MISSION: SOMEONE LOST
I'm Brisk. When I was back in the lab, I had a friend called Casket. We both got put up for adoption, but due to lab regulations, only one of us ended up going- and it turned out to be me. I told her when I left that I would write, and I did. That was a week or two ago, and she hasn't replied yet, which is unlike her. I tried messaging her on the online chat thingy, but no such luck there either. When I got this weird pocket dimension equipment in the mail the other day, it mentioned something about pairs of TCPs being connected. I don't understand it entirely, but if I'm reading this correctly, then I'll be able to get in touch with Casket through this. I have no idea how dangerous this will be, but be prepared for anything.
OBJECTIVE: Find Casket
Party: [4/4]
Flicker
Indie
Mince
Clarice
RULES: No PvP, no items required, traveling equipment recommended.
DANGER: Your TCP will be in MINOR DANGER. There is some risk of bodily harm, but there is little to no chance of being KNOCKED OUT.

The four of you are standing in the middle of a lush forest. There is a small clearing to the NORTH with a cozy-looking cottage in the center. A gentle plume of smoke emanates from the chimney. To the EAST, SOUTH, and WEST is more forest.
What will you do?

Clarice waves at the other TCPs cheerfully. "Hi everyone! I'm guessing our host is in that cabin. It certainly seems like the most conspicuous place for them to be. Should we head in that direction?"

Mince signs a greeting, casing inscrutable. ‘Should we knock?’

"Sounds good to me."
Clarice goes NORTH to the cottage door and knocks loudly.

A few seconds later, a white and blue lizard type wearing elaborate robes opens the door. "You must be the ones who responded to my request. My name is Brisk. And you all are?"

‘Mince.’ They pull their backpack more snugly against them, and turn to the collision-type.’Is it just us?’

The flytrap-type seems a bit uncomfortable with the strange TCPs around him, but follows them up to the door. "Yes. I'm Flicker." He tugs on his neck leaves gently.

"There should be four of you, as far as I'm aware. Nice to meet you, Mince. Flicker." Brisk nods at Mince and Flicker respectively.
“And I’m Clarice! I’m looking forward to working with you all.”

A bear trap type sprints towards the group. “Aaaaaah am I late? So sorry! I had a little bit of trouble figuring out the mind... dimension... device... thing.” Indie skids to a halt to stand between Mince and Clarice. “My name’s Indie! Nice to meet you everyone.”

‘Nice to meet you,’ Mince echoes. They seem a bit reserved. ’We all just met, no worries.’

"That's everyone, then."
OBJECTIVE COMPLETED: MEET BRISK
NEW OBJECTIVE: FIND YOUR WAY
"So..." Brisk seems like he isn't used to addressing many people at once, but he's handling it okay.
"A few things. First, thank you all for coming. I really appreciate it."
"Second, I'm going to warn everyone right now I haven't done much exploring here. As far as I'm aware, it's just forest all around, but from what I've heard of people using these devices, that could change at any time. I also have no idea what direction Casket would be in."
"Third, I've noticed that fires seem to behave differently here. I myself have a particular fondness for them- I find it soothing to relax by a fire on a cold night. Here, though, they seem to actually heal those close to them. I've brought a backpack with some firewood and a flint and tinder, so that we can stop and regroup should anyone get hurt."
"Does anyone have any questions before we leave?"

Flicker merely shakes his wide head.
Clarice nods enthusiastically. “Sounds pretty good to me! Wonder if there’s a way to take some of this healing fire out of here... Might turn into regular fire then though so it’s probably better not to. Though that would be a good experiment in and of itself...” she trails off, suddenly looking a tad self conscious. “We’ve got a mission to do though! I’ll just... postpone any sample collection, for now.”

"Then let's get going." Brisk's usual deadpan voice is broken up with a slight bit of enthusiasm here.
NOW ENTERING: THE FOREST
"Okay, so... I actually don't know where we're supposed to be going here. There might be some kind of clue we could find to point us in the right direction. Why doesn't everyone take a look around and see what we can find?"
The forest is lush, but oddly cold and devoid of fauna. There are vines hanging from the trees, fruit bushes, and odd-looking plants with large leaves. You may examine any or all of these things.
