OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.

You continue to work for the Empire, but for your homeland of The United Empire-- but now, to a lesser extent, you also aim to help the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. Your merchant navy is ready to make a fortune -- and maybe even foil the plans of the Imperial Crown and bring the Trade Company to stand as a power in its own right.

Let the trumpets call out freedom -- let your marching shake the ground! Let the cannons be your voices and may redemption soon be found.

The road to revolution is long and bloody, but liberty is worth dying for. Fight and win, for the good of all Jambudvipa.

You are in Meerut, the principal village of the area -- and now, the headquarters of the brewing revolution. Of course, you'd never be able to tell just from looking -- the village life continues as normal, villagers living their lives and tending to their livestock and cultivating their plants.

Things have advanced quite a bit in the years since landfall -- the people of Meerut even now have electricity thanks to a group of heroes, symbolized by a statue of a garishly bright green boar in the village's plaza.

To the NORTH is the SHRINE OF THE EARTH.
To the SOUTHEAST is some jungle.
In the EAST of Meerut, there is a hut of a HEALER that you are acquainted with.

[... I remember this...

okay, can we speak to the villagers?]

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Jambudvipa? Is it an actual word?

What should we do first?

Re: START

[lucciola]

Here, it is.

We should try and find out if there is anything that needs done here before we start exploring.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

What do you suppose a "shrine of the earth" does?

Re: START

[lucciola]

I am not certain. I remember being here for another game, though it was not as far advanced as it seems like now.

It could be a deity shrine.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Let's go there. Maybe we can... ask the deity for help.

Re: START

[lucciola]

If there is one. But all right. Perhaps it would be a good idea to bring an offering, though. We should ask someone what would be proper?

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

An offering?

...

Re: START

[lucciola]

Nothing alive, of course. Rather, some food... fruits or similar.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Well, we certainly can't just take someone else's plants or food to offer it to a deity, can we?

But the jungle sounds dangerous and possibly unrelated to whatever it is we're supposed to do.

Re: START

[lucciola]

We could ask a villager about whether we need something for the shrine or not.

This is our headquarters. I am sure we have something.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

We could tear down the boar statue and offer it to the shrine...

Re: START

[lucciola]

That sounds violent...

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Heels and I were in a game like this recently. ...I really think we played too passively, and that's why we ended up losing.

If we're a revolution, we should introduce changes, right?

Re: START

[lucciola]

Aah. I believe... that is the purpose.

Whatever we do might affect others, however. So we should be careful there as well.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

When you say "others" you mean... other people here on other teams? Or do you just mean people inside the game?

Re: START

[lucciola]

Other teams. I do not trust this echo not to have it set up like that.

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Oh. [frowns]

... Well then I'm not sure. Either start with the boar, or possibly the jungle.

Maybe we can do something there.

Re: START

[lucciola]

We need to start somewhere. How about... we inspect the jungle first, then?

Re: START

[science_genius_girl]

Maybe we'll find something we can remove the boar statue with.

Re: START

[lucciola]

[nods]

Aah. So let us do that.

[I GUESS WE'RE HEADING SOUTHEAST to the jungle]

JUNGLE

[soulping]

The jungle is vast, and you could definitely get incredibly lost. It's sweltering and humid, and there's all sorts of strange plantlife and huge, creepy beetles and flying bugs.

You should probably get out as soon as possible.

To the EAST is more jungle.
To the NORTH is the NAGA VILLAGE.
To the WEST is LANDFALL.
To the NORTHEAST is MEERUT.
To the SOUTH is the Feywood.

boop

[science_genius_girl]

... 'Feywood'?
