[OOM] Izabora - Total Immersion Virtual Reality Program: Age of Ooze. The Garden of New Beginnings.

[stuck_mynock]

When Atton opens his eyes, he hasn't got his sword, and he's wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a billowing coat, and a whole lot of black.

Thoughtfully: "Huh."

They're in a garden of some sort, filled with statues, fountains, and plants, with a forest and a massive city in the distance. A lot of people are milling around, all in dress from a variety of different time periods.

Atton thinks about this, a moment.

"Huh."

Comments

"Aye, seems simple 'nough."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods.

"Thank you." he says to the elf. "See, there was no need for spitting."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The elf responds by spitting at Guppy, then wandering away.

"Big city," Atton remarks, looking at the city in the distance.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, 'opefully can find what we're lookin' for there."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy looks like he's about to go after the elf, but makes do with making rude gestures at his back with his nunchucks.

"Have we got a map feature?" he asks, wiping his face.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Don't think so. Guess we just walk in its general direction and hope the gate is big and obvious."

[will_scarlett]

"Probably is since seems to be true o'most things 'ere."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy puts his nunchucks away.

"Okay, let's go."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Better hurry!" The elf yells from afar. "Soon, the infection will wipe out this entire world!" Beat. "Oh, what a glorious day that will be."

Atton peers at him, bemusedly, before heading for the gate out of the garden.

[will_scarlett]

"Infection, guess that kind o'figures."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy pokes upwards, selects Heal, and directs it at the ground.

Nothing happens.

He shrugs. "Worth a shot. Computer virus maybe?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. Either way, doesn't change that we should probably head to the city."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, 'rhaps its somethin' left be'ind by the info we're trackin'."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Good thought." Guppy says to Will, nodding with approval.

He starts to head towards the city with them.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The gate from the garden opens out onto a completely out-of-place desert, which stretches off into the distance before stopping abruptly at a forest.

Atton wrinkles his nose, slightly. He doesn't like sand.

[will_scarlett]

"This is odd."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Yeah. The designer had unusual geography preferences."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Well, at least it's, er, interesting. Sort of."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, least isna a lot o'desert."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods.

"Even if it is, I'm guessing Recharge is some sort of energy restoring spell."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"That'll be useful," Atton says, brightly. He adjust his hat slightly, peering up at the sun. "S'too hot."

Black, after all, absorbs heat. Atton is wearing all black. In a desert.

He hates his character avatar, he's decided.

[will_scarlett]

Will at least is in green but he still stands out a lot,

"Aye, tis, least city will 'ave some taverns."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy casts a force field above Atton, partially experimentally, partially to see if it shields him from the heat.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton peers up.

"I was thinking of just gratuitously using Blizzard, but I guess that works too."

[will_scarlett]

"Could see if it works in 'ere."
