The Beach: And the Sun is Coming Through
When you arrive on the archipelago of LifeAftr, it is on the shores of Ensō - turquoise waves dragging through the pale sand of the beach. The breeze carries the tang of salt on the tropical sea spray. The sky overhead is a blue to rival the aquamarine surf. All told, the atmosphere is almost...pleasant. Not far from the cream-colored beach, the jungle beckons.
Above the treetops, however, something seems to be drifting overhead.
Bright spots of color drift on the wind like motes of dust. On further inspection, one might be able to discern what, exactly, is the cause of this lazily wafting, brilliantly colored confetti.
There's no mistaking it: it is very beautiful. Unless you have allergies.
Inland: The Trees Are Filled With Memories
This influx of flowers on the breeze, aside from being a potential source of unpleasant reminders to those who died choking on said flowers last month, have had additional consequences. The creatures rescued from Ziziphus flourish in such pollen-rich environments, which has led to a fresh budding of their young. Baby mosslings crawl like lumps of lichen over the trunks of trees, and the loud peeping of arboreali chicks can be heard in the branches above. Most of these creatures are not tameable, but some, such as flowccus, can be kept as livestock.
Just take care, when venturing into Ensō's verdant jungle. If Ziziphus's prey animals have begun to spring forth, then its predators have begun to reproduce as well. Young spindlanks and rootwyrms are not nearly as vicious as their adult counterparts, but you may have a bit of trouble getting rid of them without killing them - you did, after all, bring them here to preserve them.
Most notable, however, are the fresh litters of tigerlilies that have begun swarming all over Ensō.
Tigerlilies can be tamed and kept as pets, though despite their fearsome appearance, they not terribly vicious. They subsist in much the same way any other plant would; off of water and sunlight, primarily, though they might also graze like an herbivore from time to time.
If you're interested in keeping one for your own, bear LifeAftr's companion limit in mind - two per character, and no more. The process of trying to tame a tigerlily is not always successful, either. We recommend use of a d10, with the following guidelines:
Rolling a 10: Critical success! This tigerlily will follow you to the ends of the earth.Bear in mind that these are only guidelines; you are free to predetermine successes or failures as you'd like, presuming your character can sustain the companion! Our discord channel has a room for dice-rolls, if that's your speed.
Rolling 6-9: Taming and training this tigerlily will be like educating a stubborn housecat, but will be nonetheless successful.
Rolling 2-5: Failure. You get sprayed with soporific pollen, which will affect you for several hours.
Rolling a 1: Critical failure. Not only do you get sprayed with soporific pollen, but the tigerlily in question decides that you're their new cat toy. Tigerlilies are not carnivorous, but their teeth and fangs are still very sharp, and not highly pleasant to contend with.
All new arrivals will awake with knapsacks, their names stitched to the front. The contents of said knapsacks can all be found in your acceptance notices!
As a final note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme, bear in mind that those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!

If I end up having to carry you, I'm probably going to end up dropping you. [On the floor of the house he shares with two fellow agents and a seventeen-year-old girl, of all things.]
no subject
no subject
[It isn't, really, but if he has the opportunity to deflect while Newt's half out of it, he's going to take full advantage of the window while he can.]
Do you want me to carry you? Because then I'm definitely dropping you.
no subject
----hell no, dude. I c'n....I can do it. [He's going to make an attempt to stand up straighter, but unfortunately that whole theoretical-three-days-no-sleep-but-at-least-non-theoretical-36-hours-with-no-sleep-plus-sleep-pollen wooziness is starting to get to him, and as he pushes away from Wash's arm to make a solid bid at walking himself despite the green that swims before him...
...he takes two steps and trips. Over nothing. Either way, down he goes again, right into the underbrush, complete with an awkward stumble. Ah. He's on the ground again, and he makes a pained sound as his ribs throb in agony. This time, though, they're not as good of a counter to the drowziness, and even with the awkward way he's collapsed on the ground, he's already starting to fall asleep.]
no subject
[He follows him down without meaning to, out of instinct, because this is a completely unarmed and injured civilian, and Wash isn't a complete asshole, no matter how good he is at it.]
[This isn't working, and he's losing his patience.]
Carrying you it is.
no subject
[....okay so communication isn't happening well right now. What if he pushes himself up--his fingers twitch, slightly, but his limbs feel so heavy and honestly his glasses probably fell off or are at least skewed in the tumble and he should probably grab them at least and that's kind of the last thought he has before he finishes passing out.]
no subject
[He pokes him, once, but he seems pretty out. With a sigh, Wash hooks one arm underneath him and, yep, it's time to just out and out carry him. At least he kept his glasses on.]
[This is gonna be a fun thing to explain to the roomies.]
