2033 Olympics: HW Team: Boomslang & Contrail vs. Fusillade & Scattershot

Deep Ocean Cave

The large spacious underwater cave offers a temporary sanctuary for those who are not capable of prolonged underwater survival. Due to the angle of the entry tunnel an air seal has been created, trapping enough breathable air in the cave to sustain the average human for about six months. Yet for some strange reason, the air in the cave smells fresh and not stale.

Any geologist could tell you that this is an ancient lava cave, formed countless centuries ago under lava flow. Because of this the cave has a 'moulded' appearance, it's walls, floor and roof totally smooth and devoid of any sharp contours. The walls shimmer a tranquil deep blue colour, bathing the cave and all its contents in a pale blue light. Closer examination of the cave reveals that the light is produce by a bioluminescent species of fungi that lines the surface of the walls.

In the very center of the cave lays a pool of water which bubbles slowly from some deep underground spring. By the look of the small wisps of steam rising from the pool, it appears to be a hot spring as well. At the very far end of the cave, which slopes down slightly, is a water filled hole that drops down into the tunnel you entered by.

Fusillade

Boomslang

Down where it's wetter is much better, under the sea!

"Cousteau must have fixed this match from beyond the grave," Contrail declares, hands on her hips, as she surveys the cavern. Hey, caves are where car modes are actually useful! "Ugh, my windows are going to fog so badly. This humidity..."

"This is testing the limits of my Navy Seal thing," Boomslang complains. "I thought it was going to be a river, with fire on the banks. The producers didn't say 'on the bottom of the ocean.'"

"Who's idea was it to throw a bunch of aerial alt modes in a damn cave?" Scattershot scowls, opposite Contrail. He notices her and rolls his optics. "Ah. The triplechanger with a car mode. Figures." He puffs on his cigar a few times. "Does it really matter where Ah pull your arms off, Boomslang? It's gonna happen regardless of the local."

"Urrrf, I wanted to change partners," Fusillade gripes, scowling over at Boomslang and Contrail as if they were personally responsible. EVERYONE seems unhappy about the match for some reason or another, perhaps the contestants will take it out on each other.

"You asked for this pairing, big girl." Scattershot jabs a finger at Fusillade. "Makes no difference to me, Ah'd happily blow any of you three sky high." He gives her a parting glare and walks a towards the center of the cave, phasing in his rifle.

Contrail raises a finger, one optic wide and the other one narrow, and she protests, "My idea? I never said this was my idea! I said it must have been Cousteau's idea!"

It was her idea. She is a liar.

"I would have had the fight inside a giant forcefield bubble inside the sun. There would have been BEES in the audience. Glorious." She looks misty and distant as she says this and then snaps back to reality. "I geuss the Olympic board preferred classic team style, hmm?"

Fusillade says, "No switching up after the first time around, no." Fusillade admits to Catechism, giving Scattershot a raspberry."

"So not just choking out Scattershot and burying him down here, then," Boomslang whispers to the others while Scattershot's distracted by a sea urchin on his eye or something.

Contrail points out the floating drone cameras, "No such luck, Boomslang. We're on live television." She grins and waves at one of the flying cameras. "Or maybe we don't care if they see?" Contrail shrugs.

&lt;OOC&gt; Fusillade wonders if we can reschedule? A 10 pm start is kinda brutal. x_x

&lt;OOC&gt; Fusillade says, "I don't know when else I would do it though."

&lt;OOC&gt; Fusillade says, "Friday and Saturday are booked RL for me."

&lt;OOC&gt; Scattershot says, "Monday?"

&lt;OOC&gt; Scattershot says, "tomorrow i have an audition for a Japanese airline commercial"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "I could start at about 7pm on Monday I suppose"

&lt;OOC&gt; Fusillade says, "When are closing ceremonies supposed to be, TPish people?"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "When everything gets done, I guess. I think the Con FFA I'm running tomorrow is the last official event."

&lt;OOC&gt; Contrail says, "On Monday, I have two Clubs. &gt;_&lt;"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "just clubbin' away"

&lt;OOC&gt; Contrail clubs baby seals.

&lt;OOC&gt; Scattershot says, "What if we all just shoot at each other once and the highest score wins?"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "baby seals flying every which-way"

&lt;OOC&gt; Contrail says, "Actually, I am cool with that."

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "I guess we could just pose 'and then they had a fight' and run our attacks really fast"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "Or we could flip a coin"

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "Or all gang up on Scattershot"

&lt;OOC&gt; Contrail is morbidly curious to see how that would go.

&lt;OOC&gt; Boomslang says, "Okay, us first then since Scattershot is all bulky"
