Channelknight Fadran Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Spotting the broken-down laboratory up ahead, Ayia curves her Line upwards, skating along it until she reached the end, at which point she hopped off. The Line shot back up her sleeve, and Ayia took both her metal rods, placing the ends together and attaching them to each other. She held on with both arms until she was a good ten feet off the ground, at which point she Stabalized the rod; it held still by itself in the air, and she swung in a full arc around it, breaking her momentum before she fell again, casting her Line down and sliding down it like a pole.
Condensation she/her Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Andante arrived a little bit later, running quickly.
Negative_Null They/Them Posted October 14, 2020 Author Posted October 14, 2020 Chrysler waited until Ashley arrived at the end of the trail, then stepped off the path, abruptly returning to normal speed. She kneels down and touches the edge of the path, then says a word meaning "Come" The dust's glow stops and most of it, about 80%, lifts up off the ground and flows towards her hand, where she catches it in the bag it came from.
Condensation she/her Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Andante jogged in place for a bit, then stopped. Quote What do we see?

Something was very clearly wrong about the laboratory. It wasn't that pieces of the roof had been mysteriously removed. It wasn't that something seemed to be moving inside. Or maybe multiple somethings. It wasn't even that the whole place was totally and utterly silent. No - although all of those things were true, it wasn't any of them that immediately struck the watchers. Because the laboratory - and the desert surrounding it - were completely and utterly devoid of color. Nothing more than a black and white outline remained, like a empty picture in a child's coloring book.

You need their help. She gave Andante a (hopefully) reassuring smile. "It's the first time I've ever been attacked by a color-stealing dyrling," she said. "I suppose I'm a little out of my comfort zone, too."
