[Video/Action] Exploration

_{[Nausicaä stands atop one of the taller pieces of ruins, one leg up as she peers away from the mirror. A breeze whips at her flying jacket, the dark blue cloth rippling around her legs. She finally turns back to the mirror, looking thoughtful.]}

These ruins... they remind me of some of the ones back home; the cities and towns that were swallowed by the Sea of Corruption. Except here there's no miasma. No spores. I wonder what happened...?

_{[She pauses and shrugs.]}

At least we're not going to starve to death anytime soon. But still....

_{[Feel free to come upon her. Or just talk.]}

[Ah, that was a voice she recognized along with a face she knew as well, thanks to those mirrors. Alice decides to fly up to her and have a talk. Yes, fly.]

Nausicaä, was it?

_{[Nausicaä blinks and looks up. A moment later her face splits in a happy, wondrous smile.]}

Yes! How...?

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Ah, I suppose you aren't familiar with what I'm doing. It's rather common from where I come from. It's a little hard to describe though.

Would you prefer if I was on the ground? It doesn't really matter to me.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

No, no! I think it's wonderful!

-What's that in the distance, standing on another tall former pillar? It seems to be a girl gazing out to the horizon.-

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[Huh. Nausicaä waves.]}

Hello!

[misfortunewheel.livejournal.com]

-The girl turned to the voice. There seems to be a certain emptiness in her look until her eyes focus. But in that same moment, the girl is gone in a blink.-

_{[How odd...]}

[CRACK]

[The occassional sound of shattering and smashing, stone striking stone, thunder through the ruins from somewhere near by, where Nero is picking up and throwing rocks the size of her head into other rocks, cracking them in various random shattered forms. She's searching through the shattered pieces, examining them with dusty hands and disdain.]

[BAM]

_{[Nausicaä peers for a moment and then makes her way down. She approaches cautiously - she's no wish to get pegged by one of those.]}

What are you doing...?

[bishoujo-ga-yoi.livejournal.com]

Looking for chert. [It's rather loud]

I'll know if it breaks right.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

What's Chert?

[Minako is below, but she has been watching the girl with some curiosity, and after a moment she decides to attempt to climb.]

[Sailor Venus, it turns out, is a much more graceful building-scaler than Minako, but with some jumps and scrambles, Minako seems to be managing. She pauses.]

You must be incredible, to get all the way up there!

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

I've had quite a lot of practice!

_{[She stoops and offers a hand to Minako.]}

Here - watch your step!

[action]

[thevenusian.livejournal.com]

[Minako grabs Nausicaä's hand, saving herself what looked like it was about to be a tumble. With a little assistance, she pulls herself the rest of the way up.]

Thanks! Whew! [She dusts herself off.]

You must've had a whole lot of practice! I've climbed, you know, things before. Mostly fences. This was tougher than it looked.

[Larry's poking around the ruins as well, curious about what kind of people made them when she overhears Nausicaa.]

...what was all of that?

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Oh?

_{[She blinks.]}

Just thinking of home.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

That's some kinda home.

[peering up at Nausicaa]

How did you get up there?

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[She laughs.]}

I climbed, of course!

[action]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

That looks like it was a lot of work.

[Signum has found her way to the ruins herself, and is on the ground, looking at them critically. She's trying to discern a pattern or clue as to where, exactly, they were, and kind of wishing that weasely fellow from the main office was here...not that he could be, anyway.]

I wonder...were these brought here like us, or were they the starting point...

[Hearing Nausicaä talking, she looks up and spots the girl on top of the ruins, giving an incline of her head by way of greeting.]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[The girl waves in reply.]}

Hello down there!

[brustriese.livejournal.com]
