HAVE COPYPASTA ABOUT HEARTLESS ISLAND!!!!

Heartless Island (Southwest): The officiant here seems scared out of his mind. He has hidden the token near the waterfall, but you will have to fight a hoard of the island's native dark creatures who have become inexplicably aggressive.

♦ HEARTLESS ISLAND

[Distance from Isla Empieza]: 2-5 days (depending on weather conditions).

[Terrain]: Lots of sand when they first touch ground. About fifteen minutes in there are some scattered trees. Another five minutes in the trees (which are suddenly covered in strangely thick moss that eerily looks similar to these creatures) are getting too thick to continue further. If they can manage to maneuver further in, there's an incredibly beautiful waterfall in the dead center of the island (with a huge cave behind it)! There's something compelling about the waterfall, though there isn't a visible way to actually get behind it.

Maybe with a bit of searching, it'll be possible to figure out.

[Weather]: Nice and sunny 99% of the time, but susceptible to extreme downpours—the kind where they can barely see a foot in front of their faces. These can last anywhere from thirty minutes to several days. Once every few months, there's a massive hurricane that blows through that's super deadly to be caught in within ten miles of the island.

[Is the island inhabited?]: Just typical forest wildlife, thousands of strange, black creatures, and ghosts. Lots and lots of ghosts that aren't shy to make their presence known.

There are hints that there once was a very large civilization, though (rundown buildings, houses, etc)!

[If so, what is the culture like here?]: Kind of... lifeless?

[Island peculiarities]: (The creatures are not quite like the ones that anyone from the Kingdom Heart's fandom has seen.) When the crew first arrives, the creatures are not at all fast or aggressive. They will, however, attack if provoked (in other words, if they are approached quickly). Not to mention, they will more than likely come after anyone lingering too long in the area (usually more than thirty seconds in one spot). Don't bother trying to kill them all, since the ones slain can re-spawn.

(To put it simply: the character kills thirty-eight...that very same amount returns after a period of five minutes.)

IF THEY DECIDE TO STICK AROUND TO GET BEHIND THE WATERFALL:

Linger on the island for more than a day: The creatures become slightly stronger.
More than 3 days: The creatures suddenly increase in number by 50%.
Up to a week: What appears to be shadowy forms of the crew members will take the place of the creatures...and the crew will literally be chased off the island by the creatures, as well as the now angry spirits of the previous inhabitants.

If the whatever is behind the waterfall is worth it, though, go for it.


ALSO DON'T FORGET THE CRAZY WEATHER!!!!

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Hm? [Well, she doesn't find that question all that surprising since the merfolk of her home world rarely ate anything that was grown on land. It made sense if that was the case in other worlds as well.]

I have. Most of these are very common crops back in my home world. Some taste good raw but others you need to cook right before you can eat it. Like these. [And she manages to point to one of the potatoes she's carrying without dropping her pile.]

I've been trying surface world food ever since I first arrived. It's actually not that bad. There's a lot of variety, and all kinds of tastes. [She could practically eat it every day.] I don't know if I could ever cook it myself, though.

[Nami wouldn't even know where to begin with that.]
originaldragoon: (Looking over her shoulder)

[personal profile] originaldragoon 2014-07-31 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily there are people on board who can do the cooking for you.
feetarestrange: (Sure as the tides)

[personal profile] feetarestrange 2014-08-07 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think in my case it's better to leave surface world cooking to you guys.
