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!

[She was also on foot, having unsuccessfully attempted to fly out. Monet's soaked in swampy water from having fought a few plants earlier, deliberately causing as much damage as possible out of pettiness for the smell, and godknowswhat that's sticking to her. Her sensitive hearing is definitely not impressed by the screaming, whether it's nearby or coming from some other enterprising soul who's hacking away at the vines, and she has to stop and lean against something when she feels a headache coming on.]

[She hisses a few choice curses as the branches attack, and does her best to fend them off, not hearing Diana approach.]

( diana spots her as the branches start attacking with earnest. she steps to monet's side instinctively, raising an arm to guard the other woman on one side. the branches crack against her skin and the trees screech their protest. )

They're certainly persistent.

[Monet moves to lash out viciously and stops when Diana steps in, a moment of surprise (and reactionary annoyance, she had this under control) when the branches hit her skin and crack, instead of driving Diana back. So she's a metahuman.]

It's almost as though they don't want us getting through the swamp.

[She huffs as a few branches come at her from the other side.]

Do they ever stop screaming?

They don't, obviously. Why else would Alderwood have ordered all of us to come?

( clearly if this was going to be easy, a smaller number could have accomplished it. a branch whacks diana just to the right of her eye, and though it doesn't hurt her she flinches and steps back.

she releases her breath in a huff. )


They haven't yet, sister. Likely the only way to be rid of them is to get through.

[Automatically:] I'm not your sister.

[She tilts her chin up, reflexively, and her defiant expression quickly turns to annoyance as another branch crashes into her. This one Monet catches and pushes back, because if she broke it there'd be more screaming, and she's had enough of a headache for one day.]

[She steps back to Diana's side.]

At this rate we'll be through indeed - death by smelly swamp. That's a new one.
