The floor is now lava!

[waywardtomato]

Who: Edward and Everyone
When: Mid-morning
Where: The central Plaza
Style: Starting Action, also like prose if you prefer.
Status: Open to all to suffer the perils of avoiding lava.

[There is a small bit of a commotion in the plaza today. It seems a certain gangly 13-year-old has taken to climbing on, over, and around various objects in the Plaza. Tables, chairs, plants even smaller parts of the coral are being as objects to be climbed on as she is working her way from one end of the plaza to the other. She even at one point jumps on the back of one of the residents of the bubble, before jumping to a nearby table. Those checking to see what the crazy girl is up to, will notice a message scrawled on the ground all over the plaza.]

[Following her, as usual, is her small brown corgi, Ein. He seems to be immune to the effects of the floor lava.]

Comments

[Sera had been originally curious of the short, stubby-legged dog, but Ed has clearly won her attention with her furniture acrobatics. Given Sera's actual age, this game looks like fun to play. After regarding the message, she hops onto a chair, kneeling on the seat and peering over its back.]

[waywardtomato]

New player!

[A couple jumps and a short trip of riding on the back of one of the locals and Edward deposits herself on a nearby table. Ed gives Sera a goofy grin.]

Can't be too careful with all this lava!

[techno_shaman]

[Sera giggles shyly. The locals don't seem off-put by the activity, so she seeks higher ground up on the table, knocking a napkin dispenser onto the floor.]

Oh no!

[Farewell napkin box. We barely knew thee.]

[waywardtomato]

It is gone to a better place now. Napkin-Valhalla, where all great dispensers go that perish in battle... with lava.

[Ed laughs. Ed would be scared to involve the locals, but after seeing how passive they tended to be, she thought they would not mind being portable islands to keep her safe from the ravages of the super-heated molten rock.]

[techno_shaman]

[Sera laughs softly, seating herself on the edge of the table and letting her legs dangle over the edge.]

Does your little friend need to be saved from the lava?

[waywardtomato]

[She glances over at the brown corgi who had walked over and was sitting on the ground about 15 feet away from the pair of them.]

Who? Ein? Oh no. The little furry-people are lava-proof. It has something to do with his stubby little legs; Magic they be.

[techno_shaman]

[Ein is a very cute little dog. And resilient, apparently. This is fun, playing pretend-y games without the need of technology. All you really need is your own head.]

That's amazing!

[She points to a random passer-by.]

That poor man, the lava's taking him away!

[waywardtomato]

[Growing up as she did, Ed was well versed in games of pretend.]

Yes! He is quite the pup!

[She shakes her head at the passerby.]

Its a shame really. There are so many good things to float on and he tried swimming. Mistake-mistake!

[techno_shaman]

Maybe he'll find some survivors!

[More players would be a lot of fun right now. That or getting to a new location. She's a little shy to do so, since she's certain something bigger than a napkin holder is going to fall. But Ed wasn't scolded, so...]

Should we move to higher ground?

[waywardtomato]

If there are survivors to be found, the Ein-person will sniff them out, with his sniffer.

[She pauses to look around her, what could they make for? Ah. Another table, then bench, then planter away was a larger outcropping of the coral. Strong, sturdy, and higher then most of the surrounding terrain.]

To higher ground! [She points, before leaping the first jump to the table, with a small skid.]

[techno_shaman]

[Sera's jumping is a bit more careful and planned, spying the planter. It'll support her weight no trouble.]

Hup!

[She leaps onto it, and falls on her face. Fortunately the flowers are unharmed, but she's a little dirty. That doesn't bother her one bit, though. Junkyard residents get dirty all the time.]

[waywardtomato]

Oh. Is the new player okay? At least you did not fall into the lava. That is what is important.

[Ed was also well versed in being in places that were conducive to one getting dirty.]
