Entry tags:
[Day 160] (Closed, then Open.) An arrival with a familiar face.
Who: Ryu and Ryu, then anyone in the Bastion.
Open: Closed for the first part, open for the second.
When: Day 160, mid-morning/afternoon.
Where: On the Skyway and later in the Bastion proper.
What: A new arrival with a few questions.
Format: I'll match!
Warnings: Nothing I can think of, but will change as needed!
The sensations hit him all at once, startling Ryu awake. It was much colder now, there was no hot sand swirling around. As he rises to his feet, the sight that greets him is completely unexpected. No fragments left of Myria station, or any trace of the Desert. Where could he be? About the only thing he found himself recognizing were the tattered remains of his tent. It looked as though it had been scorched beyond repair, and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Nina? Rei? Momo?" As much as he hopes to hear any of them call back, nothing comes. Okay, now he's far more worried. His friends wouldn't just go off and leave him like this. He knew Myria said things might happen if she were no longer able to hold back the Desert of Death, but this isn't anything like Ryu expected. After a moment, it hits him that he's no longer on solid ground, but floating somewhere high in the air. "What's holding all this up?" His question is to no one in particular. Myria Station did have structures like this, but even some of them were still attached somewhere.
Farther off he could make out the shape of a building or two. Wherever they were, it looks far more stable than anything else he's seen so far. Ryu figures it his best interest to go towards it. It might be safer, and there might be someone or something that can tell him what's going on, or how to get home. If only he could prepare himself for what those answers are.
At any rate, it wouldn't help him to linger on these thoughts when he should be learning about the Bastion and the people on it. There would be time for mourning his lost friends when he's found a place for himself among these people.

Upon arriving at the Bastion, it was a lot for him to take in. Everything gone, and he had no idea as to what exactly caused this Calamity. Myria's greatest fear was always that of the Brood's unstoppable power. Elder Jono and the others in Dragnier did say if they did try to fight, the world would be destroyed. Though from what this other Ryu has told him, nobody really knows how the Calamity happened. Part of him is afraid that wielding the power of Infinity might have had something to do with it, but for as powerful as it was, he doubted even Infinity would have such far reaching consequences.
At any rate, it wouldn't help him to linger on these thoughts when he should be learning about the Bastion and the people on it. There would be time for mourning his lost friends when he's found a place for himself among these people.
