fromsprouts: (glower)

[personal profile] fromsprouts 2026-04-30 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's way too early to stop and eat.

[Well, this sure is working out well.]
