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!

[Pappy?] Yeah. I'm... well frankly I'm not used to a situation I can't punch my way out of. And yes, I know how crazy meatheaded that sounds.

[It's a pilot...father figure...tradition...thing.]

Hah, that doesn't sound so bad. I know a guy who thinks you can solve problem as long as you shoot at it enough. This place knows how to throw us through a loop. [He glances around for a moment.] There's not that much around here though. Mainly ruins, some crates and this fountain.
shorttempered: ([Inv] Eheheheh.. heh)

I'm sure if I had laser hands or something, I'd think that way too. [Mark tries to be nothing but honest about himself.]

Maybe I should punch a bunch of those crates to fix my bruised ego. [He looks down at the fountain.] I've been here a while now and I can't help but wonder what the deal is with all of these tchotchkes in there. I guess people take "wishing well" super seriously in this bottle.

He prefers semi-autos and machine guns, but he'd probably say the same thing about lasers. [Bucky is a special kind of guy.]

I'm used to just seeing pennies like the one back home in Central Park. These look a bit more...personal, I guess. Maybe that's how the wells work around here. [He pats the pockets on his shorts, but yeah, he's never been one for carrying much while he was flying. Most he's got is a couple juulan.]
shorttempered: ([Mark] Shut up William)

You know what I meant.

But yeah, that's what I meant. Pennies, dimes, quarters... not... is that a pendant?

[Toro looks, leaning a bit further in.] Pendants, ah...is that a little statue?

[It looked like one of a bear or some kind, but a lot of the animals were strange here.] What kind of wish can you make with a statue?
shorttempered: ([Mark] What was that?)

[personal profile] shorttempered 2014-03-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea.

If there's all this stuff, does that mean people were here before us? ...I hate to be That Guy, but I haven't exactly seen any skeletons laying around.
