OOC INFORMATIONCITY OF KEELIAIINSIDE THE BOTTLETHE 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!

For some funny reason I don't think these trees don't like playing fairly.

[Spider-Girl drops down from a nearby tree, maybe without warning. Whoops.]

Can't say I'm a fan of the screaming, personally. No way to make friends.
backwordscompatible: (he wanted to party okay)

[You know.]

[One would think she'd be used to looking up more often. And yet, this makes the second tree dweller that she's come across. Just as colorful as the last one, too--at least, this time around, she recognized the spandex of a costume.]


Did they tell you that, personally, or are you just making a wild guess?
daughteroftheoriginal: (Default)

Re: open

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-02-21 09:01 am (UTC)(link)

[See, that's the thing. People don't always look up. Which is how she manages to get the drop on bad guys so often.]

Wild guess. Even if these were talking trees I'm not sure they'd oblige us with saying anything. No ent-moots for them.

I don't like these trees that much, but I don't think my ears can take much more of that screaming.

[Not to mention that sap's going to make navigating the trees that much more harder.]

backwordscompatible: (Rude much?)

[Curses. Foiled by her low center of gravity.]

So how do we shut them up? It's not like we can put duct tape over their mouths. I still can't even find the mouths.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Hmm)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-02-23 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[You should look into learning some acrobatics, girl.]

My guess? Not ripping them up would help. Not that I can say I have much sympathy when they deserve it.

[Attacking, screaming trees are definitely low on her list there.]
backwordscompatible: (wallflower)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-02-23 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She would've, except her favorite acrobat isn't here anymore. :c]

Doesn't really seem to be working so far.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Chat)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Aw, maybe someone else can help out with that?]

Taking the path of least violence has been working out for me pretty well, so far.

[Then again, she can turn on a dime if she has to thanks to her spider-like agility.]

Spider-Girl, by the way. I'd say neighborhood friendly, too, but this isn't exactly the sort of neighborhood I'd want to claim. I'll take anywhere in Queens over a swamp any day. Heck, maybe even New Jersey.
backwordscompatible: (peripheral glance)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-01 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe....]

[She grins a bit at the Jersey crack. A joke only a genuine New Yorker would crack.]


New Jersey? I'm not sure I would go that far. The Jersey Shore, maybe. But that's a big maybe.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Spider-sense)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-02 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's not like it- hold on-

[Spider-sense? Definitely tingling! She quickly spins to the side, letting loose impact webbing at a really, really considerably large mosquito- that thing had to be bird sized!- coming at them, sending it into one of the trees. She stares at it for a moment in obvious disbelief.]

You know, I think I'll upgrade New Jersey from that maybe, unless they get bloodsuckers that big.
backwordscompatible: (no words)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-02 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[...wow]

Those are some pretty impressive reflexive for somebody who's got her eyes and ears covered up.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Headshot)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-07 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow? At her? You're the one who was slicing and dicing those trees like it was a breeze!]

I do have spider-like reflexes.
backwordscompatible: (job well done)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, yeah, but she could actually see them coming.]

And that explains the costume.

So what's your story? Or is that supposed to be a secret, too?
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider]  Tilt)

Aah I just found this one I'm so sorry

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-21 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Would you believe it involves a radioactive spider?

[One that bite her dad, but really, it's the why of them having spider-powers at all.]
backwordscompatible: (Interested)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-25 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
That depends.

Does it actually involve a radioactive spider, or are you just testing to see how much I would believe?
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Chat)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-25 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of column A, a little of column B?

I mean, this is a pretty weird business.
backwordscompatible: (gather 'round)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-25 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I inherited powers from my dad that require me to talk backwards to make magic happen. One of my friends grew up underwater. Another could run just shy of the speed of sound because he accidentally blew himself up once. My ex could hack just about anything, to the point where I'm not sure I believed him when he told me he wasn't a metahuman.

Weird kind of comes with the territory.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Hmm)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-25 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
It really does.

That really sounds like an interesting team you've got there. A little bit of everything except someone to punch stuff.
backwordscompatible: (peripheral glance)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-25 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
That...would be Superboy's job.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Thinking)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-27 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so I stand corrected. You really do have a little bit of everything.
backwordscompatible: (ta-da)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-27 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
We're like the pokemon of superheroes.

Gotta catch them all, right?
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Chat)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-03-30 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Personally, I don't advocate trying to catch superheroes. It just makes you look like a badguy at best.
backwordscompatible: (meeting the father)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-03-31 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Or said superheros' legal guardians....
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider]  Tilt)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-04-02 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Those too. So, oh mysterious person, what should I call you?

You don't exactly strike me as someone who'd go by something like 'Magic-Girl'.

[Then again, who's she to judge?]
backwordscompatible: (chillin')

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2014-04-02 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Few have tried. None have succeeded.

And you can just call me by my name. Zatanna.
daughteroftheoriginal: ([Spider] Hmm)

[personal profile] daughteroftheoriginal 2014-04-03 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
'Zatanna'. Much more catchy than my suggestion.

Not the sort to bother with secret identities, I take it?
