Flying Over the Great Divide (OPEN)

Loki

Loki had taken a bit of a trip. She was flying over the Great Divide as just a site seeing vacation. She'd heard of the barren beauty of the incredibly wide canyon, and she had come to see for herself. It was pretty, rocks and all, but Loki wasn't as impressed as she'd hoped. She alighted on a hoodoo that was pretty high in the air and took a look at everything around her. It was fun for a while, but she got bored pretty quickly. "Oi! Anyone out there!?" Her voice didn't echo at all, the canyon was so wide. The dry air made Loki need a drink out of a waterskin she'd taken from a traveler she'd passed earlier.

Talkato was excited as ever. He was on a trip at the Great Divide! He got really tired after hiking about 5 miles. He thought he would set up camp here, with that Talkato quickly unpacked his tent and food. When he was finished he sat and admired the beauty of the canyon, just take it in. Just then Talkato heard a faint noise. He yelled,
"Hello! Is anyone there!?"

Loki

And while Loki's voice had not echoed, the voice of a stranger seemed to echo quite a bit. He must be inside the canyon, the many walls and rocks would throw the voice around. Loki shouted back, "Hey! How's it going!?" Loki started flying with her sail in the direction she suspected the voice had come from. With her bird's-view, she soon found a man camped out. She saw his food and said, "You got a death wish or somethin'?" She, of course, was talking about the canyon crawlers which were known to be attracted to food and attack anyone that had it. They'd probably be scurrying over here now.

Mood: Concerned Condition: Fine

"Hey there!" Talkato heard the words Canyon Crawlers and he laughed. "I may be old but I'm as stubborn as a mule, if they want a piece of me they'll have to fight for it!" Talkota wasn't sure about this, but it was his vacation. He just wanted to relax, no more walking, running, or anything else. He assure himself that he would be fine, It was his vacation after all. After that sentence something huge entered his camp, Talkota screamed, "Help me Stranger!"

Loki

The old man had seemed strong and capable of fighting the crawlers, which impressed Loki, but as soon as one appeared he cried out for help. Loki's face became disappointed and she said, "Alright, you're gonna put your arm over my shoulder like this, grab these two corners of the sail and hold tight." If he didn't hold tight, they'd fall and die, so Loki hoped the old man had a good grip. Loki took off before he had time to question or protest. The wind filled the sail until they gathered enough lift to offset their weight. She looked at the man and said, "So uhh...what's your name?"

Mood: Disappointed Condition: Fine

"My name's Talkato, thank you for saving my life. I believe I only dealt with a baby Crawler." Talkato was nervous, what was this stranger doing out in the desert? Sure she save his life, but could she be up to no good? Was she on a vacation like him? So many questions and none of them answered. He would come up with someway to confront the stranger. "So who are you, and why are you here?"

Loki

Loki decided there was no point in lying and said, "Name's Loki. I get bored easy, so I just came here to look at stuff. Sort of bores me already." Loki looked at the beautiful view below them and blinked slowly. She gave a little laugh and said, "You want a ride home? Where do you live?" she grinned as she decided to give a little lie, just for fun, "That's my job you know, I give people rides across the sky, and they pay me to do it." Loki actually thieved all the stuff she needed, but this man currently didn't have anything she wanted. The lie sounded pretty fun though, maybe she could do that in the future.

Mood: Grinny Condition: Fine

Loki

Loki gave a little grin and said, "Oh hey! I grew up there. What are the chances of that?" She had the wind veer them to the left so they could be heading east instead of south like they had. She had the wind pick up a bit too, to get them there quicker. She thought about the earlier comment and finally replied with, "I've always been a bit impatient. It's kind of sad really, I used to find so much joy in flying but now it bores me to tears," She made a mock crying face and then smiled. Hopefully the man would keep this ride interesting for her.

Mood: Grinny Condition: Fine

Loki

Loki looked at the canyon again, trying to give it a chance like the man said. It was pretty, but no more pretty than when she'd first looked at it. She guessed she'd need age to appreciate such a natural feat, but for now Loki would get the fun of staring at until they were past it. They flew in silence for a short while and Loki tried at good ol' small talk. "So uhh...what do you do?" she asked with a bit of boredom in her voice. Maybe the man was some kind of assassin with a bunch of interesting stories. Or maybe he was a miner. Loki expected some kind of nobility based on the clothing though. Still boring.

Mood: Settled Condition: Fine

Loki

Loki was pleasantly surprised by this man's great position. She wondered how much money he had, but she quickly realized he probably wouldn't have any sort of riches on him, so she continued to look down at the canyon. They were just now passing it. "That's cool. Are you from there originally?" Loki wondered if the man had already forgot her story that she gives people rides around the world for money. "Well I give people rides around the world for money." She was going to just give the man a ride back to Ba Sing Se since she was going there anyway, but maybe this alibi would be a way to get cash out of the situation.

Mood: Settled Condition: Fine

Loki

Loki raised an eyebrow and said, "Well I have to go all over the world. I bought this when I was up there one time. Much too cold for me though, I don't think I'd ever go again." She gave a smirk and looked at the semi-arid land beneath them. The canyon had been replaced by a clearing of sparse shrubbery and cacti and in the distance was a large body of water. Loki knew that the serpents pass would go over it, but they would be flying right past it.
