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!

"I'm fine, thank you," Sabriel said, a small smile twisting her features as she conjured another light to join the one hovering by her knees.

"Although others may have some use for it- or a pack of matches."
casaerotica13: (bad timing)

"Ain't got those," he said with a little smile. At least he was a Good Samaritan today. That's more than most days. "Nice trick."

"Magic has its uses," Sabriel said, smiling a little, "Though it's not enough to find a path past this temple, apparently." Or cleanse the corruption.

"Have you found anything interesting in this place?"
casaerotica13: (youre odd)

"I found that you can't fly either," he grumbled, but raised the prize he held in one hand. "Nabbed this cool sword, though. Has a more rapier look than I'm used to, but it's apparently magical or something. I don't know. I'm sure it wanted my blood for something creepy like that.

"You?"

"Blood?" Sabriel didn't look happy about that, "I haven't found anything yet, beyond a few candles and a guide to what plants around here are edible."
casaerotica13: (wait)

"Kind of a contract sort of thing. I'm sure it's fine." It's probably not, but ask if he cares. This whole thing was... supposedly temporary, anyway.

"Where'd you get that stuff? Pretty sure I didn't see a gift shop."
bindsthedead: (art-pensive)

"It seems to be stored in various parts of the building- well, the parts that haven't collapsed anyway," Someone must have lived here once. Sabriel wasn't sure she wanted to know what had happened to them.
casaerotica13: (would you look at that)

[personal profile] casaerotica13 2014-02-22 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
"I haven't really snooped around, actually." He did take a second to glance around now, but nothing shiny caught his eye right then. "I'm not really much on souvenirs anyway, but it could always be cool."
bindsthedead: (curious)

[personal profile] bindsthedead 2014-02-24 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"You should keep looking- maybe you'll find something useful that everyone else missed," Sabriel suggested, "If the swamp was trying to keep us out of here, it must have been for a reason."
casaerotica13: (hurhur)

[personal profile] casaerotica13 2014-03-02 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"It was definitely for a reason, but it probably wasn't treasure hunting. Still, I'll take you up on that. There's always time to take a look around."
