Leif - Earth Stone

[the_last]

[As soon as Leif chomps on the fruit, he will experience sudden disorientation, as if suddenly unfamiliar with being inside his body, perhaps not even knowing why he is there or who he is. It lasts for but a moment and then slowly fades... He will suddenly find himself in a place that seems unusually quiet and gray, as though the color were stolen but there remains just enough to suggest that things have been greatly subdued. There are also about three spots in the distance that seem to almost glow with gentle hues of color, soft and welcoming. Too bad, they seem much too far away to reach.

Within the gray is an expansive forest of every tree imaginable and dry, brittle grass that extends to mid-calf. Here and there, one might even spot some faded prints left upon the ground. The sky is equally gray, although not one cloud can be seen. But a dark mist seems to swirl around the forest, not too thick but clearly present.]

[ BY SITTING DOWN AND THINKING. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Well then.]

[That's something.]

[karlsefni]

[ nightmare rider i am doing my best be proud of me ]

[ arms crossed. . . . !! there is a lot of serious thinking going on here. ]


. . . .what do unicorns like to eat?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shrugs.] Pretty sure they're plant eaters.

[karlsefni]

[ but i'm p sure nothing in this forest would be edible anyway


. . . .

. . . . . . . . ]

[karlsefni]

. . . . . . . [ gets up ]

I'm going back.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Oh? Why?

[karlsefni]

[ points into the direction they were headed ]

I can't see shit here.

[ points to the direction they came from ]

. . . . . . I heard a lot of noises there. That's. . . probably the herd. If they eat plants. . . [ brief pause, thinking. ] They'll probably eat stuff horses eat, which would be grass. Sooo. . . open field, not creepy dark forest.

[wouldntkilladragon]

...well, that's pretty good reasoning. Lead the way.

[karlsefni]

You told me to think, so I'm doing that.

[ gonna head back!! ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

That I did.

[Following.]

[karlsefni]

[ . . . . ' ^ ' yes good I finally got some approval okay //// ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[WAS IT APPROVAL? WAS IT REALLY?]

[karlsefni]

[ YOU CALLED MY REASONING GOOD AND AT THIS POINT I'LL TAKE ANYTHING I CAN GET ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[:')]

[Well, he's following for now, letting you lead the way.]

[karlsefni]

[ . . . . APPARENTLY THIS JUST LEADS INTO MORE DARKNESS THO


WHY ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[After a while...]

You're lost, aren't you?

[karlsefni]

—No! [ FOREST???? FOREST WHY ] It was this way—

[wouldntkilladragon]

Sure doesn't look like it.

[karlsefni]

But—[ i am too paranoid to NOT keep track of the direction i am going in, why forest ] Shit! What the hell!

[wouldntkilladragon]

Did you just randomly walk around the forest before I found you?

[APPARENTLY NOT PARANOID ENOUGH.]

[karlsefni]

No, I was walking straight! So I could find my way out!!

[wouldntkilladragon]

I don't think that works in a forest. It's easy to drift to the side.

[karlsefni]

[ hhhrdhdhdbdbdbbfb ] Fuck!

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shakes his head.] Need to always keep a target in mind...
