[theshadowturnedhero]

That you have a new life or this isn't the afterlife?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

That what you're saying, all of it, is true. Prove this isn't my world.

[theshadowturnedhero]

Do you know what a 'fridge' is?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

....you're kidding.

[theshadowturnedhero]

People come from different worlds. I don't have technology like that in mine and that might be a bit more specific than the jungle taking over the apartment building.

Depending on the world you come from.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[that is almost stupid enough that i believe it]

Sorry, fridges have been around a long fucking time. Try again.

[theshadowturnedhero]

Magic AND technology, huh? That's a bit tougher.

Well, might as well give the nature a try. Come on, this way. [Heading towards the door.]

[pyropathic_ambicide]

Magic's not that common. But obviously I can do it, so can others.

[...i guess as long as i don't have to show my back to you I can roll with that. follows]

[theshadowturnedhero]

Yeah, that's what I figured, so any tricks I could do, you could probably explain away as just being magic you don't know. [Let's head down the hall.]

[pyropathic_ambicide]

Prettty much.

[folloooww,looking around]

Is this some kind of... what. Theme hotel?

[theshadowturnedhero]

Thought so. [No point trying things when he can think of a somewhat reasonable argument against the 'proof.']

...is a hotel like an apartment or inn too? [Doo dee doo, let's head towards the plaaaants.]

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[........god why am i actually entertaining this




because i burned myself to death and was somehow brought here so really. why the fuck not. rubs a hand over her face]

It's an apartment building that's used like an inn.

[theshadowturnedhero]

So there's a difference between how they function? [Hey, might as well ask.]

Either way...it's not a theme anything. The plants have just grown this much. Who would want to go to a place like this? At least gardens have tended to paths.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[UPON REACHING THROUGH THE DOORS and seeing the plant life Saguaro doesn't hear you because she's too busy going]

What the fucking fuck??

[theshadowturnedhero]

Reason the gods want us.

Nature killed the last humans. They want us to replace them AND do their gardening.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

. . .

[just going to start wandering into the middle of it, trailing her fingers over some vines]

...You want me to believe everyone died to a bunch of trees?

[theshadowturnedhero]

When the plants are poison, they could. Especially when it's all of them.

[Following along, looking around.]

And not just the plants, but from some pretty aggressive animals too.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

[doesn't sound concerned, but has fire out again, not for you this time]

So if I burn this place out, then what?

[theshadowturnedhero]

....

A lot of fire makes a lot of smoke and there's no easy escape route for the smoke. And people generally need to breathe.

The fact no one ELSE has decided to set fire to the whole place should be telling, don't ya think?

[pyropathic_ambicide]

Sooo make a chimney. Put a fucking hole in the roof. Open a window. Shit they're just plants.

[theshadowturnedhero]

We are lacking windows. It was a pretty big deal when some people actually did manage to find a way out into the sunshine.

The plants also have a rather quick growth rate. You can actually see some of them growing and it not be some metaphor for boredom.

And your world needs more plant monsters, some of them can be really terrible to fight against.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

My world doesn't have any plant monsters. But I bet the things here burn just as well as anywhere else.

[theshadowturnedhero]

They can be a real pain. Especially if you're careless.

But just because things can burn doesn't mean you should burn it. There's smoke, and considering some plants can make poisonous stuff when ya burn it normally, I'm sure something around here is poisonous if ya burn it and we don't have a lot of airways yet. Not ta mention there's power limitations, so starting off a bunch of fires, even if ya CAN control the flames, just seems like it's gonna end badly.

[pyropathic_ambicide]

Don't worry. I'm not going to set your precious little castle on fire and smoke you all out.

[theshadowturnedhero]

Lady, ya threw a fireball at me because I told ya to calm down. I honestly would not be surprised if I woke up to a wall of smoke later.
