Who: anyone
When: Day 126, mid- to late-afternoon
Where: outside near HQ
What: nature

[while some of you are returning back home with whatever supplies and foods you've gathered, after whatever adventures and fun were had, you may notice that there's a darker... green clinging to the side of HQ.

it looks like nature has spilled out from the unfinished fifth level and some from the cracks in the lower levels. a patch of thriving young wood is growing where the vines and moss creeps out from. not large enough to yet dominate the landscape, but growing fast, creeping toward the forests and the mountains...

do ye enter?]

((hiii, Jeva is running nature! if you want to play around as a nature thing, feel free to! I will be on IRC in #thusia and-or reachable by plurk or gchat :3))

[PROBABLY NOT OFTEN ENOUGH particularly with how fast nature can press in]

[very quickly when you're not paying attention.

the clearing you were in appears so very small now...

in fact, where are the exits you had plotted...?]

[Ruh-roh.

Better gather her bow and snake up before something goes completely crazy. Maybe attempt to find her own tracks.]

[what tracks?

there are only thin trees. :)]

[Mark one up for the forest! Going back to elf form, since it's tough to stay furry for too long, and studying the growth a little more closely to try coming up with an actual plan]

[gosh, just seems like a bunch of trees.

... a bunch of trees which will try to shank you from behind]

[SHANKED, did not expect that at all]

[she might have tried taking cover behind trees, but...trees. So picking a direction to run, trying to slash trees with a dagger to mark where she's already been :T]

[SCREEE WHY WITH THE SHARP IMPLEMENTS.

SO I GUESS YOU LIKE FURTHER ATTEMPTS AT STABBING THEN]

[because shankings beget shankings]

[she'll at least get harder to get for a while as she tries to find a way out, since she knows to expect it now]

[but if you were shanked before, there's a leg still in you somewhere?

if so, yanking back on that area :)]

[whoops]

[...what if playing dead]

[oh great! already dead means NOMMING NOW :E]

[bad decision apparently! stabbing at it ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT A TASTE]

[SCREEREEEEEEEEEE--!

DROPPING YOU. OW, MOTHERFUCKER. MAYBE STABBING MORE WILL KILL IT FOR GOOD.]

[BETTER IT THAN HER, she figures]

[WELL, BY THE IT, IT MEANS YOU

but with every miss there's another attempt at stabbing! >EEE]

[but that huuuuurts]

[maybe better focus entirely on hewing at tree limbs while she can]

[SCREEEEE....

at least it gets them to back off a bit to figure out how to make you stop doing that???]

[maybe that is a good time to attempt a stumbling retreat again]

[... yeeesss... probably the best chance you have.

though after the bout of confusion, there will be additional attempts.

though likely, you just have to be careful of pissed off capybara things >E]

[c-capybaras]

[might as well attempt to sneak until she can tell whether they're also pissed at her]

[well, they look like them anyway. only with harder heads.

man, you guys suck at this bailing thing.

but you are successful in making your way around the herd. though some may be watching like upset prey of larger predators do.]

[oh, well. If they're behaving like prey. Once she's got the herd between her and the trees, stopping to use rags for makeshift wound-binding.]

[must be difficult to get much light in this narrow patch of clearing.

it definitely wasn't so narrow before.

capybara seem to think there's something up since they're all alert now.

or maybe they're just staring at you because you're bleeding on their turf :|a]

[yeah that's legitimate. She does have low-light vision at least.]

[Finishing that up quick as she can]
