[OOM] Izabora- Total Immersion Virtual Reality Program: Age of Ooze. The Forest of Shiny.

They've been walking through the forest for a couple of hours now, and it's almost dark.

"We might want t'stop and rest for the night, soon," Atton remarks, adjusting his hat.

"Isn't it more dangerous to ignore them?" Guppy asks, wiping the ooze off his shoe.

[will_scarlett]

"Least till they 'ttack us but when ye 'ttack first means they'll come after us."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"That, and the fact that none of your targets thus far have been dangerous."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy fidgets, somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry."

[will_scarlett]

"Ye've got good reflexes an all though."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Now, if you could put them to good use, that'd be great."

[guppy_sandhu]

"You just told me to stop using them, there's nothing here!"

[will_scarlett]

"Well they'll be useful when we next 'ave to fight somethin' big."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Patiently: "Put them to good use as in use them when there's actually a cause to use them, Guppy, not 'go and beat something up right now'."

[guppy_sandhu]

"They're distracting."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye but just 'ave to learn to pick out which ones are large 'nough to do true damage."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Like that thing over there," Atton says, pointing to a distant tree-man thing.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy looks over, then edges closer to Atton and Will.

"What is it?"

[will_scarlett]

"Na sure but its big."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Tree-person thing. You should go and hit it Guppy. Hit it lots."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy steps forward.

"Excuse me, Mr Tree, are you friend or foe?"

[will_scarlett]

Will waits to see what the tree thing does.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

The tree peers at Guppy for a moment.

"Gnarghsmash," it eventually decides, raising one limb to bring down towards Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy casts a force field between the tree and Will, then jumps out of the way of the branch. He moves around it looking for weak spots, then ninja kicks it in the knots.

[will_scarlett]

Will swings his torch towards the tree thing, it backs up slightly and now tries to hit him along with Guppy.

[guppy_sandhu]

The knots clearly isn't a weak part, so Guppy tries jumping up to snap bits off.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton just watches, for the moment.

(After all, it's just a tree. He's sure they can handle it.)

[will_scarlett]

Since the fire seems to be scaring the tree, Will tosses his torch high into its head of branches where a few are set on fire acting as a good distraction,

"'rhaps should start runnin'."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Won't that set the whole forest on fire?" Guppy calls to Will. "Otherwise we could have had Atton burninate it."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"We don't want t'start a forest fire."
