ASTHENOA

WHO: The imPorts trapped in a video game.
WHERE: The virtual world of Asthenoa.
WHEN: 10AM August 26th to 11PM August 31st.
WARNINGS: Violence and fighting. Alert me of anything else for updates.
SUMMARY: A comedy of errors: imPorts are trapped in a Vulcanus-made video game.
FORMAT: As you like it.



Asthenoa is a land set on lush rolling hills under a bright blue sky eternally streaked with clouds. The only celestial variance comes during the nightly setting, where an eternally yellow full moon partially hides behind those clouds. The people of Asthenoa may be human, or elven, or dwarven, or they may have animalistic features, but none of that is of great social concern. Asthenoa has always been this way. The heart of the land is a medieval town set upon one of the highest hills, and the middle of that town sits a majestic stone castle. The busiest part of the town is the center, which hosts the marketplace. There you can buy necessities, or meet the blacksmith and other artisans at their working studios. Beyond the artisanal studios are the taverns and the inns.

Beyond the cheerier inns is a place called The Shriveled Shrike. If you head to the second floor and knock on the third room door thrice and rub your knee against the handle once, it will magically open and expose to you a staircase. People of the Rogue class know this inherently.

The staircase is five flights long. It leads to a black market in a mile long, mile wide underground bunker, where gambling and other darker magicks are indulged. You might meet a necromancer or three. You might run into trouble.

If you were to step out beyond the town, you would have to cross a moat via the drawbridge. It’s always closed up at nighttime, you can only pass during the day.

Beyond the moat (where serpents might swim) is a hilly pasture. Beyond the pasture is an enchanted forest. Strange things happen in these gnarled woods – this is where mystical creatures lurk. Acres of dark wood house sparkling lights and floating orbs and very unusual flora. The fauna includes many mythical beings, including centaurs and fairies and griffins. There could be even more hidden within secret caves or pools of darkening water.

You feel the need to venture past this alluring wood. You feel it deeply.

[Breaking through the brush came a young-looking woman dressed in white and gold armor with a sword at her side, batting at the circle of pixies tittering on her head. They laugh and joke with her, nearly unintelligible, and occasionally blow pixie dust in her face that makes her eyes water and for her to sneeze, which only makes them collapse into even more laughter.

Saber has no idea how she attracted their attention, just that she wants them gone. However she only has so much she can do and she swats at them again before running (literally) into Roy just as they make her start coughing on the pixie dust yet again.]


Ah, I apologize!

[Roy is big enough that he's easily able to avoid any injuries from the collision. But it's fair to say he's caught off guard. Heightened senses don't mean much to someone as easily distracted as he can be.]

Easy, easy. It's okay.

[Hands on her shoulders, he means to steady her.]

Nice armor you got there.

[The pixies seem content to fly at him now, too.]

And fairies... Shit, where'd they come from?

I do not know, I simply walked past a tree and they decided to bother me.

[Some of the pixies flutter about him before settling on his head and tugging at his hair childishly. She manages to get upright again and tries to swat them out of her hair yet again. Sadly, they're way too quick for her.]

[He swats at them, flicking his fingers and trying to pull them out of his hair. THis does not have the intended result. Instead, he looks like a fool.]

Hey! I didn't do anything to you!

[He's not better at getting them out of his hair than Saber is.]

[Nope, neither of them is going to have any luck until the pixies get bored. And seeing as they're having fun making the both of them look like idiots? That won't be for a while.

One tosses pixie dust into Roy's face.]
