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? ]

[ 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? ]

[schattendiener]

[ yes, I am looking through the hole ]

[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-clearly this used to be a window- 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. ]

[schattendiener]

Hmm . . . X-23, would you please go out and climb up to the top of the building? Report back on anything you discover up there.

[duplicut]

Okay.

[ I GUESS I WILL GO OUT THE HOLE and then try to scale the building by sinking my claws into the side... w...will it support me :|a? ]

[fuckingnature]

[ The outer walls of the building are absolutely covered in vines and greenery; it's easy enough to get a grip and scale up. ]

[duplicut]

[ up we go then! how far up can I go . . . ]

[fuckingnature]

[ You make it about 40 feet up to the top edge of the wall. In front of you is a dome- 100 feet tall at its highest and absolutely covered in greenery and vines as well. At the very top of the top is a flower that looks identical to the Fairy Lights inside, except. House-sized. ]

[duplicut]

. . . [ poke dome . . .? ]

[fuckingnature]

[ It's a mass of vines- a thick one. You'll have to do a lot of work to try and see in it. ]

[duplicut]

[ i guess i got claws and time :|a goes to work . . . ]

[fuckingnature]

[ Surely you have plenty of time. And those red wings appearing over the dome, on the other side of it, are nothing to be worried about. ]

[duplicut]

[ I WILL NOTICE THEM EVENTUALLY also w/e w/e keep working keep working ]

[fuckingnature]

[ Hopefully you'll notice by the time that red lizagon, easily the size of a rhino, starts dashing at you over the dome. ]
