Open Isulus Antonio's Jungle Walks

[The Guy]

Joseph was taking time off from his duty as THE GUY. A man couldn't be devoted to bringing down Terrasphere all day. He had before tried to spend his relaxation time in the walls of Astorean cities, but something had just felt wrong about it.

After the Whistles had started giving him missions related to exploring areas, Antonio began to understand what he had been missing. He had joined this game to do two things-destroy it from the inside out, and relive his childlike feeling of curiosity he once had. This jungle, an environment he was familiar with yet not at the same time, was perfect for him.

Wet earth buckled under his boots each time that he would come here. Joseph had come on a mission each day before now, and today was no different. He was looking g for strange mushrooms today.

 

[Bradwynne]

Bradwynne always had a fascination for seeking out any possible plant or creature that was edible, and so when he heard that there were creatures that resembled mushrooms in this area of Isulus, he went there to see if he would find some. After all, he was a man fit for the hunt, and it was always a gratifying task to hunt and forage, and then eat what he had spent his sweat for. Also, he really wondered what a mushroom creature would taste like. Would the meat of those creatures taste like meat, or like mushrooms, or both? While his mouth was salivating at the thought, he knew he would never find one of he would just dally there and let his imagination run wild. And so, he then focused on searching for these elusive mushroom creatures, so that he would find the answers he was seeking.

But as he was marching on within the forest of Isulus, foraging some edible plants as he was moving and placing them inside a small sack while also seeking out some animals, and if he was lucky, one of those mushroom creatures, he then saw a person walking just nearby, as if he was looking for something. Intrigued, he then moved towards the person while still carrying the sack. "Are you looking for something here? If ever, what is it?" he then asked.

 

[The Guy]

The man he had approached was hunched over the base of a tree. Glancing back to the man, Bradwynne saw a man with face-place ever so slightly raised, a mushroom sticking out from between a sharp and bestial pair of fangs. He had gotten hungry, it seemed-but unlike the edible mushrooms that Bradwynne had, THE GUY was chewing into a poisonous toadstool!

It wasn't that poisonous, but it was still bad for the man eating it all the same. Joseph, in turn, saw a man carrying some very safe and clean mushrooms and herbs after a long day's worth of foraging.

"Same thing as you, it looks like! Good memories in the Tangleweaves." Crunch. "Building up some resistance to poison, you get me? Got to do it sometime in this body!" He exclaims, laughter interwoven with a coughing fit brought about by the mushroom's toxins. He didn't really expect to gain a resistance to poison by chewing up bad mushrooms, did he?
