Terre Haute

[paradisamods]

[Today, our intrepid explorers have finally made it to Terre Haute. It’s mostly grassland, and on the outskirts small spotted lions, about the size of leopards prowl around. They seem to be more interested in the strange antelope running around than in any people, however. Towards the edge, lies a cliff face, looking out to sea, on occasion giant whales can be seen breaching the water.

Of the weird thing they came to look for, in the distance is a cylindrical shape, lying on its side. But between them and it is a strange village. One made up of excessively tall wooden huts, all of which have electric lights, turned on, though how they’re creating such power is a mystery, they are still very much inside the dead zone.

The residents of this off little village are wandering around, going about their buisess. The residents being a group of bemused looking giraffes. Perhaps you will even see some familiar non-giraffe faces milling about.

Welcome to Terre Haute]

DANCE HALL

[paradisamods]

[Inside another wooden building, giraffes are dancing. It probably looks as strange as it sounds. They’re taking this business very seriously however. There is no smiling or laughing. Dancing is not a thing of merriment here, it seems]

[secondchances]

[Steph stands at the doorway.]

This is officially the strangest thing I have ever seen.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya stands next to her. ]

Even the ponies had nothing on this.

[secondchances]

Not even close.

Where I'm from, giraffes don't dance. They just stand around being boring.

[wolfchild]

Is that what they are?

[ Westeros: too cold for any of these animals. ]

[secondchances]

Yeah. But they definitely don't act like people...

[comsubin]

[ Stopping by to peek inside himself, and... oh. ]

You haven't seen much in your life, have you?

[secondchances]

Oh, no. I've seen a lot, ranging from talking ponies to giant spiders and blue pilgrims ripping the hearts out of pimps.

This is just crazy.

[comsubin]

[ Blue pilgrims ripping the hearts out of pimps... he wants to hear that story. ]

Is that so? You're really opinionated about how people like to dance.

[secondchances]

On how giraffes like to dance.

[schrodingersghost]

...Well, I wouldn't say weirdest. But it is definitely in my top ten.

[secondchances]

[Slowly looks at him.]

Seriously?

[schrodingersghost]

...Unfortunately.

[He didn't sound very happy about it.]

This is only about as weird as Dad's last father-son fishing trip.

[secondchances]

Were there talking fish?

[hellshaped]

[That's... yes. Okay.]

I might have to agree with you there.

Is it just me, or do they look really...

[secondchances]

Really... serious?

[hellshaped]

Yeah... as serious as a giraffe can look, anyway.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer's just going to be in the shadows near the doorway, watching and trying very hard not to laugh.]

[paradisamods]

[Here, have a blank stare giraffe.]

Could you straighten your posture a little? It's ideal for the movement. Very professional.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer blinked in surprise, but managed to keep her expression neutral, doing as she was asked.]

Oh- sure. It's hard to dance when slouching.

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny peeks into the doorway, curious as always. She'd expected to see something happy, what with the music and that. She hadn't expected to see such serious giraffes dancing. How can anyone look so serious as they're dancing?

She can't help but ask the question aloud,] Ysosers?

[deductiongeek]

[Why did the world never make sense any more? Dancing giraffes? Really?

And what was that kid doing here?]

Its probably best not to get too close. They don't think they're paying much attention to the ground.

[quadro_dent]

[Oh hey it's someone closer to her her height! What? She hasn't really hung out with many kids... or any... in the castle.

She smiles and nods]

Lacitrev. [Or rather, "Of course I'll be careful. They're very tall and aren't used to watching out for things or people low to the ground."]

[deductiongeek]

[Great, she was too young to speak. He just hoped this wouldn't turn into the incident with Santa-san all over again.]

Can you understand me?

[She had nodded, so there was a possibility.]

Re: DANCE HALL

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ Ashura has found his way to the dance hall and he quietly pauses to listen and to watch, amazed in the way these creatures move with their long necks and limbs. They should have been gangly and awaked, but it was really quiet beautiful, even in its seriousness. Quietly, he takes a seat with his legs tucked under him to the side and watches, memorizing movements. ]}

I wonder what the movements mean...
