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]

Yes, you are.

[Because she caaaares. He's injured, and Dairine knows he's liable to run off and try risky things because she'd do exactly the same.

She can't let him get hurt. Or worse.]

[lord_wizard]

Or it extends to this area for another reason...

[lord_wizard]

Metaphorically speaking, I suppose.

[wishmadeinfire]

Or that too. It seems the far more likely.

[lord_wizard]

[He gives Ashura a thin-lipped look]

I would rather not. But you're welcome to try. I will stay right here.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ He looks at him for a moment, wondering where they had come from. ]}

What are you upset for? 

[ensorceler]

[ What

kind of answer is that. She didn't expect it, but she's quick to hide her surprise, replacing it with a smirk as she sidles closer. She is so angry Micheletto never responded... Sherlock would have found him very interesting, then, while he was being strangled. ]

You know that they say death out here is permanent? True?

[heliotroping]

...I wonder what happened to the original tree then...

[tapshoetomove]

Well, that's because I'm a kid and you're a giraffe! I must look pretty small to you.

What are you doing anyway?

[panicswitched]

I can get behind the no seeds thing. [ and hey, this stuff isn't bad. HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT POISONED OR DRUGGED OR SOMETHING. ]

Thanks. It's nice here. [ in an awkward way. ] So. Been out here long?

[panicswitched]

No. But you'd expect them to be all weird and not normal. Maybe they are weird and that would make them even cooler.

[gentleidealist]

[He sighs.]

Yeah, probably...

It's still weird, though.

[gentleidealist]

... Why don't you drink it first?

[toobravehearted]

[Quick frown, obviously surprised, but then he's smiling again. He knows what the word means.] Thank you, Felix. I've collected a few names in my time; that is one of the better.

I'm sorry, to earn a name we must have known each other well.

[toobravehearted]

[Eyebrows going UP...]

What? Some return-? No, no I do not.

I'm pleased to meet you, Conan. Can I ask, what happened to you? [Bandaged up kid, of course he's asking.]

[deductiongeek]

[He stuffs his good hand in his pocket and leans back on the backs of his heels.]

Sometimes, when you get knocked out for a week or more here, it is possible to return home for a short time. That happened to me last week.

And some things happened at home. When I woke up here again I was still like this.

[toobravehearted]

That is- [He has to pause. The kid is so matter of fact.] A worrying development. I wondered if the Earthquake itself might have had a hand in your injury.

[assassino]

I expected them to be smaller than this!

[He edges closer to the cliff face.]

[assassino]

[Ezio glances to Connor and gives him a surprisingly sympathetic look.]

I know what you mean. But it will not limit you, hmm?

[eaglet]

[He blinks, realising belatedly that Ezio must be going through the same thing.]

No. [It's just weird...]

How many times have you been out in the Dead Zone? You do not seem surprised.

[assassino]

Several times. But my lack of surprise is because Paradisa has taken my vision from me, not because of the Dead Zone.

[eaglet]

[WOW now he feels like an insensitive jerk.] Oh. I did not know...

[assassino]

It is fine, do not worry.

[eaglet]

[He nods after a short pause, then looks back to the animals.]

We should start with the deer first, so we will be sure to have meat. Then we may try the cats if you want a challenge.

[wilder]

Same. Apparently they didn't even bother to check out the thing that fell from the sky themselves!
