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.]

Well...sometimes. Not always very often.

The castle's control of us, of course.

[wolfchild]

[ Zelos, you are the worst. ]

You can eat on the roof.

[save_the_souls]

[....]

[He'll reach to the back of his neck, and undo a clasp. He pulls out the necklace it was holding, a round black locket with a white cross across the front- and holds it out to Arya]

Here. Could you do me a favour and hold onto this?

[wilder]

Whaaaat?

That's harsh!

[wolfchild]

Why? [ But she's already reaching for it. ]

[wolfchild]

You sleep on the roof. And speaking of that, one night you're going to roll off it.

[ And she won't care B(

Spoiler: she will. ]

[save_the_souls]

It's...It's a locket that was given to me by someone I failed. I always try to wear it, but it keeps getting tangled in another necklace I have to wear and I fret it will cause the chain to break one day and that'd be...

[...]

So...can you take care of it for me? I'm sure the person would've liked you, so it would be all right. [Better than a fake brother doing it, one who couldn't save her and caused her such a terrible fate just because she looked like him]

[wilder]

What? I will not!

[wolfchild]

I guess. If you're sure.

[ She'll keep it secret and keep it safe o7

After tying it around her neck, she slips it inside her tunic. The high neckline hides even the chain. ]

[save_the_souls]

I am....Thank you.

[in a sad way, it almost feels like a weight lifted]

But I'll want it back one day, okay?

[wolfchild]

I know. I'm not a thief.

[ okay she is, but she steals food. and shoes. and weapons. you know. survival. ]

[wolfchild]

[ She rolls her eyes. ]

If you break a leg, we're rolling you in a blanket and tying you to Scaley. Will you want mutton too?

[whichwayyoulean]

It's possible. I mean, you never know, with Paradisa, right? Some worlds are light years ahead and some aren't. It's kind of a mixed bag.

[deductiongeek]

...What do you mean by shrunk?

[heliotroping]

Apparently not... Allen showed me the new map from Lastlook, and some of the marked locations were where the castle took us.

[heliotroping]

Well for one.. We didn't have to duck to get inside then. [he pats the doorframe]

[save_the_souls]

I never said you were!

[deductiongeek]

[And suddenly Conan became interested in what this guy had to say.]

You have a way of explaining this magic?

[last_rat_standing]

[He simply makes a thoughtful noise, regarding Ashura for a moment]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ He looks at James and smiles, that old look back in his eyes, but he shuts it out quickly. ]}

Perhaps I just like to cling to being an optimist when I can, even when the pessimist wants to win out.

[schrodingersghost]

[Okay, he was pretty sure this kid was a lost cause. Danny was a nice guy, but he wasn't a nice enough guy to put up with this.]

Whatever. Have fun with your hunting... stuff.

[And he wanders off.]

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, its not like there any helpful signs around here.

[last_rat_standing]

[He nods and stands, carelessly tossing the useless items aside]

That could be for any number of reasons but anarchy is certainly a possibility.

[quadro_dent]

[Point.

She thinks for a moment before rummaging in her bag. Finally she grins, victoriously pulling a plastic bag from the depths]

Ici! [which roughly translates to "Here! I do have one."]

[quadro_dent]

[That sounds like a great plan! Except...]

Nomoni. [Or rather, "I would like that very much but I don't have any money to use to make a wish."
