Wandering Inn 1.02

I forgot how matter-of-fact the writing is. It is actually pretty refreshing.

K, so this is like Right After she got her notification that she leveled up. Was it a mental thing, like a mind blip, or if she has an access screen is unknown at the moment. But her freaking out over it is a realistic reaction.

Oh look, it was a mind blip. Question solved

You know, I am not sure why she is freaking out so much about this though. Like, wouldn’t this just be super helpful that you know the general idea of this world? Leveling up like video games, monsters like rpgs and d&d, you got the basics down more/less.

So next day, she needs food. There is nothing in the Inn to eat that isn’t old, dust, or moving. So she is forced to go back outside to the world of monsters that she just escaped from.

God that is such a good line.

The idea of a different planet makes sense. But, to go to another dimension of Earth, it is the small things that jump out. Like, the idea that the clouds are just…too big. That, that makes it feel , I’m not sure. More real? More lonely?

So Erin is looking around the vast landscape of Mountains, Hills, and Valleys. Somehow high enough to look down on trees like it’s in Minecraft. With just some random old building just sitting there.

After yesterday, don’t trust anything just yet.

So she decides to leave to the trees to get from fruit. Sounds like a plan right? Well….

Don’t you hate it when giant rocks change your plans?

At least it isn’t goblins. New Goal: Get some Armor.

I will run away from giant crabs. I will run away from guns. I will run away from giant crabs with guns.

So she made it to the trees. The weirdly shot trees. I can’t even process a whole forest for just 10ft tall trees. You just need a ladder then you have basically a high platform.

Agreed.

She’s having problems with the tree. And the tree is stupidly hard to push down (like, any normal tree). So, spear the fruit?

Or I guess let it shimmy like a cartoon. How can it vibrate if it can’t be pushed? What logic is that??

Well she got the fruit, and got slightly upset that there isn’t a game announcement for getting said fruit. She was over thinking it.

Listen, this is the best way you test out food you don’t know. 1st: let it touch your skin to see for a reaction. 2nd: nibble a little bit to see for a reaction. 3rd: eat it and see for a reaction. If you feel fine after step 3, you good. But make sure to wait in-between tests.

But she opened the fruit, saw a giant ass pit which I thought had water, but turned out to be like cleaner-fluid smelling chemical. Can probably hide your sent from the rock crab.

Hey, just thought of something. Do inns have toilets? Glad the fruit turned out to be non-death. But fantasy toilets, do they exist?

Back to crab. She is trying to go around dumb crab again.

These things are goddamn terrifying if they can run 10ft per second.

Glad her aim is right, but it sounds like it isn’t affecting the crab as Erin/me thought it would. Like, with pain, confusion, acid, anger, etc. What, does it make it high?

Oh, so it is deadly afraid of that. Maybe it smells like the dead-ant pheromone ants would do. It didn’t do any damage other than smell, so that is the only thing I can think of.

Wait, Smurfs exist here?

Nevermind, they be evil Smurfs

I like how this implies that because Erin comes from another world, she is also faster that the average human here.

Fuck Yeah Michigan. Home Girl Represents!

Good way to end the chapter, just saying that she is from my home state while running away from goblins.
