[Open] In Philly
Who: Trance and Open
What: A proper introduction! One that doesn’t involve anyone getting attacked, getting healed, or getting in a gigantic unexpected argument! After the chaos of arriving, running for her life, learning to heal, and attempting to stop her best friend from completely burning every possible bridge, Trance looks for a little mental R&R by doing some exploring around the camp.
Where: In and near the library.
When: After the healing log but before the quest moves on.
Warnings/Notes: Only what you bring with you. I’ll update if any are added.
I. Outside The First
[There’s a curious-looking purple girl with a tail exploring the abandoned buildings outside the library the group has holed up in. She stops to pet one of the oversized vines, talking to it under her breath, before she notices one of the many-eyed lizards farther up the building.
Her tail twitches slightly side-to-side before she extends a hand toward it, carefully, slowly. It’s well out of reach, but she doesn’t let that stop her. The lizard doesn’t seem to take note or care either way if it does see her. With that many eyes, how could it not notice? She frowns slightly and wiggles her fingers a bit.]
Come on. I don’t bite. ...I hope you don’t bite, either. You don’t, right?
[The lizard remains unfazed.]
II. Outside The Second
No, not- Not that way!
[Trance has discovered another spell she has access to. She sits cross-legged in a patch of grass breaking through a pile of rubble that may have once been a road, hands stretched in front of her, fingers buried in the grass. The grass, which she is talking to.
The grass… which seems to be responding, after a fashion.
It grows right impossibly fast, twisting and turning around itself to make vine-like ropes that grab for anything passing by. She, perhaps, hasn’t quite learned to control this part of it yet. The grass-vines grab the nearest passerby and Trance snatches her hands away from the ground with a squeak. The grass doesn’t do anything but hold its accidental prisoner in place, but it also doesn’t seem to be receding.
Sorry! I’m sorry! That wasn’t- [She takes a deep breath and presses her hands to the ground again.] I can fix this.
III. Inside
[Trance has found herself a quiet corner to read in, out of the way and unlikely to be stumbled upon by anyone she’s currently annoyed at. A small pile of books sits next to her, a couple larger ones already tucked into a sad-looking messenger bag. They largely seem to be medical books or emergency preparedness manuals, although one has a blank but fancy looking binding that obviously doesn’t match the decaying state of a lot of the library’s books.
At the moment, though, she’s distracted by one particular book that even at first glance is not the serious subject matter of the rest of her finds. Though faded, the cover obviously once sported bright colors and reflective foil in the shape of scales on a fish. She seems entirely engrossed in reading the picture book, not paying much attention to her surroundings except to look up whenever she hears footsteps.]

no subject
She looks a bit embarrassed when he reveals her mistake, but only a bit. As least she hadn't assumed he was something weird.]
Oh! Sorry. There's nothing wrong with being a cyborg, either, you know. I've met a few of them. One was really mean and tried to shoot me, but I'm sure you won't do that.
[It had been a trying time for everyone.]
Have you been here very long? I only just got here right when everything was kind of. Exploding.
no subject
[ Given how things are going, he kind of misses it. Shooting at people who were trying to hurt his friends, those sure were the days. ]
I've been here since... well, I guess since we started showing up here? That was the worst thing that's happened to us so far.
[ It's not like anyone else has shown up and claimed to have been around longer. ]
You'd think that would mean I have some idea what's going on by now, but no. I don't think anybody really does.
no subject
[But just probably. She has faith in people's ingenuity.]
I guess that's good. Unless things are just going to get worse which is always possible. Or maybe they'll get better and we'll all be really happy and surprised. [She even looks like she believes it. Optimism is very strange when you don't know whether it's really going to happen that way or not. She's working on it.] At least if nobody knows, then we're all on equal footing? It's like a field trip!
