Anna appears outside the village, right in the center of it. Anna is stunned to see how different is the world around her: There's no dusty, sandy desert or extremely dry badlands around her. Instead, there are green woods, fields of non-mutated wheat, and buildings which aren't made from an ugly mix of rusty metal, wires, and old, crumbling concrete. The only thing similar to her world is that the people have a rather poor hygiene. Being overwhelmed by how healthy-looking is the world she's in right now, Anna decides to ask locals where she can buy and drink brahmin milk, so that her mind calms down a little.

Asks the locals where I can buy brahmin milk.
Head to the place selling brahmin milk, should the locals share the information.

The world can only hope. I invited ATHATH, but he hasn't been on the forum in a little over a month.

ATHATH is still my archenemy. So, I'm not sure what I want, but it will definitely be something absurdly complicated.

(Sorry SM. I feel like I shouldn't keep everyone else waiting. I'll stitch your action in your placeholder spot once you're ready.)

TURN 1:In which yon Folk art denied Milk.

Name: Bork
Description: a tired cat
Why do you want milk: because I'm hungry.

(No action)

The sun rises as Bork the cat blinks in apathetic observation. The inhabitants leave their huts and wander about to begin the day.

Name: Aaron Blaze, Draconic god of luck!

You stir from your meditations and head toward the local castle. Most of the peasants give you a wide berth thanks to your intimidating draconic appearance, while a few who are familiar with your myth pick up leaves and sticks you stepped on in hopes of getting a good luck charm. Perhaps they sapped a bit of your luck, because you are interrupted on your journey down the road. Three brigands step out from behind trees with bows drawn. "Halt, oh 'mighty' dragon! Give up thy treasure, or be slain where you stand!"

You walk into the village. It reminds you a bit of Goodsprings. However, the locals seem untrusting of outsiders. Some mock your unusual clothes, while the more polite ones admit they don't know what a "brahmin" is.

Name: Mug
Description: A simple, ceramic mug.
Why do you want milk? To be filled with the divine ichor and ascend to godhood.

Try to move in the direction of milk.

3

You wiggle around on a table outside what passes for a pub here. Your former owner looks on in confusion. He doesn't try to stop you, figuring he's already had enough to drink. You manage to fall off and land safely on your side. At least now you're ready to roll out.

Name: Ziizo
Description: Either a normal human that loves cloaks or a vampire nobody is sure.
Why do you want milk?: Breakfast, milk tastes fine when mixed with me favored drink.

You walk out into the day, making sure to keep your head properly bowed. Nobody knows whether this gesture is intended to protect you from the Sun's cleansing light or just to keep that properly mysterious shadowing. Maybe both? Anyway, you spot an unattended horse just sitting out in the open outside the church. You hop on and ride off past the wheat fields toward the nearest village. As you leave, a knight bursts out of the church doors. He sees you absconding with his horse and shakes his mailed fist in the air. Hopefully nothing will ever come of that.

Name: Gerald "The Great" Goatsby
Description: An aging goatman normal human wizard with ties to an secret occult society.
Why do you want milk? For potions and experiments.

Attempt to create a magically self-replenishing milk fountain in the center of town with transmutation magic.

You're the great Goatsby. Your name is completely non-indicative and isn't a hint toward you being something other than a human. Especially not a goat. Checking the village supplies, you notice there isn't any milk. Grumbling in annoyance, you incant an eldritch spell of perpetual replenishment. Perhaps you did not use quite the correct spell. A little geyser of milk begins to spurt from the center of the village grounds. However, the ground begins to warp and twist underneath it. A bird lands to drink from it, and the milk replenishes itself by promptly melting the bird into more milk. This could quickly become a bit more milk than you intended.

(No action)

You enter a quaint village to buy milk. The watchman informs you that they don't actually have any available at the moment. It appears that a thief took the entire supply last night. He's as surprised as you, honestly.


Name: Adam Simons
Description: Adam had always believed himself to be a normal person, but one day he stumbled upon something no normal human could witness. He saw a fight between a demon and an angel, in their full glory. He was bathed in the hellfire and heavenly light from the battle, and he gained powers like no other person. He gained the power of an angel and a demon, and he chose to use them to help.
Why do you want milk?: "I'm starting with small goals first."

Summon a magic sword

4

As all this is said and done, a mysterious stranger wanders into town. Adam Simons gestures and a magic sword appears in his hand. It is divided down the middle between reddish black and white-gold halves.

Anna notices that the milk geyser has erupted; and not only that, but the geyser turns everything into more milk. Once she snaps out of outburst of shock and confusion, she points at the geyser and screams, "An unusual type of geyser has erupted, and it seems to turn everything it touches into milk, stay away from it!" After warning the citizens, she decided to rephrase herself, since there were no brahmins pre-War.

Ask where I can buy cow milk.
Go and buy a jug of cow milk for myself. Hopefully they at very least accept dollars (aka pre-War money) as currency.
