Characters: Any characters searching for the Healer.
Date: October 23rd.
Summary: Finding the Healer before something potentially disastrous happens to the Gardens.
Warnings: Possible creepy?

It's been some time since the Healer took her sojourn from the Gardens, departing somewhere into the depths of the dark world known only as the Hollow. In her absence, the Gardens have become... tainted, shadowed. Perhaps worse, the Hollow's inhabitants have decided to transform the once-tranquil world into a place much like their home.

Those who have paid attention to the Crone's words, however, may know that in order for the chaos to stop, they need to find the Healer. Perhaps, as the old woman suggests, the Incarna is high in the mountains — but the way is not safe, beset by dark woods and choking fog and, of course, the world's semi-hostile inhabitants. Unless one can find a way to blend in.

Brave or cowardly as one may be, the only way to find a solution to this particular problem is to venture forth into the unknown.


[ MOD NOTE: Feel free to devise your own scenarios for any encounters or incidents during your characters' journey into the mountains of the Hollow to find the Healer and convince her to return to the Gardens. Alternately, the mods can guide you along the way if desired. ]

"I want both, of course, and I'll get that. The healer is in a monster infested realm, OF COURSE there'll be monsters to fight to find her. You're lucky you ran into me, unlike everyone else in this place, I like fighting!"

Tenshi sadly didn't spot why Xion was concerned, she really was following the Gensokyo way. Even if it made her sound dangerous to others!

"Well, I haven't been bothered because I look like this..." She tugs on her skirt a little. "But I won't stop you from fighting. Just be careful."

"Thanks, I'll be careful to get all that'd attack you despite your looks!"

Wrong kind of careful, but Xion might appreciate the thought?

She opens her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. Congrats, Tenshi, she's now speechless.

"Uhh. Okay, let's...let's go."

oh my gosh sorry!

"Let's go!"

The worst part was that Tenshi probably was not even helping Xion by her presence - quite the contrary, she might even attract creatures.

lmfao never apologize for her

Xion clearly did not think this through, but it becomes evident when a harpy flies by, squawking in a confused way at seeing what must be one of her "sisters" travelling alongside one of the outsiders. Xion, not having come across any opposition so far, tenses, but of course the creature attempts to divebomb Tenshi first.

"Look out!"

Tenshi had not spotted the harpy at first, she had been bored, had been focusing on following Xion.

The warning came in time, and Tenshi reacted rather quickly - by summoning a large, floating rock as a shield right in the dive-bombing harpy's way. Youch!

Youch indeed. The creature smacks right into it and falls to the ground, dazed. Xion stares at it, clutching her weapon tightly.

"Wow...that was fast."

She just hopes Tenshi's idea of "fighting" doesn't involve finishing off the enemy mercilessly like Lambda's.

No, this does not mean there needs to be a battle OOCLy, I suck at writing em lol XD

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-03 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thankfully, Tenshi was from Gensokyo, where non-lethal battle was prefered by far. In fact...

"Hey! Why are you down already! Get up! Hey! Oh COME ON! Why does this happen every time!? Why can't I just have a proper battle for a change!"

lolol

[Xion sighs a little to herself in relief.]

Well, rocks are pretty hard...I think I'd want to lie down if that happened to me. Then again, you're used to fighting people who are really strong, right?

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-03 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right! I pretty much fought all the strong people back at home. They could take a rock or two to the face!

[personal profile] mnementomori 2011-11-09 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...maybe if we keep going, there'll be someone stronger?

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd hope so.

[Well, it was unlikely, to be fair, but Tenshi could always hope. Too bad she was unlucky about actually getting her fights...she had had less than three during her whole stay in the garden!]

Really, there'll probably be a strong one right next to the priestess person.

Maybe she's in trouble? So we could rescue her. [she's still not entirely sure what's going on, but if it'll encourage Tenshi...]

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-15 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That's be great! [No, it wouldn't, but...]

And I really think that's what's happening, it usually is something like that. It's like when there's suddenly winter in spring, someone always is making winter for some stupid reason.

[personal profile] mnementomori 2011-11-16 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
Winter in spring? Why would someone ever want that?

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, she wanted to make some tree bloom, so she stole spring from the area, making it winter, and went to use the spring for the tree.

Something like that.

[personal profile] mnementomori 2011-11-22 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... [that actually makes a strange amount of sense to her.]

Wouldn't it be easier to move the tree? Then again, I guess trees are pretty big...

[identity profile] peachhat.livejournal.com 2011-11-22 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It'd be easier, but I think it was a really huge tree, and it was sealed there for some reason. On top of that, it really was in the netherworld, so that made it even harder without stealing spring!

[personal profile] mnementomori 2011-11-27 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[she's not sure where the netherworld is, but it must be far from wherever spring is if it's that difficult.]

So what happened in the end? Did everything get fixed?
