[soulping]

[ Upon stepping through the archway, you find yourself deep within a green forest, surrounded by trees, undergrowth, and the chittering skittering noises of small animals and insects. Behind you and around you, the trees and other vegetation close in on themselves; before you, a narrow but clear path beckons strongly. ]

...How far can you throw?

[grandstanding]

I don't know if it could be that far... we'd have to weight the end of the vine with something.

[acemedium]

What if we use the vines like a slingshot?

[#helping]

[grandstanding]

[proceeding to yank more vines down]

And who gets to be the one in the slingshot, hm? Are you volunteering?

[acemedium]

...Sure, why not? It'd be like flying!

[grandstanding]

[shakes his head]

I'm going to see if we can make some kind of raft. It's the quickest, and easiest thing I can think of.

[acemedium]

Won't we be carried away into the ocean?

[grandstanding]

No.

[pauses, thinking as he rolls up another vine]

We can tether it with a vine to this side, so if anything goes wrong it won't float off.

[acemedium]

Oh, good idea!

[grandstanding]

Or Flame thinks we could tie the vines to the posts in the water... it would save us having to build a raft, if we can get all the across using the posts alone.

[acemedium]

Do we have enough...?

[grandstanding]

[curses]

The posts don't go far enough to make it worthwhile. We'll do the raft, and a rope.

[LET'S DO IT]

[acemedium]

...Okay! Good thing I know all this stuff, for some reason.

[LET'S RAFT]

[grandstanding]

[raft building and rope tying montage]

Someone needs to go over first and tie the rope.

[and he's very clearly about to say he'll do it.]

[acemedium]

[crane shots here]

[glances over to where the others are...]

Oh... Coco and Schooler are probably scared...

[grandstanding]

[glances at them]

They can come across once it's secure. I'll carry them.

[acemedium]

Maybe I should go first then. So you can carry them.

[grandstanding]

If you're sure.

[passes her a long branch]

Use this to steer across, and I'll tie the vine to you.

[acemedium]

[waves it in the air experimentally]

[watch out or you might get thwacked]

Leave it to me! Rafting runs in my blood!

...Apparently.

[grandstanding]

Don't get carried away.

In all senses of the phrase.
