kazeninaru: Haruka kneeling with the Space Sword and her planet in the bg (Default)

[Video, backdated to Tuesday morning]

[The network post opens with a not-so-great video of a distant city of blackened buildings, set in some kind of rugged desert terrain. It's not-so-great because it's being viewed through a set of lenses in a not-very-great telescope. Haruka's voice comes from off-screen.]

Found something interesting. That explosion or whatever it was looks like it was some kind of city.

[Then she pulls the phone back from the telescope to her face, with Darwin and Chime not too far off in the background, visible mostly because they're both taller than she is. Briar's around, too, but not within the camera's scope. There's also some Wasteland terrain visible. It looks like they had to get a little ways into it before they could get a clear picture on the shoddy spyglass Haruka had.]

We've already caught the Authorities flying that way, but we can't see what they're doing from here. We didn't bring supplies for crossing this mess, but I'd be happy to try coming back again if anyone wants us to get a closer look.


((Chime, Darwin, and Briar are all welcome to add their two cents to any thread in this, and if you wanna do an action thread in here, I'm cool with that too!))

I'd like very much to join you when you return.

[By this point Maria is used to that look.

She offers a soft and careful smile in return all the same though.]


I can offer biological and engineering knowledge as well as a photographic memory.

I can't say I've ever been in a fight, but I'm a rather quick study.

[maria's eyes cast downward and she frowns.]

Again I haven't. In my world I'd been working on biological engineering. I was hoping to get a few samples of that earth you spoke of. Depending on what is found there might be a chance of recovery.
carbonell: (Maria - Disappoint)

Plant mage?

[Maria's brain turns immediately to Briar and she closes her eyes, letting out a rather resigned sigh.]

Does his name happen to be Briar?

carbonell: (maria - Getting a headache)

[personal profile] carbonell 2012-12-20 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She rubs her forehead with her hand.]

We've met. In fact he told me in no uncertain terms that there was no way I could recreate the effects of his magic with science.

It may be best to procure other samples. Not only for experimentation, but also because I doubt he'll be willing to give them up. From what I've seen this world seems to be scientific in nature. Far more advanced then I've ever had access to, but still scientific. There may be a way to utilize the wasteland for our benefit. And if the samples are promising we might be able to get things growing there as well.

[That makes Maria smile brightly.]

I'll see about finding someone who has the time to teach me a thing or two about survival, and check if there are any books that could help us out there.

I'll do what I can by the time you get back. Hopefully I can find an alternate means of carrying provisions.

Maria Collons Carbonell. And yourself?

[personal profile] carbonell 2012-12-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[She raises a brow and smiles. Haruka has her full attention.]

Really? You don't happen to know what sort of craft it would be?
carbonell: (Default)

[personal profile] carbonell 2012-12-21 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[And Maria's face falls. No. She's not going to deal with that man again.]

Ah, no. It would be better to wait till you return on that matter.
carbonell: (Default)

[personal profile] carbonell 2012-12-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She offers an apologetic smile.]

I can't say that I've made the best of impressions. Or that they've made the best of impressions on me.

I'll be sure to take that into account.

Alright. Have a safe journey back.
growingwild: PB: Luke Pasqualino (That isn’t Lark who wants us)

[Action, for Haruka and also Chime and Darwin if they want to join in]

[personal profile] growingwild 2012-12-17 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
I ain't gonna be coming back with you next time. [Briar shuddered, and pulled his shakkan closer, trying to regain his strength from its green energy] I feel all dried up. My roots'll start shrivelling soon.

It's not the water. This place is dead - there's no plants here at all, not anywhere.

[Chime strides over, wearing his tougher Raksura form. Scales don't feel dried out so easily and his wings give him a bit of shade.]

It is an odd place. Makes me miss the Reaches even more. But there's always something alive.

[He's trying to cheer Briar up a bit.]

[Darwin shudders, eyes fixed on the horizon, though she can't see the city unaided at this difference.]

Whatever happened here...

We should at least send a party to check for survivors. Nobody could survive out here alone for long.

Maybe there's animals alive out there, but there's definitely no plants. I'd know if there were. [He knows how Rosethorn felt being without any plants in Urda's House now] What kind of war could destroy everything?

[Chime disagrees more out of principle than any evidence. He's never seen a place that didn't have life pulsing somewhere, even if it's scummy fungus or horrid insectoid crawlers popping up. And since he doesn't have the mentor power to reach out to find plants anymore, he's safe from being proven wrong.]

I could fly a ways, but so can the Authorities, so might be best not to risk being seen.
steamosaurus: (Contemplative)

Brair's right. This isn't natural. I've been all over my world and there's nowhere like this.

[Deserts, sure. And she wasn't too fond of those, either. This was a whole new level.]

I wouldn't want to leave anyone out there to the mercy of the elements. Or the Authorities, for that matter. [Her first and only encounter with them - the raid - had left a bad taste in her mouth. And she wasn't the sort to despise a whole group on principle.]
growingwild: PB: Luke Pasqualino (Nothing so nice)

[personal profile] growingwild 2012-12-19 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
We don't even know if there are any people out there. And if there are, we won't do them any good getting ourselves killed looking for 'em.

Uh-huh. Look me up when you get back into town. I might have a better solution than suicide by horse.

It's Stark. I'll send you the coordinates once you're back in town.
