warnings: n/a


[ Angela has been beyond the confines of the city's walls before, but only in her official capacity as perimeter guard. This is her first time venturing forth on a whim. She's accompanying her sometimes-brother on a mission of exploration, unsure what exactly is in store for them. She takes the lead, cutting through thick brush with her sword as the two of them forge a path through the wilderness. ]

I'm lucky I get coverage everywhere, the Quarantine WiFi signal is atrocious out here.

[ Nose buried in his phone so it lights up his face in electronic light that stands out starkly (haha) in the jungle, he looks up to pick his way over the severed branches and hacked foliage that Angela so casually leaves in her helpful, sword-wielding wake. He could scry to find their way but the compass app charting the route on his phone is so much more convenient. ]

Veer left, we're heading toward that giant old tree that looks like it's sticking its finger up at us.

[hevenly]

[ Angela ignores the comment about WiFi signal and follows Loki's instructions, heading left, hacking and slashing her way to the base of the gnarled old tree. ]

Just what do you mean to find here?

[ikols]

[ Hopping over a root. ]

A beast that Stephen Strange freed from the thrall of a guardian's spell. I want to see how the thing is doing, left to its own devices.

[hevenly]

[ That's more honorable a response than the "Somme ancient magical treasure or artefact" that Angela was expecting.

Arriving at the base of the tree, Angela lowers her sword but doesn't sheathe it, in case this beast is less than friendly. ]
