[It's a lovely day out on the recently purified island! No point in staying cooped up in the train all the time, let's stretch those muscles!

The jungle around the train has given way to peaceful woods, full of the song of birds and pleasant dappled shade. The branches are heavy with ripe fruit, begging to picked and tasted. There's apple like fruit with a sweet and pleasant taste, a strangely savory and spicy fruit encased in a coconut-like shell, herbs and flowers that smell like they would be fine to cook or brew tea with (but are protected by sharp thorns, be careful!) and tart grape-like fruits on vines that produce a brief feeling of chatty euphoria. But maybe shoving exotic plants isn't your style. Maybe you'd just prefer a walk, or a jaunt through the caves?

Further afield there's a whole town to explore, still in the tainted regions of the island! Perhaps one wants to look around, or see if they can salvage some supplies from the buildings. But watch out for the giant reptiles! They have an awfully strong appetite!

Or maybe you'd like a trip to the beach? It's a fine day, with a nice breeze. Just be careful. High tide is coming, and the tainted water isn't too far off, waiting to drag you under...]

((ooc: an all purpose exploration/mingle post! Refer to this post for details about the town and whatever else on the island that one may wish to explore!))

Like I said - easy to store, easy to hide. Most people have an animal like a wyvern or a griffin for flight travel but animals don't like the undead.

...You don't really have witch folktales where you're from, do you?

I wouldn't say most, but people that can afford to keep a flying steed ... griffin is the most common. Or wyvern. Brooms don't eat a lot or make noise. Improvement, I think.

[Emilia smiles a bit at the witch assertion.]

In storybooks where I'm from they always have brooms to fly on, black cauldrons for potions, black cats, big pointed hats. I like the concept, although I never really did get the hang of potions.
