TAKSHAKA

[soulping]

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

...Swan is going to gloat, isn't he.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

Most likely.

[Huffs.]

But it looks like we could swing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

It looks like some of the vines are moving...

[ moving closer to see... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

. . . ! If something is alive in there, we wouldn't have used the sword anyway!

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ !! RELIEF ]

Right! So, the sword wouldn't have helped much.

[SSSSO RELIEVED]

We'll have to be careful not to hurt them on our way through.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

I'll talk with them. I'm sure they'll let us past if they know we're not going to hurt them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[takewing]

[Nods.]

As am I.

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ ...dammit i can't speak snake, so i'll just. introduce us. ]

We're Takshaka, the snake team!

[ sounds so proud of that ]

Would you let us through? We don't mean to disturb your home.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[it moves and coils.]

[hiss.]

[it doesn't sound as angry, maybe?]

[hissss. but food.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ she holds a hand out, as far as she can reach. ]

What is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[...it will come to nip at her finger.

gently???]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ she doesn't seem to mind it at all??? and tries to lightly pet the snake's head. ]

Are you hungry?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[hiss. yes.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

...I'm gonna take that as a "yes".

[ looking around to see if there's anything that could be food for a snake... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[just leaves and vegetation. what would would this snake eat???]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

Hmm. Nod if you can eat plants and stuff like that. Shake your head if you can't.

[ miming the motions in case the snake does not know human body language. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[staring at blankly.]

[hiss. shaaaake. if he'd eat those he'd have just gotten them!]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

It looks like there's nothing but that stuff here.

Why don't you come with us? I'm sure we could find something tasty for you to eat on the way!

Re: DISCUSSION

[soulping]

[considers. hisss. can i eat you?]

Re: DISCUSSION

[barrette]

[ i would be gently declining if i knew what that particular hiss meant

don't eat me, snakebro ]

Is that a "yes, I'd like to come with Takshaka" or a "no, I'll stay here"?
