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!

[ The blow hurts but not enough to dissuade him... if anything, seeming to make him more determined to get her to listen. He doesn't let himself think about her words, not right now, not when he knows that something was -- had been -- affecting both of them. ]

Even if what I'm saying doesn't make sense to you right now, please just trust me.

[She let out a sound that was a half laugh, half scoff.]

Trust you? That's a good one.

Name one reason why I should.

Because we're friends and because you've never let me down. Name me one reason why you shouldn't.

Let's get one thing straight right now.

[Closing most of the gap between them, she placed a single pointer finger against his chest as she stared into his eyes with nothing but cool indifference, save for the hint of annoyance behind it.]

We are not friends. And I don't trust you. I don't even like you. Nothing personal, really. I don't like anyone.

Now, for the last time, leave me alone before I start to get really pissed off.

No, I'm not going to leave you alone and I don't care if you get pissed at me.

[Her eyes narrowed at that, the last of her patience gone. Without another word of protest, she simply raised a hand and pressed her palm against his forehead. A single, twisted spell was all it took to freeze the Winter Spirit in place once more. A mix of what she had previously done to him, and what he had done to her.]

[With that, she purposely took her first few steps backwards, so she could look into his unmoving gaze one last time before walking off.]

I warned you.

Just remember...all this could've been avoided if you'd just finished what you started.

[Then she spun on her heels, so that all he would be able to see was her back slowly sauntering away, knowing he was powerless to follow.]

Don't worry. The spell'll wear off eventually. Probably.

...good thing you didn't really need to breathe, right?
