Experiment 003

[averynastyqueen]

The current Wilderness sounds most interesting, does it not?

Would anyone mind accompanying me on a visit? I haven't yet gone before, and I've heard mixed things about its past states, and that one can never be entirely sure when it'll change.

(Perhaps I should look into it more often.)

The current Wilderness is extremely dangerous.

[averynastyqueen]

So I've heard. I'm not about to go in alone.

[ghost_of_00]

You will require a partner with combat abilities.

[averynastyqueen]

I gathered as much.

[letmefollow]

I would not recommend that course of action. There have been reports of extremely inhospitable conditions down there with the potential to suffer from serious psychological trauma. Any effort to go down there would be very bad idea to the point of being self-destructive.

[averynastyqueen]

Or a possible learning experience. It partially depends on how well you prepare, intellectually, emotionally, and otherwise, and I've been doing my best to gather information. The more I hear, the more interested I become in a bit of investigation.

[letmefollow]

So you would be prepared to endanger both yourself and whoever you went with, just to satisfy your desire for information?

[averynastyqueen]

I am asking for a volunteer, am I not?

I thought nothing of value was discovered without sacrifice. Not that the sacrifice need be oneself's. To say nothing of the fact that I strongly crave excitement. Work, interior decorating, and occasional rounds of shopping are pleasant enough, but only so for a short while on their own. The Wilderness seems to exist to be explored.

I'm not about to ask you to sympathize, nor will I ask you to go with me.

If you end up ignoring all warnings, don't expect anybody to stick their neck out to save you from your own foolishness. It's not a place to underestimate.

[averynastyqueen]

I'm doing well to try not to.

Does this mean nobody will attempt to stop me if I find someone willing to come along?

[stonyfaced]

Well to ignore warnings? Yes, I should say so.

Somebody may, but most of us aren't your babysitters. You want to take a risk for the sake of adventure? Go right ahead.

[averynastyqueen]

Not to underestimate the Wilderness.

I have not ignored a single one of the warnings I've been repeatedly given, no matter how irritating and redundant they're getting. I'm simply not deterred by them.

[esoteric_rose]

I wish I could, but I find myself incapable at the moment, seeing as I wouldn't want to pressure my [pause as the right word's found] companion.

[averynastyqueen]

"Companion"?

Well, I must appreciate the support, at least. Do tell me if you find yourself able.

[esoteric_rose]

The strange event that placed people into teacher/student roles also affected me.

Perhaps, if I can convince him, then you can come with us? I've been wanting to see this for myself, and a group of three sounds even safer than two for exploring.

[averynastyqueen]

I see.

It does, indeed. A convenient plan. Please ask him as soon as you can, or we may never get to see it at all.

Although as for safety in numbers, it's only fair to warn you I cannot fight.

[sixthsinner]

Got a thing for dark, dank and scary, lady?

[averynastyqueen]

Scariness is subjective, but perhaps. That would depend on what else it is.

[sixthsinner]

Going to take a look?

[averynastyqueen]

Not on my own, but I believe I've made it clear I'm interested.
