[ it's another muggy, meandering day in the jungle; nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. ]

IN THE VILLAGE

[ if your character is near the center of the village, they'll bear witness to the curious sight of a herd of shuffling mushroom beasts. in terms of threat level, to the experienced hunter they may have ranked low on the scale: slow, lacking an external fang or claw, they seem to be interested only in their endless march forward.

but, if your character is close enough, they may catch sight of a red-haired young man, a manifesto of anger written across his face. one breathless moment, the calm before the storm, and then he hurls a metallic pair of gloves at the closest beast, the gloves trailing arcs of flame.

what may strike your character first is the searing heat, the thrum of the earth below their feet. the whole village is demolished in a moment, the dying cries of the beasts rising above the din. the explosion lasts much longer than it should, the line of mushrooms going up one after another.

if you're too close, you might be torn in two. you might lose a limb, or two, or three. you might go deaf, you might lose your sight. you might lose all your eyelashes, your clothes. maybe the bag of mushrooms you'd collected for dinner is now little more than ash.

keep running. the smoke trails into the air. someone is screaming. the smell of charred meat follows you even after you disappear into the jungle. ]


IN THE SURROUNDING JUNGLE

[ if your character is close enough to the village, they'll feel the blasts, one after the other. the jungle is on fire, quickly spreading. maybe you'll hear the screaming, too; maybe your lungs will fill with smoke. maybe you'll run into one of the last mushroom beasts, fleeing from the explosion only to trigger a lesser one in the depths of the jungle.

it came from the village, didn't it? maybe someone you love was swept up in the explosion.

if you manage to escape the stampede of terrified jungle beasts (some of which may stop to crunch you up as a quick meal as they dash away from the blast), maybe you can venture closer to see what's happened.

or maybe you should get as far away as possible. ]

Light--

[ a start of concern, though she's cut off with her own coughs.

they're doing well. milla feels herself struggling, but the heal from before had done some good in restoring her energy. she doesn't have anything to help lightning--that had gone with undine--but... she can offer at most a slight support. perhaps it's sudden, she moves to stand beside her companion; lightning's arm over her shoulder, three orbs of water circling them to douse any flames that come closer.

there's no way in hell they're dying here, especially when the other woman had come in here and helped her. with sylph she may have been able to blow off any smoke, but... nope. with her hands occupied, all she can do are her weaker water spells. ]

[ lightning finds herself walking without really thinking — her mind is getting cloudy, but milla's support is enough for her body to take over in carrying itself.

they're getting close and closer to emerging from the flames, but lightning's breathing is getting shorter and her coughs are getting deeper. ]

[ now milla's really pushing it. it isn't like she's running, but she takes the last of her strength to move as quickly as she can towards the edges of the flames and a little bit further than that, her steps heavy but as quick as she can make them regardless. unfortunately there's no graceful end to all of this--because when they finally do make it to the end (not The End, which is the only fortunate thing here), she's all but clambering to get lightning leaning on the safest thing she can.

probably while panting or coughing. best day ever! ]


Li-- [ a cough. ] --Lightning. We're out. You didn't die on me, did you?

[ because she's not allowed to do that thing, just saying. not that milla's saying it'd be that easy to kill lightning... ]
