Nothing like the smell of rotting ape corpse in the morning

Who: Newt and Everyone Who Either Commented or Is Listed in This Post
What: Searching that Monkey Compound
When: 10/7
Where: Everyone's on a D8
Warnings: Rotting monkey corpses? IDK, tag ur stuff, friendos


"Picking over the remnants of that bloody battle will prove quite advantageous, as long as you don't mind the smell. Not only did the monkeys fashion several abodes mounted in the branches of the trees in the compound, but they had quite a supply of various items on hand. For those who may have been concerned about islet over-crowding, it seems they need not worry; most of the homes remain undamaged, and aside from the strong smell of monkey, are completely habitable."

"Investigating the back of the compound will reveal a very small plot of farmland, where several rows of plants with dark green leaves can be seen growing. Anyone with a knack for identifying useful plants - or anyone who's simply willing to take one for the team and give them a taste - will soon discover that these leaves are the plants from which the monkeys drew their sedative. It makes quite a useful anesthetic in a pinch!"

"The sigil etched deeply onto the door itself will, as the Storyteller warned, be quite effective in keeping people out. The door repels any and all efforts to break through it; those sensitive to magic may note that it does indeed exude a very powerful and dense aura that makes its origins difficult to discern. One thing is clear, however: it will take a great deal more than teamwork between mortals to get through it." ( x )

[Welcome to the Mingle Log, Fam. Around you are the rotting corpses of many dead apes. There's also many items for you to lay claim to. Or you might feel like checking out those sweet sweet monkey nests. Or checking out that door. Whatever you feel like doing, leave a top level for people to pester you with. Or pester other people with top levels. The Mingle Log is your Oyster.]

They make great pictures, the lot of 'em.

[It's always better to assume someone's not being sincere, in McCree's experience. Sarcasm and irony don't translate evenly even between cultures that are from the same reality or even the same continent.]

Europe who?

[He can appreciate the showmanship, even if the Ahem is entirely unnecessary. It sets the scene. It makes the fact there's a skeleton telling knock knock jokes....

Well. Not less weird. But it makes it all feel just that little bit more like unreality that McCree buys it wholesale and isn't going to flip the fuck out over this.]

[ He's right. The universality (or lack thereof) of humor isn't limited to irony and sarcasm, either; Sans has watched puns and other forms of wordplay sail gracefully over people's heads and straight into the proverbial stratosphere. ]

No, you're a poo.

[ ...

Just don't ask where that rimshot sound came from, because it may have just been one's own imagination. ]

[He's.

He's not sure if that's better or worse than he was expecting. It's certainly not funny, but the fact that there's a skeleton telling shitty (pun intended) knock-knock jokes that are this bad...

It's ridiculous.]


Not exactly a classic one, but not bad. Maybe a six out of ten.

[It was enough to get him to laugh! Even if the laugh was more about this entire scenario being a thing than at the punchline. The rimshot is also going to be ignored, for now.]

You're too generous, pal. That was at least a three or lower.

...But you laughed, so I guess you're alright.

[ Anyone who can find something to laugh at -- even a really bad joke -- in circumstances like these can't be too bad, or bad off, for that matter. ]

Betcha even a guy like you has questions. No promises, but maybe I can point you in the right direction.

Naw, three and lower's for the jokes that just make you wanna punch someone and it's not really that bad.

[Not that he's saying he's the kind of guy who'd do that, but there's a definite sliding scale of terribleness Sans hasn't hit.

Yet.]


Well, can't say I know a whole lotta about this whole situation. Not just the whole monkey massacre, though I damn sure wasn't expectin' that, but...This Storyteller nonsense. Don't reckon you'd happen to have any more insight on this world-hopping, godly bunny thing, wouldja?

[Angela certainly didn't seem to know terribly much, which means it's time to ask strangers.]
