who stole your heart and the key?

[steelmyself]

In the dark, you taste something sweet and tart on your tongue, almost like apple but not quite: pomegranate juice, out of nowhere. A hint of something metallic accompanies it.

You fall down.

Flowers?

[ Saber's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. But just as quickly as he is startled, he shrugs and gets over it and walks over to the woman with the campfire. ]

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

Upon closer examination, each of the flowers is clearly unique. They're faintly warm, too.

It's hard to walk through the grass without stepping on the flowers, and for some reason stepping on them is vaguely upsetting now that you've looked more closely.

The woman is young and friendly-looking, with short hair and cheerful eyes. She's attempting to cook in a pot over the campfire, humming to herself as she does so. Oddly, she seems to be using a pair of swords to stir the ingredients.

[ Saber glances at the swords. ]

I'm not much of a cook, but I don't think that swords are the best way to prepare food.

"Huh?" She squints a bit. "Well, if you're stuck in a carpenter's house, you use a hammer! Get it?"

Re: THE FIELD

[autorejoin]

Heh. Yeah, I get it. I'm not sure I would have thought of that, but I'm not really a survivalist. You know?

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"That's all right. I can teach you sometime, if you ever come back here."

Re: THE FIELD

[autorejoin]

I might take you up on that.

[ He glances around. ]

So! Where are we, anyway?

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"We're in Limbo!" She stirs the pot some more, still cheerful. "I'm pretty good at that party game! Challenge me sometime--just try it."

Re: THE FIELD

[autorejoin]

[ Saber grins at her. ]

Why not right now?

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"There's no limbo stick and no music. Otherwise I'd be up for it!"

Re: THE FIELD

[autorejoin]

You're right. It's too bad, it would be entertaining.

Re: THE FIELD

[steelmyself]

"Are you going to keep going?" She seems to take for granted the answer will be yes, as she holds out one of her swords to you and says, "You should take this to light your way. It gets dark up ahead."

Indeed, the sword's blade is glowing slightly.

Re: THE FIELD

[autorejoin]

Oh, I like swords.

[ He takes the sword from her. ]

Well, I might as well keep going! Good luck with the swords there.

[ And then he continues walking. ]

You make your way further down the slope. Soon, the rocky walls close in around you...
