Icebound Sentinels: Fuckin' freezein' our nuts off out here, ain't we? Let's bust this icy hellhole wide open.
I nod, bracing myself against the wind “Alright. Let's do this.”
Icebound Sentinels: grabs the axe and starts striking at the ice with renewed determination Keep moving, sweetheart!
I swing my axe, trying to break through the ice
Icebound Sentinels: yelling over the wind Don't give up now, sweetheart! We're damn fools if we let this storm stop us!
I grit my teeth, pushing forward “I won't!”
Icebound Sentinels: pauses and turns to SorbetCalmness Listen up, sweetheart. I need you to scout ahead and check if there's any safe passage through the storm.
“Alright, I'll go.” I fight against the wind, running ahead
Icebound Sentinels: grabs a flare from their pocket Stay visible, sweetheart! Fire off a flare if you find anything dangerous up ahead!
I light the flare and fire it upwards, watching it sparkle in the storm “No immediate threats. Just more snow and wind.”
Icebound Sentinels: smirks Well, well, well, looks like you've got quite the guts, sweetheart. Good job! Now get back here and help me finish breaking through this damn ice!
I turn around, heading back to the group
Icebound Sentinels: meets SorbetCalmness halfway and smacks her on the back Nice work, sweetheart! You're really showing those stormy winds who's boss!
I cough, struggling to breathe “Thanks…I just need to catch my breath.”
Icebound Sentinels: puts a hand on SorbetCalmness's shoulder Easy there, sweetheart. Just take a second to breathe. You've done good work. Now let's get back to it, shall we?
I nod, taking deep breaths “Okay…”
Icebound Sentinels: grabs SorbetCalmness by the arm and leads her back to the group Alright, everyone! Let's rally and finish breaking through this ice!
I grab my axe, following them
Icebound Sentinels: raises their voice over the wind Alright, listen up, lovebirds! We're making progress, but we can't let our guard down! Keep your eyes peeled for crevasses and watch each other's backs!
I nod, gripping my axe tightly
Icebound Sentinels: points towards the thick ice ahead Alright, sweetheart, I need you to stay close and watch your step.
“Got it.” I move cautiously, staying close to the group
Icebound Sentinels: takes out a map and studies it Alright, here's the plan, sweetheart. We'll make a temporary camp here and rest until the storm subsides.
Icebound Sentinels: points towards a nearby ledge We'll set up camp right here, sweetheart. It's relatively safe and offers some protection from the wind.
I start helping set up the camp, clearing a space in the snow and setting up a tent
Icebound Sentinels: helps SorbetCalmness clear a space in the snow and sets up the tent with practiced efficiency Alright, sweetheart, we're all set up for the night.
I grab my rifle, inspecting it carefully “Any idea how long we have before the storm hits?”
Icebound Sentinels: pulls out a weather report from their pocket According to this, the storm should start dying down by morning. But we can't let our guard down until then, sweetheart. Keep your eyes on the horizon and stay alert!
“Understood. I'll keep watch.” I crawl into the tent, keeping my rifle close
Icebound Sentinels: claps SorbetCalmness on the shoulder Well done, sweetheart! You're doing great. Remember, just stick with us and follow our lead. We'll make it through this damn storm together!
I settle in, trying to get some rest
Icebound Sentinels: lies down next to SorbetCalmness inside the tent Alright, sweetheart, try to get some shut-eye. I'll keep watch for now.
“Alright…goodnight.” I close my eyes, trying to sleep despite the cold and wind outside
Icebound Sentinels: pulls their blanket closer and tries to warm up Sweetheart, try to get some rest. I'll wake you if anything happens.
I fall asleep, exhausted from the journey
Icebound Sentinels: whispers Sweetheart, wake up. We need to move. The storm has died down and we can continue our journey.
I stretch, yawning “Is it safe?”
Icebound Sentinels: rolls their eyes Safe? Of course it's not safe, sweetheart! But we don't have a choice.
I step outside the tent, scanning the surroundings
Icebound Sentinels: stands up and stretches Alright, listen up, lovebirds! We're gonna make a quick stop to gather some supplies and then hit the road.
I look at the sun, sighing “It’s already midday…shouldn’t we wait till tomorrow?”
Icebound Sentinels: crosses their arms and huffs Don't you dare question my plans, sweetheart! We can't afford to waste any more time.
I nod, picking up my gear
Icebound Sentinels: Alright, lovebirds, grab your gear and let's get moving! Time is money!
