 THE OASIS General setting: The Oasis is a small body of water that breaks away from the otherwise tedious nature of the surface of the Isle of Famine, nestled into location by a series of high cliffs. It is reachable through a series of pathways underground, and acts as the water reservoir for the clan, especially involving their testing rooms. While the water is dry, clean, the area is also for the most part abandoned. The only real function of the oasis is to act as a natural cooling agent close to one of the exits of the colonies underground. OOC: EVENT ROLLS AND PROMPT MECHANICS: - When your student has arrived in this setting, you can CHOOSE to roll a 100-sided dice at any point in time. You can only do this twice per RP you make. Match your dice roll to the results below for a prompt/ small reaction that your student may discover. RP out results accordingly. 1-20: The Oasis looks pretty much abandoned, except for the occasional clan member wandering around gathering supplies around the oasis. You notice an abundance of strange and different crops all patched around the oasis: from unknown herbs to strange, snapping leaves. 21 - 40: You see something move in the water, and you try to take a closer look at it. The shadow in the water responds by reaching out, nearly dragging you into the water forever. You barely wriggle out of its grasp - did you just get attacked by a plant? 41 - 60: The reeds around the oasis seem to oddly bend and shift whatever direction you are moving. When you get suspicious and turn around to stare at them, they immediately feign "stupid" and stop moving. 61 - 80: You hear a strange buzzing noise, and see a small colony of bugs, what look like locusts moving in and out of the oasis area. What are they doing in a place like this? 81- 100: You notice a thick black texture in the water of the oasis. It almost looks like.... oil? (see below for horsemen point prompt) - Horsemen point prompt! You also see something glint next to you, but is it just a trick of the light? Roll a 6-sided dice. If odd you obtain one horsemen point! You can only redeem a max of two from all prompt prps/orps your student is in per OOC 24 hours. You can redeem these here and here!

Vaith needed a break. He needed time just to himself, without .. watching moths come out of a stomach, without imagining his own stomach doing the same. He still felt a little off, to say the least, trying ti wipe the image from his brain. But it was hard to get rid of it, especially when everyone in famine did that.
However, that wasn't to say that they weren't amazing and admirable in their own right. If you simply discarded the part where you had to stomach it, Vaith felt like he could have a really useful learning time here. Not like Amityville, where he got caught up in situations.. but actually, learn.
A part of him was eager and couldn't wait to learn more. He walked through the halls to the oasis, locusts moving in and out .. Huh. So those were locusts.

Sparrow had not been to the Oasis at all yet, but he'd heard good things about it. And considering that he had spent the past two days working almost nonstop, what with all of the classes, training exercises, tree climbing, noxious newt essence, and bean bag holders (don't ask), he decided it was time for a break and that he deserved one.
When he got to the Oasis, however, he found he was not alone in his wanderings. The noise reaper he had met before - Vaith - was walking absently alongside the pool of water, looking at a collection of what seemed to be insects.
"Ah," said Sparrow, smiling. "Vaith! How are you? Having a good time, I hope?"
There was something glistening black across the surface of the pool. Frowning a bit, he stepped over to it, letting his fingers drift over the clear, crystalline water. He wasn't sure what it was, but it was heavy and black and looked thick, and quite out of place in such a beautiful location.
Something glinted to his left. Sparrow's fingers brushed through the grass.
Odd, he thought, but he straightened, and looked up at Vaith again.

"Oh hey. Sparrow. Glad to see you." Vaith turned his attention from the locusts, eyes following Sparrow's movements in the water. Did he see a glimmer too?

Nope, no glimmer. Vaith directed his attention back to Sparrow, sighing. Although it wasn't necessarily a tired or a heavy sigh. "As good as one gets in .. Well, it takes awhile to get used to those clear ribs and eating livers and minipets." Vaith admitted, his own hand brushing against his stomach uncomfortably.

Another glint in the corner of his eye .. There seemed to be a lot of these things in the oasis. They were pretty cool ... as long as you didn't die getting them. Which, some mysterious plant in the water had it out for students like Vaith. Q_Q

Vaith didn't die getting it this time. It must have looked pretty silly, two students around the oasis, looking for treasure-like objects.

"Yeah, the ribs I could do without," said Sparrow in agreement, as he wandered aimlessly around the oasis. It seemed a rather pleasant place, very calm and soothing, the waters crystalline blue.
"And I could do without seeing the dissected minipets in alchemy class as well," he added, making a face. "That was rather unfortunate."
There were several plants around of all different shapes and sizes, and Sparrow meandered over to a few of them, idly examining the various leaves and flowers that were blossoming throughout the little space.

He only found more plants as he went on, however, and Sparrow wound up spending the next few moments trying to untangle himself from a particularly gripping, viney plant that seemed to want to attach itself permanently to his leg.

"Hey Sparrow, at least it's a nice place to sleep." By the waterside had to be the best. The sound of locusts was growing to be a lullaby.

"This is true," said Sparrow, and smiled at Vaith. He was standing near the water, and Sparrow knelt down beside it, peering curiously at what looked like a shadow shifting through the reeds.
Unfortunately he'd only just barely caught a glance since in the next second he was dragged unceremoniously into the water with a loud splash.
Several moments, multiple swear words, some kicking and a bit of squawking indignantly later, Sparrow dragged himself back up onto the landing, soaked and looking more than a little bedraggled.
"Well that," he said, in as dignified a tone as he could muster, straightening his tie. "was not very nice."

The sleepiness of the oasis wore off, as Sparrow would hear Vaith's ridiculous roll of laughter on and off as Sparrow came up like a wet cat. All of his clothes and hair hung downwards .. and Vaith had been pretty sure he heard squawking.
HAHAHAAA~

Sparrow gave Vaith a Look that clearly said that this was a Serious Matter and that he did not much appreciate being cackled at.
Especially since not even five minutes later he was attacked by the very same plant yet again and spent the next several moments attempting to not drown.
