pulseof_lifeRather than remain in New Bodhum for the day, though they would return there for the night, Caius teleported them all to the ruins of a village. The buildings were made of metal (heavily rusted) and wood, which had held up surprisingly well under the ravages of time. Inside the buildings, personal things could be found: combs left on dressers, a few ancient photographs, and neatly folded blankets forgotten on the ends of beds.
A wide road cut through the village and a broad staircase led down to a murky beach. On top of one of the buildings, an overgrown fountain and the remnants of a garden could be found.
Powered crystal, which looked like snow from far away, and like sand close up, choked the side streets and surrounded the village.
"Welcome," Yeul said softly, "to Oerba."

Date: 2013-08-28 01:22 pm (UTC)Time left all things abandoned.
That knowledge didn't bother her.
Re: Daytime -- Arrival
Date: 2013-08-28 03:10 pm (UTC)It was a ruin. Whatever had taken place, it had done so years ago. She was not so much awed or struck with sadness as she was curious.

=Whatever.= Zeela's voice was gruff. =Our village is never gonna look like this, okay? We're gonna anchor somewhere before that happens. You'll see. Morrigen will never let this happen. Hell, that's why we're here, right? At school? To anchor Tryadnea as best we can. We're not about to be beaten by dirt.=

"No people passed here," he offered quietly.
Re: Daytime -- Arrival
Date: 2013-08-28 11:20 pm (UTC)She knelt down and picked up a handful of the crystal sand. "Did this arrive and choke them out?"

Date: 2013-08-28 12:52 pm (UTC)Re: Daytime -- Explore the Village
Date: 2013-08-28 03:11 pm (UTC)She seemed largely engrossed in her own world.
Re: Daytime -- Explore the Village
Date: 2013-08-28 08:42 pm (UTC)Rather than poking around the remains of dead people (macabre much?), Zeela was looking for something to poke with a stick. Repeatedly. Until it started poking back.
Because sublimating emotions into violence was a perfectly acceptable way to live!
Re: Daytime -- Explore the Village
Date: 2013-08-28 11:03 pm (UTC)Once Zeela began poking it, however, in unrolled in a hurry, looking like nothing so much as an arm made of rock that was clearly missing it's body.
It lunged for her ankles, with the scrape of rock on stone.
Re: Daytime -- Explore the Village
Date: 2013-08-28 11:30 pm (UTC)*Who cares what it is?!* Zhahar yelled. *It's trying to get us! Call for help!*
::Yes!:: Sholeh agreed, terror taking a backseat to curiosity. ::Maybe Caius can catch it and tell us about it!::
=You're both crazy!= Zeela snapped, jumping back to her feet before Mr. Grabby could take another swing at her. =I don't need help and it's not a pet, Sholeh!=
The a Zhahar Tryad, ladies and gentlemen.

He could have gone outside, but Yeul had wanted to go and her wishes, has always, had taken precedence.
Re: Night -- Back in New Bodhum
Date: 2013-08-29 12:47 am (UTC)It was only after Caius stopped reading and set his book aside that Sholeh spoke up. "I wanted to thank you, sir, for your help with all those things," she said. Loyalty made her say, "Zeela had it covered when it was just the one," while honesty made her add, "though I don't think she would have fared so well against the bunch."
