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.]

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

A what?

[This is . . . this is almost a joke.

She knows exactly what a vegetarian is.]

[Whether or not she's aware of the joke, Monika doesn't particularly pick up on it.]

Ah, it's when you don't eat meat. I've actually been going at it for a couple of years, now.

Or, I was. I don't think I can keep that up over here.

[Sariatu lets her deadpan stare linger a little longer than is probably polite.]

I wish you luck with that.

I'm sure it won't be too hard to get used to eating meat again...
astrarche: (With the weight of the world)

[personal profile] astrarche 2018-04-22 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, hunger is the best seasoning.

[personal profile] loadme 2018-04-30 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, that's one way of looking at it!

You know what they say. Beggars can't be choosers.
astrarche: (for a heart that is broken)

[personal profile] astrarche 2018-05-02 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
No. They can't.

[Still.]

You're having to compromise your ideals to keep yourself alive here. I understand that's a difficult situation to be in. Don't make the mistake of not taking care of yourself.

[They are . . . for what it's worth . . . all in this quest together.

And Monika seems so young and unprepared.]

[personal profile] loadme 2018-05-08 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
It makes me really glad to hear you say that.

[You don't even know here, but here you are.]

None of us look like we're from around here, so we're all in a pretty rough spot. Some definitely more than others, I'd say.

At the very least, we'll never be short of company!

And exercise!
