[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."

"Oh aye, might be some o'er there."

Will points at some blobs in the distance.

"What's the social ettiquette for starting the fight?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Probably just ask," Atton says, heading towards the blobs.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye or shove 'em."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy follows their lead.

They eventually come into view - there are about six of them - a couple of black belts/thieves, a couple of black mages/fighters, a white mage/fighter and a red mage/black belt, Atton would say from their clothing.

"S'a lot of them."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, but we're good."

[guppy_sandhu]

"How do you know? All we fought so far was worms."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"The fluffster has a point."

[will_scarlett]

"Then just 'ave to try is all."

[guppy_sandhu]

"We could go one at a time, then I can heal you if it goes wrong."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"We could. One against two, for all of us, then, maybe?"

[will_scarlett]

"Sounds like a way to start, aye."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods.

"Atton, do you still have your healy-fu?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nah."

[will_scarlett]

"Then should try to na get too 'urt."

[guppy_sandhu]

"And you two should go first, that way if we're way out of our league, we can pull out before the only healer on the team gets squished."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Though we do have those Resurrection Thingies."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye but should probably save 'em in case there's somethin' worse comin'."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Yeah, those should be for like, actual danger."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"It's a game, we can't die. What actual danger is there?"

[will_scarlett]

"Na sure, let's just try this fight first."

[guppy_sandhu]

"How do you know we can't die? Remember Brand of Amber?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"... How is that at all similar?"

[will_scarlett]

"Mean its a sort o'game, aye so its na like goin' to a whole 'nother world."
