Enzo's been skiing a few times, including on Game Simulation field trips. It's one of those concepts that have made it down to sprite level by being copied from Games, so he's accustomed to doing it on synthetic terrain. He just hadn't expected that, in the off-season, so would Users.

"How do they make it?" he asks in fascination, digging his ski pole into the artificial snow.

"No, that'd be asking too much!" Dani hollers back over her shoulder.

That might have been sarcasm. Maybe.

Jack catches up to Maddie and helps her right herself, and they both take up the chase. There's barely a trail by this point, and it zigs and zags between trees and moguls. It's hard going, but they turn the swerves to their advantage, firing when they're turned sideways so it doesn't slow them down.

Enzo is hard-pressed just to keep up. He doesn't have a weapon, but no way is he going to miss this, even if staying behind didn't mean getting lost in the woods.

"Do you" duck low branch "know these" bounce off shrubbery "ghosts?"

"Never seen them before!" Danny hollers back. "And I wish I still didn't!"

Beat.

"Well, technically, I don't, but you know."

"Who cares who they are or where they came from?" Dani snaps. "The important thing is that they're going to get their butts kicked for trying to ruin our vacation!"

The quarry are, of course, having a much easier time than their pursuers. They're completely ignoring all the obstacles and skiing right through them.

Oddly, though, they're not getting too far ahead. Someone taking the time to think about it might find that suspicious.

Enzo doesn't have time to think about much of anything anymore. All the swerving he has to do is helping to slow him down a bit, but the fact is that the slope is nearly forty-five degrees and he's already got several cuts on his face from branches he didn't manage to avoid.

Finally, his skis knock one obstruction too many. He yelps as the right ski comes off entirely and he's left balancing on one foot, arms windmilling frantically.

Jazz isn't faring much better than Enzo, although she's managed to more or less stay on her feet after Danny helped her up.

She's skiing next to Enzo, and when he loses his ski she has to move quickly to avoid being knocked over by him.

The 'path' bends to the left up ahead, but instead, the ghosts veer right, plunging through the trees.

(Admittedly, there's not much difference between the official path and the direction they're going, except for the depth of snow.)

Danny zooms after them, and finds himself staring down in alarm at empty air.

"Everyone stop!" he yelps. "Stop! It's a..."

"CLIFF!"

Too late.

If it helps, Jack's ski-jump form is marvelous.

From:

a1enzo

None of the others have quite Jack's skiing skill, not that it would make any difference. Enzo, in particular, was already wildly out of control and lacking in any means of slowing down.

"Dani!"

From:

ami_imperfect

"Gotcha!"

Dani's staring in worry at the swiftly-shrinking form of her father, even as she grabs Enzo and then Jazz to keep them from following after him.

Danny swoops to catch Maddie, then dives at top speed after Jack, who is plummeting toward...

From:

CRASH!

Jack smashes straight through the roof of a building lower down the mountain, leaving a sizable hole.

From:

ami_imperfect

If she'd had a hand free, Dani would be facepalming. Even so, she pauses for a moment and shakes her head before diving towards the hole after him, still holding onto Jazz and Enzo.

Only her father.
