[A ski sticks out right in front of Ogata’s legs to trip him. Not so fast, bud. The snow seems to kick up around them, suddenly up into a blizzard. Almost like a boss battle arena?
It is, in fact, your old friend Steve. Except he looks a lot worse for wear? He’s covered in blood, his eyes are wild and roving, and on his head is a wolf skin - the jaws of it balanced over him like a barbarian.]
Just gonna leave me up on that mountain, huh? Well, we’ll see about that, won’t we, friends? Didn’t even try to practice your new skills on the way down! I had to take care of myself out there, I survived, I’M KING OF THE MOUNTAIN.
[UGH. He turns around to look at Steve with great disdain and annoyance.]
The skills these two never got the chance to learn? With broken skis and ski poles?
[Anyway;] It sounded like you were killed by wolves, going back for lost causes is a surefire way to end up dead yourself. That's what I learned in the army.
You disappeared after you fell, there was not much we could do for you. If we could have helped, we would have. [ he steps up next to ogata this time and hands him the gun since he seems to actually know how to use it and steve is really
The army, Mr. Jr. Deputy?! Well I learned in Ski Instructor Training that violence doesn’t solve every problem, but that sure didn’t stop you guys! So I’m gonna give it a try too! If you really are my cool buds who want to bond over the slopes, you’ll have to prove it!
[Steve raises his arms out - holding two ski poles sharped to points out - and starts spinning!!!! SPIN ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!]
[Yeah as soon as Steve starts giving his boss speech, Ogata is quickdrawing and shooting him directly in the head. You better give me advantage on this roll because guns is literally Ogata's whole life.]
[That's fine. That's what Ogata was expecting to happen. He discharges the spent casing from the gun, and finding that it just had that one bullet in it, makes an annoyed noise and just drops it in the snow before turning on his heel to head down to the cabin.]
[ wow. he should try and create a cultivation technique along those lines.
anyway. ogata gets a nod, as he has gained one (1) point of respect, and binghe's gonna swoop up that gun and tuck it in his sleeve instead of his ski fragment because it still looks like something you could beat a wolf or a random rabid ski instructor with.
he gives xichen a brief look, too, to make sure he's following! off they go! ]
Well done. [ that was actually impressive. xichen also nods in respect as well.
well, binghe took his idea of taking the gun as a quality blunt force instrument of pain but that's fine. as long as one of them has it. to the cabin they go - anything look strange about it? signs of blood or wolves or anything? ]
As you enter the warm and cozy cabin, you’ll see a lit fire dancing in a little hearth - the warm and enticing smell of cocoa wafts through the air, and the back of a large velvet chair is to you. Two large horns poke over the top.]
[A lazy claw gestures off to the side, where, under a tree are three wrapped presents. They each have a tag on them:
Ogata will get . . . a commemorative set of skis! They don’t do anything in particular, but they are nice skis. And a bag of regular gorp. It has real brand M&Ms.
Binghe will get . . . a mounted Wolf Head. He instinctively knows that if he brings this to trial, and asks it the name of a location it will tell him everything that there is to find there and summon all the evidence to the trial immediately.
Lan Xichen will get . . . a beautiful, shining gem, that is obviously blessed! He doesn’t know exactly what this does, but he does feel compelled to keep this clearly valuable item on his person.]
