==> Phylus: Freak Out.

[mapmaking]

Well, you DID IT. You finally left the comfort of your HIVE, armed with your favorite BRANCH and equipped with your new GOGGLETOP, those snazzy new hands-free eyewear computing devices you thought up. You admit that you haven't really made much in the way of alchemization, but this is one thing you enjoy.

You manage to get through the FIRST GATE and now you're...somewhere? Somewhere with NO FERNS which you think is dumb. You don't even have a map. There's no GATE in sight, and all you can see are the weird little LIZARDS that flop around on your planet and some IMPS, those stupid things.

Wait, no gate?

You're....stuck.

You're STUCK?! Wait, what!! You didn't sign up for this!

You're glad he finally left the safety blanket of his HIVE behind, but this is almost painfully irritating for you to watch.

You sigh and draw up a quick WALL to divide up a small number of the IMPS from your CLIENT PLAYER.

You TWITCH and immediately set to work boxing the segregated IMPS in on all sides, making sure that the room you create is a PERFECT CUBE. You also make it a nice shade of ROYAL BLUE for funsies.
