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.]

[ Robbie shakes his head melodramatically. Yes, it's all because Arcade doesn't stick around and let himself be caught. ]
From what I've heard and read? Yep, your own custom-designed Dismaland. It's enough to make you wonder how much these assassin gigs pay, because some of them have been fully functional theme parks before the trap was sprung.

[ Man, if he never had to run into the Joker again in his lifetime, it would still be too soon. The fact that Tim must regularly have to deal with the guy still put a shiver up his spine. Especially after what he'd said about the last Robin.
If this Arcade was anything like the Joker, then he could see why Robbie would want everyone staying as far away from Candy Land as possible. ]

Then he's some sort of crazy, murderous billionaire, like the dude in The Most Dangerous Game on a huge scale. It's worse, cause that's the kind of money that protects people. If he has go-fuck-yourself money, they'll never send him to prison.
[ ... huh. Maybe he should talk to his teammates about taking out that trash when he gets home. ]
