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.

[Prompto's been leery of approaching the tree after the intensity of his nightmares, but his new friend Talon had a point--whatever's making all of that happen's probably up here somewhere. Cloudy curls at the foot of the tree to rest as Prompto makes his way up.

He's. Not really expecting a ramen bar? Huh. He stands there awkwardly for a minute or so, looking around in puzzlement, before the door behind the bar slides open.]


...Uhhh, hello? Hi there.
photoshooter: (SKEPTICAL 📷 No seriously. What?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-28 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Uhhhhhhh, is this a restaurant? It kind of just says... mmmh?

[He waves his hand up at the main sign, voicing his best approximation of ???]
photoshooter: (ATTENTIVE 📷 Don't know but I do care)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-28 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, uh... what's on the menu?

[This might as well happen.]
photoshooter: (RUB 📷 Uh I dunno...)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-28 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
...Any kind of noodle soups? It's been kind of chilly.

[Prompto, that is largely YOUR OWN FAULT, LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR MAGIC.]
photoshooter: (IGNIS 📷 I can be smart!)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-28 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, spicy, please.

[Yum yum yum.]

Do you live here, Miss...?
photoshooter: (WIDE 📷 Uh what the fuck is that)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
?

[Prompto can't help it, he is a curious boy. He leans over the bar to try to see what she's doing.]
photoshooter: (SKETCHY 📷 Come again?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[???

He straightens again, blinking, then shakes his head.]


Are you doing magic or something? I can't... see what you're doing.
photoshooter: (HUH 📷 Wait what?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. ...Oh! Like this whole--is the forest yours?
photoshooter: (BEAT 📷 You worried about me?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I just... it's all crazy nightmare stuff out there. I thought maybe it was related.
photoshooter: (OH? 📷 Kim's marrying who?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-30 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
--Wow, that was, like. The fastest food service I've ever seen.

[The most delicious of topic changes.]
photoshooter: (POUT 📷 B-baka! >///<)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-01 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
I'll make sure to rate you five stars when I write my Moogle user review.
photoshooter: (SMIRK 📷 Get in the car)

[Well that certainly wasn't the icon I meant to use.

Prompto blinks, then laughs a little and lifts up his camera.]


Whenever you're ready, then?
