There was definitely a unique atmosphere upon entering the checkered forest; the air was brisk and surprisingly fresh for being in the After, likely due to the unique trees, though something felt off.
"Hey, was it always so…foggy?" Joel asked.
The group stopped for a moment as Emilio looked around along with the others, finding a mist occupying the forest just a few minutes after entering it.
"Brings back unpleasant memories, huh?" Emilio asked, standing beside Vandread.
Vandread kept himself focused, "Mist makes it easy for the enemy to get the jump on us. We need to stay vigilant."
"Don't need to tell me twice," Joel whispered, keeping his sword drawn.
Blimpo kept his goggles on, "I should've made more pairs of these. I can see pretty okay even in dense fog like this."
There was more caution in how they moved, making sure to stick close to one another as to now be separated by the thick veil of mist now occupying the unique forest.
