[OOM] Tython.

[stuck_mynock]

They made planetfall a couple of hours ago.

So far, things have mostly just been messing around. They landed in a forest clearing, a little way from a deep but gently flowing river and a waterfall.

Which is where Atton is now. There's a pile of his clothes on a rock by the river, but he's nowhere to be seen, most of the time. Occasionally, he bobs up from under the water, peers around, and goes back down again.

"Or do we just lie our way in?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nobody here, you guys," Atton repeats. "Nobody to lie to. I don't know whether there'll be an automatic security system or not."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Is there a way to find out before it tries to kill us?"

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, makes it easier."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No. Foolish Guppy," Atton says, shaking his head as they reach the door.

It heaves open with a little bit of effort, throwing up dust. Inside, a man with a torch looks up.

"Oh, er, man, I was just here to look for stuff to sell, I mean - ..."

"Nobody is here!" Atton hollers, balefully. The man squeaks, hurrying past them to escape. Atton turns to Guppy and Will. "Nobody is here." He sulks his way into the building, summoning a ball of lightning above his hand to light the way (not dangerous at all, clearly).

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well that's good, he would have set the alarm off first."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye."

Will doesn't say anything just grins and stays farther back from Atton.

Atton appears overjoyed as he finds a map.

"S'a map," cheerily.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I found a disc of something." Guppy says, waving it.

[will_scarlett]

"Good, maps are useful."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Toss it here," Atton says to Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy passes it over.

[will_scarlett]

Will looks around just in case anyone else appears.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton slips the disk into his datapad, holding it out. A fuzzy hologram of a robed woman appears.

"Tired of those pesky laigreks? Our home-made anti-laigrek spray may be for you ..." Atton flicks it off.

"Archives are this way," heading down a corridor.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Oh well, it was worth a shot."

Guppy follows him, keeping his stun gun in his hand just in case.

[will_scarlett]

"What's a laigrek? 'opefully willna be any 'ere."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Just an insect."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Do they bite?" Guppy asks. "I've got some mosquito spray if that would help."

Why yes, he did get a bag from Bar that is bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. It's come in pretty handy so far too...

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, good."

There's a lot of odd stuff on these worlds and Will would rather be prepared.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"They bite a little. They're a bit too hardy for mosquito spray, though," Atton says, starting down a corridor.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy sprays a bit on, for good measure, and passes it to Will.

[will_scarlett]

Will does the same before following Atton at least this time they have a map.

"Archive Room, Archive Room," Atton mutters, peering at the signs on each door as he passes, Eventually: "Archive Room!"

[guppy_sandhu]

"What does a... legwreck look like?" Guppy asks, having thought about this for a moment. Can't easily avoid insecty things if you don't know what they look like.

[will_scarlett]

"What are we lookin' for in the archives, Atton?"
