DUNGEON LOG - TELOVIA MINES

The day dawns bright and early - the same as most every expedition. The only difference is that you'll need to take the teleportation pad to Lodestone as a starting point - the gliders and drones are already there. There's clouds on the horizon, though, so if you're going to take a glider and go, you'd better get going.

There's some new additions, though, to the usual group of androids seeing you off. Tau is checking over the drones ready to carry those who can't or won't use the gliders, and Muon is practicing opening and collapsing the wings of a glider with bright yellow sails. She grins at anyone who approaches, shooting them a thumbs up.

"Don't worry about getting lost or falling behind! As long as Tau's here, they'll keep us all together."

And with that bit of bright cheer, it's off towards the mountains you go...

----

From the air, the remains of the mining town are almost impossible to tell from any other part of the forest. The trees - especially the old ones - are much thinner, and that's really the only sign of what's below.

But Muon's bright yellow glider, leading the way, dips down into the treeline before landing in an open space, and anyone who isn't paying enough attention to follow will feel their glider being herded in the same direction by Tau's power - control not outright taken, but more of a nudge, like, hey buddy it's this way. The group lands just beyond the border of the Fissure - a tiny stable spot in whatever's left of this world.

And a good thing, too, because landing in the Fissure itself could prove quite difficult...

Yours... Attempting to pick a fight. Mine is dancing? Confusing.

Attempting to.... [Karma. Is it acting like Karma? What the hell.] Dancing sounds kind of fun, at least.

If it's a new effect, then we're in a sub-Fissure. They might be close.

Neutrino, right? I hope so. This sub-Fissure doesn't seem too dangerous, if this is all it does. [Certainly not as bad as the main Fissure effect.]
nojohnyouare: Turning to speak. (they think i'm crazy)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Light and colour are reversed, too. Difficult. But not as bad as last time. ...Yet. We still don't know where Neutrino is.

[If the way Nagisa still hasn't actually located Mai based on sound direction is any indication, that's mixed up too.]

Probably pretty far in... I wonder if the androids are affected by the loss of senses, too. [Worst case scenario, they are and it gets worse if you go deep enough. Worst case scenario they're looking for an android that hasn't been functional for....a while, now.]
nojohnyouare: Dancing. (when it's clear)

[personal profile] nojohnyouare 2018-09-11 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
They could be. We've searched a lot so far. But nothing yet. ...How deep could this go?
theserpentsmiles: (Try to rein us in)

[personal profile] theserpentsmiles 2018-09-11 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
A couple of kilometers, maybe? But this isn't Earth, so....it could be different. It would help if we knew why they came here.

Packing and leaving without telling anyone... It must have been important. Especially alone without backup.
