[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.]}

Was there any reason for you to?

-... And then she was floating right beside the other girl. And had a smile on her face.-

Hello.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Seen anything interesting?

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

That's a pity. I was hoping there would be something here.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Someone used to live here... But I can't tell how long ago.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[She blinks and half-turns, startled.]}

...where did you come from?

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true of any cooking.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

To see what was up here!

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. It's just ruins so far.

[action]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

...I wonder if I should give it a try. To get to the top, that is.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Aha, true... I've seen some pretty incredible things...

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

It must have been a good amount of time.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

I can give you a hand, if you like. It's not that difficult, really.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

The miracles of cooking.

_{[She sits, peering down at the other woman.]}

I'm Nausicaä, by the way.

[action]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

-Alright!

[grabbing on to whatever she can find above her]

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Probably. Decades, maybe centuries.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[Nausicaä clambers down easily and offers her a gloved hand.]}

Just look for good hand-holds, make sure your feet are set before you reach for another... and always save one hand for what you're climbing on!

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

It certainly gives off a very unpleasant feeling, especially when you think about it.

[action]

[morelikemeteor.livejournal.com]

[taking that]

Thanks! ...I can do this.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[Nausicaä guides her to the next hand-hold, then climbs a bit further up, turning her head to watch her progress.]}

There you go...! You just need to learn how to read what's in front of you.

[action]

[thevenusian.livejournal.com]

I think we might be from very different places.

[A pause.]

Isn't that funny?

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

It's not that unpleasant... Death is a part of life and we're a part of that. Everyone has a time.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

A bit, yes....

_{[She frowns.]}

...I'm not sure what it means.

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

... I've actually met with two people who absolutely cannot die.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

How...? That seems impossible. Everything dies.
