What:

[ 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? ]

[schattendiener]

[ because it's polite ] I will take that as a yes.

[ continues following! ]

[duplicut]

Okay.

[ follow follow ]

[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. ]

[schattendiener]

. . .

[ well ]

[schattendiener]

[ offers X-23 his arm, before they carefully continue after the lizagon ]

[duplicut]

[ examines his arm ????

is this vineaconda something we have to 'deal' with... ]

[schattendiener]

Perhaps I should collect some samples of this . . .

[ . . . but the lizard is getting away :( ]

[duplicut]

[ time for shank claws out.

Will try and cut him a nice sample size of vinaconda and kill it with a shank to the head (I HAVE TWO HANDS!! and no defensive strategy!!!) ... so we can still make good time '-'a ]

[fuckingnature]

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

[schattendiener]

[ hmm is the head small enough to cut off and take along? ]

[fuckingnature]

[ It will make a nice paper weight, certainly. ]

[schattendiener]

[ to X-23 ] The head, if you please.

[duplicut]

Okay.

[ SLICES IT OFF I GUESS WE TAKIN' IT WITH US. ]

[fuckingnature]

[ What a lovely souvenir! ]

[ Though I guess while you were gift shop browsing, the tail end of that Lizagon is disappearing into the mass of vines ahead. ]

[schattendiener]

[ follows that tail, after taking the head from X-23 ]

We'll leave your arms open.

[duplicut]

Okay.

[ FOLLOW DAT LIZARD ]

[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. ]

[schattendiener]

[ . . . continues to follow that lizard ]

[duplicut]

[ i will also sniff the wall ... ]

[fuckingnature]

[ If you have a sharp nose, you may just notice the scent of fresh air in those vines. ]

[ 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. ]

[schattendiener]

How sensitive is your . . .

[ will stop talking for sunlight ]

[schattendiener]

[ and to X-23 again, as he waits for the lizard to do what it's gonna do ]

How sensitive is your nose?

[duplicut]

I can smell fresh air.

[schattendiener]

How interesting . . .

[ waiting on the lizard, then ]

[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? ]
