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.]

[HERE WE GO-]

The first time I came here, it was full of small animal people that would screech at you if you so much as swore. The second time, there was a strange creature that looked like a plague doctor who had kidnapped someone and attacked us.

And to make it worse, all there is to eat here is peaches and fish! Imagine living on that for a week straight!

[solowingpixy]

[He's not phased by the food part at least, if only because MREs were far worse than the idea of having nothing but peaches and fish... but the first two were certainly weird. The hell kind of world did he get pulled into?]

And here you're saying that this place should be peaceful for tonight after you say those things were here the first two times?

[save_the_souls]

[You don't want to know Larry. You don't want to know. But he'll nod]

The animal people have long since left this place, and the plague doctor is dead. Since the First Generation people haven't been heard of in this region for awhile- it should be pretty safe.

[solowingpixy]

[He kind of wants to know more about these "First Generation" people, but somehow, he doesn't find himself all that interested for the time being.

...but he's kind of glad to hear the animal people are gone. He doesn't know how he'd react to that.]

Fair enough. Any reason why those... 'animal people' just up and left or is that something else beyond answer in this place?

[save_the_souls]

We don't know, I'm afraid. Maybe there was a better place for them to go or they were all sent back to their world. There hasn't been a word from them, either way.

[solowingpixy]

[Yep, it was Answer B. He just scoffs.]

This place loves leaving loose ends, doesn't it?

[save_the_souls]

It really does. There's more loose ones than closed ones.

[solowingpixy]

That's just typical, isn't it? Can't expect anything in this place to make sense.

But I'm sure that's why you guys come out here- to find answers. Am I right?

[save_the_souls]

Mm, it's almost strange when things do make sense really!

And that's right! The more we learn out here, the better chance we have of beating this place.

[solowingpixy]

You mean to tell me there's been something in this place that does make sense? [He calls bullshit.]

'Beating it'? Just what exactly is there to beat?

[save_the_souls]

Well...sometimes. Not always very often.

The castle's control of us, of course.

[solowingpixy]

I have a hard time believing that.

[Know what else he has a hard time believing? The castle being sentient. Four months of these shenanigans and he STILL doesn't buy it fully.]

How are you certain there's not someone else pulling the castle's strings and that it has its own 'sentience'?

[save_the_souls]

[He shrugs]</small? I'm not certain. But if there is someone pulling the strings, they've done an impeccable job hiding themselves.
