Let's Climb Ship Mountain!
Last week, concerns were expressed in the local newspaper that the weather might be too wet and gloomy for a charm quest. But those concerns were way off.
It was too wet and hellishly windy. Hopefully everyone dressed warm!
At the foot of the mountain, Imelda's tent looked like it was going to be blown away at any moment. The tethers that held it down creaked ominously, and the tent itself leaned hard with the howling winds that whipped at the cheap canvas and gaudy trappings. Even Imelda was starting to get a headache with her little bells and chimes clanging noisily non-stop. But a job was a job, and the fortune teller had to at least look like she'd expected this.
She hadn't, but that was beside the point.
Imelda huddled in front of her crystal ball, her wide shoulders buried in silks and furs. A portable heater was fastened under her table to keep her slipper-clad feet warm as she waited for the participants to approach. Ten men, ten women. It was almost like fate!Except one of the men was technically a robot, but he had 'Man' as part of his name, so it totally counts.
"Come come, children, hurry in! One person at a time! --No, not you ladies, stay out there." Bitch. "Come, and I will tell you the name of your soulmate who will guide you unharmed to the top of the mountain!" Or just whoever she decided to secretly ship that person with.
[OOC: Two threads below! One is for getting your partner assigned, one is for actually scaling the mountain. Each pair starts at a different point, and will be warped there after consulting with Imelda. Unless I really am psychic, no one is matched with their soulmate. Imelda sucks. But you have an opportunity to get a charm if you either A. Find your true ship which will result in a clear path and no monsters at all, or B. Fight to the top, defeat all the monsters, and kiss your partner like whoa. Some of you may get a boss fight if you say you're okay with one, but it's not guaranteed. Players can otherwise NPC the monsters and obstacles they face. Those who succeed each get an Everglade charm. Only those who signed up for the quest are allowed to participate, but anyone is welcome to show up and cheer/jeer on their favorite "couples". Those who would rather stay at home and watch the events on TV may do so, as it will be televised.]

SO DISAPPOINT only not it's cool :D!
Are you sure? [ Getting back down all by yourself? ...well he was pretty capable so she couldn't say he'd really need help. STILL. If he wanted head back down alone, she wouldn't stop him - she didn't want to force him into socializing with more people than he could handle. Yet. She glances back at Natsu. ]
Did you see any of the other teams on the way up, Natsu? [ Because she didn't. ]
Never too late yo
You sure? We could probably head down together. We're goin the same way.
[He turned his attention back to Lucy after that.]
Nah I haven't seen anyone. We thought the caves might be a shortcut but then we got separated and then I got lost and I wound up here.
it's too late to apologize IT'S TOO LAAAATTEE
Hurry up then.
[if they're around then he can just use them to his advantage. he really has no other reason to trust humans, honestly. adam is already moving on ahead of them both, however.]
NO SUCH THING AS TOO LATE :D
Right behind you. Come on Natsu..! [ She paused a little, tucking her hands into her pocket. ] Maybe the others got to the top of the mountain and went back down already.
[ Or opted not to go and.. what's this thing in her pocket? Puzzled, she closed her fingers around it to draw out the shiny charm, turning it over in her hand. And... um. Natsu gets a slow glance for a minute or two, before she quickly stuffs it back into her pocket and looks away with a blush. NOPE YOU SAW NOTHING. No way .. it had - was it some kinda joke? ]
