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.]

[wouldntkilladragon]

It depends on what you want me to help with.

[karlsefni]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Shakes his head.] Too direct.

[karlsefni]

[ . . . . but the fire isnt even related directly to saving unicorns ]

--what about a. . . [ w...word.... ] hint?

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Considers.] Doesn't it seem too soft for a spark?

[karlsefni]

. . . . [ picks up a rock ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Waiting.]

[karlsefni]

[ taking another stone

...rubs? No this isn't hard enough--striking the rock instead.

it doesn't work but he drops one, and pulls out his knife to strike at the remaining rock.. ]

[wouldntkilladragon]

[Your test man, guess it depends how determined you are to make that fire or something.]

[karlsefni]

[ you should know that i am very determined in everything, which means that i get a spark!! FUCK YEAH ]

[ okay dropping the rock to collect sticks and make a pile!! WE ARE GOING PLACES ]

Whatever. [ grabbing a stick that is on fire ] At least it's done.

[wouldntkilladragon]

Yeah. So now we have light. Now what?

[karlsefni]

[ pursing his lips as he looks around, torchthing following to give him light. ]
