Zone E -- Highlands

[Karl Jak]

Overview of Region - Region E is comprised entirely of mountains that run along the southwestern region of the island. The mountains range from large hills to peaks that have a little bit of snow at their summits. Caverns and tunnels abound within the mountains, making it a prime location to hide or to lay in wait for other primes. It’ll also make it a headache to try and locate anything in the region. Subzones E1 through E3 are ’foothills’, and there’s the remnants of a large ‘base camp’ there. The Safe House is a bunker near the crest of the third tallest mountain here.



Currently it is... Clear skies. Warm temperatures.

Note: This OP may be updated periodically with extra information or to reflect changes in the Subzone. I will make notifications when this happens.

Note: -- Everyone must roleplay returning to the Safe House at least once in a 24 IC time span (once every 4 OOC days).. The first timer starts to tick at 4:30 PM CDT on 6-14 and will expire at the end of the IC day (4:30 PM CDT on 6-18). Regardless of whether you visit the safehouse early or late, everyone's timer starts at the same time (if that doesn't make sense -- ask me)

[Handsome Jack]

Mountains, huh? Well, I guess it could be worse. I could be dropped off in the water, or some shit. And it IS kind of nostalgic. I was born in the mountains. Well... technically IN a mountain, but still...

My backpack beeps, scaring the shit out of me. I put it down and open it up to find the source: a tablet. It's showing me there's something good nearby. I pack up my shit and move out.

Moving from E12 to E10

[Handsome Jack]

Fuck this shit is boring... just rocks EVERYWHERE. I mean, Piccolo would probably be stoked as hell about it, but I'm only PART him. I gotta get this thing and get the fuck out of here, as soon as possible.

Thank god it doesn't take me long to track the thing down though. The tablet is a big help, of course. I guess Karl isn't THAT bad a guy... and from his pictures he's pretty damn good looking too. Much better than Joe was. That guy was average in every way but where it counted. I kinda feel bad for the dude, buuuuuuut, not really.

Finding Item Drop?

[Cirno]

As cirno got up She saw she was in a hilly area and saw a back pack near her. She opened it up to see some goodies. "maybe I can trade food and water for items since I don't need it really. She pulled out the tablet and saw it was showing her something was off in the distance and had said there was a place she had to go too farther off so she went the most direct route.

E12 to E10 like cell and finding item drop like cell. (I think a fight is in order my frog friend)

[Handsome Jack]

Yup. Everyone is gonna want this shit. I better get my ass to moving. I might be Perfect and all that, but it'd be awfully embarrassing to get my ass handed to me again, like the last time.

Fuck... I'm still pissed about that. I'm gonna drink that bitch. Right after I drink Pops.

The 'muscles' in my legs tense and I hop my happy ass somewhere else quick as I can.

Moving E10 to E11

[Cirno]

As Cirno walked into the next zone she started to look extensively for this item. "Is it around this hill no . . . this hill no." everytime she thought she had found something it was just a rock a stick or a rock. "This is hopeless!" She had to keep determined due to Clownpiece being not the greatest fairy around and would probably be meat for the grinder so to speak.

She searched with a greater vigor after that and started to call for Clownpiece. "CLOWNPIECE WHERE ARE YOU!" She didn't care if it would cause someone to find her she had to find the hell fairy and work together. The hilly area just continued for ages around her. though she could see the sea/ocean nearby her and sighed the item is worthless if she dies here better to destroy the item so others can't use it against Clownpiece.

Item search my jakster

[Handsome Jack]

Damn... that was hectic. So... where to start?

Well, right after I got electrocuted by ol' Pops, some brunette bimbo shows up. Tells me shits about to start. They throw a back-pack on me and Star-Trek my ass into the mountains. Like I said, nice mountains and all, but shit just got crazier from there.

So, my backpack scares the shit out of me (not that I actually defecate, but you get the idea), and I find a tablet. Nice thing too. Probably Gero's work, if I had to guess. Or his company. I don't know; things have gotten really weird ever since Casper the Metrosexual Ghost whisked me away here. Anyway, it tells me there's some item nearby. I figure I best get a move on, since winning requires I get these things. I grab it, shove it in my bag, and skedaddle right proper. I ain't the only one gunning for these.

And that brings me to now. Still in the mountains, but I can see a shoreline not too far away. Guess I could use a tan... And, regardless, it's still better than being here. Gotta put some distance between me and the drop zone, you feel me?

Update

Gone.

Cirno scowled. A notification stated that someone had retrieved the pick up just a few minutes before she reached it!

[Professor Sunshine]

As Abyss was teleported to the island, she got up to take a look at the surroundings to see where she was. Her surroundings looked like mountains that Abyss thought were too tough for her to climb in at the moment, though to the north and she could see some sort of lowlands to the north. As Abyss started to walk north to see what was with the portal, she took a small glimpse of what was in the satchel that she was given.

As she looked inside, Abyss saw a few different items, but the item that interested her the most was the tablet, and as she turned it on, she saw that the tablet had various apps. Curious of the different apps, Abyss quickly turned on the Map app, which allowed Abyss to see what the entire island actually looked like. While Abyss could not see where the other participants were, she still had to try to get somewhere that was down low so she wouldn't be spotted, which according to the map was up north in Area A. Now that she knew where to go, Abyss started to run north so that she could get to that low hills and hopefully get to Area A.

Moving from Area E3 to Area E1.

[Professor Sunshine]

By the time Abyss was able to get to the low hillsl to the north, she could now clearly see the lowlands that was part of Area A, which looked much less rugged than the foothills that she was standing on, and as Abyss tried to step on the hills, she could feel that the hills were quite a bit softer than the rocky mountains. As Abyss thought about when her friends would find her, she took a few quick steps off of the mountain and into the hills of Zone A.

Zone E1 to Zone A13

[Clownpiece]

“What do we have here,” Clownpiece mumbled to herself, vaguely audible over the rustling of her knapsack as she dug through it. Her hands closed around a cold, metal pole, which she dragged out and scanned over quickly, before setting it to the side. That was soon followed by a few bags of what appeared to be snacks, thankfully she was full now, that heist had been well timed. Next came an unlit torch of some sort. Useless, she had her own. Her hands dove back into the bag, pulling out some flint, then a water pouch, and lastly, a metal square.

“What the hell?” The star spangled girl turned over the device in her hands, eyeing it from every angle. She had no idea what the hell this was supposed to be for, but considering it was in the bag with food, water, and fire, it was probably important. Shoving everything back into the sack, she threw it over her shoulder, scooped up her torch, and pushed up to her feet.

The sun was in the sky, the air was fresh, and beyond that, she couldn’t see all that much of anything. Low hills stood up all around her, rolling with a light green grass. Pretty to be sure, but damn useless for letting her actually see into the distance. With a step forward, she started towards the top of the nearest hill for a better view.

And she had to say, the view from the top was much better. Rolling hills surrounded her from all directions. She threw her head back and let out a heavy sigh. This was gonna be hell to walk through. Well, it was better to get started now, standing around wouldn’t make the trek any easier, after all.

The blonde fairy straightened back up, and turned slowly on her heel. Which way should she go first? There were mountains to the east, maybe something would be in there? Or the walls to the west? Though maybe they were a dead end. So mountains were probably the better decision. With the torch in hand and sack on her back, she started forward.

Moving E1 to E2

[Cirno]

As Cirno looked around the drop sight she could see the tallish grass was parted away from a direction she came from. "That little fucker is going to die for taking my drop." She headed after the direction the person who passed through went to go and kindly freeze his ass. That was till she remembered that fairys aren't the strongest and she would get her ass beaten by who knows what beat her to it. So she took a look at the map app and walked up by the sea board towards the next area.

subsection E10 to E7 

[Clownpiece]

No matter how she looked at it, Clownpiece could not see this as a fun area. Her legs burned with every uphill step she took, her breath coming in large, tired gasps. The sun beat down on her from above, providing a welcome warmth, but it still wasn’t hell. She tucked her torch under her left armpit, shivering, and desperately rubbed her bare arms for warmth. This was something she should have expected, given that she’d spent most of her time in this world with Cirno. Taking countermeasures to combat the cold had come to mind several times, and yet here she was, freezing her ass off in a light breeze and lukewarm temperatures.

She crested another hill, the mountain grasses giving way and finally revealing something that wasn’t hills. The flag clad fairy jumped with joy, letting out a jubilant cry as she swung her torch around, before pausing. She dropped her torch, heart sinking yet again. Large, jagged peaks of rock towered above, piercing the sky. Mountains. The very same mountains she’d seen before, which would no doubt be even harder to scale. Clownpiece cursed her foolish past self for thinking that this way would even be a good idea. She should have gone in the other direction, to whatever destiny may lay out there.

Her rhythmic stride started back up again, clearing the foothill and descending into the dale. Whatever could have been over there didn’t matter any more. She came all this way, so she might as well keep going. There was no point to backtracking now. Twice the distance travelled with no results to show for it? No thanks. For now, she’d just have to trek further into the mountains. Hopefully it’d be somewhat warm up there in the rocks. Warm air rose, right? It was a false hope, but at least it was something.

Moving E2 to E4

[Cirno]

As cirno was still salty about losing the item to some probable idiot she saw she was in luck as she found a giant blast out in the highlands that she could rest and take shelter at and if there was a door most likely there was a home in there. "Thank god my legs are killing me!" She went to fly but instead of flying she got a face full of dirt as she jumped right before. "Yuck that was disgusting!"

She started to spit out the Dirt and sat down really confused. "Don't tell me I lost my ability to fly now?! What do I have to do to get my stuff back?!" She got up and trudged to the area where the door was and sighed before opening the surprising unlocked door and trudged in before flopping in the middle of a room made of concrete.

Subzone E7 to Safe house E

[Odin]

The terrain quickly changed from decayed civilization to rugged mountains as Odin moved into Zone E. He used his spear as a walking stick and took his time navigating the loose rocks making up the surface of the nearest hill. When he reached the top, he surveyed his surroundings. There, to the west, was the safehouse. It didn’t look far, as the crow flies, but a quick review of the space between him and his destination showed that it would be no quick trip. Still, seeing the place reassured him a little, because truth be told, having an explosive wrapped around his neck made him a little uncomfortable. With a sigh, he set off down the slope from his vantage point.

E8 -> E9

[Clownpiece]

“So...” Clownpiece panted, carefully clambering up a ledge, right hand shooting up to a handhold, “many...” her arms throbbed with the strain, slowly growing weary over her mountain climbing adventure. “Rocks...” With a final word, she hauled herself up and to safety. Her lungs heaving with heavy breaths, she scooted away from the edge and leaned up against a cliff face. All in all, she had absolutely no idea how her adventure was going. This entire time, she hadn’t seen a single soul, no trace of anyone, no sign of any items. It had just been her and her alone trekking across the mountain range, cresting hills and climbing up rock faces.

After catching her breath, the red-eyed fairy hesitantly pushed herself back to her feet, turning to look further along the path she was travelling. The mountainous terrain continued on for as far as the eye could see, jagged spires blocking out the view beyond them. Without any information on where to go, all Clownpiece could really do was keep walking, keep climbing. Maybe eventually she’d find something worthwhile. Or maybe that metal square in her pack would alert her to something. If that was its purpose. She unslung the sack, unclipping it for a moment, and slipping the jester cap off her head. There was a lot more climbing to be done, so it was best for her torch and her hat to be in there, where they wouldn’t fall off any cliff faces. With her gear safely inside the backpack, she threw it back over her shoulder and set off once again.

Moving E4 to E6

[Gildarts]

Gildarts blinked and a smear of white arches of the hallway turned to an immediate black. Next, a gust of fragrant wind scrambled his fiery hair. His nose twitched, hinting at a sneeze, but he squeezed his nostrils to smother the sneeze before it was free.

Last time, Dante’s Abyss had killed him. He wouldn’t let that happen again. Plus, he hadn’t seen the other Fairy Tail mage. Where had Molly gotten her intel from anyway? “Gah, this is all so confusing,” Gildarts said to himself as his silver hand reached his forehead and stung him with a cold sting.

That was one thing that was a relief, he wasn’t that crazy, his hand was the way it should be, or at least, the way he remembered it from that fateful night. Ice cold and completely devoid of life, aside from the magical energy. The Prime recalled the rules from last year. Kill or be killed. It was probably the same this year, no one had even gotten into specifics with him. He was pretty sure this year they were collecting treasure for some reason though. What a truly wonderful day it was, the sun was high in the sky, and the land before him lay dauntingly uncharted.

To win, you have to play the game, Gildarts. Her voice echoed in the corners of the place she did not belong. Look in the bag.

Well, it wouldn’t kill him to see what he’d been left here to die with. Last time, he’d thought the black bags looked like bodybags, this time, they seemed pretty nice. Within it were a few packs of silver M.R.E.’s that Gildarts had no idea how to use, next was a silver pole that extended and retracted no bigger than a few feet, following that was a flashlight (a device he vaguely recognized), an empty water container, and something that looked like a cell phone but was not. Upon that silver reflective piece of glass was a note from Karl, signed with a heart, saying something along the lines of “figure it out” which Gildarts peeled off and tossed to the ground. Guess he’d spelt his name wrong, not that Gildarts much cared.

The middle-aged prime huffed himself to a stand and started walking. He would figure it out. He’d figure it all out. First, he was going to take a nice long walk.

Moving from E3 to C4

[Jak Mar]

Jak’s hair whipped in the wind as he decided very quickly whatever that noise was ahead wasn’t going to be worth his time. The wind blew over him as he made his trek away and toward safety he had hoped, anyways.

“Redgrave, you hear me? You heading out? Be careful. “You too, Grovwar..- grov?”

The com was turned on silent so that he could quickly text if needed. The small walk turned into lush, mountains.

The man couldn’t help but stare for a second but continued his path taking the mountain paths for a while until he found a hidden cavern to take a breath in.

D5 to E13

[Jak Mar]

Going down was going to be another story, and that story was going to be interesting to explain to say the least.

One trek after another, Mar would take the low road to get to the next mountainside.

The eco warrior eyed his map and held it tight, his handkerchief covering his mouth and his goggles covering his eyes. He had to keep going, no matter what.

The next smaller range was coming into view, and the next climb would be better he had hoped.

E13 to E12

[Jak Mar]

After another look at the map, and pulling out his own tablet, the device had a compass on it. It was always pointed north and the mountains started to literally get smaller.

Mar had been glad he had stopped over the short time. He sighed and bit his tongue once again, and kept pulling along the treacherous trail.

He finally reached the bottom of the second shorter mountain, and the third one actually started to show signs of the safehouse nearby.
