Mountains

[close] ...March 22 For one day only, ask me anything.

[close] "Go to Alaska," they said. "It'll be fun," they said. They couldn't have been more wrong. The day is a beautiful day as you board the small plane called Canso. The sky is blue, the sun is shinning and there isn't a cloud in the sky. The airport is located in a small town in the Florida Panhandle and it is hot. Everyone is encouraged very strongly to buy a blanket, even a jacket. The airline supplies these things, of course, but everyone would want their own stuff. No one really listens, though. The plane takes off and for a long time, everything is fine. You're sailing over the beautiful, unsettled, wild and free Canadian mountains. You're starting to regret not buying a blanket when they seem to run out. There is a sudden burst of turbulence as we enter a storm. A flight attendant goes to check on the captain and there is a scream. Then, there is an unmistakable feeling of free falling... You wake up freezing. It takes a while to registered that the smell is blood. It takes a while to realize that you've crashed. It takes a while to realize that the plane is on fire... There's no sign of civilization anywhere. Search parties have been sent out and there's nothing. Can you survive against the elements? Against the grizzlies? Against all odds? Or will you be one of those who perish? Or will you be one of those who just up and disappears? This RP takes place in the dead of winter. So, it is dark and snowy, all the time.
