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.))]

take 2
but the glimpse of pink wasn't so far into the jungle that he couldn't at least try to see what they were doing. maybe try to intervene if it seemed particularly ill-informed. if they went any farther he didn't necessarily have to put his skin on the line.... is what he told himself, but
then he became lost. which really shouldn't have been possible as he was certain he hadn't wandered too far, but now...
now he is far too deep into the jungle to get his bearings, and the foliage above is so thick that he cannot even see the sky and,
he just. ends up. sitting down. not on the ground at least, on some overturned overgrown tree trunk. next to a pond. and waits.
he hasn't given up, really. (he might have given up a little bit) ]
OPTIONAL?:
[ at some point he may actually just get tired of waiting around looking for anyone to find him... or rather, he starts to get curious. maybe it's the distinct feeling that someone... or something is watching him, but he starts to wander towards the pond. at first glance the water at least looks safer than the black mess that passes itself as an ocean in this world... and he kneels down to get a closer look.
he's just about to reach out, to test the still water with the tip of a finger, when he stops-- his reflection... is smiling at him?
not just smiling. but at him. ]
... you're not-
[ and then he gets grabbed and pulled down into the lake. fucking bye naan. ]
no subject
The first thing he sees is just [idiot falling into the water] and doesn't even recognise him until a few moments later when he's considered the body shape and those scales...
...
...he's waiting for him to resurface... ]
...hey, you're not actually drowning are you?
[ There's .0001% actual concern in there. ]
no subject
like. there's flailing? and then nothing.
he's from the fucking desert Ciabatta he can't swim for shit ]
optional
Re: optional
he definitely cannot swim, though. though... if Jusis can tell at all from underwater, Naan is certainly struggling. except the more he struggles the faster he sinks, like something is... pulling him under. though whether Jusis actually sees anything is debatable.
in any case the second Jusis comes anywhere near enough that Naan can find a hold, he holds. tightly. ]
Re: optional
Re: optional
if and when they actually get back to shore he starts coughing immediately, gasping to replace the air in his lungs ]
Re: optional
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU IDIOT!?
Re: optional
]
I. ..... I, I wasn't. [ is all he can stammer out ]
Re: optional
[Staggering up to his feet, clearly annoyed and not you know, scared that we both almost drowned.]
Re: optional
as Jusis gets to his feet a sudden, aching fear spikes through him and he snaps out a hand to grab him by the ankle before he can even think to stop himself ]
Wait--
