"I am expecting these people to be starving cannibals. Lets be careful."

[Xantalos]

People dislike me for some reason. I'll leave the talking to others.

Give lighter back to PAC-man, stay quiet.

[Beirus]

"I don't like this. Why the fuck are they so fucking cheery? Nobody's that happy around here."

Accept lighter. Keep shank concealed, watch the people.

[Comrade P.]

Now, you three I mentioned, if you had to be anywhere in a sleepy little town full of odd customs, odder flora, and even odder people, where would you go? We'll assume that you're not natives, just visitors having ended up there in some way. Maybe Recently incarnated. Maybe just hitch hiked. Your choice.

((Walking down the Main street, signalling for a ride with a cardboard sign that reads:

I NEED A RIDE
(to wherever)
I CAN MAKE GAS
(out of any liquid)
I CAN DRIVE
(if you want me to)

Either that, or hanging around the local used car market looking for something that will ride the longest distance before falling apart. I'm not sure if there is a used car market, hence two variants of starting location.))

[Radio Controlled]

((There's three prospective new characters, and only 2 spots, right? So, these three will be fighting for their chance? Or, maybe they can just shank 1 dude in the car and all get a chance at glory by the magic of golly cooperation.))

[Comrade P.]

((Let us just wait until our fellow Kevak here tries to receive whatever is local analogue of "medical attention". This should be fun. And bloody. Possibly lethal for one/both/all parties involved.))

[IronyOwl]

You guys alright with how we're handling the maps by the way? I figured it might be neat to sort of piece together a road map using smaller maps found along the way, and to scribble things on them as we go.

Sort of a way to keep track of where we've been and whats happened.

I like it. Thematic and yeah, helps keep track of what's going on.


"Clearly these citizens are overjoyed to have new guests! And/or desire our succulent meats. Let us inquire as to which."

Pull over and engage a citizen in conversation.

Pull over and engage a citizen in conversation.

You pull over at a house near Cinder Rd, where an older looking citizen is standing out in her yard. You notice, as you wave her over, that the citizens of this town are all fairly uniform in their appearance, which is nearly unheard of in the Infinite Heavens. Even the humans vary greatly in appearance, but these beings look largely identical.  They're humanoid, but all only about 5 or so feet tall, pale skinned, and black eyed, with strangely large mouths and long fingered hands that jitter about nervously.

The woman, for lack of a better term, walks over to the driver side door, holding her hands in front of her and looking around. She seems oddly starstruck and anxious. You start to speak but then close your mouth and feel a bit foolish because you realize you don't know what you want to talk about.

[IronyOwl]

"Greetings! Are you a resident of this town? Curious that you all look so similar! Are you nervous about something?"

[heydude6]

Name: Hans
Soul: In a different and arguably equally bizarre land Hans was the equivalent of a Nazi doctor. Performing horrible unethical experiments on unwilling test subjects. He was also a normal doctor with a medical license as well. He ended up dying after being impaled by a crystalline beast like the one you see now.
Incarnation: Hans is now an ever-changing crystal beast similar to the one that killed him. His usual form is a giant crystal with 4 unsymmetrical limbs stretching out from the main body in an X formation, although he can change it at will. His shape-shifting goes to the extent of growing new limbs, removing old limbs, changing the form of his central crystal, and transforming into an amorphous blob. No matter what form he chooses (except blob form) he is always covered in crystal spikes (the largest being 5 inches) that seem to have a mind of their own. He also has black liquid inside of him that seems to function as blood.
What You're good at: surgery, shapeshifting, swimming
What you're bad at: making harmless physical contact with someone, wearing clothes
Your Hopes: To one day create a cyborg or robot
Your Fears: Light, it burns!
What you need to survive: 4 hours of darkness and being submerged in a pool of water for a while (also exposed to darkness)
What's in your pockets: What pockets?

"Oh it's just" She looks about some more, "We so rarely get real people around here. It's a rare  and happy sight!" She seems to suddenly realize something "Oh! You should go talk to the Major! He'd explain it all to you, I'm sure."

[Comrade P.]

"We so rarely get real people around here. It's a rare  and happy sight!"

((Is it just me, or does that imply that they are not real people?))

[IronyOwl]

"We so rarely get real people around here. It's a rare  and happy sight!"

((Is it just me, or does that imply that they are not real people?))

((I was reading it as OTHER real people, but yes, that's a good point.

Also I'd wager an eyeball-crusted bagel that these are podlings from the giant tree.))


"Thank you, perhaps I will. Where might we find this good Major?

Speaking of which, madam, what can you tell me about those trees?"

Back up, hop out of the car, and examine one of those trees. It wouldn't happen to have little seedling bugs milling around under it or anything, would it?

[piecewise]

"Follow this road till you get to Red Tree, and then turn right. It will be there on your right, plain as day."

"These trees were brought here by our Forefathers, who were Livingborn. They ate of them, or so they say. But I don't know the history well myself."

You nod and then back the car up a block or so and get away from the houses and buildings, out onto the outskirts of town. You park on the side of the road and hop out to examine one of the trees. They're odd things, very much similar to the trees you were used to in life, but more fibrous and oddly proportioned. They don't appear to have any bark either, just smooth, lumpy trunks and wide leaves. There are what look like fairly large fruits hanging from the branches, but no obviously out of place human seedpods or larval people.
