Terre Haute Expedition: Paradisa Town

[save_the_souls]

[After a long few days of traveling, the expedition team has reached past it's halfway point! And as such, they decide to make rest at a place that had once been the target of a previous expedition:]


Paradisa Town
Note: Talking Animal People and Actually Happy Once-ler Not Included

[A small cutesy village that once served as a world change location, it has now been abandoned of all it's previous residents. Though it's condition hardly looks like a place that hasn't been lived in for years- instead it has the condition that everyone just stepped out for awhile. There are more than enough small houses to fit everyone, so it's a nice break from sleeping on the ground (for some anyway). It's also a good place to stock up if you're one of those explorers that forgot things such as food and spare clothing. That is, if you don't mind peaches and fish and really gaudy clothing.]

[Relax, Explore, Pig out on Peaches - the evening is yours to do as you please.]

[cyan_maid]

Oh! I hadn't thought about how I'd bring them down. That's a great idea!

[She's nearly at a sturdy branch, now. Just a bit more, and-] Ah! There we go...!

[lord_wizard]

[After taking a (very brief) moment to make sure everyone is squared away, Felix heads straight for the museum, something probably outright predictable to anyone that knows him.

He's not as interested in the animals as he is the bones. He's never seen anything like them before, and isn't sure to what sort of creature they belong to. He knows the general etiquette is to keep your hands off, but he's curious, so after glancing around, he reaches out to touch them.]

[lord_wizard]

Not that impossible. Most of us aren't from the same place either. It's reasonable the wildlife here is subject to the same principle.

[whichwayyoulean]

Less of a miracle and more of running away very fast from things trying to kill us.

[But hey, that's pretty normal in Paradisa anyway, right?]

[lord_wizard]

[Felix is checking out the houses. Seems like a decent place to camp for the night, though he's less sure about the sense of aesthetics of whoever built this place.

He opens a door to one of them, and finds a very small nearly empty space. Not much better than a closet, really.]

Maybe we'll have to use the tent anyway.

[lord_wizard]

[Bathe? In the river? Hell no. Where people can see? Double hell no.

But being clean would be nice, so he's down near a more shallow section of water with a bucket he's borrowed from somewhere, though by the looks of him, he hasn't quite gotten past the stage of thinking about what he's going to do next. He looks a little ill about it too]

[encryptedlock]

There are some people I wouldn't put it past.

[Exactly, Allen. You never know.]

[encryptedlock]

Sure, sit down. There's plenty of fish here for everyone.

[York grins a little.]

Guess I'll have to be prepared next time. I forgot this place was supposed to have fish.

[encryptedlock]

To be fair, I'm more used to fish that comes in a fillet. Still, it isn't that hard to get from point A to point B, and I did bring a knife.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler's largely in here because it serves as a break from dealing with the stupid bugs or being ordered around by the queen. He arches a brow as Felix reaches out to touch those bones]

It's probably alarmed, y'know.

[schrodingersghost]

I don't assume everything is going to kill me.

...Just a lot of things.

[fanstheflame]

Honestly, I hadn't even thought about it... the only fish I'd seen before were the ones on the trip to Lastlook, and you can't exactly catch those with a pole.

[he grins, helping himself to a patch of dirt, and pulls a little bag out of one of the pockets of his vest]

Jerky?

[waterproofed]

Still seems like a crummy way to live.

[save_the_souls]

[Side-eying once-ler]

Not all of us run.

[And back at Anne and Spike!]

But it is a miracle, in a way. And we'll do everything we can to make sure it stays that way.

[heal_theworld]

[She watches him climb up the tree and laughs.] You must drive Once-Ler crazy. Climbing trees like that.

[findatree]

I don't think he even likes me climbing regular stairs. [because he dosen't climb; he drives on them with his uniscooter]

[gottaknockhard]

[Things like giant roaches... Whatever.]

Sounds like a fun time.

[deductiongeek]

Humans aren't as reliant on certain climates to live as some of these species.

[save_the_souls]

Mm right!

We are a bit open like this...

[wolfchild]

But it is easy. You don't hide your hair or-or your voice.

[heal_theworld]

He wouldn't. I think he worries too much sometimes. But you seem like a pretty good climber to me.

[findatree]

I do this kind of stuff all the time at home. Not with trees, but I like doing athletic stuff.

[secondchances]

... it's generally a little more difficult when the population is bigger, but yeah, Paradisa makes it pretty easy. Still, gotta keep up appearances.

[wilder]

[DAMMIT!!]

Ahahahahaa...no, I really don't.

[encryptedlock]

[He takes it gratefully and opens the bag to munch on a piece.]

Thanks. And yeah, the wildlife here? Kind of bizarre, if you ask me. Like those eyeless buffalo on the plains--not edible, believe me. Which kind of puts a dent on any long-term exploration, if we can't count on hunting to supplement our food.
