It hadn't been Maya's day, that was for sure. Waking up in what looked like a dried-up wasteland was, well, normal for her. Not waking up with her team at her side, however, was not.

Nor was discovering that the world had been torn apart, that there were only patches left! And the only remotely stable place might as well be on another continent, with the constant shifting of this sorry excuse of 'ground'!

Traversing this all had been a much needed distraction, though. It had forced her to move ever forward, to put her worries about Alfred, Todd, even Shady, not to mention Virginia and some others on the back of her mind.

And it had left her angry, really angry. Her only wish: To have a very stern talk with whoever was responsible for this, all of it. And then shoot them in the face!


After quite an odyssey, she had finally arrived at what was apparently called the Bastion. It didn't even look like anything from her world, and the crazy rambling of the only person she had met so far (the poor NPC mentioned in the FAQ) hadn't helped at all. At least he had given her an amulet with a pretty gem embedded into it, that alleviated her mood somewhat. What she had spotted shortly afterwards, though... that was different and immediately distracted her from everything else, including the toll the travel had taken on her.

The monument. Or, rather, the fact that a part of it resembled a large, pretty gem. Pretty much a mystical mega-sized gem, practically asking for her to take embrace it!

And thus, she started circling the monument. Could it be transported? What about the people that no doubt lived in this blasted place? Maybe a distraction would be needed...

[Your character can spot her walking around the monument, poking it, trying to climb it, trying to take a sample, in other words being totally suspicious and/or nuts.

Alternatively, she might spot your character, in which case she'd shout a "Hey, you! Yes, you! Get over here!" and point at them - Maya is anything but shy when it comes to requesting information on gems and gem-like objects!

And she'll likely continue to do all of this even after the first person tries to tell her off. She can be pretty persistent!]

[Ibuki will happen by while Maya is trying to climb the thing...]

Is monument climbing a sport around here!?

[It had been what Raile would call a fairly normal day that day, or as normal as life got on their little floating rock in the sky; at least, that is, until he saw something distinctly strange.

A woman he'd never seen before was circling the monument with the same look in her eyes that a wild beast might cast on its prey and that was enough to make him worry, even if only a little. The last thing he or anyone else here needed was for someone to go tinkering with the heart of the Bastion and send the lot of them hurtling towards the ground.

So, with that in mind, the small Cael would approach, his eyebrow raised and his hammer slung lazily across his shoulders.]

Y'need help or somethin'?

[A stranger poking around the monument like that definitely warrants some concern. Zuko isn't sure if this girl has any idea what she's tampering with or not, but she doesn't like it.]

What are you doing?
