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.

Silvermist Hollow

[Jetshard hadn't been entirely sure what she'd been seeing at first - through the mist, the scene is a little indistinct, and it's not like she expects to find Pidonus asleep, here, on top of a woolbeast.

Actually, she hasn't previously seen the sheep, and given the general sleeplessness of the forest, this is a little concerning.

She's just gonna... head over there and check this out. And while she hasn't gotten close enough to any individual sheep to touch them, she's definitely stifling a yawn by the time she reaches the succubus.]


Pidonus?

Mmm... The land is green... Almost peaceful....

[And Pidonus just. Kind of rolls off the sheep towards Jetshard. The sheep walks away a bit.]

Home... Is nice...

I'm sure it is. [She sighs, and kneels in the grass next to Pidonus. She's not entirely sure whether the succubus is half-awake or sleeptalking, but either way, Jetshard's not exactly keen to shake her out of it. From what she's seen, humans startle awake less violently than trolls do, but she has no idea whether that would hold true for someone who only looks human, and then only mostly.] You're not awake, are you.

It's... A start. Gotta do better.

[Based on this, Pidonus is definitely still asleep. Still, her sword's out-and-out missing - the only sign of any gear being on her is that weird magic ring around one finger.]

Better... Can have better... No, my Queen's will is all I need...

[... An interesting cue, there.]
dubiouslychthonic: (you did not just say that)

[Interesting indeed. Jetshard's still not sure exactly what Pidonus's damage is, but over the past couple of months she's definitely noticed that there's something a little forced, a little unbalanced about her manner. Something a little disconnected about her stated goals and ambitions.

Granted, she's not at all sure whether whatever the succubus says while asleep will be reflective of reality, but...]


Better what?
have_hat_will_travel: (Huh)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2018-04-30 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pidonus shuffles a little in her sleep... But, surprisingly, murmurs an answer.]

... Future...

... Queen is future...

[The loyalty there - how every time she thinks of something better, it's overruled... It's like this 'Queen' has a presence in Pidonus' very dreams.]
