DUNGEON LOG: AMESTA FOREST

Hello everyone!

Up and the others think that we have enough stabilizers ready for the next expedition! We're going to the forest to the south this time, but it shouldn't be too far for anyone to walk. If you're REALLY going to complain, you can talk to Top on the roof and catch a ride on one of the drones like before.

The scenery's really nice, but there's definitely some kind of magical effect going on in there - as far as we can tell, the day doesn't progress inside the forest. It's stuck a little while after sunset - probably when the Fissure first appeared? (°ヘ°)

Be careful out there! Don't be afraid to call for help if you need it and we'll send a drone your way! o(^▽^)o And Strange says no stupid stunts this time, got it? (;¬д¬)

You'll probably see a big tree on your way there, before you're under the cover of the forest! That's the Infinity Tree, it's a really big willow. Charm can probably tell you more about the mythology if you're interested. He's gonna meet you guys there at the end of the expedition, so try to work your way in that direction as you go!

(。・ω・。)ノ See you when you get back!


After Down's message, characters will find things set up much the way they were last time on the roof. Top is making last-minute adjustments to the drones, and there's tables with food and medical supplies set out - the latter a little sparse compared to last time, so hopefully you kept your first aid kits from before. The table of stabilizers, on the other hand, is much more full.

On your way, you might also see some of what the construction drones have been putting together so noisily these last few days - there's the metal shell of a building, similar to but smaller than the Station, to the immediate west, just off your path to the forest in the distance. Nothing much indicates its function as of yet, though there are significantly more windows.

To the southwest stretches the border of Amesta Forest - about a mile distant, though still easily within sight. As promised, the Infinity Tree sticks up from the far edge, easily visible for those who need a landmark either now or later in the dungeon. If you get lost, you can probably find your way up a tree somewhere to get a perspective on it, and which direction to head in.

The silver mist doesn't begin until some distance into the forest, the time of day gradually changing to the eternal twilight mentioned as you approach the boundary of the Fissure itself. There's no distinct border, just a slow shading towards late afternoon and then sunset while the mist increases around you.

And as the mist wraps around you, and exhaustion you might have felt from the walk out here starts to evaporate... You've well and truly arrived, now. Better keep your eyes open.

[ Greetings, Prince Nyactis. There's a perplexed looking Miss Evergarden on the approach, looking to see where all the noise is coming from. ]

... where is the cat?

[ She hears a kitty, she does not see a kitty. ]

[ What up gurl. ]

Right here, [ he says, gesturing to the kittehfly on his chest. ] I thought I was hearing things, but she's a little winged cat.

[ C–cat... even saberfaces aren't immune to the charms of tiny butterfelines. Don't mind her if she stoops next to him so she can get a proper look. ]

She's very small. [ thanks, captain obvious. ] Is it a kitten?
nightcure: (zry8gHg)

pushes you over

[ Cute... He doesn't mind. ]

I think she's fully grown, actually.
shiritai: (vi2023)

that's assault and i'll have you banned for it

... Then the young of these cats must be positively miniscule.

[ the tiniest kitten you could imagine ]

It seems quite docile for a wild animal, though.

[personal profile] nightcure 2018-04-28 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Right? I'd love to see how small they are when they're babies.

[ scritchy scritchy. ]

Yeah. I think she just likes me, though.
shiritai: (ve_010)

[personal profile] shiritai 2018-04-28 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[ Does... does she look disappointed? ]

So the others would not be quite so agreeable to that sort of treatment.

Maybe, maybe not.

But I think they might like you.

[ ! ]

What is it that makes you think that, exactly?

[ don't get her hopes up only to dash them ]
