[Naomi Mikano was not one to be afraid of things that went bump in the night. Even if the sixteen-year-old was considered by most to be a scardey cat, choosing to cling to her big brothers' or anyone else's' arm when the lights went out, she was not afraid of what was in the darkness...
At least that's what she was telling herself as she walked through a colorless cityscape, using the flashlight of her iPhone to see a bit better. The steady mantra of 'I'm not scared', while whispered, echoed in the still air.
She didn't like that. She also didn't like that she was sleepy.
She didn't like how similar this felt to the Mirror World.]
If this is some stupid Markel-related thing I'm gonna be so ticked.
[Her muttering is punctuated by her cheeks puffing out in a chipmunk-like fashion. Of course, she knew this place wasn't the Mirror World and couldn't have anything to do with Markel because he was gone.
It was during her musings and pouting that her flashlight caught a glimpse of a cloakroach... Or well, several of them.
The silence of the city was quickly broken by a scream as Naomi turned tail and began running, nearly dropping her phone in the process. Was the swam following? She wasn't going to look back and find out. She was doing everything in her power not to trip over her own feet as frightened tears began forming in the corner of her eyes.]
Pretty Fly for a... Fire Guy
[Now this was more her speed. Naomi had found her way to the lush fields with wide, gleeful eyes. She'd even let out an excited yell as she began running through the grass, cartwheeling a few times, and spreading her arms to either side. The color changing fireflies was just an added bonus.
After running around excitedly she'd come to take a seat cross-legged in the grass. She had learned the hard way not to startle or upset the fireflies, her left hand now sporting a few burn marks. Now though she sat quietly, her knitted gloves lying on the ground beside her, hands outstretched.
She smiled as a few of the fireflies landed on her hand. The glow the bugs gave off almost made her forget about the teal gems seemingly embedded in the back of her hands. At least for a little while.
Flower You Doing That?
This. Is. So. Stupid!
[The frustrated shout echoed in the air as Naomi made her way through the high grass of the hillock, using a stick she had picked up earlier to whack away some of the foliage and lean against. Her sandals dangled from her left hand, one of the straps having snapped earlier in her hike. As a result, her poor feet were scratched to hell and back, though she was doing her best to ignore the sting from each step.
She was, of course, incredibly lost.
Blowing her bangs from her face Naomi paused, setting her sandals down so that she could fix her messy bun. She was mid hair fixing when she saw something move, but shrugged it off, assuming it to be an animal. As she bent down to pick up her sandals a spindlank rose.
There was a second where all she could do was stare at the leafy monster stared back down at her. Then she screamed, dropping her sandals and scrambling back with her stick. The spidlank followed and it didn't take the monster long to get itself directly overhead. Naomi could only hold her breath, bracing herself as she flung her hands up as the thing dropped down.
And then there was a 'thud', the monster hitting a teal crystal-like forcefield that encompassed Naomi. She cracked an eye open - having shut them tight - to see this and let out a slow breath. The next few seconds were tense, the spindlank seeming confused.
Then its vines began to wraps around the small forcefield, squeezing it. Naomi, in turn, winced, focusing with all her might as the gems on the back of her hands glowed softly. This wasn't going to last long. She could already see cracks forming.
And so. For the third time in the last ten minutes she screamed.]
