The Logs of The Calling

WHO: Dejah Thoris, her dwarf dragon and YOU!
WHAT: A) Exploring the jungle, searching for a ruin, or B) returning from a hike back at the trading post.
WHEN: ??
WHERE: City of Adventure
NOTES/WARNINGS: Will be added as necessary.

Option A: After so long living on a desert planet, the jungles of this place hold an irresistible lure for Dejah.  So much life.  So much biological complexity.  And the hint of mysteries long undiscovered lurk in the thick underbrush.  She's far better equipped for exploring today.  A machete makes a far better companion than her sword, and she's exchanged her usual sandals for high boots. She's lucky the local mosquitoes are put off by her copper-based blood.  That doesn't stop them from taking the odd taste.  

Above her, a sleek blue shape is wedged in the Y of a tree. Reyjun, her dwarf dragon, follows her progress, snacking on some kind of tropical fruit with leisurely enthusiasm. She pauses in chopping at the underbrush to wipe the sweat out of her eyes and check her coordinates.  She can hear the contented smacking of lips from a nearby tree.

"Are you enjoying yourself up there?"

Reyjun answers with an imperious sound.  "WonnnnK."  That would mean, Yes, yes I am!

She laughs, unfolding her map.  "Good, I'm glad."

Option B: The sun is just setting as she returns to the trading post.  Reyjun has resumed his normal post, draped around her shoulders, wings beating slowly in the heat. The evening breeze cools them both.  She pauses to refill her canteen at the pump, and then heads inside.

WHO: Dejah Thoris & you!
WHAT: Exploring the City of Tomorrow: at St. Vidicon getting a library credential, sneaking into the rare books section; on the Satellite watching the docking ring, inquiring about getting a pilot's license, poking around the reactor room; at the Deli, marvelling at the bagel selection.
WHEN: Day or Night
WHERE: City of Tomorrow
NOTES/WARNINGS: none as yet

As well-versed as Doctor Thoris was in quantum anomalies and the manipulation of the Ninth Ray to achieve a strange kind of bi-location, she'd never quite figured out how to actually be in two places at once. Which meant, standing on the plaza in front of McAran Tower, trying to decide whether to explore the Satellite first or whether to dive into the Library at the Science Academy. Or getting something to eat. Exploring on an empty stomach was never a good plan.

So you might run into her marveling at the selection of things one can put on a bagel.

Or you might discover her exploring the stacks at the Academy library, struggling to carry a large armload of books.

Or you might find her staring wide-eyed with wonder out the viewing ports watching the wide variety of ships arriving and departing from the docking ring on the Satellite. (Or y'know, poking around the reactor room, because dangerous science is the best science of all!)
