[PP - F6] Why'd It Have to Be Snakes?

[Lessa 1]

Du du du du, du du du.
- Indiana Jones Theme Song

Ruins were the best. Seriously, who could pass up a good crawl through some old, crumbling buildings? Not Lessa, that's for certain. In fact, as she stomped her way through the long jungle grasses, she couldn't help but sing the theme. Her dramatic "du du du"s mingled with the environment's natural soundtrack: birds chirping, insects buzzing, a monkey howling somewhere in the distance. Lessa bobbed her head with the song, spreading her arms to her sides as she walked. With her palms facing downward, she could graze them over the tops of the tall vegetation. The tickling sensation was one that she'd always enjoyed, and her already prevalent smile grew wider.

A sudden movement to her right stopped the woman in her tracks. She sucked in a slow breath, then held it, attempting to stand as still as possible. Her efforts were rewarded when a tiny deer and her tinier fawn emerged from a thicket. These creatures were a far cry from the Whitetails Lessa was used to, and she couldn't stop herself from reacting with a high-pitched, "Awww." The pair turned tail and fled, much to the swordswoman's dismay. Good going, she thought to herself, but the incident did nothing to dampen her spirits. She was on her way to explore ruins, for goodness sake. Who didn't love ruins?

Drawing closer to her destination, Lessa once again slowed to a stop. This time, her head was tilted back, and her nostrils flared as she caught a familiar scent. Rain. It appeared things weren't so different from her home state of Michigan - an approaching storm smelled the same no matter where you were. "Gotta get moving," she muttered, picking up the pace. She quite liked pina coladas, and didn't mind getting caught in the rain, but she didn't feel like adventuring sopping wet. Besides, where was a good place to ride out bad weather? Ruins.

In the middle of the thick layers of trees and tropical flora stood a teenage boy, stumbling blindly through the pouring rain, makung it extremely challenging to see anything ahead.  As the heavy raindrops hit his skin, he felt as if he was being stabbed by millions of little knives or swords. It hurted. Tanoshi himself had never been a fan of rain, rain was wet, it got people sick, rain also had an immense amount of germ along with bacteria going alongside them. Gross, he would say. Along the muddy path, every steps were difficult for him, it was also annoying and filthy. He bit his lips wondering about the distance between him and the nearest settlement, Tanoshi just wanted to get himself a place in the inn, lying comfortable on a bed and drink the water from a coconut. If he didn't move faster, the rain might get worse. In fact, it got worse... The wind was shrieking, a creepy sound he heard, it felt as if a woman, or someone was laughing in the rain, a mystical voice, inviting the boy to go deeper... 

Had someone died from a storm so far?

So far, the only way to die in this game had been having your HP dropped to 0. The storm didn't seem to reduce his HP though so he might as well just sleep right there and ignore this stupid storm. That was such a risky thought he had. As he moved, the rain was flowing into his mouth. He spit it out immediately, it felt as if he was tasting mud with some water in it. Why must the game be so real?! He hated it. Not only was the taste but also the scent of possible animals' droppings was discomforting him. He didn't know that mobs do in fact, answer the call of nature. He reached for the trees, treading alongside them. Soon, he noticed something, a temple not so far in the distance. If he was to guess, he would believe that it was some sort of dungeon, or maybe it would be a quest location. A grin of satisfaction formed on his face as he made his way for the building.

Katoka heaved a great sigh as she pushed her way though the dense jungle. Even though this was all a simulation she could still feel the humidity in the air and she was not a fan of the heat or the gross wet air she was breathing. "They could at least make it a comfortable temperature on all the floors," she groaned ducking under some low hanging branches.

After sitting in the Town of Beginnings for as long as she did, Katoka finally got fed up with being scared if death. Though jumping to the 6th floor might not have been the best starting area, she decided that her sheer power of will would be enough to keep her safe. Katoka never did anything half assed, so in her mind this would be fine.

Mustering what determination she had left, she continued to trudge through the brush and vines in search of the ruins that were supposed to be around here. She had overhead on this floor's starting town that there 'treasures galore' inside and she was in desperate need of the col.
