❧ the inner garden

You stumble into yet another garden, spinning and off-kilter and peculiar. This space is dominated by a massive waterfall pouring from the sky, casting a heavy wet mist into the air. The foliage is wild and overgrown, untamed and untrimmed. The flowers and leaves seem incredibly real, but everything else is offputtingly two-dimensional—rocks and boulders are papier-mâché, the stones beneath your feet are nothing but cardboard puzzle pieces, and flimsy trees hang from the ceiling by string.

Mobiles of birds and bugs swing around, hung from tree branches, spinning in the breeze, casting wild shadows. Crooked stacks of books—some short, some as tall as trees themselves—line the path, and a persistent, faint drumming sound echoes through the quiet space.

Under the waterfall, there is a single doorway.

[use this space to talk to each other and catch up, before proceeding to endgame]

Nice to see you too, you got all your pieces attached?
allinyourhead: playing with toy spaceships (i think we should call it 'your grave'!)

More than. I think I've got organic bits in my seams.

Did you get bitten by a fleshling? Are you slowly turning into a were-fleshling? Tumbler!
allinyourhead: thinking (are you pondering what i'm pondering?)

Now that you mention it, my armor has been feeling soft recently…

[pulls a bit of underbrush from his wrist.]

Personally, I'd be more concerned with exploding.

Sure, think about the short-term worries. I'm concerned about a naked teammate running around like Bambi because he doesn't know how to use his legs.

[looks down at his own legs.

looks back at Chronosome.]
allinyourhead: head resting against hand (listening)

[personal profile] allinyourhead 2015-04-27 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, okay, I don't know how to use legs. We'll go with that.

What if you turned into a deer? What if you turned into a rabbit.

[ a beat ]

What if . . . you're turning into a bush!!

If I was turning into a bush I wouldn't have to worry about walking.

Yeah, I would. So don't do that.
