[Video/Action] Exploration

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[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.

[action]

[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!

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Is flight itself a marvel from where you are from? Or is the fact I can do it on my own why you see it as wonderful?

((ooc note of edit: I hate forgetting to type words.))

Oh, no. We have flying machines - but no one can fly under their own power.

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

I have not had the chance to run into many machines. I believe the kappa back home wish to change that however.

[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]

[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]

Well, most of our machines are left over from before the Seven Days of Fire - but they keep us going. We make do.

_{[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...?

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

I've had quite a lot of practice!

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

Here - watch your step!

[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?

[action]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

The 'Seven Days of Fire'?

It sounds like the title of a novel.

[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.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

Oh?

_{[She blinks.]}

Just thinking of home.

[action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

The world was consumed by fire from the God-Warriors... It's an old tale, from a thousand years ago.

Re: [action]

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

_{[Nausicaä nods.]}

It's something I've done a lot of. The Sea of Corruption is a bit dangerous, but you have to know how to get around if you want to explore it at all.

[action]

[thevenusian.livejournal.com]

Sea of ... Corruption?

I'm pretty bad at geography, but I'd remember a place with a name like that.

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

That's some kinda home.

[action]

[Alice's thought process at the mention of 'God-Warriors'. Gods -> Shrines -> People who look after shrines. Warriors + previous -> Shrine warriors -> Shrine Maidens -> Reimu with fire.]

Ah... I can only assume how it must have been.

[bugcharmer.livejournal.com]

It's the world I live in.
