Nothing to Sea [SFFM][Initiation]
« on: October 29, 2016, 09:13:35 PM »
The last time Mao had smelled the sea was when he was attending Signal, and getting a whiff of it once more was bring back memories.

"Any minute now, it's gotta be."

The foliage was slowly transitioning from those of a deep-forest environment to those that thrived along the sea side, and the chirps of sea gulls could be heard in the distance. Mao took out and activated his scroll, tapping and swiping away until he found what he was looking for.

"Investigate a beached ship, huh? What do you think we'll find?"

He took a quick peek behind him to make sure nothing was tagging along behind the quartet.

The seaside was neither familiar nor particularly unfamiliar to Mint; the only thing she knew for sure was that she didn't like it. Something about the smell of the air, combined with the possibility of falling in the water, made this mission rather unappealing to her. The typical breeze surrounding Mint was noticeably absent today as if in response to her mood, even though she tried to stay characteristically optimistic.

"Maybe someone fell asleep while driving the ship? I dunno, it's hard to think what would've happened to a boat out to sea in the weather we've been having lately." She glanced up at the sun straight above them, not a cloud in the bright blue sky.

...Of course, she almost shouldn't have even bothered answering Mao. Mint knew perfectly well she had zero understanding of boats or the people that drive them.

Ahh, what a beautiful morning. The sun was shining through the treeline, the scent of sea was in the air, and Finn was on his way to a beached ship to investigate and maybe explode things. Who knew? All in all, a very good day was on the cards.

"Maybe they were attacked by the White Fang, overcome by Grimm and we're going to rescue them in a display of awesome?! Or they ran out of fuel, drifted here and we're gonna have the easiest mission ever".

This was promptly followed by Finn tripping over a tree root and falling flat on his face. "Ow! I'm okay. I think".

The beach. Why did it have to be the beach? Those thoughts were going through Duncan's mind as he walked behind Finn a good distance, just in case he had to use his weapons. Maybe there would be something good to do later today if there was enough time to get away from the school.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone falling and saw that it was Finn. He saw that Finn had fallen. Duncan proceeded to walk around the root, look at Finn and put his hand out to help.

"No time to be admiring the Remnant!" Map helped Finn back up, trying not to fully stop in the process.

"I feel like they wouldn't send us out here for something so simple, though you're right, the weather has been pretty bad lately." He crossed him arm, tilting his head to signify he was deep in thought. "What if it turns out to be the boat of a renegade Atlesian huntsman, now on the run and hiding in these very woods?" Mao chuckled. "No matter, we'll be able to take him on!" He bumped his fisted gauntlets a couple of times, making sure not to get too overeager and cause a ruckus. "Well, maybe."

((Oh uh, I meant to imply that the weather's been good and probably wasn't a major factor, but we can go with that I guess. .-.))

"I hope the crew are okay! If we can track them down and ask what happened, we'll be back in time for lunch!" Questions popped into Mint's head faster than she could ask them, but she narrowed it down to a few before continuing to talk. "Do we know what kind of ship it was? What they were doing when we lost contact?" Her excitement to start investigating overcame her discomfort with the environment, and a cool, salty breeze came over the group.

"I was just getting a lay of the land, is all. I've concluded that the land is there. Thanks chaps" Finn clapped his hands and pointed in the direction they were going, "Moving swiftly on".

Finn started humming as he listened to Mint's questionnaire. "Well, in answer to your second question, I imagine they were sailing. And, considering that they brought a team in for the job, it's probably a large ship. Oooh, maybe it's got cool, secret Atlas tech" Finn babbled cheerfully as he grabbed his satchel off of his back, and started rummaging through his bombs.

Duncan kept moving and decided to check his stash of supplies for making his bombs. He heard the conversation that went on and decided to put his hat in the ring of expectations.

"If anything it's probably some guy from Atlas with too much time on his hands and too big a boat to handle."

Mao chuckled to himself as Duncan's words were twisted into an innuendo in Mao's mind. He did appreciate Duncan's realistic attitude as a counter-balance to the team's eccentric side, or at least Mao's.

"Anyone wanna make-uh wager? If nothing ends up happening, at least we get somethin' out of it. And if things do get crazy, it'll be a nice way to cap everything off."

A smile spread across his face, and since he was sitting at the rear, he let it slide.

"Oh, and do ya seen anything yet, el Capitan? He asked.

((But... But I don't remember which F I am!))

"Maybe they assumed the bay is just what our docks look like?" She chuckled. "We are pretty primitive compared to Atlas!"

Mint knew they must be getting close. The forest trees were all but gone now, and even around Duncan she could see the shimmering sea in the distance. She had to admit it was a pretty sight, as much as she didn't want to.

"Even Atlas aren't that full of themselves. Plus, I'm fairly certain they have fancy pants ships that steer themselves. You know, the ones Beacon don't have, Finn cheerfully imputed as he pulled a shock grenade out of his satchel, looked at it, and tossed it back in. "What do you have in mind, Mao? Good wager sounds like fun".

Finn jogged ahead a little, down to the water's edge. He leaned forward and cupped some of it between his hands, and throw it into his face. The water was cool and refreshing, if a little too salty for Finn's taste.

Hearing what Mao said as he got a look at the layout of the beach. It did seem like a nice day, but they would have to see about their mission first. He saw the objective a few more meters away, if he had to take a guess it would be about 100 meters away. He also noticed that there was a gaping hole in the side of the ship, like someone shot a tank cannon at the side of the damn thing.

"Well I found the objective. Problem is that it looks like someone or something took a chunk out of the hull. Let's see what we can survey and see if we can find any survivors."

"Yeah. Whoever's theory is closest to the real thing gets uh...," Mao thought for a moment, thinking of a suitable prize for their light-hearted contest. "Maybe all the losers are uh...the winner's...servants for a day. Yeah, I got nothin' right now."

Finally breaking onto the beach, the sea water imparted sparkles in his eyes. He raised his arms up in the air, exclaiming "Finally!" before turning his head toward Duncan's observation. The ship did indeed have a huge hole in the side of its hull and it seemed to be a bit larger than a large fishing boat.

"Here we go, boys!" He started jogging towards the ship, starting out wobbly at first and slowly stabilizing as his feet got used to the uneven sand. "I'm sure we can think of something for the bet while we're doing this."

((Ugh this is so weird because my real name is Duncan...))

Mint wasn't used to being referred to as a "boy," but she knew Mao probably meant nothing by it. She followed, trying to think of a proper pot for the wager. Already knowing she didn't win, she certainly hoped it wouldn't be too costly.

Oh yeah, she didn't win. And her theory didn't involve anyone getting hurt. This looked like a situation where someone might have gotten hurt. Knowing this, Mint quickened her pace and broke formation, taking the front. "Keep an eye out for people, team! They've got to be nearby somewhere, right?"
