[ Who's up for some fun times in nature? ]

[ Oh, and if you're up and out early enough, you may just catch sight of a Lizagon making its way down the big hallway toward the wider open area. A big Lizagon- easily larger than the other ones loitering around this hallway. Its scales have also started changing to a bright, ruby red color, the older green ones shedding off as it walks. ]

[ It doesn't seem to notice you as it passes- it doesn't seem to be stopping for anything in fact. Do you dare follow it? Or are you lucky enough to have decided to go hunting after it passes? ]

[ Its marching its way straight into the large area- there are trees everywhere; it's like a real jungle in here. Except there is a ceiling, just covered in vines, but there are no walls in sight- just more and more plants. ]

[ There are also actual trees here, thick brown ones and thinner blue-green ones, growing over each other and the other plants in this room. There's also a clump of very thin brown tree trunks gathered up in a few places here and there. The branches of the thicker brown tree spread out across the ceiling- from a number of the branches you can see purple, tear-shaped gourds hanging. ]

[ The Lizagon doesn't seem interested in any of this though; instead it keeps walking straight through the trees, deeper into the jungle. ]

[stalking the dragon waiting for a chance to present itself to off it, glancing around the area, but not really slowing]

[fuckingnature]

[ It keeps walking and the scenery seems the same. Those same clumps of thin brown tree trunks, the purple gourds hanging overhead, vines tangling here and there. The Lizagon snaps through any of the vines that tangle in its way- and clean through a 20-ft Vineaconda as it goes, ignoring the writhing body it leaves in its wake. A Vineaconda now in your way. ]

[Branch of Sin out as he follows and heads for the snake's head to hopefully decapitate it quickly so he can continue following the more interesting prey]

[fuckingnature]

[ Disorientated from being CUT IN HALF, the Vineaconda goes limp soon after the stab through its head. That big Lizagon still doesn't seem to have noticed and its going further into the jungle, where the vines are getting thicker. ]

[whetblood]

[leaves vineaconda corpse and follows]

[fuckingnature]

[ It continues to snap its way through the vines, and eventually it hits a wall of vines, plants, and other green things. The wall of the building, from the looks of it. It raises its head, seemingly sniffing at the wall before heading left, keeping itself close against it. ]

[whetblood]

[might actually be somewhat curious by now. continues to follow it, sticking close though not enough to call attention]

[fuckingnature]

[ The Lizagon eventually stops, and begins clawing at the vines on the wall- as it does, slowly but surely, light, sunlight, begins to break through the plants. ]

[whetblood]

[holy shit]

[fuckingnature]

[ It keeps tearing at the vines and the light continues to fill the area- once the hole is big enough it crawls straight through and out. Dare you look through the sunlit hole yourself? ]

[whetblood]

[dare nothing the prey is getting away because he got distracted, hurries after]

[fuckingnature]

[ SURPRISE IT'S ANOTHER ROOM. ]

[ ... If the room were a rainforest. It's trees- huge trees that easily go up 140 feet and more above you. Some of them are well over 40-50 feet wide as well. There's long, thick branches, easily large enough for people to walk across, criss-crossing the area, dipping down to the water-covered ground and high up into the canopy of the trees. And piercing through the trees is sunlight, bright and yellow and warm in that patch you're standing in. ]

[ You may also want to notice that you're actually standing at a hole in the side of a building without any balcony space- about 20 feet below you is a very flooded and murky rainforest floor- there are other plants growing everywhere, in the water, on the trees, it's absolutely green as far as you can see. The building itself stretches up for another 40 ft, absolutely covered in vines and greenery. There's more past that, but it's hard to make out in the tangle of trees. ]

[ Congratulations. You've found the outside. ]

[whetblood]

[distracted from hunting for once... and then climbs out of the building using blood blades on the bottom of his feet to walk up the wall]

[fuckingnature]

[ The building goes up and up- the vines are apparently too thick for you to find other openings in the wall. ]

[whetblood]

[looking for a rooftop then]

[fuckingnature]

[ When you reach the top edge of the building, it stops being so straight and looks more like a... dome? A 100-ft tall dome, absolutely covered in vines and plants and other assorted greenery. And the very top of the dome sits a flower that looks identical to the Fairy Lights inside! ]

[ If the Fairy Light was the size of a house. ]

[whetblood]

[walks over to the base of the flower thing... to inspect the vine]

[fuckingnature]

[ It's a thick vine- huge pipeline thick- that branches off into smaller and smaller ones that scatter down the dome and mix in with the other vines across the side of the building. ]

[whetblood]

[guess he's going to see if he can slice through it then]

[fuckingnature]

[ It's thick and hard to cut through- you manage a very shallow cut in it, but clearly it's going to take a lot more than that to move this thing. ]

[whetblood]

Fucking place...

[braces himself and lashes out with Invisible Black to see if a supersonic attack does any better]

[fuckingnature]

[ It cuts! About 1/8 of the way through. There's no visual signs of any difference though... ]

[whetblood]

[lets the blade go and pulls a bottle from a strap over his shoulder and a lighter from his pocket. he starts backing away and sets the bottle on the ground for a moment as he flicks a flame to life and lights the strip of cloth protruding from the bottle's neck. he picks it up after putting the lighter away and hurls the molotov at the cut in the flower's stem]

[fuckingnature]

[ The explosion of it gets the root cut a good 3/8 of the way! ]

[ ... But it also draws the attention of the Vineaconda that had formerly been curled lazily around the base of the dome. ]

[ The 60 foot Vineaconda. ]
