July Arrivals

WHO: Arrivals
WHERE: The fountain park
WHEN: July 1, 12:00 PM
OPEN TO: ALL
WARNINGS: N/A
STATUS: CLOSED


In the snug circle of an old park, a fountain sits burbling beneath a broad, midday sky.

Once-neat paving stones have buckled and cracked from the slow nudge of wayward roots. Benches stand covered in lichen and rust. Three paths push into the underbrush like the spokes on a wheel, the encroaching forest creating lush tunnels through the dark.

But the fountain stands singular and pristine, brightly splashing in open rebellion of the deep, muffled sounds of a place long ago gone to seed. A vibration hums through the ground, there and quickly gone, and the water in the fountain trembles, lapping against the high walls of its cool, pale reservoir.

It is the first of July.

It is precisely twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'll take the other one," Jo nodded toward the next of the three paths from the foundation area, after a few seconds of watching his odd choice with the coat. Oh, well, right? She took part of hers off, and he put more of his on. Different strokes, completely different folks.

She turned one direction, but looked back, and even though she said the words, they were more a strong armed order than anything like a suggestion or a concern. "Watch your back. In case."

Of anything. Of everything. Creatures. Monsters. Sudden traps and holes.

She had no idea how green he might be. Angry, yeah. Experienced, no clue. None at all.

Don't try to die, and end up screaming, and make her come running back to save you from the greenery.
