IC DOUBLE TROUBLE

[Orchamut]

He looks down, amused, sort-of tapping Thudd's side to try and get him to scoot even more in the way of the doorframe.

"No. Just curious as to when you'll grow the spine to finally throw something interesting at us. I'm getting rather bored of the repetition."

Thudd grunts and pushes himself through the door.

 

[Fluxxation]

Thudd grunts and pushes himself through the door.

A-HO has to hastily duck and press himself flat against the back of the beast, so as to not get scraped along the doorframe like butter.

 

[Asternove]

The goose and the chick goes into the door together.
"Hey, what do you think there will be?"
"Dunno, we maybe should just go in to check."



*facepalms*

HAZ-El strides in slowly, gazing ahead, lens locking with the central building(?) adorning the landscape in the distance.

(It appears to be a beige temple made of large stone bricks, a board of symbols you can't quite decipher at this distance resting in front of a double door. There doesn't seem to be handles...)

(A-HO would hear a shrill mechanical sound reminiscent of laughter.)

(Grace follows them into the next area, glancing around at the landscape. Her lower legs quickly get covered in the thick layers of dark mud beneath the swamp, trees thrice her size looming over her.) "New place, huh?"

(The girl lifts her leg up for a proper view, the mud dripping from it.) "Rather messy..."

 

[Orchamut]

Thudd seems much more comfortable here than he was in the previous areas.
He takes a minute to lie down in the mud.

 

[ThatMossCreep]

Muddy around here.
No , Sherlock.
Ugh, now I'm wondering if there's in here... Thanks.

 

[Asternove]

No , Sherlock.

(Grace trudges through the mud, straight ahead.) “There better not be!”

 

[MoultonLava]

(Nelote walks out, following Hazel. Gus also walks out.) A temple. Didn't think I'd see one of those here.

(Inspect the tablet?)

 

[MoultonLava]

(Inspect the tablet?)

That tablet looks interesting... I'll look closer.
(dog noises)

(There are five small, thin (5cm x 5cm x 1cm) rectangular prisms arranged on a small ridge of beige brick in front of the board made of a similar material; it might resemble Scrabble letters to some. A sixth, or at least half of it, lie broken on the first of six “slots” of the board. The other part(s) seem to be nowhere nearby…)

(There are two obelisks made of a grey stone, about as tall as you are symmetrically on each side of the board. Read?)

(yes)

 

[Asternove]

(yes)

(Hand-carved from the stone, the first one reads...)
("Seek four pillars so thou can find,
the answer to a challenge of the mind.
Once laying the symbols in their space,
Thou can escape this wretched place.")

(The second one reads...)
("This has no purpose symmetry just looks nice move on")

 

[Asternove]

(The swamp group-- @ThatMossCreep you wanted a ping for this iirc-- might see a campfire start burning to the right of where they entered. Grey smoke rises endlessly up into the sky, almost to invite you in.)

Ooh... Fire...
Moron.

 

[Asternove]

Ooh... Fire...
Moron.

(Grace looks over, curious.) "D... do you wanna head over there?"

 

[Lin Xueqing]

(Crap, stopped receiving notifs)

Xueqing is immediately attracted by the campfire.
"Eh?"

(Grace looks over, curious.) "D... do you wanna head over there?"

"Mhm, maybe."

 

[ThatMossCreep]

(Grace looks over, curious.) "D... do you wanna head over there?"

*Starts wandering towards the smoke* Fiireee...

(Crap, stopped receiving notifs)

(I live in fear of this)

 

[Fluxxation]

(My notifs also went kaput…)

Gazing about, HAZ-EL waits for Cinnamon to make a decision on which way to head.

She immediately points at the temple-like structure ahead.

“Let’s go over there!”

“If… our friends want to… of course..”

She gazes around at the others, clearly waiting to see if they also want to follow along.”

Thudd seems much more comfortable here than he was in the previous areas.
He takes a minute to lie down in the mud.

“…. If you get my frame dirty, I’m withholding solution from you for a whole hour. I JUST finished getting sand grains out of my joints.”

Ugggh
Notifs went on leave
AGAIN

Thudd turns his gaze away self-consciously.

(The swamp group-- @ThatMossCreep you wanted a ping for this iirc-- might see a campfire start burning to the right of where they entered. Grey smoke rises endlessly up into the sky, almost to invite you in.)

He looks over at the smoke, seeming a bit intimidated.

“…. If you get my frame dirty, I’m withholding solution from you for a whole hour. I JUST finished getting sand grains out of my joints.”

Thudd pushes himself back up.
