2ed [action]

[Johanna had been wanting to play with the so called "Magic Dirt" for some time now, having heard of it from the various constructs others had created of the stuff. Now, having collected said substance through an ordeal that has left her with a few scratches and  more then enough annoyance for a single days work,  Johanna set to work bringing into existence the one thing nessary for her to live a comfertable life in this strange, and to Johanna, rather irritating place, a replica of her beloved home that now sat in the English countryside several worlds away.

The building itself is rather nondescript, two-story, Victorian, affair colored a lovely shade of white and surrounded by an array of carefully planted flowers. The buildings innards roughly it's exterior and is decorated in a style that would seem woefully out of date to anyone born after the second world war.  Johanna's bed room lies towards the front of the buildings second story and follows roughly the same style of decoration as the rest of the home, save for the fact that almost ever item in the room is some shade of black and their is but a single window to provide light to the rather depressing looking sleeping quarters.

Finally, located near the buildings staircase is a rather plain looking door that remains perpetually locked unless opened by the home's owner. If one is lucky enough to convince Johanna to open the portal, or stupid enough to break in, one will find themselves in the midst of what appears to be some kind of laboratory. Though stocked only with the basics needed for chemical and biological study at the moment, the darkness of the room and various sharp implements everywhere are still enough to unnerve those with a weak will.

After touring the newly minted structure, Johanna again steps outside in the afternoon sun and admires her handiwork. Though not smiling, the Necromancer rarely did, she still seems rather happy with things.]

[It wasn't anything new for Gabrielle to curiously explore her surroundings. After all, a sniper's job is to know their surroundings during a battle and use that to their advantage, isn't it? The Gardens were larger than she expected and almost seemingly never ended (there were a few places here and there that seemed to veer off—she would have to visit those spots later).]

[But as she makes her way through another part, she can't help but notice the beautiful house that stood there. After seeing years of skyscrapers and cities, it is almost foreign to see a house like the one before her. Gabrielle wouldn't have said it herself, but the old-looking house reminds her much of her childhood home. A bit of nostalgia hits her as she admires Johanna's work.]

[Until her eyes drift down to the woman standing in front of it; Gabrielle calmly walks over, glancing up at the house once more.]
Is this yours?

It's beautiful... [She says it a bit breathlessly, but it's only for a moment. She crosses her arms and tilts her head.] You built it all on your own?

"Magical dirt"? [The idea, at least for this place, of dirt containing any form of magic, doesn't really surprise her all that much. Her tone is a bit incredulous, but at this point, it almost seems as if she is living in some sort of fairy tale—different from her own world full of destruction and emptiness—something she expects from a Garden full of talking animals.] And how exactly does that work?

How did you make the house? I mean... did you think of it and the magic dirt put itself together?

[Her tone sounds a bit condescending, only because she's confused.]

That sounds ridiculous.

[A house made entirely of dirt; Gabrielle's not sure wether she wants to believe it or not. Even in a place like this.]

[Reeve's been making a habit of taking a daily walk on her own. Just to go someplace new everyday, to try to learn a little more about her surroundings and the women in them. An architect herself, she particularly enjoys seeing the sorts of things people build for themselves. Imagination unhindered by practicality.

Spotting the distinctive building, and it's equally distinctive owner, Reeve makes her way closer. Having taken it all in, she approaches the young woman-- who seems to be pleased with her creation, from what Reeve can tell.]


Lovely, isn't it. The way white paint tones differently during each hour of daylight. It's beautiful now-- I'll have to come by and have a look in the morning.
She smiles, hands in her pockets.
Is this a replica of your home? It's quite nice.

Yes, I felt the same way! I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of taking up residence in the "company housing", either. Not sure I care too much for the landlady-- though I suppose the freedom in question is illusory.

[She realizes she's going on. Which she tends to do. Also, that she doesn't know the woman's name. Or anything else about her. She smiles, extending her hand.]

So sorry, the name's Reeve. Reeve Tuesti. Have you been here very long?

Good to meet you, Johanna Cabal. So. When you're not being whisked away to strange gardens, what is it that you do?
