Ha ha ha, consulting the map would be most useful to us, would it not?
[he doesn't have one bc kdj said "no, one's good" - but his memory is rather solid, and so he pulls up the recollection in his swordly mind palace.]
Hmm... Though I do not possess certainty, some of the paths moving more smoothly indicate a few fences... While it may be possible for us to pass over together, venturing along the stairs might ultimately be simpler.
[which is why he's going to just start wandering that way]
If you are worried of falling, why don't we tie rope to one another?
[ His memory is crap, he can remember the paths if he walks down them but he won't remember it off a map so he will simply believe your swordly mind palace. ]
We can think about it if we start scaling some serious cliffs.
[ In which case, Bobchansan might just have to live in his hood instead or something. As it is, it can cluck away where its tucked, as he also makes his way up the stairs. ]
[and so they begin walking toward the stairs. as they begin to climb, they find that the rocky slope beneath their feet gives way to a few loose pebbles, the path growing more narrow and steep as they climb. they will have to climb one by one, but as they reach the first landing they come across what looks like a small cluster of houses.
a few of them have lights on, but most of them appear vacant. the cliffside runs high, shielding these houses from the wind and fog brushing against it. to their right there is a large gate with a lock on it.
i suppose they could try to also loot these houses, or they can explore and check out the cliff itself, rock formations, look back at the sea, etc. the radio crackles and whines, signal for 102.3 temporarily lost.]
[ me awake at 4am because my cat is an asshole that screamed in my face to feed him.
anyways, Dokja does glance in direction of the houses once they reach the first landing and goes for a peek. I actually don't want ty to suffer in running insanely about so Dokja here will only glimpse from the windows inside for anything useful. or even something informative.
but if it doesn't seem worth exploring inside, he will go check out this large gate with a LOCK? in my 2022 murdergame cyoa? how dare. ]
A gate..?
[ also please ask kdj for the map at any time im in tears it's here for all three of them. I promise he isn't yjh he isn't about to hog the map to himself ]
but this is so funny. mikazuki tilts his head in confusion at the radio crackling and just. lifts it up? he's not trying to find signal exactly but - ]
What are you trying to tell us, technology?
[he'll go look back at the sea while kdj fiddles with the lock though. is there any sign of their long departed ferry - or if he looks down, anything in the cliffside below? body? "this isn't friday inves" BODY?]
I think technology is trying to tell us we're in spook time.
[ Radios dying out is never a good thing!! Aikawa will take a look into the nearest building or two, either through the window or if the door is unlocked, opening it after a short knock.
Heeellooooooo? I dare not disappoint Ty's expectations so he'll be looking for anything interesting, anything that can either be survivalist helpful or will hint anything to help them get their bearings. ]
[the lights are on, but nobody's home. kind of like how half of this group presents themselves at any given moment. but in all honesty the houses with lights look equally abandoned. the ferry is long, long gone and the only thing adrift in the sea is the disappointment of being stuck on a random island. the radio continues to crackle though while jiji's lifting it up, so maybe that's not a bad idea? someone help grandpa with his technology.
there is a large gate with a lock. they can either attempt to pick this lock, climb over the fence and leave it alone, or ignore the gate entirely and find another path. it's not really a gate that's solid though, so they can look past it and see a pathway leading further into the island, the tips of a few new structures and more paths splitting off ahead.
some of the houses are open. they could steal, like, kitchen supplies if they really wanted to, but nothing seems helpful.
in addition, there appears to be an opening in the cliffside. a small crevice, big enough to fit each of them one at a time that leads into the cliff itself.]
[ sorry jiji, Dokja is focused on this gate than the cackle fizzle pop of the radio. which he will take a few steps back as he looks at it a bit more and call out. ]
Either of you know how to pick a lock?
[ a shame he can't just break it with stats or fly over it with his abilities. curse you limitations. ]
If not, we can probably just climb over it. That or find a different way.
[ cliffside with hole...? HOLE MADE FOR ME?? anyways let's take a look at the map again. any good indicator which path is probably the best or even the fastest. ]
[hmmmm. mikazuki will gesture to aikawa instead for help since kdj isn't much taller than him. i don't know this for a fact bc i'm too lazy to pull up the chart but he just doesn't have the vibes.]
My friend, would you care to lift this higher or around, if you would? I think it is trying to speak to us.
[handing aikawa the radio and indicating for him to sort of just. move it around until they can hear something better.
but he will also glance toward kdj and smile]
I know not how to pick it, but can I not slice through it? [with him Sord.] Though there appears to be another path directly through the cliffside.... though it is unclear where it opens out to.
[the radio does crackle a little better, but they might need to do some fine tuning to make it crackle less and play more clearly. the thing about the lock is that yeah, jiji's sword could just hack it off. the hole looms ominously. perhaps it's a shortcut?
the map doesn't do much in the way of offering insight which way is fastest to the radio tower, though the one beyond the gate might be the most straightforward.
lights flicker and begin to go out in the houses around them the longer they wait. would they like to split up? or shall they stay together?]
[ Dokja with his own sword, but he contemplates the idea of splitting off as he puts the map away for now and rummages for his flashlight. ]
Splitting off would be perfectly fine if there was four of us. Since we would be able to do two and two. [ does bobchansan count as one ] So if we do that, it would mean one of us would be on their own.
[ He contemplates for only a moment. Like he already knew what to do if they go that route. ]
I can try the hole path, if the two of you want to go through the gate.
[ that or they stay together. choose wisely my friends.]
If we have but one map and no form of communication, would it be for the best if we separated? It is hard to discern just how dangerous this might be if others returned so badly mauled.
[that said now that aikawa has the radio, jiji will just go over to the gate and unsheathe his sword - slicing the lock off in one smooth motion before sheathing it again]
At the very least, both paths have been secured. What do you think, Aikawa and Bob-chan-san?
[ Tbf his last experience was very emotionally traumatising for him but also, he actually has very good reason for not wanting to be by either of the others. However he is a team player.
Hs points to Bobchansan as he asks this though and the chicken cluck squawks out of his Foote Bolle Hold, bouncing as a ball of feathers does towards the HoleTM. And getting in there before anyone can stop it.
Internally thinking 'why's it gotta be hole adventures every time...' ]
Ooookay. Hole it is.
[ That it is. Also I guess messing with the knob on Jiji's radio while moving, seeing if they can't find a different signal. ]
so bobchansan books it for the Hole, scuttling into the rocky face of the cliff possibly to never be seen again.
granted, the three of them are making a choice to chase after this bird for a reason, and one by one they begin to go into the rocky hole. as aikawa fiddles around with the radio, a new broadcast is heard inside the hole.]
"Yesterday, the remains of four bodies were discovered in two cars submerged west of -. How the cars got in the water, no one -"
[inside the hole, they walk further and let bobchansan run ahead, leading them into the opening of a cavern. it's dark, wet and echo-y, rocky paths splitting off in different directions both above and below them. a low thrumming noise echoes in their ears as a soft green light pulses elsewhere.
[ well, it's a good thing they looted some flashlights. which.. hopefully, has some battery in them, so Dokja will try and turn his own on to get a better view of the cavern.
fate is decided by a chicken... who could have done this. ]
We probably want to go up. [ rather than the.. paths below. maybe. this is not what he was expecting when they came in here, honestly.
where did poor bobchansan run into in here. where are the sounds of le clucking. ]
[ Internal dialogue: 'Is this where I'm at? Having my life choices dictated by a chicken?'
When he's in a better state, he'll find this way funnier. Right now though, he's half-spaced out, somewhat absentmindedly fiddling with the radio to try to keep the signal. Do tell us more about these drowned bodies, O Gamemaster Ty. ]
You guys can go get your chicken, I can go see what the light's about and come running back up the path.
[ Hopefully it emerges out into some nouveau riche weirdo's patio where he is gazing out wistfully under the judgmental eyes of T.J. Eckleburg. ]
bobchansan is clucking her way along a path heading upward, but she's not going so far that jiji can't keep up with her. the batteries in the flashlight are weak, but it's enough to shed a small amount of light so they can see where they're going. the cave begins to grow in size, wider and taller as they walk. aikawa is still fiddling with the radio, but instead of hearing more about these drowning bodies, the radio begins to make a noise.
the green light grows brighter, filling the entire cave and giving them a more clear image of their surroundings. the air around them seems to pulsate with every screech from the radio, red lights appearing above their heads. static-y electric blue flies overhead, beginning to form a shape. do any of them notice? great question.]
[ Dokja keeps his attention ahead, keeping the weak light on where they're going. don't need a misstep to happen and blindly stumble about in the dark.
but then that? green light? glows brighter? and honestly, it's a bit hard not to notice the red light above when it clashes with that green light. ]
What.. [ um. yeah. Dokja will notice those flies (???) and shine his flashlight on them. A SHAPE....?
someone is tempted to make a penis joke. it's not me. i refuse to scoop to that level but also ]
anyway mikazuki has this chicken now, and he will pat pat her head thoughtfully. he glances over at the radio and hums thoughtfully, wondering if that's ominous or something! maybe it is!]
It seems to be having quite a struggle...
[what does it smell like in here. like cave? ink? water?]
[ SAYS THIS HERE TOO FOR POSTERITY BUT IT'S A GREAT GATSBY REFERENCE... OK...
But anyway lovely, he'll listen to this white noise that the radio is making, still continuing to fiddle around just in case to see if he can't get a consistent signal as he I GUESS GOES DOWNWARDS I ASSUME ALONE since the other two got the chicken back. The lights don't bother him, which is great enough, but he'll also click on a flashlight and look at this and where it's maybe coming from. ]
[it smells like cave water and electricity, like the kind of smell you'd get right before a big lightning storm. as aikawa fiddles with the radio, the blue lines begin to connect together to form a large lotus flower, petals falling open and vibrating with the intensity of a livewire. even though he's separating from the other two, the light flashes in the cave and soon they hear even louder buzzing before there's a static crackle, pop, and bang as the flower explodes.
petals burst, falling gently and roping around the three of them regardless of their position in the cave. however, they don't have time to speak to each other before they feel a bolt of white-hot light run through them and they're ejected from the cave.
kim dokja finds himself wading in a shallow lake in front of a large mansion.
mikazuki finds himself on a sandy beach with bobchansan.
aikawa finds himself in the middle of the forest.
they are alone and cut off from one another, though they do each have a radio. all three of them also seem to have been mildly burned from the shock. oops.
maybe the other two should have grabbed a map after all?]
[ but oop, that mild burn. i mean, he's gone through worse, nothing like melting into crisp from a dragon's fire breath but ow nevertheless. ]
So much for not splitting up.... [ looking around and... well, gonna start with waddling out of this water with a squint at the mansion. it's a good thing he does have a map where the hell is this on the map, Dokja will look at it as he approaches the mansion.
how's this mansion looking... just as abandoned and creepy as the previous buildings? ]
[IS BOBCHANSAN OKAY? IS BOBCHANSAN OKAY??????? first thing jiji checks,]
He'd never forgive me...
[FRIED CHICKEN
anyway aside from that, what else is the beach like! any trails in the sand? anything on the ocean horizon? looking more inland, is it a bunch of trees or is it more like a little coast town. how inhabited is it.
mikazuki will fiddle with the radio again to see if it'll tell him any secrets]
