Aug. 12th, 2015 07:25 pmwanna_bash_headsWhat: Just some voice-testing fun for Casey here, with Yuffie.
Setting: A modern 21st century urban city, that acts as the base 'level' for a Game of Champions held by cosmic entities. It's essentially like a giant video-game, aside from real pain/death for the participants. The city is populated by various 'npcs' who provide basic services (like in video-games), as the PCs (Champions) live and practice, and ultimately survive, in this city-setting.
Ultimately designed for up to 50 people, there are currently 20 in residence from the original group brought in. (Casey and Yuffie were/are both among these first arrivals.) Challenges happen every month for 2-3 weeks, and so far have featured relatively simple challenges. (Examples include a free-for-all-survival-battle against combat-robotic NPCs, a retrieval-mission through a dungeon with stereotypical monsters from DnD, and various escort-assignments of a target versus armored-warriors.) Each Challenge offers the opportunity to earn points, unique to each individual champion. These points can be used to upgrade their equipment, buy extra 'lives', or upgrade their housing.
Death is not permanent, but does cost the champion when it happens. They are given a limited number (3) of 'freebies', before a special ability or a memory will be taken from them every time they die after that. Not counting that for all this is like a live action video-game, they actually can get injured for reals. Anyone maimed/wounded grievously is side-lined for a month to 'heal'. Anyone sidelined in this way forfeits any points earned for that challenge.
What purpose is this ultimately all for, from the cosmic entities? Who really knows? They haven't revealed yet, and while most of the challenges have been primarily action and fighting-based, that COULD change...
The city wasn't as comfortable as New York for Casey, but it had sort of become a second home. Also a training ground, since when he DID get back he'd have to help fight the invasion of the Kraang. Good thing this place had its share of monsters and mutants and other baddies to deal with as well. Now if they just could figure out how to get people back to where they came from, Casey'd call it a done deal.
He missed April. He missed Raph, and Mikey. Was Leo recovering alright? What about Don? Hell, he missed trading snark with Don while they worked on things in the old barn.
It wasn't like he didn't have friends here--he had a few. But it wasn't 'home', no matter how much it became like it in some ways. Still, winter here at least wasn't too different than the city he knew.
Including ice-skating. Maybe he'd see if anyone else has heard of Hockey. For now, he'd arranged a meeting with one of his sorta-friends at the frozen lake in the central park. He's bundled up in his usual gear, and already gotten two sets of skates. Now he just needs the Princess.

She had been lost in her thoughts only realizing that Casey was skating towards her at full speed last minute. She turned away as snow showered down on them and then blinked. "Are you trying to kill me?!" Had she been paying attention it wouldn't have been as bad.

With that she dives into the snow, scooping up a ball of cold fluff and throwing it at Casey's face.

Scrabbling for some more snow of his own, while trying to grab her arm so he could shove it down the back of her shirt.

She was never one to dress in snow gear which was why she was now very cold. She quickly brushed away the snow but not before it had already had a chance to melt against her skin. A shiver ran through her and she felt the start of a cold brimming though it might just be her imagination.

Date: 2015-09-14 05:06 pm (UTC)Clear remorse, because he really did think of Yuffie as his friend. He didn't want her upset with him, or upset, or suffering. The dark grey coat was wool and hooded, and would probably dwarf her, but that was ok.

Date: 2015-09-28 01:51 pm (UTC)"Maybe it's time to head back inside?"
She wanted hot chocolate and to not have to wear so much clothing. She liked being free to move and roll around.
