video, mid-morning | patch of Felucia in Queens

[traceofeffort]

So, uh. I don't think I've ever seen flowers like this, and especially not in New York City? [Her camera shows strange plants all over the place; she's sweating in her light flannel somehow, despite that it's supposed to be a pretty nice day.] They're kinda pretty. I keep trying to look up what they are, I've got an app and everything, but I can't get a signal... The network works fine, though? Can't ask anybody either, it's deserted. I don't recognize any of this, but I was on my way to class, so I guess I'll keep walking and see if I come out the other side?

[She looks and sounds uneasy, but all she can do is her best, right? She's got a strong sense that something is Not Normal about all this, just like something was Not Normal in K-Boz and rapidly progressed to Even Less Normal.]

I'll post again if I get lost. Wish me luck!

You're welcome.

I think you ought to get back to your place, though. No telling what might happen next, with things being blended like this.

[traceofeffort]

Yeah. If I'm gonna be out here, I sure as hell shouldn't be out here alone. And unarmed. And really I just shouldn't be out here at all, but I know myself better than that.

[howkickassiam]

Too curious, huh.

Maybe you should join up with me and Yotsuyu.

[traceofeffort]

Maybe... I admit I didn't come out here prepared for anything more complicated than class. Home first, I think, then I can talk adventure. Not that I'm going to be any help with adventuring, but that won't stop me from wanting to know, yeah?

[howkickassiam]

Yeah, I understand. It's pretty hard to choose, huh.

[traceofeffort]

A little, ahaha... I don't want to get hurt, but I need to know what's going on. We end up in too much trouble to just ignore stuff like this, yeah?

[howkickassiam]

I think so. But if you've never dealt with any kind of fighting...maybe better to stay in, huh?

[traceofeffort]

...maybe. But dammit, York, look at this stuff! [It’s a half-hearted complaint at best.] I’m definitely coming back with someone that can actually hurt anything that comes looking for a fight.
