"You should do some mining to find metal ore. You can craft very useful things with it," Marty advises.

Permalink

Huh. "How far down is ore?"

Permalink

He pauses for a second before answering.

"There is treasure hidden all over the world. Some amazing things can be found deep underground!"

Permalink

Sigh.

"Why would I want to chop down trees?"

Permalink

"You can build a shelter by placing wood or other blocks in the world. Don't forget to create and place walls."

Permalink

Yeah Edie isn't really feeling motivated to do that. She'll probably just wait until Emily gets here and can insert metal into relevant murderthings.

Permalink

Marty wanders back and forth a few steps, then says, "You should stay indoors at night. It is very dangerous to be wandering around in the dark."

Permalink

Lovely.

Permalink

Sigh.

Well, Emily's coming as quickly as she can, modulo murdering anything else that tries to chase her.

Permalink

As Emily crosses the desert, she is repeatedly harassed by twelve-foot-long flying antlions. They're all as easily killed as the first one, and they all drop coins. Hopping blobs pass below her, sandy and green and blue and a tiny pink one that hops higher than the rest.

And then the desert gives way to a jungle, whose flying enemy of choice is tiny bats; and then there's another red zone she has to skirt around through a patch of forest; and then desert again, and a sandy beach, and a mile of open ocean followed by a perfectly flat vertical wall of fog.

The hopping blobs are kind of charming, really.

The tiny bats are harder to hit and may take multiple tries to get one sometimes but none of them manage to touch her before she gets them.

She hits the fog at full speed.

Permalink

For three seconds, she is surrounded by impenetrable fog and completely cut off from the outside world.

Then she emerges from the other side of the fog wall, travelling at the same speed at which she entered.

Permalink

Oh thank god, Edie breathes, having almost had a heart attack when her sister's mind was cut off.

Permalink

Ugh. Yeah.

D'you want me to come straight there or investigate Other Person?

Permalink

Come pick me up and we can investigate together, I don't think separation is safe right now.

Permalink

Ocean, ocean, ocean, beach, forest, jungle, hazy purple area with horrible deathly smell...

Permalink

She'll be flying around that too.

Permalink

Horrible grey creatures, with approximately the same silhouette as the things from the blood zone but different details, emerge from the purple haze and fly towards Emily. They follow exactly the same flight pattern as the blood creatures, too.

Permalink

Well, they too can learn the joys of dying explosively.

Permalink

They explode. They drop coins. That was easy.

Permalink

Whoever designed this place was not anticipating her.

And eventually she makes it to her sister, right, this place doesn't decide to be unhelpfully non-Euclidean or anything?

Permalink

Nope, it's perfectly topologically ordinary. The sisters can be reunited without trouble.

When Emily arrives, Marty looks at her and says, "Greetings, Edie. Is there something I can help you with?"

Permalink

"You can fuck right off."

She scoops up her sister and starts heading Personwards.

Permalink

"My name is Marty!"
