Packrat's Keep (sabraather)

[fourberie]

It’s dark, the lights dimmed through a century caked on the glass in dust and grime. The smell is the first thing anyone would notice. It is a pungent mixture of a garbage heap with mothballs and rot to accent it. If you didn't want a bath before, you'll probably want one now because you can just feel your skin begin to stick in the humid atmosphere.

Once you get past that unpleasant feeling, you'll notice right away at how much stuff there is. All sorts of treasure could be found in each direction you look in. Banquet tables creak beneath sumptuous banquets, the floor beneath littered with gnawed bones, crumbs, and rotting scraps. Broken toys are stuck with their dead batteries and screwdrivers. Random strings hang from empty spaces on the ceiling, long enough for anyone to reach.

Nothing seems organized whatsoever. It piles up to the ceiling which in turn makes tunnels inside of a single room. There's a tunnel to your left, a tunnel to your right, and a tunnel in front of you.

[ ... now how do I get out. Can I turn around and go back, or is there still mores a way forward. ]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[fourberie]

[nope, you're just gonna have to move backwards :')]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[chaoticrights]

[ ... HRRRRRF at least my back is mostly protected, though at some point a can is definitely going to fall out of the even more torn up bag and make my life more difficult as I try going backwards!! ]

[fourberie]

[what happened to that cute face :c]

[you might end up hitting a needle or two OOPS but hey, at least you're out]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[chaoticrights]

[ Out and bleeding and covered in terrible scratches!!! Gathering up the dropped can though into his... extremely filthy uniform at this point, and moving back to the central tunnel. Trying not to let the pain get to him, s...sigh!!! This isn't turning out to be as fun as first expected. ]

[it could be better...]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[chaoticrights]

[ INDEED. Either way, quickly picking out as best of a change of clothes as possible, and using some of the more rag like items as make-shift bandages, before putting on a heavy jacket. The bandages are a bit of a shoddy job though, about as good as you would expect from a tiny preteen boy. Oh well. ]

[ And then he tries to make a better, sturdier bag out of an oversized sweater and tie it around himself. This... goes a lot better than the bandages idea, at least? ]

[ Cal is resourceful!! ]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[IT OPENS, and you now see a giant stack of STUFF that almost seems to make stairs :o]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[chaoticrights]

[ Stairs :O ]

[ Well I will take back the key but I will be nice and not lock or close the door as I go up the stairs. ]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[fourberie]

[climb, climb, climb until you reach the top!]

[it might....take a while...]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[chaoticrights]

[ Cue a montage of Cal attempting to climb a mountain of things, occasionally taking breaks for breathers 'p' ]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL

[fourberie]

[And then you reach the top!! But now you've got to slide down the other side...]

Re: RIGHT TUNNEL
