I hope people are proud of my failed attempt at using real runes in my IC.

Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

The icy wind whipped and whistled all around Coal, causing piles of snow to slowly crawl forward like glaciers. Snowflakes spun and twirled in the air, floating gently down before sizzling out of existence once near the heat Coal radiated. Save the wind, everything was silent.

“This is getting a bit dull,” Cerberus’ voice shattered the silence as if it was thin ice, his purred tone seemingly carrying on for miles in the cold desert.
“Are we in the right place?” Coal asked, lifting his head from his stick-figure drawing in the snow, white was all he could see. However, Cerberus’ eyes shone yellow as he scanned the area as he hunched his furred back, “Maybe a few feet off mark, I see houses over there.” Coal narrowed his eyes, it didn’t help. His human eyes couldn’t pierce the veil of snow and ice.
“C’mon,” Cerberus said as he lept off from Coal’s shoulder, beginning his walk towards the houses, “Let’s get to the place before you turn into an ice cube.”
Coal sighed and groaned as he got up, the heavy pile of forming snow on his back sliding off as he followed close, his runes in the snow following too. Why not prep a little magic as he waited?

Isa, the rune of ice, followed close at Coal’s heel. Causing a path of pure ice to form wherever it went.

Hagalaz, rune of storms, seemed to shift in and out of reality, while effectively blocking the snow storm and ice from harming Coal.

Raido, rune of movement, was directly under Coal’s shoe. What helped Coal traverse the thick snow, and what caused the other runes actually move.

The rest of his conjured up snow angels and snow-drawings were useless and were already cleaned up by the howling wind.

“Nervous? First mission and all, I’d assume you’d be,”
Coal shook his head at the familiar, “Me? Nervous? Nah, it’s just finding clues. I doubt it’d be too stressful,” the pair stopped as they reached the ice-caked homes, forgetting the original topic entirely.

“All this snow, and your team wants to get rid of it all using shovels?”

Coal shrugged, “They seem to want to do stuff mundane. Total waste in my opinion, what’s the point of having magic if you’re not going to use it?” Cerberus nodded in agreement as Coal raised his arms, palms splayed as the runes in the snow glowed a bright purple, “Much quicker this way.”
The snow shook. The snow on the roofs, under Coal, and falling from the sky, all seemed to shake. Large chunks of ice and snow were coming loose and tumbling down the side, creating larger piles of more snow, but more importantly, clearing the way to the door faster.

He heard the crunch of snow slowly getting louder, as a distant and blurred silhouette of a man grew clearer and closer, a few more dark specks joined, marching towards the frozen-solid homes. Cerberus' immediate response to hiss, while Coal waved friendly. His team was finally here, and on time to see his (hopefully) impressive handiwork.

Author's Note (Are ANs a thing here?)

I wrote this at like midnight, so my brain isn't working a 100%, so forgive any goofs here.

Quick survey:

1. Do people want obvious answers for investigation or are you ok with having to guess and search through my posts for clues?

2. Combat team is anyone really opposed to assigning a post order for in combat?

3. Character's favorite animal?

4. Character's favorite movie?

@jasonwolf

1. I'm fine with both honestly. Though having to search for clues sounds more fun! Don't make it too hard though.

2. This doesn't even apply to me

3. Cats, Duh.

4. Coal doesn't have favourites. If there is a movie he likes, he'll obsess over it until he grows bored. His "favourites" always change, but right now it's Zootopia.

@Witch Cat "The image was now a quiet suburban street covered in five feet of snow. It was somewhere in this neighborhood that the situation originated. The image narrowed to five houses the center three were coated in ice and far more snow." Ya haven't. If anything you're sitting in the snow about ten feet away. they aren't just frosted over they have OVER five feet of snow around them.

@jasonwolf

Oh, well then, I'll just make a quick IC post making Coal get over there. Sorry for goofing up like that!

@Witch Cat Well yes everyone should be there before you get to the door. Ergo when you reach the door I can post.

@jasonwolf

But I did reach the door!

Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

@Witch Cat If anything we could do with Baron actually going through the portal. I'll have Jaklo go last. But as soon as the investigation team is dug up to the front door I'm ready for them.

@jasonwolf

Wait, are you waiting for the investigator team to dig up the snow blocking the door? Or just to get to the location first? I could've sworm it was the latter.

Quick question, who else needs to post from the battle team?

Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

How's the story post going, @jasonwolf?
(P.S. No rush, just curious. You take however long you need)

Finally, Atlas can be in the major leagues. Who needs some fancy fun with a Latin name and enchantments and four barrels when I HAVE A GUN THAT SHOOTS KNIVES

I was thinking of turning the knives on for a gun anyways

@AdobeFlash

Yah but like, white people with guns scare others.

Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

@Witch Cat That's just a gun with a flip up bayonet...

@jasonwolf

It's a prototype!
