welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games

Who: Y'all
When: Day 8 noonish
Where: THE JUNGLE

[So there is a mostly unexplored jungle out there.

It seems like a good day to explore it, eh?

Please look out for:

Venomous snakes, the smaller ones will leave you fevered and nauseas, the larger may stop your heart.

Spores, inhaling them can leave you with mild to severe continuing hallucinations

Pollen, it may make you sneeze.

Dark shadows in the undergrowth, that seem to whisper as you pass. In familiar voices...? Or that's just the wind.

Vicious monsters. They want to eat you.

And look out, if you go exploring, because halfway through your adventure the sky seems to open up and pour on you, try to find a safe shelter--if that exists in the jungle.

For those of you not inclined to explore well, you may see lights in the jungle, little wisps, of light in the growth, or maybe it's your team colors you see? The more you look the more you feel practically compelled to follow those lights and flashes of something familiar....

Maybe you get caught by the jungle's dangers, trapped in a cave by the downpour, or maybe you make it to an odd break around a still pond, the surface so smooth it's almost like a mirror. If you look in, your reflection looks back. And it smiles at you.

And if you make it this far, if you look deep into your reflection and let it stare back, you might find yourself leaning down, towards it--hopefully you have a companion to pull you back before pale arms reach to pull you in and drown you.

Even if you're pulled back from the glass pool, a strange dread lingers with you for a while. And the urge to be near others is incredibly strong. Be it their presence or their touch you crave, you need reassurance.

((OOC: Explore, use this an excuse for wet huddling together in a cave while hallucinating, get cool new scars from fighting beasts, encounter the glassy pool, or whatever! Grab a buddy, have a good(?) time.))]

More practical, at least. I'm sure some sort of balance can be struck between "not dry clean only and won't immediately show dirt" and "still reasonably cute."

Cute?

[ why would you want clothes to be cute and not battle-ready, ]

[ bold of you to assume she can't do both

or that she isn't battle-ready regardless of what she's wearing, ]

If I'm going through the trouble of buying clothes they should suit me, right? I don't think I'd be any more comfortable if they were only practical than I've been in these ones.

[ listen i spent a long time being too depressed to wear anything for any reason other than practicality ]

Oh, that's true, they should be something you like...

[ fair, but consider aggressively doing the opposite because depression sucks? a+ coping mechanism, would recommend if she actually remembered that was why she's Like This ]

Right, right. ...I'm definitely going to get a big sweater like this one, though.

[ instead of that i decided to live in the woods helping injured travelers ]

It's very comfortable. We have a couple of nice sweaters.

[ por que no los dos ]

Lucky... All of our clothes are kind of... mm. Fashion forward? Even the pajamas. They're not uncomfortable, but they're not made for being comfortable, if that makes any sense.
