Thunder Plains, Macalania, and a Business Deal (NFB - distance)

Getting through the Thunder Plains was much easier the second time around than it had been the first. Rikku figured this was for a number of reasons:

( reasons and the rest of the Thunder Plains )

( gorgeous Macalania Forest and a chat with O'aka )

Further in, the branches flattened out and curled back against each other. Sweeping up into the sky was a shimmering arc of sparkling light. It peeked up through the treetops and swept down again off in the distance. Jude didn't realize it was a path until Rikku stepped onto it.

"C'mon," she said with an eager smile. "We've got starlight to thrash."



(OOC: establishy, co-written with dude_its_jude, backdated a day or two, not for interaction, and not for broadcast. OOC is love. Rikku & Jude will be back by Thursday afternoon, I'm just behind in updating their adventures. If you want to see more of the sparkling sphere path thing they're gonna be boarding on, it's in the first minute of this video.)

Room 308, Thursday Afternoon

Annnnnnnnd, she was back! Apparently having missed all the fun, if the state of the school was anything to go by.

First order of business: unpacking. No, that was boring and not any fun at all.

First order of business, for real: sorting out gifts for people and handing them out.

And leaving her door wide open in the meantime so that people could drop by and say hello and ask about her trip and hopefully explain why the whole darn school was missing.



(OOC: very open. The Adventures Of Rikku & Jude In Spira has one more post coming that pre-dates this; that'll be up later.)

Ronsos, Snowy Mountains, and an Old, Dead City (NFB - distance, and backdated)

In retrospect, Rikku should probably have warned Jude that 'Ronso' meant 'enormous blue warrior cat-person with a sharpened horn and an attitude problem.'

"You didn't ask," she said later with a shrug. "You guys don't have Ronsos?"

( mount gagazet and the ronso )

( the ruined city )

( campfire and conversation at night )

(OOC: the last of these! As usual: cowritten with dude_its_jude, who rocks the hizzy, NFB, not for interaction, backdated, and OOC is love.)
