Who: Anyone
When: Day 70, morning
Where: Anywhere
What: Look around! Run into each other! Get cleaned up!

[ So it's been a day since the HQ was moved, and everyone has no doubt been enjoying the sunshine and the lifting of that oppressive gloom. Some have even started to get things cleaned up again. Appropriate for chaos to be followed by order again, hm? Those who are interested in grabbing some cleaning supplies will notice that Eizon has actually generously set out some already by his shine, today.

For other people still exploring, some may notice that a lot of vines fell away when the HQ was uprooted, and people searching around outside will see that about where level 4 starts, some of the wall looks different--a weaker texture, actually more like concrete that was filled over something. There also seems to be remains of twisted metal scaffolding or railing in some places, all along two stone ledges that trace around the half of the HQ opposite the window side. Perhaps these were once balconies?

In any case, be careful while you're out there, it seems like a lot more Red Lizagons are around this high up in the canopy! Some of them even seem extra mad. Maybe the HQ squished some nests?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's climbing pretty well as he climbs out after her, before dangling a moment and dropping onto the branch she's on. Leo stands and brushes his hands off.]

Did you see anything?

[Shakes her head, taking a moment to fiddle with her Omni-tool. Nothing, the comms aren't working. Dammit.]

Nothing but branches. I'll have a look again when we're on the ground.

Point out anything you see.

[Points straight ahead without hesitation, her face splitting into a grin.]

Tree. Tree. [hand move] More tree.

[eyeroll-]

Something useful, Jane.

[He's just going to squeeze right passed you and go on ahead because he's smaller.]

[Follows after, not even needing an excuse to chop down any of the smaller branches in her way, the cracking and snapping of branches and crackling of electricity being a very good indication of where she is if he can't see her. It's pretty thick.]

Leo! I found more tree. [Cackling~]

[turns sharply and calls back to her--!]

I hope a branch hits you in your face.

[Judging by the welt marks on her cheeks, it's already happened quite a few times already. She's still grinning at him, though.]

That's not very nice.

[stops-]

Did you see...?

.. Nevermind.

I see trees.

[Her grin has gone though, replaced by a frown as she looks around.]

[He thought he saw something, but now he's just doubting it and shaking his head. Then in exasperation, he turns to her-]

Trees, really?!

No, I'm lying.

[She's stood behind him on his level now, this branch is pretty thick. Checks her tool aga- nope, still out. Grumbles and brushes past him, marching along.]

[It's a mistake to look down, he suddenly loses his balance and his arms shoot back out to regain composure.]

It's a long way down, .. there's a lot to hit on the way. [She'd sink like a rock, he's sure, but if any of them fall, he's not sure even Jabberwock could reach them in time from slamming into something. He's already seen how badly she can hurt her head.]

[Yeah, this armor isn't exactly made for water and it looks like that's dawning on her as she comes forward to help him get his balance. If anyone falls in, she'd have to shed the armor before she could get down there to help them.

Good job it came with a bodysuit~]

Can you swim?

Elliot taught me.

[He had to learn as part of being Elliot's servant. So that means about as well as he can aim and shoot a gun, which you know means that he's going to flail as soon as he hits the water, right?]

Okay, that's one less thing to worry about, then.

[Gives his shoulder a pat as she continues along. It doesn't occur to her to press him on it right now.]

Remember if you do end up in the water to stay calm, Leo.

[he's watching the canopy, something bothers him about everything here, but it's probably because it's all dangerous]

[The last time he was in water was being drowned by snakes. He'll try. No promises.]

Okay.

I'm guessing all of this water came from the flooded lower levels... So maybe the animals won't be able to swim? But yeah, stay calm.

[The animals that have decided to hang around certainly can swim, if you dare to look down you may see the occasional ripple in the water. Though, that could be rain. It is pretty dense down here. And awfully, awfully quiet.

There's the sound of nature all around, even if there doesn't seem to be anything in view that's of any threat. The trees groan to each other, twigs and dead wood crackle and snap underfoot... and there's a hissing sound. Soft, obviously far off. It's so soft, in fact, that you could probably pass it off as the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind~]

Let's avoid the water and head up a little higher. It might be easier to see through all this.

[It's just a suggestion, though. He looks to Elliot to decide.]

[looks down at the water as well before nodding]

It's a solid plan. I've had enough of water.

[Well, have fun climbing guys. Meanwhile the hissing noise is very slowly getting louder and louder. Maybe it's because your climbing closer to the leaves that are obviously the cause of that noise.

Maybe not.]

[Halts- Oh hell no. No more snakes! At the next thoroughly entwined branches, Leo veers from climbing up and heads further in. He has to stop and try and get bearings on the headquarters, though. It'd be very easy to get lost in here, wouldn't it?]

[he's following you pretty closely, his eyes trained upwards when the start to go forward-

he's learned to not trust any part of nature]

Do you have an idea of what you're looking for?
