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.

[Pet pet pet. He loves this weird dog.]

You really can't make me stay if i don't want to, you know that right??
no subject
[Oh Prompto... He's smirking, now.]
no subject
it's not cool to make me stay somewhere i'm going to be afraid the whole time.
no subject
And do you really think out here is going to be any safer?
At least I can recognize that my fear of the dark is irrational, Prompto.
no subject
i have a lot more proof that being scared of ardyn is the rational choice than otherwise
[Izunia saw how completely beat up he was when he arrived on the beach. How easy it would have been to shatter him completely.]
no subject
And what is it that you think will happen? There is no Crystal here, no Niflheim, no Starscourge.
[To name a fear is the first step in defeating it.]
no subject
[The hush shepherd takes the opportunity to get between Prompto and Izunia and firmly knocks Prompto over onto his back so it curl up under his arm and put its head on his chest. Calm, boy. Shhh.]
1/2
Izunia pauses texting only long enough to push a nose out from under his scarf.]
Yes, because you deserve better than to have your life controlled by fear and especially better than to be forced out into the wilderness by it!
[He's upset enough that he has to move, phone and everything else disappearing into his Armiger for a minute as he paces around the clearing. Has to move, has to feel his body moving, has to make it real especially in this uncanny silence.]
no subject
If it wasn't Ardyn, would you doubt that I would protect you?
no subject
[It's pretty easy to imagine Izunia reducing Verstael Besithia to his component atoms.]
so thats it then. I dont even get to choose this one thing for myself.
no subject
And I know all too well that when your emotions are high, you make stupid-ass decisions, just like all people.
And having lived a life controlled by such stupid decisions myself, I don't want to see it happen to anyone else.
no subject
[And he flings his phone into the mist, startling a couple shhhhhhhheep. Yeet.]
no subject
You can pretty much hear the sigh, even with the dogs. Izunia wades off into the herd, his own phone vanishing into his Armiger again.
And before too long, Izunia yeets himself back across the clearing in a flash of blue, to drop Prompto's phone on his chest.
(He's also very nearly yawning, but no, fuck you, livestock induced fatigue.)]
no subject
no subject
Whenever he does open his eyes, Izunia is silently gone, giving him his space, though there is that one last message on his phone - ]
I would not push you towards anything I didn't think you have the power to overcome.
And if you wish to protect Noctis, then your place is at his side, and you know it.
[Just as they both know that Noctis, at least, will not turn and run away from this.]
