NEW ISLAND: UMUI

Who: Everyone!
What: Umui appears, and a new adventure begins
When: July 10th and onward
Where: Umui
Warnings: Tag as you go!

'Cause the Dirt is Up to My Eyes
As of July 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Umui.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the C1 square. The thick crops of flowers spring freely across the lush, grassy landscape, clustered in dense knots. The variety behind these growths seems profoundly limited: it is as though each flower has only sprouted around others of its kind, mingling solely at the edges. A large building looms in the corner of the region, a twisting, unfurling mass of piping and a half-crumbled metallic shine.

Whatever lays inside, or beyond the island's limits, is for you to discover for yourself.

I... don't know. [ She looks from the machines back to CT, brow still furrowed in thought and mounting concern. ] I would think that - well, it's as you say. But...

[ It makes more sense that it would be overgrowth. More than that, it doesn't make sense that human and machine could suffer from the same malady. ... And yet, is it possible, in this realm of seemingly-endless impossible things? ]

We should continue on. There may be more that we can learn ahead.

[counterblows]

[He's not an engineer here, and there are probably people more suited ot the task of taking these things apart. Wash straightens, regarding the tangle of machinery parts skeptically.]

We can come back for them, I guess. They might be good for parts, or...something.

[tuskenlancer]

[ But. Zelda doesn't even have to finish the thought. Of course it seems impossible, but isn't all of this impossible? Why should this be the exception?

She straightens when Wash does, nodding in agreement and glancing around to get her bearings, to make sure she can find the place again. ]

Or information.

[ There has to be something. She brushes herself off with a frown, glancing briefly up at the sky. At this rate, they're going to have to find a place to camp out here. Great. ]

Come on, let's check out a couple of these buildings.

[wisdomspring]

[ Zelda simply nods, following CT and Wash as they begin to move forward. Ideally, yes, they'll be able to take the machines apart in order to understand them a bit better. For now, there's more to see... and, hopefully, to learn. ]

You must have much more advanced technology in your world than what's found here. [ Or in Hyrule. She eyes their armor and weapons, trying to liken it to anything she's really seen in her studies, but coming up short. ] Is this all very primitive to you?

[counterblows]

Not...primitive, I'd say. Just outdated, maybe.

[None of these things are on the same level as, say, Texas's gynoid body, or even Lopez's haphazard, oft-destroyed construct cobbled together by a bunch of morons in a box canyon.]

It's hard to say when everything here already looks like it's been laying around for years.

[tuskenlancer]

I've seen primitive. This isn't it.

[ But Wash is right. With how rusted out everything is, with the flowers growing all over everything, it's hard to tell much about it at all. She sighs, then nods towards the building ahead of them, glancing up at the sky, the sun lowering towards the horizon. ]

We might wanna think about finding a place for the night.
