[Another stretch of time, another period of finding nothing new. It's been left to Zayna and her father now, to complete those maps. Which they've been doing diligently, but Zayna has been wondering if they've reached the end of parts of other worlds being pulled in to the sky above their own ruined home.

That is until day 192. And just like before, there's another three each on two different days.

So they return and like before Zayna offers off the sketches of what they've found.]

SO WHO WANTS NAEGI TO JOIN THEM IN THEIR JOURNEY

SHSL talents include hope, deductive reasoning and screaming like a little girl. 8D

[magisperica]

SO, Skyla sure as hell wants an excuse to get to the Skyway after hearing that everything she knows and loves is apparently dead and gone. Chances are, she'll be a bit of a hindrance, too eager to confront monster and getting herself in trouble.

What? She's just coping, okay.

Anyone want a magical girl with an anti-magic field and teleportation?

[freedom_engineer]

Colin's going to recognize his base camp's formation pretty quickly, and he'll just ask for a couple of volunteers to go with him to bring back equipment. He probably won't tolerate sass or people questioning him, this time.

Anyone want to go with him?

[gianthobo]

AZ will go. He and Golurk on hauling duty again. \o/

[scrapperzen]

Yay Grandpa AZ!

[freedom_engineer]

Kat, you are not Colin, go back to that other community I was looking at. :|

[gianthobo]

So AZ will recognize the Pokemon Village. He could use some backup. And a nap in the nap spots.

[daughterofursa]

[The first time people came back with reports of new places appearing on the Skyway, Zuko felt hopeful that they might find more survivors, but by now she's only seen and heard of people finding more proof of their worlds' devastation. She wants to believe the familiar-sounding garden is anything else, but on learning they saw the symbol of the Fire Nation on one of its walls, the only feeling that comes to her is dread.

She almost thinks she could have come alone. Her world didn't have the monsters that others seem to, and there can't be much to salvage from a garden. The only danger is in the journey there. But, even if she scarcely knows one of her companions and isn't sure yet if she can count the other as a friend... maybe it's better not to face this alone.

The walls of the garden come into view, the red roof tiles cracked or missing in places, entire sections of the wall crumbled in others. One gate is still in tact, though it would have led there from other parts of the palace, instead of the emptiness of the Skyway. Of course, the palace itself had been empty enough when she'd been there, thanks to Azula.

Zuko hopes that means there won't be any statues waiting for her here. It's bad enough to see her home here at all, though it doesn't slow her step as she approaches the gate.]

[attheclocktower]

Can Xion come too?

[amnesiadragon]

[Ryu doesn't really know Zuko, but he can't let people go off on their own. Especially since he's had his own emotional moment over some place from home... even if there aren't monsters they're still places that backup is required in. He walks alongside her, looking up at the palace.]

You lived here?

[hellpyre]

[They were getting to know one another, at the very least, but Rin admitted right off the bat that she would understand if Zuko didn't want her there.

She hadn't had the best reaction to finding the church she had grown up in herself...

But at the same time, she knew having her friends there had also made it easier to deal with. It made her glad that Zuko was willing to have them along for that reason.

She was quiet as they approached, keep an ear out for any unusual sounds, though that thought is abandoned as they get to that gate.

It was like those pictures of the Forbidden Palace she had seen in one of Yukio's text books. Though... smaller. And broken.]

Wow...

[bulletofhope]

tentatively volunteers Naegi for joining AZ?

[gianthobo]

Sure~

[gianthobo]

Sounds good. \o/

[daughterofursa]

[The main section of the palace, with its great halls, imposing tower, and the broad plaza where she would have been crowned, are nowhere to be seen. They would have made for a more impressive sight, although the gate here does arch high above them, and the gardens they step into are expansive. Expansive and empty, at least of people. Sharper ears than hers might pick up a faint quack.

Zuko hesitates at Ryu's question. Returning after her three years of banishment, she hadn't come to feel that she belonged yet. Even then she'd felt disconnected from it, and now... Is being here doing anything except dredging up memories?]

I grew up here.

[She stops not far inside to take it in. This is really it then, what's left of her world. The others might be impressed, but it just seems like so... little. Why did this place survive, when so much else hadn't? Why her, and not someone more deserving?]

[ourlegends]

HILDA WANTS TO GO.

/watches as this request gets denied so fast--

[gianthobo]

Yeah no Hilda you're supposed to be in bed.

[ourlegends]

But daaaaaaaaaad D:
