[ 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? ]

[anopenbook]

Or a scent trail to its home. So creatures work that way, yeah?

[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. ]

[anopenbook]

[stops in his tracks]

[outofthemud]

[--Whoa.

They're not going to find out those are sunlight flowers right.

Brushing right on past Lavi if he's gonna stand there.]

[anopenbook]

[blinks as Kanda passes, then follows behind him slowly, shaking a little]

[fuckingnature]

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

[anopenbook]

[follows after it slowly. . .]

[outofthemud]

[Ah! No! He still needs that thing!

Leans over to see the size of the whole, cursing under his breath.] Can you bust through with your hammer?

[If not he can use his First Illusion, but a giant mallet or flaming snake might work better.]

[anopenbook]

[sorry the rabbit you are dialing is not in right now please leave a message

IS THERE REAL SUNLIGHT IS THERE?!?!?!

rushing now!!]

[outofthemud]

Hey! [Drops the vineaconda to he and try and pull him back.] We can make a bigger hole!

[Is he even going to fit in that thing?]

[anopenbook]

[I AM OUT OF HERE MAN

SUNNLLIGGHTTTT]

[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 two. You've found the outside. ]

[anopenbook]

[and then Red swayed on his feet before dropping to his knees, staring skyward, and cried like a dude who has been locked away for a year in the darkness]

I..it's...

[outofthemud]

Damn it! [Fine, they'll crawl out! Gives a pick of a kick as Red goes through before grabbing the snake corpse to push that through and crawl on out. Now what are they looking...

at...

Double whoa. He had no idea forests could look like this. He doesn't go too far before he sees that they're, you know, not on the first floor. And he's not near as emotional as Red is (be glad he hasn't seen that crying) So he'll be occupied with glancing around the whole area.]

[anopenbook]

It's so warm.

[outofthemud]

[Looks back at him. Adjusts the vineaconda so it's right by the hole before getting to his feet and taking careful steps out next to Red. Leans forward and looks down.]

[fuckingnature]

[ The ground below is flooded- the water seems to be reaching well above the roots of the trees, since you can't make out any. If you peer at the building, it looks like the lower levels of it are submerged as well- you can't make out how tall it is from here. ]

[anopenbook]

I have to get closer.

[now. Now is the time to ignore your nakama and climb the closest tree]

I'm going to see it!

[outofthemud]

See what? [Snaps his attention back up. Red you are like a raving madman right now--grabbing for the back of his shirt.] Slow down!

[anopenbook]

[turns and smacks Kanda away]

I haven't seen the sky IN A YEAR, Kanda Yuu.

[outofthemud]

[Smacked! Frowns up at (with a twinge of confusion).] And why not?

[anopenbook]

[I AM TRYING TO CLIMB AGAIN]

I sold my memories for a chance. To get a wish. To escape the Noah--they took me. I wasn't sure I would survive.

I could be taken away, would have the chance to win my memories back, and win a wish.

So I went. But...it was a cave. I was trapped for all that time.

I want to see it. I died without ever seeing the real sky again.

But it is SO CLOSE now I HAVE TO...

[outofthemud]

[... Sighs, stepping back and folding his arms.]

I'm not saving you if you fall from being reckless.

[anopenbook]

[I AM CLIMBING THIS TREE

FORGET YOU MR STOIC]

[outofthemud]

[YEAH YEAH GO HAVE YOUR FUN.

Leans back against the vine wall and watches, waiting for him to get it out of his system.]
