Rolling up your sleeves, you motion for your fellow stooges to sit tight for a sec as you walk over to the tallest tree you can find in your immediate vicinity! If anyone sees ‘<span class="mu-i">Big, Tough, and Murdery</span>’, gimme a sign!
“Can do, chief.” Salutes Pepper as she graciously takes a seat on the forest floor!
“Safe travels, dude!” Adds Raj as he hops on his skateboard and immediately beefs it courtesy of a well-placed pinecone.
With a crack of your knuckles, you shimmy up the bottom of the tree’s trunk until you reach a suitable branch–it’s a bit thinner than you’d like, but it holds. That’s what matters most, right?
Steadily pulling yourself higher up, the pine tree thankfully has more than enough footholds for you to step into, and despite it being somewhat damp thanks to the sea fog and evening chill, the worst obstacle you run into is a particularly sticky sap-covered branch near the top!
Your head emerges from the canopy a few minutes later. Basking in the brisk air for a moment, you remember why you’re up here in the first place and get to surveyin’!
Despite your mad dash away from the mansion, you’re simultaneously happy and mortified to find that you didn’t really get that far–from your perch you can see that the mansion directly lies to the <span class="mu-s">NORTHEAST</span> of your position and the <span class="mu-s">AMPHITHEATER</span> sits just <span class="mu-s">NORTH</span> of that!
You can’t quite get a great look at it from your angle, but judging by the lights and the faint shapes of people on stage, you’re pretty sure Student Council’s party hasn’t been crashed.
<span class="mu-i">Yet</span>...
To the <span class="mu-s">NORTHWEST</span> you spot the trio of mountains you saw coming in on the ferry–you could have sworn the rightmost one had some kind of antenna on it–one that blinked red against the night sky–but if it was there then it ain’t shining any more…
Further to the <span class="mu-s">WEST</span> sits a sizable lake at the base of the mountains–you’d almost consider tracking down a rowboat and waiting in the center until morning came around, but with all the surprises you’ve had tonight you’d rather not tempt fate anymore than you already have!
The last big landmark you can make out through the fog is a colossal <span class="mu-s">WAREHOUSE</span> to the <span class="mu-s">SOUTHWEST</span> of the mansion–if you had to guess you’d assume that’s where they store other supplies for the island year round… food, machine parts, who knows what else?
Peering out across the foggy ocean, you’re immediately surprised by the number of ships and vessels you can see!
<span class="mu-s">ZERO.</span>
You didn’t really want to think about it before, but unless someone has a direct connection to the mainland you <span class="mu-i">might</span> be stuck here for a little while longer…
>CONTD.
