1st Wrench: A Fateful Trip [Action/Video]
Action, the Verdant Forest:
[Okay, so she'd taken a wrong turn on one of the paths. She had to have, because she should totally be back in Union by now! All she'd intended to do was poke her head out into the forest to get some basic reconnaissance and some preliminary training of Gato done. But without a map it was a bit easy to get lost in that sea of green. Especially for someone who'd never really been outside of Caldera before. Smart and competent she might be, but Lucca most definitely new to the whole exploring on her own.
That said, she's not exactly panicking if anyone happens to come across her. She seems perfectly calm, perfectly rational. And that's probably because she has yet to actually notice that she's gotten lost! She's casually inspecting just about everything. Rocks, trees, streams, berries, basically just anything she comes across. On her back is a small pack that seems to be bulging, and the little Golett running along behind her is similarly weighed down by a backpack of his own. Periodically, she pulls out a notepad and scribbles something, too.
But in the midst of this scientific rampage, something Weedle this way comes. Lucca's search has attracted the attention of a local, an annoyed little creature who's just popped out from a rotted log she'd disturbed with a kick...and the instant she catches sight of it, Lucca lets out a piercing shriek.]
Ahhhhh!
[Apparently the intrepid scientist...has a fear of Bugs!]
((ooc: Tag before the Weedle if you like too!))
Video, Nightfall
[A video comes through the Warp Band, and it's a young woman, clearly. She's dressed...oddly. Almost haphazardly. A scarf around her neck, a tunic visible in the video, and a helmet. With an actual antenna sticking up from the right side. She adjusts her glasses before speaking, and opens with a long sigh.]
Right, so. My name's Lucca Ashtear. Recently of Caldera, and I've set up shop here in Union for the time being. Gotta say, these warp band things are pretty incredible An Aligning tool, communication device, and a homing beacon all at once? Ingenious. I couldn't have designed them better myself. At least...not and kept them this small.
[A pause as she removes her glasses and wipes away some fog.]
Couple of questions for you. First, because I'm new in town, where's a good place to pick up spare parts? Wires, copper, steel, that kinda stuff. Also are there any glassmakers around. Definitely going to need that. I have trouble making that myself.
Second, a more...heh...normal question. Is it just me or is it chilly around here? I don't know how you guys stand it in the lowlands. When does the weather usually shift? Or is this what passes for spring?
And one last thing. The Old City. I'm planning on going down there to nose around soon, but a guide or escort would be nice. More a safety precaution than anything. I'd pay, of course.
And...yeah, I guess that's about it.
[And off goes the feed.]

[She is not a warrior, but she is very capable of violence and aggression.]
I want to wipe them out. Make them pay.

...maybe we just hack a limb off of each instead... [Good compromise.]

And make sure they never forget it.

[His smile fades, though.] There...there were a lot of them that lost a family member or two during the conflict. And many of them were just so grateful to even get some basic food....

[Lucca looks away, reaching her hand down to her gun. Vividly, she remembers the first time she'd pulled that trigger. She wasn't a warrior. She'd never be one. But in war, that didn't matter. You fought, or you died.
You killed your enemy, or you died.]
Some good. Some bad. And it was all wrong.
