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]

[Steph stands at the doorway.]

This is officially the strangest thing I have ever seen.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya stands next to her. ]

Even the ponies had nothing on this.

[secondchances]

Not even close.

Where I'm from, giraffes don't dance. They just stand around being boring.

[wolfchild]

Is that what they are?

[ Westeros: too cold for any of these animals. ]

[secondchances]

Yeah. But they definitely don't act like people...

[wolfchild]

They look as miserable as I feel when I have to dance.

[secondchances]

[Grins.] Oh, so you don't want to join them?

[comsubin]

[ Stopping by to peek inside himself, and... oh. ]

You haven't seen much in your life, have you?

[secondchances]

Oh, no. I've seen a lot, ranging from talking ponies to giant spiders and blue pilgrims ripping the hearts out of pimps.

This is just crazy.

[comsubin]

[ Blue pilgrims ripping the hearts out of pimps... he wants to hear that story. ]

Is that so? You're really opinionated about how people like to dance.

[secondchances]

On how giraffes like to dance.

[comsubin]

Hey, you have some sort of issue with giraffes too?

[secondchances]

Apparently so? This is a first.

[schrodingersghost]

...Well, I wouldn't say weirdest. But it is definitely in my top ten.

[secondchances]

[Slowly looks at him.]

Seriously?

[schrodingersghost]

...Unfortunately.

[He didn't sound very happy about it.]

This is only about as weird as Dad's last father-son fishing trip.

[secondchances]

Were there talking fish?

[schrodingersghost]

...Giant ghost monster fish. And another ghost in a robot suit hunting me to prove to his girlfriend that he didn't suck as a hunter.

[secondchances]

My boyfriend was freaking me out about those angler fish things... I would take a ghost monster fish over that.

[hellshaped]

[That's... yes. Okay.]

I might have to agree with you there.

Is it just me, or do they look really...

[secondchances]

Really... serious?

[hellshaped]

Yeah... as serious as a giraffe can look, anyway.

[secondchances]

People expected us to find weird stuff out here, but I wonder if they'll actually believe this.

[hellshaped]

The giraffes in general? Or just... this? [Gesturing at the... is that dancing? Can that be considered dancing?]

[secondchances]

Both?

[At least she has Lana's camera, with a crystal. She takes it out to discretely snap a picture or two.]
