thebastion | [Day 169] Semi-open | You'll come back when it's over

Who: Crona (and Ragnarok) and semi-open to the people who went looking for them
Open: Semi-open
When: Day 169
Where: Skyway, somewhere out in the middle of nowhere
What: Crona's been gone for a while, some people are going to look and hope they find the meister.
Format: Let's actionbrackets, gonna set this up a little bit like a shard hunt, with threaded sections
Warnings: Very upset Crona, possibly violence.

[Eight days ago, Maka and Crona went out to the Skyway. Nothing important, just a little trip, looking for shards. They'd all waved goodbye, said "see you later".

But that was eight days ago.

With everything else that's happened, it's not hard to lose track of Crona. Maybe the meister was just hiding, avoiding the funeral and all the chaos and noise. But it's been eight days, and Crona isn't here.

Maybe Crona and Ragnarok and Maka are all just gone, lost on the Skyway with no coming back. It's happened before. But maybe there are people who don't want that, who want to try and see if they can find some trace of the group and bring them back.]

[It would probably be a good idea to gather a group instead of wandering off one by one.]

[Well, it's been some time since Crona vanished. And after that whole ordeal with the Gasfella, they've got plenty of cause to be concerned...]

[Colin's been checking around, and nobody seems to have seen Crona, so... worse comes to worse? Looks like Colin's setting up another trip. He's out at the Monument, making sure to stand where Paar will have plenty of space to land.]

HEY! Everyone!

[He's using his amplifier for this, so plenty of people can hear him.]

I haven't seen Crona in a while, so I'm putting together a search party! Anyone feel like helping me check around?

[He then mutters aside]

And people wonder why I made those trackers, damn...

[In all the mess with Night dying and such, Nanaki actually hadn't noticed that Crona had gone missing. When she hears Colin, though, she starts to think about it. When was the last time she had seen Crona? Not at the funeral, not at the day Rin brought Night back...

It isn't look before Nanaki takes off running to the monument. Crona is her friend, she's not going to just leave them out there alone.]

I'm going.

[There's that familiar beat of wings that signals Paarthurnax's presence, but this time they don't stop their steady rhythm. He stays airborn, but his voice can be well heard over them. It is as calm as always.]

I shall search ahead and let you all know if I discover anything.

[If any of ya'll wanna stop him, might wanna move quick since he's already twisting through the air towards the Skyway.]

We'll be right behind you!

[Zia has only now hustled over, a little out of breath from the run across the Bastion.]

I want to go, too. Please.

All right, you're all in.

[Colin's the muscle here, apparently. How did this happen?]

If anyone else wants to come, now's the time!

Zia, Nanaki, get some water and a couple snacks from the kitchen, if Crona's gone wandering, this may be a bit of a hike... I'm going to try and figure out where Crona might have gotten of to.

[He shakes his head then. He doesn't really have a lot to go on.]

We may have just have to follow Paar.

[let's be real here, Paar is the muscle.]

Right! We should probably bring extra too, just in case Crona is dehydrated.

[If Crona has been gone a week, that's a possibility.]

[Well, yes. But compared to Paar, even Rin's just extra baggage.]

Definitely a good idea. I'll grab some stuff from the hospital too, just in case.

[There's a lot of wandering involved. Lots of backtracking and getting lost and circling around in dead-end paths. Crona wandered this area for over a week, searching for Maka. There's a general trend away from the Bastion, but there's so many overlapping paths that it might get confusing.]

[However many people decide they want to come along, Colin's not going to wait for too long. Paar's probably the best scout they'll have, and if they lose track of him, finding Crona's going to be much harder. So there's Colin, marching out onto the skyway with a bag of supplies, and plenty of ammo, just in case.]

[He's watching Paar fly in the distance, but every so often, he's checking for signs that Crona may have come in this direction. Unfortunately, he's not a tracker by any means. Mostly, he's just chasing the dragon unless anything jumps out at him and demands attention.]

[If anyone loses sight of the giant dragon, then that really will be a feat.]

[Not that Paarthurnax is trying to lose the rest of the group. He's simply going further than them, faster, keeping a sharp eye out for any signs of Crona. Once they've gone out far enough, however, he opens his mouth. Not to shout, but to whisper.]

Laas Yah Nir.

[His eyes start to glow, and he searches out the unique pattern of Crona and Ragnarok's soul, along with that of Maka's.]

[Maka's soul is nowhere to be found, which explains why Crona's soul is even more of a mess than usual, like a cornered animal gone mad with pain. The meister has wandered, but not too far.

As for living things, there aren't many, not anymore. The creatures of the Skyway tend to stay clear of places of carnage, which is what this area has become.]

[For some, seeing all the carnage but none of Crona's black blood spilt might reassure them. For Paarthurnax, it worries him only more. His voice booms out back to the group.]

Colin!

[He's coming in to land, too. The group can make their way to him in a good fifteen minutes jog if they hustle.]

[One doesn't need to tell him twice. He's going to look at Zia and Nanaki, and nods quickly.]

Watch your step! Let's not keep him waiting!

[He can move pretty fast, but he's not going to leave his team behind.]

[Nanaki takes off running, doing her best to keep up with Colin. Which isn't that difficult for her, truthfully, running is one of the things she can actually do competently. She's been running for supplies all this time anyway, since she can't fight monsters, so running to where a dragon is can be done.

She'll be out of breath by the time they get there, though.]

Is... is it Crona?
