Into the Great Unknown [Complete]
Character(s): Lara Croft, Sonic the Hedgehog, Nobodies
Content: Lara goes in search of clues. Larxene, however, has other ideas...
Setting: Elysian Fields, St. Destino
Time: Late afternoon
Warnings: Violence, possible swearing
It would figure, of course, that Lara Croft would explore before finding a place to stay. She had wandered around the Muspelheim gate, and had noticed that everyone she had seen so far looked about the same - pale, with blond hair and blue eyes. Somehow, she had thought, it didn't seem natural. But what else could it be? Lost in thought, Lara decided to check the journal the guards had given her at the gates - she could have sworn one of them had said something about a map.
Sure enough, a few moments of poking around with the device and it was there - and the city looked quite large. Lara frowned, then noted the train that ran between four gates. Zooming out on the map, Lara quickly found the opposite gate of Muspelheim - Nifleheim, since Muspelheim hadn't really had much to offer - and decided to take the train. Once at the station, she was surprised to see that many people simply picked glittering leaves and the like off the ground to pay with. When in Rome, Lara thought amusedly, imitating them. Her tanned skin and dark eyes and hair got strange looks from the citizens, causing the Englishwoman to frown in slight confusion. That's odd; it's almost as if they've never seen anyone different. Still, she filed it away for later; she had a purpose of sorts right now.
A long-seeming train ride later, and Lara was at the Nifleheim gate. She strode quickly to the person that seemed to be watching the gate, pocketing the journal she had been toying with on the way. "Excuse me, please," she said politely, "I need to get through that gate." Immediately, the guard - a stocky looking man - looked at her as though she had suggested that the ground had just turned into sky and the air was made up of feathers. "You can't leave," the guard said shortly, looking at Lara suspiciously. "Perhaps I wasn't clear," Lara said, tone hardened slightly, "I believe I told you to move." She steeled herself for a possible fight, anger in her eyes, and the man stepped back. "Thank you," Lara chuckled, moving past the guard. He looked as though he might try to stop her for a moment, but a heated glare from Lara, and she was able to pass by without being bothered again - a good thing, since she really wasn't in the mood for violence at the moment.
Immediately outside the domed city, she heard static coming from her pocket, and took out the journal, looking at it quizzically. "Malfunctioning," Lara muttered, still walking, "that's strange."
For a few moments, she didn't even notice the almost luminous fields in front of her.

Thinking nothing more of it, he opened the door of the church, peering into the midafternoon gloom, then looking back to Lara with a mischievous grin. "C'mon, let's go!"

Lara checked her guns again (habit, naturally; there were many ways to die and Lara didn't want her own to be brought about by a malfunctioning weapon) and grinned again. "Absolutely, Sonic."
It already looked like she was finding the adventure she had always been driven to seek, yet again.
