[The moment you step through the door, a bright flash of light blinds you as your consciousness fades away…
When you wake up, you find yourself standing on a road paved in stones, surrounded by nature. The sun is bright and shining down on you, but it still doesn’t feel warm. This seems to be an extremely cold Winter day.
If you weren't wearing them before, you are now wearing gloves, and a Taisho-colored scarf that feels very nice to the touch.]
[thoughtful! fox wraps the scarf around himself a little more snugly. is he equipped with anything else other than his clothes, and is the path ahead linear, or are there exits to the east and west?]
[To your right, the road leads downhill! It seems to take a turn to the left not far from where you are, but you can't see where that leads from here. To your right, predictably, the road seems to go uphill.
There are trees everywhere, so it's hard to tell the cardinal directions at first glance. But there are birds singing and leaves rustling and nature nature-ing all around you. The air is very clean, if chilly.]
[The sights are even more beautiful in this direction! If it wasn't for the road, it would seem that as if this place is untouched by civilization. It's also getting colder with every step you take.
The road leads to a river, becomes a bridge to cross it, then takes a sharp turn to the right. If you look up, you can see big, icy mountains blocking the horizon, and what seems to be a cave.]
[fox definitely takes a moment to stop and admire the sights. but he is also very cold now. but beautiful sights!! ... he'll head deeper into the mountains]
[It's a real shame that you can't stay to look at everything more closely, Fox. This is very close to paradise.
You walk and walk, following the river upstream, until you finally come face to face with the mountains-- and the entrance to the cave. You can see your own breathing by now, that's how cold it is.
(Please ignore the characters you see in the picture). It’s not too hard to realize that the cave itself seems to be the source of the cold.
[You go inside, and set out on your journey! There's ice everywhere, and you'll have to touch the wall to know where to go since you can see nothing. The walls are covered in ice, so it's great that you're wearing gloves... You're an artist, your hands are very important! Please take care of them!
You manage not to slip and fall by being very careful.
[That's a good way to make sure the darkness doesn't betray you again, yes! Also, I should have moved the thread to level 2 since Fox entered the cave, but. I should be asleep. ANYWAY
You follow the blue light, and eventually it leads you to...
The floor in this space is covered with thick ice and there is a big skeleton with bones made of blue ice as well-- it's a dragon’s skeleton. There are assorted items and weapons around and under the dragon. (Once again, please ignore the three people in the picture!)
There are three other tunnels connected to this dome-- from where you're standing, there's one behind the dragon, one to its left, and one to its right.]
[This sword is sturdy! And seems to be a decent sword. But Fox will have a hard time lifting it up. It doesn't look that heavy, but... it is. Wielding it seems to be out of the question.]
The first one he tries to pick up --the one that looks like the better weapon-- is too heavy. But the second one is a perfect fit, and Fox can lift it up with ease!]
[If by adding it to your inventory you mean "carry it in your hand," yes... There's nothing as convenient as a magical inventory in this world.
Weapon: Katana
But look! There's a scabbard that seems to fit that katana over there! You'll still have to carry it in your hand, but you won't risk getting hurt in the process. Small victories!]

How beautiful.

What a magnificent creature...!
[sparkle sparkle. he makes some finger frames and peers through it to get the best angle for the eventual painting he's going to make of this.
and then see what sort of items and weapons are in this dragon's horde]
no subject
There's also coin, and... a basket... books... a Taisho hat... what seems to be a sketched drawing... pocky... instant pasta...]

fox hefts it to feel its weight, and, seeming pleased, will uh. add it to his inventory?]
I shall return this later.
