Unfortunately for those concerned:
The moment the cave seemed like it was going to close them all in, one of their number was struck with paralysis… because of
something that had happened previously.
Flashbacks started playing in the back of his mind and he had to bite down a scream because
why, oh why of all times did his claustrophobia choose to rear its ugly-ass head now while they were all down here?!
Due to him being frozen in his tracks, he barely noticed
ollie morales get into a comical pile-up trying to get
FERNANDO SILPH back on the ground; he’d also missed
Michael Navidson’s ‘dynamic entry’ aboard what looked like to be a Pokémon… that was a motorbike? What?
(No, seriously, what?!)
…this also meant he’d very narrowly missed getting knocked off his feet thanks to a certain spectral presence quickly engulfing him in a defensive formation and meeting
Callan Young once he’d managed to get out with little to no damage on his part (physically).
(Mentally, though? Haha.)
“Thanks, Cal,” he mouthed quietly to the other man before quashing his panic down the best he could. No time to lose his damned head, especially down here!
The strange… Pokémon (yes let’s put it at that) released a burst of scalding-hot water that appeared similar to a Hydro Pump but not quite so as well, before everyone started either repelling or attacking whatever it was from a distance…
What a time to be useless!Realizing that he may have the
worst best chance to go after it, he concentrated for a few moments, and the molting wings of ‘ice’ appear once more before he leapt into the air. Never mind if his flight pattern was going to be skewed due to the way the wings were ‘shedding’ and looked banged-up and the worse for wear…
“I don’t know about any of you, but shouldn’t we keep whatever that is within our sights in case we all get led into a trap, or something?” he suggested from his airborne position.
Where one presence failed, another emerged—in the form of
wild magic the ‘blessings’ he shared with the Iceborne Mirage. Not at all perfect, however a swarm of irregularly-sized icicles were now floating in mid-air behind him, before they were sent flying through the air, aimed at the strange… beast.
(He had no other words to describe it, really.)
•
Lars.exe has an internal breakdown moment due to the cave seemingly closing in on them—thanks claustrophobia• which therefore caused him to miss some comical moments; however he gets saved thanks to Callan’s Marshadow’s
Detect before the
Breaking Swipe knocks him off his feet
• (this is what you get for zoning out due to internal panic in the face of fear!)
• thanks Callan for saving his ass before deciding to do something really
stupid risky which is;
• he is now airborne with the tattered wings of ice, and sends a barrage of ‘ice shards’ after the strange Pokémon (Walking Wake; not that he knows what it is)
