paradisabeyond | (no subject)

[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

Mm. Are you enjoying the trip?

Sort of. I'm not sure what to think of the Dead Zone.

[She sits and draws her knees up.]

...aaa. It's weird, not having your powers.

I haven't had them that long myself, but... [Well, it's still a little unnerving, knowing you could come across danger and be unable to defend yourself.]

Well, my situation's a little different...

[She tilts her head as she gathers her thoughts.]

I have this thing that can enhance certain abilities, but I haven't had it too long, so I can get used to it. [Sorta.]

It's...hmmm...the ability I was born with not being there that I don't like. I feel empty.

[Oh boy, how to explain she's a summoner.]
