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.

[ kanaya just stares at her arm, propped on her elbow. she hasn't even thought about moving, and somehow that makes her feel a little guilty.

she should continue the job, get this whole thing done, find her way out. but she's so tired. she's tired and nothing is working the way it's supposed to. it takes far less effort to watch the blood drip from her gauntlet and wonder if she should be worried.

It really should've stopped by now. It never takes this long.

What does?

[ She manages to drag herself upright, eyes turning on Kanaya, alert again. ]

[ kanaya turns over hands, seeing her gloves shredded and covered in jade. it's hard to really the like this. ]

The bleeding. Well, the wound in its entirety, really. In normal circumstances, it should have healed by now.

So, everyone's powers were nullified in this weird Dungeons and Dragons world.

[ Whether or not that's an accurate comparison? She doesn't really know; she doesn't play games like that.

She focuses on Kanaya's wound, trying to get herself back on her two feet and over to the girl. ]


Are you okay, though? I'll tear some of the fabric off this dress to use as makeshift bandages.

Yeah, I don't...normally fight quite that way. [ she's usually faster, at the very least. ]

You don't have to do that, I have some bandages in my pack. I haven't really tried any of the balms, however.
