this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

I don't need them all to be casinos, but I would like them to not be post apocalyptic bullshit.

[she pauses for a moment, watching the young woman kneel down]

You sure touching that is a good plan?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Now that she's done so? No. But Haruka won't admit as much, taking out a handkerchief - she's a classy lady, okay - and wiping off her fingertips. ] I wonder if they even have supplies we'd need.

[robitussin]

Supplies we'd need for what, exactly?

[but either way-]

Guess there's only one way to find out... If we don't die of pollution poisoning or whatever.

[actsmagnificent]

[ With a chuckle, Haruka gestures towards the nearest town. This is the first time she's actually looked her fellow, ah, adventurer's way, and when their eyes meet, she definitely smiles.

Normally it'd be hard to tell that in the gas mask, but the air does have a tendency to sparkle when Haruka grins. ] After you.

[robitussin]

[she manages to notice that sparkling, but she's seen worse, so she ignores it after a moment. with a sigh, she adjusts her mask (the most nondescript one she could find) and starts heading that way]

What do you bet we'll find there?

[actsmagnificent]

Keeping an open mind might be better. [ In order to not be disappointed by actually having expectations.

Though, honestly....she can't be any more discouraged than she already is. ]

[robitussin]

An open mind, or assuming that we won't find anything useful. Your call.

[avoiding disappointment via constant pessimism: the natalie goodman life]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka has a feeling she is going to get along with this young lady.

The mask stifles another laugh. ] The people were friendly.

[robitussin]

[a short laugh]

That's going to be really comforting when we get to that area and find out that everything is horrible, right?

[actsmagnificent]

You've got an interesting perspective.

[ And, from the slightly sardonic lilt to her voice, she doesn't disagree. ]

[robitussin]

I like to call it the "I'm probably right" perspective.

[she continues walking, but looks over at the other young woman]

Don't think I got your name.

[actsmagnificent]

Haruka Tenoh. [ She arches an eyebrow. ] You?

[robitussin]

You can call me Opal. I just figured we should at least swap names if we're going to wander through a wasteland together or whatever.

[actsmagnificent]

[ A chuckle. Opal, huh. ] I should have known you were a jewel.

[robitussin]

What's that supposed to mean?

[actsmagnificent]

You shine in any landscape.

[ And Haruka has a bit of a bad habit. Perhaps. ]

[robitussin]

That is the worst pickup line I've ever heard.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka just laughs and starts walking. Fine, fine. She'll stop.

Let's explore a whole lot of nothing! ]
