[she. points down at the ones that seem to be appearing in front of her eyes?? she will look between the prints and nie, and the moving sled - and then carefully step on to join him so she doesn't have to walk anymore too]
Ouch! [STOP, LET THE NEEDLES BE IN ONE OF THOSE LITTLE TOMATO PINCUSHIONS. That is what he pulls out, leave me alone.] --Dogs?!
[He almost drops the needles in his rush right back over to the sled with everyone else.] Where?! [THERE ARE NO DOGS. Wait. Now that he's closer, he can see the little prints appearing on the ground, and his eyes grow wider.
GHOST DOGS?
Stupidly, he reaches out to touch the area where they'd be because let him pet the dogs. :'(] Huh? I have this thing. [The tomato needle pincushion.
Also, he stands on the back of the sled? if it's a dog-like sled? Because of course he does.]
[The sled is big enough for all four of them, and the needles are partially in a cushion and partially just freewheeling, sorry Jin Ling. Once all of them are on the sled, they'll be able to see a large team of beautiful fluffy snow dogs! They're white and large and almost appear to be made out of snow themselves. Soft clouds...with all of them on the sled, the barking is louder now.
Jin Ling probably touched a butt without realizing it.
With all of them on the sled though the lead dog looks back and barks. Hope they're all holding on because the sled is suddenly picking up high speeds, much faster than a dog sled has any right to be. Into the snow they go! With the snowstorm around them and the dogs running, the four of them will see they're passing icicles and trees with shoes and jewelry hanging from them. At the speed they're going, some of the trees whip back and forth and if they aren't careful they will get smacked with some of these items. Will they try to slow the dogs down, or let them run?]
We do, don't we... um, how many of us know how to use them? I can, just a bit.
[but then jin ling is joining them and there are soft cloud dogs and oh no, they're cute. oh no they're FAST. the trees definitely smack huaisang with some of the jewelry, and he holds a hand to the spot, voice nearly a wail.]
Oww-!! Slow down a little, please slow down!
[he doesn't know how to control dogs, ok. he's also kind of trying to make a grab for what hit him as his hands fly up to where he was smacked, just to see if he can snag whatever it was.]
[oh - anya is immediately going to try to steady herself on the sled, presuming there's some kind of bar to hold onto for balance?? it comes with a little crouch as she looks up at the icicles distrustfully - ]
Careful - might fall.
[but she hears nie's panic and tries to think. her family never quite had sled dogs???]
Медленный! Slow!
[are there any reins for the sled dogs, are they on harnesses, is there a brake on the sled,,]
[WOW, WHOA. He slams his pricked (😒) hands on the sled after putting the cushion back in his pocket, holding on for dear life. It's a bit easier for him to dodge the icicles and other things, but his long ponytail snags a necklace when it whips out behind him, yanking some hair.]
F-fuck!
[He tries to hunch low, but raise up enough the dogs can hear him.] Aiya! What are you running so fast for?! Where are you taking us?! We're going fast enough! Slow down! I'll make you some meat sticks! [Good god why are they so fast. Please say there are reins or a brake.]
[Huaisang and Toi will find they've both been beaned with what's essentially bright and color costume jewelry! A pair of shoes in Anya's size and a matching purse also fall onto the sled, and the necklace pulls on Jin Ling's hair and now it's dangling from his ponytail. RIP.
There are reins but they're also ice cold! They're free to grab them and onto the sides of the sled, but as they're whipping this way down the path they'll also find that there's a bridge ahead with a large gap they'll have to cross. The dogs continue to run, and as they approach they'll see that among the snow occasionally there are flower petals floating through the sky.
At the mention of meat sticks, however, all dogs come to a standstill and the sled jerks to a halt right at the edge of that gap. It balances precariously, teetering back and forth over what looks like an icy, rocky river. But the dogs refuse to move now. At least they're able to see that hanging from nearby trees are diamond necklaces, bright bangles, purses, scarfs, and all sorts of fashion accessories.
They may want to think of a course of action because the longer they sit the more likely their sled will fall.]
anya is going to be just a little bit alarmed, trying to balance against nie’s weight so that they don’t just completely go plummeting into the river, looking up at the trees and she’ll test to see if they can grab a scarf without it falling???
because if that’s a viable escape route she’s going to see how many of them can get hauled up off the sled safely]
Sect Leader Nie! Stop! Just wait until we're re-- Both of you! Stop!
[God! He hops off very carefully, holding onto the sled so he can attempt to help Toi pull it and the dogs back. I almost typed spspsp, but that does not work on dogs. So he sticks his fingers in his mouth and gives a whistle.]
Come on! Back! [Sheesh.] Are we meant to jump it in the sled? [A pause.] We can sew something to get across the gap, but I'll have to jump it with the sled to get one side across.
[The dogs are stubborn, pulling against the reins. Some are backing up but others seem to be stamping their feet like they want to keep going. RUN? RUN. There's also a sudden round of barking as something in the distance howls back.
Good job not plummeting to death though. Anya will be able to grab a scarf, finding it to be sturdy and slowly winding around her wrist. It's an option, at least if they wish to abandon the dogs. I was going to say pulling the dogs alone won't help but backing up the sled is helping even if the bridge crumbles a little beneath them. An icy chill whips through the air, and now that Anya's grabbed a scarf several others begin slithering down from the trees.]
Do you really think we should...? What if we just get stuck up there?
[on the other hand... better than falling and dying!]
If... if we can't get the dogs to back away enough, then perhaps we should try going up.
[he'll try to help tug on the reins, he still doesn't want to get off the sled entirely. if it starts to fall though he will absolutely reach for a scarf.]
[she will look between the rest of them and honestly she just doesn't want anyone to get hurt on this adventure?? she frowns, letting her hand hold onto the scarf so at least one of them is sturdy, and so she can grab onto the others if necessary but - ]
Mm.... Hold scarf for balance then - Принеси! Throw something for fetch to get dogs to chase so they do not fall.
[she absolutely will not let these dogs just crumble but the crumbling bridge is definitely making her nervous if they don't move faster than this]
[The fucking HOWL. But since pulling the sled seems to help a bit better, he continues to do just that, narrowly missing the fucking yeeted branch if it comes flying over his head.]
Hey! Watch where you're throwing that! [Oh, the bridge.] ...It's breaking!
[The howl continues, echoing as the dogs in front of the sled begin to howl in harmony. Several of the dogs see Toi throwing the stick and bark, jerking the sled to the side as the bridge continues to crumble. Anya should maybe help the others and make sure they grab the scarves because the dogs are torn in two different directions, Several are trying to chase the stick, and several are trying to chase after the howl.
A team of dogs is pretty strong though, and the bridge crumbles as the back of the sled begins to dip toward the river. Looking ahead, the scarves above form a series of swings that are almost vine-like leading across the bridge and through the trees. Going up? Or going down...]
[OK SINCE WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS HOPEFULLY-- he can't help free all of them, probably, but he does have a sharp fan to try to help sever the reins, and scissors if it doesn't work? what if he just yanks a scarf toward a dog's collar. what happens.
he'll make that attempt, but after that, he's shoving his fan into his belt to reach up and grab on with one hand.]
Both of you-! Hurry!
[since anya is already holding on and all.
aaaaa he's going to hate thiiiis he's not ATHLETIC but it's HAPPENING so. he's just going to be up here now.]
[sHE REFUSES TO JUST LET THEM GO, and she's got one hand on the scarves but she's 100% not excited at all to just abandon them like nhs here,,
that said she's nervous that toi or jin ling might just straight up not grab a scarf at all so she'll grab onto toi's nondominant arm just in case since he's closer]
Jin Ling too - grab before fall! Tell dogs um - meat! Or treat! Other way!
[ the reins that nie huaisang didn't manage to cut, toi is going to pull his knife out to slice instead. he is going to do this until he really does not have time left and-- oh anya just grabbed him. ]
Whose stupid idea was this?!
[ he will, at least, make an attempt to try to grab at least uno dog, probably whichever one might be lagging more behind than the other ones, since he can't really grab multiple ones with only one arm it's fine. ]
We should have just kept going and jumped the damn bridge!
[Unfortunately, he does not have a knife. What he does have, is stubborn idiocy and a love for dogs!] We can't leave them! Hand me that! [To try to get them to focus, he gives another sharp whistle.] Back! Go back! Leave it! [And while Toi and Huaisang cut, Jin Ling bounces up to grab a hold of what scarfs and shit extra fell down for them, hopefully with Anya's help, too.
And he uses them to hastily start tying them around any dogs left if they didn't get picked up or get out of the way, and if he can once they're loose. HE ISN'T LEAVING ANY DOG BEHIND. He's wrapping every single one and yelling for more shit out of the tree until he can get the last one.
If he falls, he falls, but he isn't giving up until he's got the last dog, and then he's going to jump on Toi's waist because holy shit.]
[The scarf Huaisang's working with leashes the dog and yanks it up! It yips in surprise but the scarf swings on its own to yeet the dog and reconnect to another scarf. Goodbye! Onward it goes over the bridge and down the path. Anya and Huaisang will find the scarves are silky and sturdy, giving them enough length to swing themselves along. Time for some acrobatics practice!
The good news is that Toi frees another dog and he's holding onto it! The bad news is Jin Ling is also successful in tying up the other six dogs who are also yeeted across the bridge just like the others. However, even with Anya holding his non-dog arm, with Toi holding onto a dog and now also with Jin Ling holding onto his waist...
...down they go. The sled, Toi, Jin Ling, and the dog drop straight down toward the river. Maybe getting back on the sled will help, but bits of wood and jewelry are falling around them with the snow and flower petals. Try to steer, boys!]
nie huaisang watches them fall, clinging miserably to the scarves, shouting after them--]
Please don't die-! We can try to find you after...!
[but like, that's all he can do from up here....
he sniffles a little, shaking his head, and tentatively reaches for another scarf. too far. he guesses he doesn't have a choice but to try to swing, while he quietly laments that they can't just be taken across like the dogs.]
