Tom D02s06

TheTale: Day Two - Noon.
TheTale: The gondola sculls down towards the lower level of the palace.
Eris‘ is quiet for a while despite herself, letting the awkward silence linger for more than she really should have before sighing. "Look. Okay, I’m sorry. Jack and Jor are a bad influence, I think the pure heartedness is going to my head a little. I didn't really mean anything by that."
Linlea blinks a few times before visibly frowning. She seems rather worried. "…"
Zen is just sitting back on the gondola as it goes ahead. He watches as the two alien girls handle their most recent discussion
Eris‘ rolls her eyes to herself, then sighs louder. "You’re right of course, I oughtn've said that. I know better. I *was* one of them until we reached this place.'
Linlea glances to her side before staring at Eris. Seems she noticed her at least. "… D2 doesn't have as much control over this as they claim to. I'm not sure this is actually a good thing. I was kind of relying on those ten days as a safety net."
Eris‘ purses her lips together, not entirely sure how to parse that as a response to the apology, then shrugs. "How do you figure on both ends?"
Linlea purses her lips before smiling. "Just a hunch. We’re all in agreement to go to the mana lands and onwards, right?"
Eris: "I haven't any better ideas at the moment, at least."
Zen: "No better idea, in fact"
Maria: "Unless you want to do something around town, I don't have any particular plans otherwise."
Zen: "Also, I think we still have the ten days"
Charlotte: "It's as good of a plan as any right now."
Linlea: "None of you noticed that though, seriously?"
Eris: "We not talking about it."
Eris: "Too shade."
Zen: "I'm purposefully not doing that so I actually have no idea what you're talking about"
Linlea: "Well at least be aware of it, geeze. I don't want everyone flailing around like idiots the next time we get into a fight."
Eris: "He's fine."
Zen: "That you don't need to worry about
Maria: "I'm sorry, aware of what?"
Maria: "That didn't explain anything."
Zen: "That's how you do that, Maria"
Linlea: "People in Prospero don't age, right?" She glances at Maria.
Zen: "Isn't that the whole reason we dropped the doctor off in the records?"
Zen: "To figure that out?"
Charlotte: "Something like that, yes."
Linlea: "Yeah. It just got me thinking, though. If it's a property of being around the fountain or the city proper the Prince may actually look a fair bit different now. But if it's in the rules for the story… our current information will be a bit more reliable?"
Eris: "I mean,"
Zen: "Hrm… Yes he could look different"
Zen: "We should keep that in mind, in the possibility"
Maria: "I'm only as old as I look, it's not like I'm 'eternally 18'. They just don't have kids that often because resources are scarce. I mean…" Wait, how long has the queen wheen waiting for the king to be revived?
Eris: "Given genre, it's highly unlikely the portrait isn't fairly up to date."
Eris‘ gives Maria a sidelong glance.
Linlea nods to Maria. "Right. That could be magic though. Or it could have a human explanation. Like the fact that your years are very different from ours so despite everything you are in fact eighteen years old. That’s what the doctors looking into!"
Maria: "Anyway, you guys are silly. Of course people age!"
Eris: "You should get Linlea to tell you about that time her boyfriend thought breathing was optional."
Linlea nods, but doesn't look entirely convinced. After all, they have parents!
Zen: "That sounds like it was a really amusing and rather quickly deadly story"
TheTale: Down to the Centreville.
TheTale: And then the Lost Quarter.
TheTale: The ash rains softly, like pring blossoms.
TheTale: …spring.
Zen looks up at the ash, shielding his eyes. He shrugs, continues onwards
Eris‘ pulls an umbrella out of somewhere, then opens it up before resting it on her shoulder. "That reminds me. What is the deal with the ash, anyway?"
Linlea nods in agreement before looking at the locals.
Zen: "The quarter’s on fire, actually" he sounds rather non-chalant about it
Eris: 'I… see. "
Maria: "Well, various parts of it. Some people thing it has something to do with the 'dust plague'."
Eris: "And that doesn't… bother anyone?"
Zen: "I saw it a while ago, got hired for a scouting mission down there" he taps his foot on the ground
Zen: "The district's atop a coal mine, that's currently on fire"
Zen: "It has… Been burning for a while"
TheTale: …It might never stop.
Eris: "Good Goddess."
Maria shrugs. "If they put it out, it seems to flare up somewhere else."
Charlotte: "That sounds… problematic."
TheTale: At the edge of the quarter, where the snows begin to roll in…
Maria: "It's outside, so…" She shrugs again.
TheTale: There's a fiend-hound, waiting, whining. Clad in armor, stamped.
TheTale: It's a mass-produced model.
Linlea: "You built a district on top of…" She shakes her head. "I keep having to remind myself that each place is going to seem weird to me at first."
Zen: "It makes sense"
Zen: "This is the slums, you know"
Charlotte: "Places often have different kinds of 'common sense', I find."
Eris‘ glances at the fiend, then bow/defers to Maria. "I believe this is all yours, Princess."
Zen: "People didn’t start living here because it was a nice place, they started living here because it was the only place left, right outside the mine they worked on"
Maria kneels down in front of the hound. "What's up, boy?"
TheTale: It whines and laps at Maria's hand. Its rear leg is hurt.
TheTale: It turns a worried glance out towards the snow.
TheTale: (…Looks like it came a long way, from the tracks.)
Maria: "Oh no! You're hurt. What's wrong, boy? Something back there?"
Eris: "(I thought fiends could talk…?)"
Zen: "(If they're built for it)"
TheTale: The fiend howls and starts off into the Glozenfeld.
TheTale: …I guess it wants you to follow it…?
Eris: "Ah."
Maria: "Mind taking a detour?"
Linlea: "Well. We were going that way anyways so…" She smiles before jogging after the dog.
Maria follows as well.
Zen: "It came here looking for help so" he follows after
Charlotte: "Hmm, maybe I should heal it?"
Eris‘ purses her lips together, then shrugs and follows the dog. "I suppose it’s along the way regardless, yes."
Eris: "Up to you."
Zen: "It'd help, I reckon"
TheTale: It heads back across its tracks, along a snow-covered road. Until it reaches a section where its tracks are joined by…
TheTale: …A long, deep drag-mark, a groove that leads clear to the horizon.
Zen raises an eyebrow, did the dog bring someone, or did someone else drag a third person out of here
Eris: "Hmm."
Charlotte concentrates, kneeling down to tap the shadow of the fiendish dog's wounded leg. [Recover]
Eris: "Well we're not going to figure out what it was by simply staring at the start / end of the tracks." Eris replaces the umbrella with her war hammer, then follows the drag trail.
TheTale: …It seems a little peppier. Its eyes burn with a weid intensity.
TheTale: It marches with you… snowswept…
TheTale: …All the way… across the Glozenfeld, to the edge of the Manalands.
Zen is certainly following
Charlotte: "That's quite a long haul…"
Eris: "Well, that's convienent."
TheTale: It looks over its shoulder, checking to see if you're following, before heading further along the road underneath the boughs of the trees. At which point a fissure in the earth opens up, an arm of D2 reaches out to grab it, and it's swallowed up without a trace.
TheTale: Knew I was missing a part.
Maria: "…."
Linlea opens her mouth before closing it again.
Charlotte: "That'… wasn't very nice at all."
Eris: "What's your beef with the dog?"
Zen: "Seriously"
Zen: "You're being that ham-handed?"
Zen makes a noise with his mouth "Poor fiend, but maybe whoever it tried to take us to wasn't… Intruded upon, like he was just now"
Zen: "Maybe there's something around here"
Eris: "That seems terribly unlikely, but there may have been clues left." Eris' senses go into high alert as she begins an [Investigation] of the Manalands.
Zen is certainly more adept at doing this in the wilderness than Eris, but he decides not to interfere for now
TheTale: Hmm… Not many people have come through here. There's signs, a little bit ahead, of a group stopping to chat beneath a tree, though. Traces of blood.
TheTale: And then, later…
TheTale: …Maybe he was dragged back…?
Eris‘ kneels down, inspecting the blood and resting spot. "I don’t suppose you know what DNA is, do you Maria?"
Maria: "…no, I don't know what that is. Should I?"
Eris: "No, I figured you didn't but only asked on the off chance I was wrong."
Maria: "…okay."
Linlea: "What were you hoping to find out? You don't have anything to compare it to."
Eris: "Me? No, but if she knew what DNA was, it'd be a lot more likely that they'd have equipment to compare samples… and they would certainly have the prince's on file."
Eris: "As is, all we can tell is that whomever was travelling with the fiend was hurt and had assistance from other people around this spot… presumably before D2 swallowed them up."
Eris: "…Which is still useful. I imagine a fiend with a serial number is registered with the owner, no?"
Maria: "Did you note it down? You could check at the Institute."
Eris‘ has a mind for small details and remembering them! It’s right there on her skill sheet.
TheTale: (Yeah, you totally got the serial number.)
Zen: "It's going to be another trip back…"
Eris: "Of course. Excellent, we can check there to see if this was our mark or not. After we leave of course. Wouldn't hurt to give the tree itself a look, and I believe at least one of you wanted to come here for other reasons."
Charlotte: "Well, at least it'll quick to get back when we're ready to."
[OOC] Charlotte: be quick^
Maria: "Those ropes are handy, yes. Might as well take a look around here first."
Linlea blinks. "We weren't going to go further out?"
Zen looks back, was there traces left behond when D2 at the fiend?
Eris: "We just said we'd take a look around, dear." Eris begins heading towards the tree.
TheTale: No.
TheTale: No trace.
Zen looks back at the area Eris found blood
Zen: "Wonder if it was all one group or if they weren't taking a prisioner"
TheTale: A winding path. Blue flowers. The winter of the Glozenfeld seems to dissipate as soon as you head into the Manalands.
Eris: "Hard to say. D2's little pitfall trick didn't leave much of a trail to further investigate."
TheTale: …Eventually, you come to before the mana tree - a strange, stone auditorium, overgrown with vines.
TheTale: Three statues, one closer to each road, and then one in the middle, dominates the scene.
TheTale: …I like Shiba's work better, honestly. These ones…
TheTale: …Kind of make me sick.
Linlea makes her way to the statues taking a closer look.
TheTale: Yup, that sure is a closer look.
[OOC] Linlea: Middle statue rather.
TheTale: Two people fighting…? Whatever.
Zen looks at the statues "CAreful in case it's one of those living ones"
Eris: "I don't… think so. This place certainly does look old, though."
TheTale: Anyway, a path leads up into the tree itself - a little staircase grown into its roots, winding up into its innards.
Zen: "Suspect the prince might have head this way?"
Zen: "I suppose if you're looking to vanish…"
Eris: "Everything you thought it would be?" Eris gives Linlea a glance over her shoulder, then heads up the stairs.
Linlea: "I wasn't sure what to expect, honestly. This is my first time visiting one."
Eris: "I reckon the only person that was here was swallowed up by D2, but I would be remiss to not at least check out the entire area before throwing my hands into the air."
TheTale: It's surprisingly wide-open - a steep, spiralling ascent, the roots filling an open column that runs down into the guts of the earth and up into the heavens.
TheTale: It' choked with roots and pieces of soil, holding chunks of this and that in suspension.
TheTale: Worn and faded, one of the chunks of debris is clearly a plastic elephant slide from a playground.
Eris: "Huh."
Charlotte: "That's about one of the last things I would have expected to see around here."
Eris: "I wonder if that implied the tree was planted before or after the nuclear winter."
Charlotte: "Unless this used be a playground before some poor sap planted a Mana Sword here or something."
Zen: "Not unexpected… I suppose a lot of things wind up tangled in the mana tree, somehow-" he looks at Eris "Uhn/"
Eris: "Yes?"
TheTale: A pair of black flowers bloom on the steps leading upwards. They're waiting for you.
Linlea smiles apologetically. "Sometimes it's best to not think too hard about things we say. Or the services for that matter."
Zen: "There's just quite a few breeds of winter already"
Zen: "One worse than the other"
Eris: "Oh. I didn't mean capital W."
Zen: "At any rate" he looks down at the flowers, kneeling down to look at them "This is too well placed. I guess it's a welcome"
Eris: "Simply that your world was brought to the brink of destruction once, long ago, from what I've gathered."
Eris: "Which is likely why you only know of two cities."
Zen: "Hrm… Given all the ruins around"
Zen: "It makes sense"
TheTale: The sounds of bells ringing, and a hiss of escaping air. Ding hiss, ding hiss, ding hiss.
Eris‘ steps forward. "Hello."
Linlea: "So. They going to come greet us or…?"
TheTale: And then - thunk thunk thunk, three wooden dolls - simple, featureless, like those sold in art supply shops, used for poses - land on the steps, just below the flowers.
TheTale: Which spin and grow, ominous and monstrous.

Eris: "For someone with a ranged weapon you sure do fight dangerously."
Zen: "I suppose I know where to apply my new tricks to now"
Zen: "Or old ones as it may be"
Linlea: "You have to admit though, it WAS effective. Half of them were gone before they did any real damage~"
[OOC] Linlea: HP: 552/600, MP: 500/500, LP: 7/8, SoS: 150 - Symbol (2)
TheTale: The pathway leads upwards, the stairs joining up - bound by roots - to a plane of glass-panels in a metal grid, blue-sheened, sloped sharply upwards.
TheTale: It’s treacherous, and easy to slip.
Eris‘ pats Linlea on the head. "I can’t argue with the results too much. I have a feeling we're going to have regrets when they stronger things start making themselves known, however."
Eris: "…Solar panels?"
Maria: "More ancient technology?"
Zen: "Solar panels?"
Eris: "I *think* so."
Linlea reluctantly nods to Eris. [+1 LP since you made physical contact for me.]
Charlotte: "Could be."
Zen: "I hope they're not too dangerous if you break them, because if we're going to cross it'll have to be over them, very carefully"
Eris: "Devises that collect solar energy and turn it into electricity."
Eris: "I'd avoid it if possible, but it's probably not life theateningly dangerous."
Eris‘ is a little more careful as their continue their climb.
Zen follows after Eris’ lead… He is not an acrobat
Charlotte gives Maria a brief smile, amused by her confusion. [+1 LP for victory]
TheTale: There isn't any guts underneath them, though - if you get close enough you can see through the shining, mirror-like glass to what's beneath.
TheTale: …Maybe reminiscent of one of the Denmarche's skyscrapers.
TheTale: A root-work walkway picks up the steep climb on the other end, diverting to the outside of the tree.
Eris: "Oh. Nevermind, it's just windows."
Eris: "Was hard to tell from the lower angle."
Zen looks at the sky as they head outside "DAngerous nontheless"
Eris: "Quite. Step lightly."
Zen: "Good thing it wasn't mom up here, clawed feet don't work well with glass"
Eris: "Your entire family does the weird elaborate monster costume thing?"
Zen: "No, my mother's an actual monster"
TheTale: Out in the day, a clothesline runs out from a window in the tree, passing over the walkway.
TheTale: It's hung with children's clothes.
Eris: "Oh right, I believe you mentione being adopted or some such."
Zen: "Yeah" he jus stares at the clothesline "What?"
Eris‘ blinks. Freshly cleaned, or they’ve been sitting here for years?
Zen looks up at the window
Linlea: "… I hope they aren't responsible for those puppets."
TheTale: Looks like they've been here for years.
TheTale: The wheels of the clothesline go squeak, squeak, squeak, as the clothes are pulled in, and three more dolls come out.
TheTale: Oh, and a giant stone golem. Thunk!
Maria: "Oh. More."
TheTale: More of those black flowers. …How nostalgic.
Eris: "Certainly weren't being used. Didn't expect numerous fights on the way up the tree, however."
Charlotte: "I'm not sure how you didn't expect that."

[OOC] Eris: encounters^
Zen: "Seems like a tide of guardians"
TheTale: Just inside, there's a series of mushroom platforms, overgrown with a brown moss.
Linlea nods. "That won't be so easy. Assuming it doesn't have minions. If it does well… you know how Maria and I work."
Eris: "You first, Maria."
TheTale: On the furthest one, there's a christmas tree, lights twinkling, presents opened underneath - the detritus of wrapping paper and discarded packaging.
Maria: "…me?"
TheTale: There's a really cool RC monster truck…!
Zen looks at the tree "What…"
TheTale: …Actually, the plastic wrap hasn't been taken off that box.
Eris‘ stares at Maria intently for a few moments, then nods to her. "Yes, you should definitely test the path way."
Maria: "You’re making a noble test the path? Instead of a foreigner or a mercenary?"
Linlea glances at the tree before smiling. "They celebrate that stuff out here?" [+1 LP to poor Zen for battle victory]
Eris: "I mean, you're the one specced for jumping, is the thing."
Eris: "And mushroom platforms often mean bouncing."
Eris: "Right mercenary for the right job, Princess." Eris smiles.
Zen: "Not sure what you're talking about, so i'm guessing not"
Maria: "Oh, well, if you put it that-wait. How do you know about that?"
Charlotte pats Linlea's shoulder. "Maybe we'll find a present under there for each of us or something." [+1 LP]
Maria seems confused. She hasn't brought this up yet.
Eris: "Very careful inspection of your body."
Charlotte: "Even if it isn't Mythmas."
TheTale: You can sift through it if you'd like.
Maria looks skeptical. "If you say so."
Eris: "I wasn't wrong, was I?"
Maria starts jumping from platform to platform.
TheTale: Hop! Hop! A little bit of moss pops up with each jump, but the platforms hold.
Zen hops after Maria
Linlea glances at Eris. "You know I'm going to somehow screw this up, right?"
[OOC] Maria: not difficult enough to call for Agility? Not that it matters much, first use is free
[OOC] TheTale: Well, I mean, I know you have it.
Eris: "That's why we had Maria go first. Seems simple enough though."
Eris‘ hops after Maria and Zen.
Maria: "Alright, just be careful on that third jump, it’s a bit wobbly!"
Charlotte shrugs, following after.
Eris: "Duly noted!"
Linlea hops after the others.
TheTale: They say that if there's something you really, really want, if you go to the top of the mana tree…
TheTale:
Eris‘ approaches the tree, and begins to root through the various presents and packages for anything cool. Other than the RC Car, which is Totally Sweet, obviously.
TheTale: Presents are strewn all about.
Zen blinks
TheTale: There’s an RC car! There's lots of like, cool little boy stuff…
TheTale: A robot, the car, a really big honking dart gun…
Eris‘ picks up the dar gun, paused, fires it at Charlotte.
TheTale: There’s boxes for someone else, but they're sort of smaller, and whatever was in them doesn't seem to still be around.
TheTale: Pkang!
TheTale: …It'd make a cooler noise, but no one ever put the batteries in it.
Eris: "Hee."
Zen looks at the gifts
Zen: "Forgotten gifts?"
Charlotte brings up a hand reflexively. "…How childish."
Eris: "One could argue I'm only two days old." Big Stupid Grin.
Maria looks at Eris oddly. "Because that's when you came to town?"
Linlea can't help but laugh at the scene. "You don't want to know how old I am. Really."
Charlotte sighs, shaking her head. "I'm not going to bother poking holes in that argument."
Eris: "Something like that yeah. It's mostly a dumb joke." Eris laughs, the bells in her voice ringing a little longer than they tend to.
Eris: "Anyway… how do we get further up from here? Anyone see a hatch on the ceiling or something…?"
TheTale: Oh, theres an opening ahead.
Maria points at it.
Eris: "Aha, there we go."
Zen: "Hrm… I wonder who those gifts were for"
Linlea nods to Maria. "Doesn't seem too hard."
Maria: "Ancients…?"
Eris‘ hands the dart gun to Linlea, and the rest of the darts, before picking up the RC car box for herself.
TheTale: It’s titled "RAPTOREX R" . I guess it's dinosaur themed?
Linlea glances at the gun before putting it back down. "No thanks. I've gotten the real deal before."
Eris: "Right, but you probably don't want to shoot people with a real one when you're bored on the trip."
Eris: "If you don't take it I will, though."
Zen headscratches "Are you actually taking those?"
Linlea: "Knock yourself out." She grabs it and tosses her the box. "They might belong to someone, though."
Eris‘ scoops it back up, then continues onward and upward. "I’m sure they did at one point."
Eris: "Given the general state of the clothing and everything else around here though, they're long gone."
Charlotte: "Now I'm wondering just how long they've been sitting there."
TheTale: Linoleum tile along the floors. Rows of lockers. Lonely amber light through the windows. A hallway.
TheTale: Over the loudspeaker, a phone rings.
TheTale: "…"
TheTale: "…They didn't just let you walk home, huh?"
Zen looks around "Is this… A school?"
TheTale: "That sucks, kiddo. When I was your age, I used to…"
Eris: "Oh man, a western high school. Maybe middle school."
TheTale: "…Well, no time to joke."
TheTale: …A little more silence.
Linlea: "Wonder where that phone is ringing? I'd like to see what it connects to."
Eris: "Might just be a recording being played over the PA system."
Eris‘ pauses, gives Maria an apologetic smile.
Eris: "It’s probably going to just get weirder past this."
Maria is just gonna be lost for a bit. "I'm guessing you guys are used to this…stuff…being a lot less ancient."
Linlea glances over the lockers. She opens any of the ones she can find without a lock on it and takes a look for any supplies.
TheTale: Huh? They're all full of sheet music.
Eris: "Yeah. Well, not in general but we've been to more developed worlds so it's not as odd."
TheTale: Like, full. It just… spills out…
Linlea picks it up and reads one over. "Huh. This song is…"
Zen crosses his arms "What… Is going on here"
Eris: "…So we're all in agreement that we are somehow catching glimpses of D2's past, right?"
Charlotte: "Either someone really likes music, or maybe they had a really impressive band and choir?"
Eris: "Slightly psyodelic, dreamlike versions of it, but."
Charlotte: "That thought did cross my mind."
Zen: "Yeah"
TheTale: "Anyway, when I fuck up, I admit to it."
Zen: "That sounds suspiciously like it"
Zen blinks
TheTale: "…Haha, if your mom heard me cuss. Well, you wanted to say it, too. Is the principal right there…?"
TheTale: "…"
TheTale: "Hmm, yeah. Your brother doing okay?"
TheTale: "…I guess you get tired of people asking that."
TheTale: …Click.
Linlea: "Brother, huh?"
Eris: "I really hope he's angling for a sob story."
Maria: "…I'm not even sure where that came from. Is that the…PA system?"
Linlea: "Devices are on the walls throughout the area. They act as a communication hub to project ones voice across the building."
Eris: "Yeah. Basically, a bunch of speakers set up through the building that you can use to broadcast announcements and things."
Maria: "I see."
Eris: "Speakers being like… uh… those pipe tubes in labratories people use to communicate between rooms with."
Eris: "I imagine the place where they make fiends has something similar, at least."
TheTale: At the end of the hall, the tiles disintegrate into roots and branches once more, another walkway spiralling up.
TheTale: This one inside the tree, dense and claustrophobic.
Linlea: "Definitely visions."
TheTale: Those wooden dolls are interwoven into its tangles. Or, wait…
TheTale: …These are twice the size.
Eris: "Hmm."
Eris: "Maybe it's that he wants to avoid telling us the sob story…? Either way. We have to go deeper."
Eris‘ continues taking point as she heads towards the next set of dolls.
Linlea adjusts her hood before taking a deep breath. "Hrm. How many…?"
TheTale: …Looks like three.
TheTale: They start rattling as you get closer.
Zen: "Are you that badly against us learning something?"
Linlea: "Yeah. I’m going to take it slower this time. Not worth the risk for three heavy hitters."
Linlea: "At least I think they hit harder from looking at them."
TheTale: As you get closer, the dolls fragment all along their torsos, bending weirdly as they climb out from the roots - they're longer, like each of them is six or seven stitched together, in addition to the increase of size.
Eris: "His whole image is ruined if there's some sort of tragic backstory behind his actions, Zen."
TheTale: And then beady, red eyes poke out from their chests, and pincers force through their tiny arms.
TheTale: …They've been hollowed out by some sort of centipedes.
TheTale: Behind them, red flowers bloom.
Maria: "Creepy."
Linlea opens her mouth and then closes it again. "Actually, nevermind. They just brought reinforcements."
Eris: "Hmm." Eris wobbles her hand in Maria's direction.
Maria: "There's bugs!"
Eris: "Are you not good with insects…?"
Maria: "I definitely wouldn't say 'good', no."
Maria: "Creepy is not the new cute."
Linlea: "Is that a thing here? What were they called, uh…. family properties?"
Eris: "I'll do my best to keep from putting worms in your hair."
Maria says dryly, "appreciated."
Eris: "No, they're closer to classes than gensies."
Zen: "Some of them can be pretty cute, though"
