If you look at WITH and it’s adjoining regions on the map, you know that you’re going to see something big. At the intersection of the four region there is a positively huge rainbow-colored arena. That’s almost worth a visit on it’s own, if only to experience the sheer size of the thing. It would pretty much take up a whole region if it weren’t at the center of four.
Here’s a challenge for you insomniacs. Count the prims used in constructing that thing. I dare you.
Right now inside the arena is a kind of ecological art installation, where letters of the alphabet represent different animals. Okaaaaay.
I was on the fence about whether to write about these regions until I started exploring outside the arena. It turns out the the arena is just a big distraction. Outside is where the action is.
In one corner you’ll find a UFO hovering over a crop circle and a number of strange objects. Take a ride on the hovercraft — it’s kind of fun and it kind of spooks the cow. Okay, the cow doesn’t react. Maybe it’s frozen with fear.
Anyway, if you stand in th center of the crop circle some instructions to PLEASE CLICK HERE will appear out of nowhere. As you might imagine, clicking here gets you abducted, not by aliens…
…but by this guy / gal / I’m not really sure. Let’s call him/her/it Potato Hands. Potato Hands will start talking to you, but since he speaks Japanese you had best grab a free translator from here before you go in there. What happens next? Heck, I’m ot going to spoil all your fun.
In another corner you’ll find what looks like a pleasant little woodland walk. Grab a lantern and head on in. It turns out this is a kind of spirit park, for lack of a better term. It’s not exactly scary, but there are some surpising sights and sounds.
Just a note: If you want to use the bathroom, I hope you aren’t shy because you might have company. Creeeepy company.
On your journey, you may encounter glowing, floating spirits. Or they may be giant sperm. In the Japanese regions you never know.
At the end of the road you can pay L$10 for this glowing lady spirit thing attachment who will apparently protect you or you or box your ears. It’s kind of hard to tell.
