CROSSROADS ※ 1: DISCUSSION POST [mod event] [video] [open]

Okay, so those bird dudes weren't lying about the different paths. I found the crossroads they're talking about.

[Kon really shouldn't be tromping around alone like this so much but he's used to being nigh on invincible. It's going to take a while for him to get used to the idea that he's not.]

[The road was all overgrown but there is a road through the woods - and it leads here, to a place where the line of the forest breaks into wide fields of golden grasses. Kon sets up his mirror to expand to its largest side and leaves it to float. There's a crossroads here with a battered wooden sign. The wood is so faded and weathered that words can no longer be read on it.]

[The path splits off into three paths. Down the left-most path, the unlabeled path leads down a dark and dreary road towards some hills. One hill can be seen all the way in the distance, standing out above the others. Rising a thousand feet above the rest of the land around it, it's covered in battered ruins that offer at least some shelter from the elements and cover from potential enemies.]

[Down the center path, the path clearly leads to a sinister-looking wild forest, a dark and dreary wood that seems filled with endless shadows. The path disappears into the woods and the tangled branches make it impossible to see into the forest's depths, especially at this distance.]

[Down the right-most path, there's candy. No joke. Dirt and normal plants start to give way to cobblestones made of hard candy and sugar-spun delicate trees. Gummdrops line the side of the road. The other two paths are grim, with even the hilly path dim from cloudy skies, but this path seems to have clear skies and constant sun.]

[Kon stands in front of the mirror, so that the paths are behind him.]

So our choices are: the Land of the Hill Trolls, Mirkwood, and Candyland.

[He narrows his eyes.]

I don't trust Candyland. [He gestures vaguely at it.] The other two roads have the good graces to be creepy from the get-go, but that looks deceptively nice. It's trying way too hard to be cheerful and sunshine-ey.

[ooc: See the OOC Post here.]

It's not about poop jokes if it's a legitimate question.

Indeed. It makes life bearable. Although still incredibly irritating...

Worth studying and figuring out the how, certainly.
coiledscales: (I see you)

[personal profile] coiledscales 2018-04-19 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Well, don't come crying to me when you get cursed, then.

As you command, My Lady.

Were we not lacking in knowledge, I would feel more at ease with the choice we must needs make.

[Candy Mountain is out of the question.

Just look at it.]


Our ranks would be more easily defended from the ruins. 'Tis a valuable advantage, and we should wholly presume that our numbers would be set upon, regardless of route.

Isn't it weird how nobody's even thinking of going through Candyland? The ruins and the forest are all obviously dangerous, but Candyland doesn't follow their pattern at all.

So we automatically think it's the worst option.

What if it isn't?
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup hmm)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2018-04-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Because things are never that easy. That and Huginn and Muginn did say there was something wrong with all three options.

"Something wrong" is a pretty vague statement.

We'd be fools to not make use of a superior vantage point.

What a loathsome notion... that we must worry about such things. -She sighs, shaking her head. But yeah, fuck Candy Mountain.-
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup hmm)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2018-04-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Something wrong to the point that they're too terrified to fly anywhere near any of the paths is slightly less so.

That said, I think the forest is the worst choice.

[personal profile] loadme 2018-04-19 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be willing to volunteer!

For as much trouble as he seems to go through, he doesn't sound very creative with his names.

Being a vegetarian here is just out of the question, huh.

Am I gonna what?

[Someone's gonna have to teach them about economic systems someday, huh?]
shipoftheseus: (suck it)

[personal profile] shipoftheseus 2018-04-19 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's not awful. At least there's food for everyone else here. And much comfier beds.

[They can't help but sound very slightly smug in saying so. Give them a break, there are few luxuries a rock can actually appreciate.]
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup hmm)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2018-04-19 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not much, really. We've got plenty of hides. I could use thread though. If you could start unraveling one of the sheets that should work.

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2018-04-19 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Tanning...kind of takes months. The hides will do until we get to The Last Homely house, though. We have those, so we'd probably better off just splitting the work of putting together the shoes between us.

It does look that way at first glance.

It's a fucking- you know what, nevermind. I got better shit to do than explain jokes to rocks.

[personal profile] cleansingstrike 2018-04-19 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
This... Candyland. I've not seen such foodstuffs before.

I would think it disorienting on sight alone.

[There's so many colors.]

shipoftheseus: (why this)

[personal profile] shipoftheseus 2018-04-19 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ this face ]

I think you just suck at jokes.
awfulcer: (Angry - Putting on Jacket)

[personal profile] awfulcer 2018-04-19 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
I think you just suck a lot of things.
shipoftheseus: (suck it)

[personal profile] shipoftheseus 2018-04-19 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'm pretty much perfect.
awfulcer: (Angry - In His Own Stationhouse)

That's not what I was saying.
shipoftheseus: (full of shit)

[personal profile] shipoftheseus 2018-04-19 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ joke's on you dixon, they don't even know what a blowjob is ]

Wow, you really need to get better at jokes. There's no point if no one can even tell what the joke is.
