FOTT - Earth 2767

[Condensation she/her]

Andante yawned, a tactic she used to use on road trips. Her ears popped and she sighed. Much better. 

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

The descent is quick - Martin knows Nahl's habits, and this is definitely one of them.  "Buckle up," he reminds everyone as they get closer.  "You don't want to go flying when we land."

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Queen hadn't unbuckled once during the flight, so she just mentally prepared herself for a rough landing, willing herself not to puke all over everything.

[Mat he/him]

Craven woke up, surprised to find that he had fallen asleep. He was glad that he had, even if he wished he could have slept through the landing.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Three minutes after they touch down, Nahl walks into the cabin, opens the ramp, and says "You can leave now."

[Condensation she/her]

"Oh good," Andante says.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ayia stood, stretched, cracked her back (VERY audibly), then reached out a hand for Queen. "You didn't even puke once! Nicely done."

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Queen shakily grabbed Ayia's hand, clutching onto it like a lifeline. "Don't speak too soon."

[Mat he/him]

Craven tried unsuccessfully for a minute to undo his seatbelt, and when he finally did, he ripped his fingernail. Ow! Craven kept the thought inside.

[Condensation she/her]

Andante unbuckled and stood up, her legs complaining. She stretched widely, then glanced around, noticing Craven. "You coming?"

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Martin catches Nahl's eye.  "Thirty minutes, and I'll have your payment."  He turns to the rest of them.  "Everyone good?"

[Mat he/him]

“Yes.” Craven answered, to both Andante and Martin.

[Condensation she/her]

"Alright, then let's go!" Andante hopped out and took a deep breath.

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

Queen began being a little more steady on her feet and her nausea faded. "Can we get going?"

[Mat he/him]

Craven nodded, ready to go. No one seemed to be taking the lead, and he figured Martin would, but Craven also just wanted to explore the unfamiliar land. "Let's go!" He began walking in no particular direction, away from the airplane.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Martin leads the way out of the plane and makes a face as soon as he steps out of the shadow.  It's very bright.  Once he blinks a few times, and turns a slow circle to look around and get his bearings, he points east.  "Quick hike that way."

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ayia bounced impatiently, longing to cast her Line. "Fiiiiiine."

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Martin glances around at everyone.  He knows they're probably itching to use their various talents.  "Here's the plan.  We go down there, I'm going to get something from a specific location, then we come back and give that thing to Nahl.  Once she has that, and she's leaving, we need to go back to where we're going now, and you can get there however you want."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Sounds good to me."

[Condensation she/her]

"Would you happen to have a picture of where we're going?"

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

"As long as I don't have to fly again, I'm good."

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Quote

I'ma timeskip the hike - there's not much interesting in middle-of-nowhere-maybe-Idaho.

Martin's footsteps slow as they near the abandoned facility.  It's not big - most of it is underground, and guarded to high heaven.  But there are outbuildings above ground, and most of those are in some form of disrepair.  The wind that rushes between those buildings stirs up dust, and his arm moves on instinct to lift a mask that he isn't wearing.  "Home sweet home," he murmurs.

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

"This looks...welcoming." Queen said hesitantly.

[Condensation she/her]

"Where... are we?" Andante asked. "I thought I'd seen everywhere on Earth."

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

"Once upon a time, this was the west of the United States," Martin tells Andante, weaving between buildings.  "Not sure where exactly we are, but there's not much out here but rocks and dirt.  Don't worry," he adds, turning to glance at Queen.  "There's no one here.  I should know."
