It was a mess of squiggly lines that wove through the zone, tangling and untangling like knitted spaghetti. "Huh," he said, brows creasing. He'd been lost in the woods for almost an hour, and had only just stumbled upon a set of wooden signs. The three signs shared a signpost, and each of them had one tapered end to help point the way to their promised destination. The lettering was big, bold. As if the person who had painted on the letters had been incredibly sure of their directions. ^ \| ANTIGRAVITY PITFALL proclaimed the sign pointing directly upwards. Buzzster looked up, but all he saw was the afternoon sky, peeking through the crowded Autumn leaves. <-- THE MIGHTY SNEELUS said the sign pointing left. Buzzster assumed that a Sneelus was some type of Pokemon. He only had his starter, so he wasn't too intent on some big battle just yet. The last sign was attached right at the bottom of the sign, and it pointed straight down at the ground. \| YOU ARE NEAR HERE Well that wasn't helpful at all. V Zac huffed out a breath, and was about to try his luck with the Sneelus when he spotted a fourth sign. This one was nailed to the outside of a hollow log. GREEM JUNCTION --> said the sign, pointing into the darkness of the log. "Now that's more like it!" said Zac, feeling a surge of relief. A junction usually meant traffic. People, stores, assistance. He got on his hands and knees and crawled into the log in search of GREEM.

Ruby • Player Character Posts: 155 Trainer Class: Player Name: Dr. Ruby Walker Ph.D. OOC Username: Magnere Arena Points: 60	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Ruby on Jun 16, 2022 15:10:16 GMT 9 Ruby was frozen with indecision herself. She had only just arrived in these woods, and immediately her map had become worthless. These signs were pointing in nonsensical paths. It would be funny if she wasn't entirely lost. Two signs were nailed onto a tree, and judging by the looks they had been there quite a while as the tree itself had begun to grow over the signs. ~~MEDIOCRE CLEARING~~ one sign instructed pointing her to her left. However, the other sign pointing to her right also said ~~MEDIOCRE CLEARING~~. How could both directions lead to the same place? Or perhaps, were these two separate places and someone just really thought these clearings were just simply acceptable? Testing her luck, she began to walk in one of the directions. A path worn into the ground had been made apparent and she simply followed that. After about 15 minutes, the path did indeed open up to a clearing. And- "Hmm... You know, it is kind of mediocre." She would admit to herself. It was a decent place, but the ground was uneven and rocky, filled with roots. A nice place to sit and rest her worries after a hike, but not one to go for a picnic in. Looking around, she'd find more signs once more. <-- MEDIOCRE CLEARING MEDICORE CLEARING --> She went in a circle. It was the exact same signs. Giving up trusting these signs at all, Ruby stepped off the beaten path and just walked across the clearing, hoping to find something else of interest. And sure enough, another sign was eventually found. It seemed like no end to these in this place. A sign reading ~~GREEM JUNCTION~~ pointed straight up, embedded against a rocky cliff at the edge of the clearing. Figuring it was better than nothing, Ruby got her hands dirty as she climbed the small cliff, hoping to find another path at the top.

"Lot bloody longer than I'd figured from the look of it," he said, panting. He'd crawled for the better part of a mile and his arms were raw and ragged. Somewhere along the way he'd reached a fork in the log, and had used La Trixia's fire to see the internal signage more clearly. He'd followed the directions for ~~greem junction~~, of course, ignoring the sign that said ~~Fantastic Clearing~~, and now here he was. Somewhere along the way he'd taken off his coat jacket. The extra elbow padding had been nice at the start, but by the end he'd been cooking in the suit. He stood up, covered in wood-rubbings and moss-stains, and looked around his destination. A small sign in the middle of the clearing proudly proclaimed ~~Welcome to Green Junction~~. ~~Greem junction~~ was a lot of things. It was an overgrown clearing at the edge of a cliff, full of mushroom-claimed stumps. It was a meeting place for a dozen overgrown trails that all apparently pointed to ~~Mediocre Clearing~~ and it was apparently the spot where two-dozen Murkrow had set up nests in a burnt-out tree. He'd been expecting some sort of vibrant village, or maybe a jolly market like at the ren faire, but instead it was all just foliage. He was also certain that his eyes were playing tricks on him, because the whole place seemed to be covered in a thin, green-ish filter. I guess that's the greem, he thought, rubbing his eyes. "Go away!" cried one of the Murkrow, its hat bobbing in indignation. "This is our place!" said another, perched on the edge of its next. "Go!" "Squawk!" "Go!" "Whoa, whoa, fellas," Zac said, putting up his hands. "I'm just bloody trying to find my way out of here! I'm not causin' any trouble, am I?"
