EVENT | LANDFALL | KITHIKA | BOTTLE
Characters: ALL!
Date: February 12th - 28th
Location: Kithika, inside the bottle
Situation: The discovery of an artifact from the first war against Malicant reveals the land of Kithika within a dimension of the Death Plane... and just happens to be contained inside a bottle.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.
OOC INFORMATION ♦ CITY OF KEELIAI ♦ INSIDE THE BOTTLE ♦ THE WORLD EATER
Arriving in Kithika is unpleasant for the most part. Transport through the glass vessel deposits you in the middle of a thick and murky swamp, with air so hot and humid it feels as though one is breathing through a wet towel. This is a place of perpetual night and there are no celestial bodies visible overhead through the twisted vines to break up the blackness, making the only light visible that which comes clumps of marsh fungus that emit a steady glow in a variety of muted colours: pale blue, whitish green, watery mauve. The only other light comes from those who can generate it themselves and that will reveal numerous broad-leaved trees, in some places standing too thick to move through. Below, knee-deep water laps in swirls at their legs, accompanied by the occasional slithery feel of something moving in the bracken against wet limbs, gone before it can be identified. A variety of strange noises from creatures of the swamp fill the air with buzzing and hoarse croaking, interrupted by the screech of mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds darting past and hungry for a meal.
---
OOC NOTE: Characters will not be able to progress past the Temple and the Grounds for 48 IC hours after which point, the way to continue onward to find the dragon will be discovered. The second log will be posted on the 17th, to help spread out the tagging. Thank you!

Yes, Holiday. Strike up a conversation in a swamp.
no subject
Which, if Nita were to be pressed on the matter, she might admit was a good thing. Atlantis was also pretty warlike, and relations with the surface had never been smooth.
no subject
"That's interesting, if nothing else."
no subject
"You got any ideas better than just smashing our way through?"
no subject
"I'm sure there's some sort of pattern or nature to these. The trees are too aware. There has to be something that repels them. Maybe fire?" Or maybe something in the environment? She looked around.
no subject
"Still, you're probably onto something. Quests like this usually have their solutions lying around somewhere." In a universe where gods were real and sometimes showed up to offer advice to kings of Atlantis, you got used to playing by mythological rules when you had to.
no subject
"Maybe they don't like this fungus. None of the trees are touching it."
no subject
"Huh, did that look like it moved a little?" Of course it moved, Nita, you poked it with a stick. "...The branch, I mean. Not the glowy stuff."
no subject
Though, she... did give the tree branch an odd look. "I... didn't see anything... Why? What do you mean?" It's just a tree branch. Well, those trees have been kinda weird so far. Holiday watched closer.
no subject
More slowly this time, Nita held the broken branch out towards the fungus, and sure enough, the twigs at the end curled out of the way in an attempt to avoid contact with the glowing mass.
"...Okay, that's pretty freaky."
no subject
"... Well, I think I know of a way to get through these trees." She crouched down to get a better look at the stuff. "Now, how do we transport it without touching it?"
no subject
"Not that I want to do these creepy trees any favors, but..." Nita shrugged. She wanted the vine more than she wanted to spite some maybe-sentient trees.
no subject
Still, she watched as the other woman tore a vine from a nearby tree. "At least it's only the trees that seem to be aware." Sentient vines just sounded scary.
no subject
"Yeah, I think that's long enough." She frowned for a moment, dredging up memories of childhood lessons, and then started to weave the vine back and forth over its own length, the beginnings of a small net bag rapidly emerging from her hands.
no subject
This one's full of surprises.
no subject
She might talk like a college student from New York, but Nita grew up in a very, very different culture.
no subject
"It's also good to know if we ever come across a questionable substance that even trees refuse to touch."
no subject
no subject
no subject
She tested the construction of her improvised bag by tugging at it lightly, then started to weave in the trailing end of the vine.
no subject
no subject
Not that she remembered that, given the complicated time travel shenanigans that had governed her life immediately before arriving on Tu Vishan.
