Who: Mighty Explorers
When: Day 15, All Day
Where: Uncleared areas
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? ]

But-- that's not at all fair for you, is it?

[lightningfield]

I was heading out anyway. If anything, you're doing me a favor.

[maid_to_die]

... All right.

What is your name, sir? My name is Kohaku.

[lightningfield]

...Li. Nice to meet you, Kohaku.

I'll be going, then.

[as he turns to leave, she may notice that his back (through the gaping rends in the back of his shirt) is covered in haphazard cloth bandages, which are soaked through in blood and wrapped as if by someone who couldn't easily reach.]

[maid_to_die]

[gasps!]

What happened to you?!

[lightningfield]

[ . . .

aaaand i'm walking away.]

[maid_to_die]

Wait!

[moving after]

[fuckingnature]

[ There's a long trail of green scales leading off into the wide open area to the right. There's also the second hallway where some of the rooms have been cleared, but not all of them, or more hallway to your left. Which way do you venture? ]

[lightningfield]

[Left!

Slowing a little so she can maybe catch up, but not by much.]

[fuckingnature]

[ Greenery everywhere; there's a set of hallways up ahead, and something else further past that... ]

[maid_to_die]

[still following...]

[lightningfield]

[something else...

going for that then.]

[maid_to_die]

Your wounds... you should change the bandages...

[lightningfield]

...Later.

[maid_to_die]

But it could fester.

[fuckingnature]

[ You pass openings for two more hallways, identical to the hallway you've been hoboing in for these past few days aside from all of the NATURE everywhere. Ahead of you, you can see... a set of stairs? One leading up, and one leading down, but you can't make out what's up or down. ]

[ That would be because there's a red blobbish looking thing in your way. It's easily 6' in all dimensions and looks like a giant mass of congealed blood really. It's somehow stuck itself in both staircases... ]

[lightningfield]

It won't.

[sssstopping, the fuck is this.

that looks really gross. :/

okay nope moving closer anyway, with a certain degree of caution.]

[fuckingnature]

[ B... blob '-' ]

[ Though if you look more closely, you can see something inside the blob, toward the bottom of it. ]

[lightningfield]

[deigning NOT to look at whatever is inside the blob, chances are I don't want to know.

....prods blob with knife-tip.]

[maid_to_die]

[haaanging back, far behind Li]

What is it...?

[fuckingnature]

[ The knife tip slides easily into the blob, but pulling it out might be a little bit... hard. ]

[lightningfield]

[Good thing Kohaku's standing back, because the moment Li realizes the blob wants to keep his knife, he's delivering a heavy electric shock to it.

Sure sucks you were hanging on to a conductive material, huh blob.]

[maid_to_die]

[shields her eyes]

[fuckingnature]

[ The blob bubbles a bit, but doesn't seem to take any notice to suddenly being electrocuted '-' ]
