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.]

[At least he seems a bit more assertive right now. Detective mode fuckin' on.]
no subject
[A shrug.]
I mean somebody needs to try it, right?
no subject
Ah...you don't have to. I mean, if it really is poisonous or something...
[ he's not saying you need to be the test subject for the rest of them oh my god ]
I just meant we shouldn't bank on that when it's so obviously suspicious...
no subject
[Kon kneels down and starts taking some candy samples. For a second, it looks like he might try them now, but then a thought occurs to him, and he wraps them in a little cloth and puts them in his shabby knapsack.]
Besides, we have a couple healers right? If it's poison, they can probably heal whoever tries it if they get sick.
If everyone decides that's the best path to take, I'm willing to play guinea pig. I'll just do it with some healers on standby.
no subject
Oh. That's...a better idea, I guess.
[He still looks uncomfortable thinking someone will play human test subject, especially given the "magic" healers he's heard of being relied on in this scenario. But at least no one's eating anything right this second? That's a problem for later.]

That way some of you can give it the sniff test and we can have the healers ready to roll if it's poison.
