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.]

Yes, Cockroaches.

[Wow what a scream- Wait why is he shifting behind him?! Ugh no he has to explain? Gaaaah. But fine, he'll look towards Anne when he talks]

No one from our groups, but people whom called the First Generation- ah, former castle residents who choose to live out here in the Dead Zone, have. We got that information from them, and have yet to feel the desire to test it.

[It's not the first time Spike has heard someone mention that, but now that it's being pointed out again, he's starting to wonder how he could fact check that while he's out here. (Thanks for bringing this up, Once-ler!)]

I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet.

[What do you all even do on expeditions?]

[ensorceler]

[ Seriously. ]

It is a miracle that none of our own have suffered this misfortune.

[ Where is Sherlock. He's supposed to be somewhere around here, and they need a guinea pig. That is a big lake. Nobody would find the body.

No. Yes. No. ]

Let us pray we never find out the truth.

[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?]

[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.

[gottaknockhard]

[Things like giant roaches... Whatever.]

Sounds like a fun time.

[ensorceler]

[ Hey, she's with Once-ler. But she's a lady, what do you expect.

Anne shoots one more look to the house they just came out of, then turns to walk away, ditching them to get the heck away from this area! She looks disgusted, thinking about the sheep and those 'cockroaches' and just how eery this abandonment is. Death exists back home, but nothing like this does. ]

This town is cursed...

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler is not impressed with your stupid bravery, Allen] Uh huh. Let me know how that works out for you in the long run.

[Still, he'll glance the way Anne is walking]

The lady's got a point. I mean, sure it's not as creepy or as obviously cursed as that cave, but if this place came up for a world change at one point...there can't be a whole lot good about it.

[save_the_souls]

[He'll give Onceler a bit of an annoyed look, but refrain from commenting]

It'll be safe enough for the night. At least as safe as anywhere else here.

[gottaknockhard]

[Spike watches Anne leave and debates following, but these guys seem to know more about the things he never bothered to ask. At least not before jumping in on this expedition on a whim.

So he lingers there, as long as he can tell where she's running off to.]

What was obvious about the cave?

[whichwayyoulean]

You mean aside from the great big warning mark outside? Sure, no one could understand it, but that right there said 'something is in here!'

[save_the_souls]

That didn't stop you from going in anyway.

[He saw it on Timcanpy man. All your stupidity]

[gottaknockhard]

[He feels like he missed something...]

I guess the sheep didn't count.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Allen, you are getting annoying, you shoo]

What are you? The all-seeing eye of Paradisa? I said it was obviously dangerous, I didn't say anything about if I'd go in or not.

[save_the_souls]

[He could explain that he had Timcanpy along, and that Timcanpy was a recorder. But...Once-ler is really rubbing him the wrong way and you don't give trade secrets when you're a con artist - so let's just be dismissively vague.]

In a sense, perhaps.

[No he'll be ignoring Once-ler for Spike]

The sheep are just...standard odd animals found in the Dead Zone. Most species here are very odd by Earth standards. This town is one of the few places you'll see normal creatures.

[gottaknockhard]

[The tension is a nice thing to be in the middle of. Maybe he should have followed Anne and left the two of them to fight it out.

And if roaches that big are normal on Earth, it's no wonder it got a bad reputation.]

I'll have to remember to bring a shotgun next time.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler packs tension wherever he goes]

They make a pleasant change from the giant death birds.

[They were NOT fun. At least he knows the sheep won't try to eat him]

[save_the_souls]

If you're a good shot with one, that might not be such a bad idea...

[Since yeah. Sometimes the nasties get BIG out here]
