Y-you know what? Fine! I don't need you anyways!! Alex ran off, trying to get away from this stranger. He found a small cave behind a few trees and sat down. That was when he realized what he had said; Melody had got to him. Look at what you did... you worthless wreck. You can't even get help from someone. You're gonna die out here. she said, before Alex turned his music up more. It was getting too loud for his ears to take. But if he turned it back down, she'd be on him in seconds. He needed help. Fast. Alex rose and headed out, looking for a village, town or something to help him on his journey back home.

(Alex is open for anyone to interact with FYI)

Day 1/ Antithesis/ Where: Willow Woods

As Antithesis walked back to his own path, something occurred to him. Why didn't he just climb a tree? A vantage point would be invaluable in this strange place. Finding a good, tall, tree, Antithesis started scaling.

At the top, his eyes were met with a massive canopy of green, broken, thankfully, by what appeared to be some kind of village, not too far from where he was. Best start heading to civilization and finding out where he was. Maybe find a new job, if he was lucky.

(So sorry for taking so long too respond. Was a rough past few days but I'm back now. )

Whinry stepped back hesitantly. 'I'm sorry to have disturbed you. I never even thought about watching you. I didn't even know anyone lived further out in the woods than I did.' She called, a little shaky from the adrenaline. Blood dripped from her wound and began pooling at her feet. 'It's uhhhh, really cool tree house. I just have a boring regular house. She chuckeled, feeling more and more light headed by the minute.

Day 1/Ashley/420/Fire Demon/Where: Sacred Summit/With: Myre

Before Ashley could respond, she heard a familiar voice echo through the cave behind her.
Oh flamey! Are you still up there?
Ashley slung her stick and bag over her shoulder.
Uh-oh, we gotta move. Ashley said. The freaky purple dude I was escaping from is following me. Do you know a way out of this cave?

Day 1/Vengar/28/Bordix/Where: Willow Woods/With: Victor, Anuza, ?, and Daojing

Vengar turned around to see that the lizard had followed him.
Wow, you sure caught up to me fast. Vengar said, impressed. He turned to face the dragon and others, hoping for answers. So do any of you know where we are then? What are your names? Where are you from?

Day 1/Max/10/Cat Humanoid/Where: The Sacred Summit/With: no one (open for interaction though)

Max wandered around aimlessly. She obviously had gotten lost. Thinking hard, she tried retracing her steps, but oddly enough couldn’t remember a single detail about how she traveled to this point. She could remember that she had spent what was most likely hours exploring, but any detail of the venture was wiped from her memory. It was probable that she was dehydrated. In fact, it was most likely that her lack of sleep also played into her inability to retain information longer than five seconds. Maybe a short cat nap would revive her energy…

She found a small niche in the tunnel and sat down against the wall. This tunnel, for as much as she knew, could have been going on ever since she entered this place, without any deviations, or she could have turned into it just five minutes ago. She hated how little difference time made; she couldn’t remember anything about these caves. Max took a deep breath and let the feeling wash over her: she was lost.

Holding onto the feeling of lost, she grabbed at the pendant around her neck. Lost… The only thing she was in that moment was lost. The tunnel gave way to utter and complete nothingness, and she looked around in the void, completely alone. The only sound she heard was her own heartbeat, and she thought about how she had no idea what to do next. She clung tighter to the pendant, feeling the carving of an eye with her thumb. She knew the three words engraved in the metal by heart, and said them to herself, over and over. “Never truly apart, never truly apart…. Never. Truly. Apart.”

She felt a wave of emotion come over her suddenly, her hand buzzing with the pendant in her palm. Reassurance. It was such a relief to feel someone else’s feelings again. Reassurance felt amazingly good… though as she explored the feeling coursing through her arm, she felt it was tinted by some other feeling. Urgency. She worried a bit, concerned that Xelan had come into a tense situation, but knew she could do nothing about it. Comforted by the fact that he tried extremely hard to put her feelings first, she sent back gratitude, and let go of the pendant. Reality adjusted back around her, bleak as it was, and she curled up on the floor.

Sleep was quite welcome.



Day 1/Xelan/10/Cat Humanoid/Where: The Willow Woods/With: no one (open for interaction though)

Xelan took a deep breath, readjusting his robe and resting his hand briefly on the clasp that held it over his shoulders. He wished he was just a little more brave. He had never been the brave one, and had learned to accept that. But here, outside of his comfort zone, he regretted not building on his flaws at least a little more.

He was sweating up a storm, and it really wasn’t that hot out. On paper, his plan sounded fine. But the truth was, he was a little too inexperienced for this mission. Okay, maybe a lot too inexperienced. The worst thing about it was that it was pretty simple mission: explore the forest, record any bandits he found. There were some that were rumored to be notorious, and he wasn’t expected to fight any of them. It was a spying mission.

… A spying mission for himself. Mostly, he just wanted to be able to have a record of thieves and where they were so he could easily avoid them later. He expected that he would have to travel through here often, seeing as most of the towns in any part of the surrounding radius were located in various spots throughout the forest. To be perfectly honest? He was scared of even just the idea of fighting. He didn’t know how Max did it, she wanted to fight everyone and everything. She was constantly prepared for a battle, even at her worst. But Xelan couldn’t even magic missile a practice target, he was so terrified of violence. He quivered to his very bones just thinking about it.

A sound interrupted his thoughts. He cocked his head, repositioned his ears, pinpointing the location, on total alert. He turned slightly to the left, sweating three times as much now, and—

Suddenly he felt like he got knocked in the chest. He fell over backwards, confused where he was, feeling utterly lost, even though he had plotted his exact point on the map three minutes ago. Nothing made sense anymore. He couldn’t tell right from left, couldn’t even stand up. Which way was up, again? He felt for the clasp on his robe, and when his fingertips brushed the cold surface, his hand tingled so much it went almost completely numb. Max was the one who was lost. She wanted help. But what could Xelan do? The only thing that came to mind was to try and provide some sort of emotional stability. He cleared his head and imagined the world falling away, pictured two people alone, but very far apart. Himself and Max. He pictured a very strong, magical strand that stretched the distance between them, however far apart they really were. They were never truly separated. Concentrating his energy into one, singular movement, he said, “It’s going to be okay.”

Max seemed to have been better than him at everything since the beginning, and he always felt it showed through the most in her ability to knock him down completely with such raw emotion. He had to concentrate so much to be able to send one back, and even then it was plain, simple, neat. Not nearly as powerful. He didn’t have to feel it to know that’s how it was.

Xelan fell over again as he was overwhelmed by the feeling of gratitude.

Myre nodded, agreeing with someone for once. She had heard the voice and wasn't quite sure if she trusted it. "I came in through this way." She formed longer legs, taking huge steps through the cavern. "Keep up please, I don't have time to wait around." She huffed as she neared one of the many cave exists. She stepped outside, blinking in the sudden light. "Ugh. It's brighter than before." She muttered.

Don't tell him where you're from. Don't tell him where you're from. Don't tell him where you're from.
Don't tell him where you're from. Don't tell him where you're from. Don't tell him where you're from. the voices chanted in his head. He closed his eyes to clear out the sounds, then looked back at Vengar and Anuza. "...Victor." He murmured softly. "My name is Victor Clueless. I was born in Staunton, Virginia." He replied, though he didn't think that would be much help to anyone.

Ethoni sped through the marketplace; a giant, red jewel in his hand. "When are you going to learn you'll never catch up with me, Aeron?" He shouted at the guard chasing him.
"As soon as you learn your place!"
"Oh yeah? And what place might that be?" As Ethoni bounded up to the roof of a building, he nodded a greeting at a group of merchants, and they all waved back.
"The castle dungeon!" Aeron replied as he attempted to follow, but ended up back on the ground due to his heavy armor.
Ethoni peered over the ledge of the flat rooftop and chuckled, "Sorry! Come back tomorrow and try again!" Then he proceeded to leap from roof to roof until he jumped onto a street. He had only just landed, when a different group of guards spotted him. There was only a moment where everyone froze before the chase started back up again, Ethoni seeming to be actually conserned this time. He didn't waste any running time for greetings, dashing through the crowds until he left the city. Only a couple guards followed past that point, but the ones that were left lost Ethoni when he leaped into the trees and sat on one of the highest branches.
"What an easy getaway for such a beautiful gem." He examined it more closely now; it was about half the size of his palm and sparkled as though the stars themselves were swimming in it. When he shifted himself to sit more comfortably, his grip loosened and the gem fell onto a lower branch. "Oh crumbcakes!" As he reached down for it, he lost his balance and fell out of the tree and... into a hole? How, uh... what the...? Why was there a hole on the ground in the middle of a forest? A forest that Ethoni spent a good deal of his life exploring, no matter. The gem, where is it? He began to panic for a moment, looking around in the small amount of light for the treasure. Remembering it landed on a branch, the hixirian looked back up out of the hole, to see it wasn't where it initially was. Even if the gem was still somewhere up there, there really wasn't any way to get back up to the surface. It seemed this lizard's only choice was to feel his way through the darkness for an exit. Ethoni took a deep breath, gulped, and stepped into the pitch black void before him.

Alex and Melody - Where: Willow Woods - With: Whinry
Alex was aimlessly walking through the forest wondering if the stranger would be okay. He seemed pretty capable but He didn't know where we were and even a capable person is useless when they're lost. he said under his breath. Ugh... I'm going nowhere! I feel like I've been walking in circles for hours! Alex broke into a dash. Maybe now he would be able to get "nowhere" faster. Suddenly, he stumbled into a clearing. He froze. There, in the center was a girl dripping with blood. She had been stabbed with a crossbow in her shoulder. Oh no... Alex whispered. Hey! Are you alright?! he shouted, running up to the girl.

Day 1/ Antithesis/ Where: Willow Woods/ With: Xelan

For a forest that initially seemed so empty, Antithesis was finding a lot of people. The person in question this time seemed to be some sort of cat person. Only a shade stranger than glittering trees. Despite it's apparent challenge with staying upright, this person could have some answers. Quickly scanning the surrounding trees for possible threats, Antithesis stepped forward, hand outstretched to help it up.

As Antithesis advanced, he noted a new aura about himself, meant to eliminate outgoing emotions. This person was an empath, nothing he hadn't dealt with before in his own world.

"Need a hand?"

[Polarfarina]

Day 1/Xelan/10/Cat Humanoid/Where: The Willow Woods/With: Antithesis

Xelan looked up, ears ringing. “Oh,” he said, startled by the man standing in front of him. He started sweating again. “Uhh…” His breathing was still unsteady, focus misaligned. It was as if he was looking at the man in front of him but his eyes just couldn’t see him clearly. He closed his eyes, relaxed. Or at least focused as well as he could on relaxation. Concentrated the way Max had showed him long ago.

He realized he was still sitting on the ground, legs sprawled out, and had only uttered two words to this man. Time was ticking by.

“Sorry! Yes, thank you,” he said, grabbing the stranger’s hand. Man, Max’s waves were powerful. He shook his head a bit to clear his thoughts. His vision focused, and he looked at the man again: short, fairly muscled, and thoroughly intimidating. He couldn't help it, even though he himself was over six and a half feet. He was just so scared of everything. “So, uuhh…” he said, voice breaking with nervousness, “what brings you to the forest?”



Day 1(??)/Max/10/Cat Humanoid/Where: The Sacred Summit/With: no one (open for interaction)

Max woke up with a sharp inhale that echoed throughout the tunnel. For a moment, her breath and elevated heartbeat were all she could hear, while she sat up and thought about where she was. Enveloped in darkness, there truly was nothing to see, though she could see nothing quite clearly. She wondered how much time had passed. She might as well have been asleep for no time at all, or three whole days, for all she knew, and she still felt awful. She thought back to why she was here.

Right. Treasure. She remembered her brother. She remembered… He fought her when she tried coming here. She wondered if, somehow, he ended up here, too… Also lost…

Don’t think about it. Too much going on right now. He said he was okay. Now we have to move forward. She thought about how lost she had been earlier… Everything seemed so pointless then. It still sort of did, to be perfectly honest. But there was nothing else to do.

Her only mission: Survive, and come out rich.

It seemed that might be harder than she thought. She had been told this was another land, but it seemed to be more than just that. The air here smelled different. Tasted different. Sounded different. She realized that everything here was completely, utterly foreign, and her senses had tipped her off to that before she had realized it.

She pushed herself to her feet, knee joints cracking, the left one louder than the other. Not quite as nimble as she used to be, not after what she’d been through. It didn’t matter though. She had a mission.

Survive, and come out rich.
