Welcome to the Plateau
Who: Open Post!
What: A trip through L-Space
Where: Maple White Land
Warnings: Dinosaurs doing dinosaur things
[Today's Library invitation is in a much hastier scrawl. This book is several shelves along from the last, slim and unassuming, with a battered paper bookmark stuck exactly into Chapter 11, as the invitation directed.]
[Once you've tumbled through, you'll find yourself on the top of a beautiful plateau, overlooking miles of beautiful sweeping South American rain forest and flood lands, lush and vibrant and-- well, really quite far below. There's a rough tumble for anyone seeking to get down, now that they've arrived. Better to look at the tall forest you've arrived at instead, which... well, upon closer examination, doesn't look quite right. The plants seem a little larger and just slightly unusual, although it's hard to put a finger on why.
Thankfully, a bit of exploring fairly near the edge of the plateau will lead to a very tidy little base camp, where a collection of arguing professors, a globetrotting sportsman, and a young rugby-player-turned-reporter will happily answer questions about this strange place you've landed in. They might even show you a map as best as they've managed to concoct, with appropriate warnings about the forests all around and the rocky mountains farther north. One, at least, will also advise against moving too quickly, lest you fall into any of the deep pit-traps dotting the plateau on the way down toward the giant central lake.
Oh, and they'll probably warn you to keep an eye open for the dinosaurs. They've seen a number of pterodactyls and a herd of iguanodons, at least one stegosaurus, and--if the youngest member of the party is to be believed, something decidedly carnivorous has already given them chase.
Good luck!]
