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.

"Yeah, that is weird," he agreed. "Why wouldn't you just get a whole new door?" It didn't make a whole lot of sense to him...and then Lara pointed out the marks in the floor. "Whoa," Sonic breathed. He'd seen marks kinda like this before, but those were all from gigantic machines Robotnik had built. Whatever had made these marks in the floor was huge.
"I can try," he replied, "but if whatever made those-" he pointed to the marks "-is in there-" he pointed to the door "-then I'm thinkin' maybe I shouldn't." Normally he wouldn't back down from this sort of thing, but he had one ring, no emeralds, no idea where he was or what was behind that door, and Lara to protect if things went wrong. Today was not the day to do this. Tomorrow, maybe.

Lara nodded, half to herself as she ran her hands over the floor again. "I'm afraid I haven't nearly enough ammunition for whatever might be lurking beyond that door, Sonic," she said at last, reluctantly. "Which is a pity, as I've begun to find this place entirely too interesting." She made a mental note of everything she had seen today; she might not be able to see everything in here today (and waiting, as Lara was somewhat fond of saying, was for the patient), but she would definitely come back here later, even if she had to come alone.
She was used to flying solo, as it were - but she didn't want to be inconsiderate of her new friend. "Perhaps we can come back later. There's definitely something here that's worth a look, and it may hold some of the answers as to why we are here - among other things."
