paradisabeyond | Terre Haute

[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]

What?!

Oh c'mon! Now you're just being unfair

Now being unfair would to ask you to leave. Or perhaps making you wear a false moustache. This isn't unfair at all, by those standards.

[ ! ]

Do you have a false mustache to make me wear?

We do! They serve as punishment for those to commit crimes.

[He is being utterly serious here]

[..............]

You know, I don't know what I was expecting.

[a sigh, so much for that theory. He'll try a different angle]

So who are the Irish?

And now you know, isn't knowledge fun?!

[The giraffe considers his answer]

They are people from Ireland.

Sure, when you share it.

[Ireland...oh! That's one of the countries Elizabeth rules!]

Yeah? Is there a group of them somewhere hear doing your job?

Knowledge is something gained. Not shared. It's not a bag of apples, you know.

They do half. [HELPFUL]

What? Don't you guys have books or schools? Because I'm pretty sure their point is to share knowledge.

Half, right. Where are they at? [CAN I TALK TO THEM INSTEAD?]

We get all the information we need in our spots. [Idiot]

They're in Ireland.

And nowhere else? You don't...try to learn more? [This guy is a brainwashed moron isn't he?]

Uh...isn't Ireland on another planet?

Our leaders provide us with all the information we need! We even know about incoming movies! It sure is swell to have patches. You patch-less people must be so unfortunate.

It's in Ireland.

Leaders? Who are they? And what are patches?

[................A COUNTRY CAN"T BE IN A COUNTRY]

...R-right.

They're our leaders. They send us all the information we need. And patches are on ever giraffe. [He lowers his neck, touches one of the markings on him] See? Patches.

[AND THAT IS ALL HE WILL GET ABOUT IRELAND]

Are the leaders giraffes too? Do you know?

[He looks at the markings.....]

Isn't...that just part of your fur?

Of course they are. Why would we follow anyone else?

[How very dare you B|]

You don't have to be like that, just because you're jealous of your lack of patches.

Right...have you met them, by any chance?

Ahaha, alright I'm sorry! I'll admit they look very nice!

I wouldn't follow someone I hadn't met. That would just be very rude on their part.

They are very nice. Do you see this big one? It means I'm very intelligent and also beautiful

Haha, yeah I can see that! I bet you're a real hit with all the lady giraffes.

[......he sure hopes this one is male, he can't effing tell]

Anyway! I should probably let you get back to your hard work! Though...one last question- about two weeks ago we saw something fall from the sky in this direction and it caused a big earthquake in our region. You know anything about that?

I am a real hit at the juice bar.

[Good job, Zelos, you didn't insult the giraffe]

Oh yes, it's far out in the grasslands. It's just sat there, really. None of us wished to go near it, it did not interrupt our work.
