Character(s): Natalia and YOU!
Content: Arriving-- only to find ruins.
Setting: Ruins of Paixao, near the Muspelheim gate.
Time: Late morning, Week 42.
Warnings: Uh, bossybritches? None, really.

Natalia touched her hand to her lips as she carefully picked her way through the rubble. The gates themselves had looked impressive enough, but... this was what they were supposedly guarding? Something had obviously happened here, and she had the feeling that it had been fairly recent. Were people hurt? Did they need help? As perplexing as she had found her sudden arrival, looking upon the ruined city made her feel that maybe, just maybe, she had been brought here for a very good reason. If she could help, then her annoyance at being brought to this unfamiliar place might have been assuaged, at least a bit.

She gingerly stepped over what appeared to be a fallen lamppost of some kind, tilting her head at the nearest building. Had that been a cafe at one time? Whatever it was, it had certainly seen better days. What, exactly, had caused all of this?

Natalia had continued to make her way through the ruins, stopping every now and then to examine some of the damaged architecture, curious about what this place must have been like before it had been struck by whatever misfortune had been visited upon it. She was so absorbed in taking in the sights -- the city still quite impressive even in its current state -- that she almost didn't notice that there was someone else standing nearby.

"Oh!"

She startled slightly, but quickly felt relief at having run across someone else in this place. This was a great opportunity; perhaps they could offer her some answers, or even some vague direction.

"Hello! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. How rude of me!"
