Decisions, decisions.

As Jaeger, Nein and Schwerleite ventured deeper into - or outwards - the forest, calm breeze brushed by their hair and faces; it was a serene, sunny weather.

Minutes after walking, they would notice a rustle behind some foliage. An overgrown bush that, from afar, looked like the canopy of a tree that sprouted from the earth on its own. It shuddered again. Then, a growl emitted from behind it.

They could choose to ignore it and hope for the beast - or whatever it was - to leave the company of three alone. Best pray it didn't want a chunk of their asses from behind. Beasts don't discriminate on genders when it comes to succulent butts.

Or they could pry and investigate the suspicious bush.

As if that wasn't stressing enough, there was a bell chime that sounded like a housecat with a bell collar skipped by. Automatically, the inventory opened itself, even though each player's content was visible only to himself (or herself).

At least the ??? bush monster heard nothing. Or it probably didn't care - you're going to have to figure that out as you roll.

Christmas arrived early.

@Xxx received a Vial of Health (heal 20HP instantly).

@Xxx received a Vial of Mana (heal 5MP instantly). Also received: Candy (small combat HP regen).

@Xxx received a Vial of Experience (gain a trickle of EXP instantly).

The uncomfortable approach.

The nude woman turned her head to the holler of the lecherous duo just as the peaceful sound of lapping water was spliced with an obnoxious bell chime.

Commercial jingle.

@King Tai received a Fresh Bun (heal 10%HP instantly).

@Jin received a Fresh Bun (heal 10%HP instantly). Also received: Weird Egg ("You're not sure if it's born that way or rotten, but it looks inedible, being oval, green and hard; maybe you have to cook it?").

Right after the two closed their force-opened Inventory, the lady effortlessly glided across the water as if she were on land and charged at them!

For a split second, the word "Nekh" flashed above her head. But she got too close for either to study now that she had her hand on Smackahoe's shin, tugging at him with surprising force - like the pull of a sea tide.

Water bodies, man ...

As MisterListerTheSisterFister merrily made his way along the streamside, picking up yet another lump of nature bullet, he would see a body of a man in tattered, dark robes and black dreadlocks, dark skin, and a very traumatised expression floating towards him. Well, I did mention the direction of the river was counter-norm.

His eyes, bulged, looked into Lister's accusingly as his body snagged to the edge of the river, a cattail bush in the way.

Above the dead man's forehead was a glowing tag that read: FusionC. Looks like someone didn't make it very far.
