(Thanks. :) )

(happy b day kitty xD)

Casey was done in a couple of minutes, tear neatly stitched up tight. The old man looked over it before whistling in admiration. "Thats some mighty delicate stitch work there. Now, where did ya' want me to take you exactly?"

"Up to Fletchirn." "Oh, big city, you got some business there?" The other man asked, beginning to busy himself with setting the sail back up. "Yes actually, theres an event I want to attend."

"Interesting." The man replied, finished hoisting the sail and untying the boat from the dock. "Well we better be goin' then if ya' wanna reach it by mornin'. Ya got everythin' you need here?" "Yes sir!"

The man handed Casey an oar, who used it to push the boat off of the dock, as he did the older one tightened the sail, wind catching it immediately and pulling them out to into the harbor.

Fortunately, as it was night, the harbor was mostly empty, and they didn't have to steer around other boats.

Casey carefully set his glowing crystal on the floorboards, weary of losing it, and pulled out his journal and ink pen to write down the days events.

(Oof, both of my characters travel...I can change it if you want less bumping into in the beginning)

Astra
Astra blinked tired as the meeting came to a close. She nodded glad the whole affair was over. She was about to light leap home for the day and probably spend it fixing one of the weapons when she felt a slight disturbance in the air. No way, a wormhole. She thought excitedly. It had been a while since the last one she traveled through. She excused herself in went in search of the portal.

She found it a while later and without a second thought she fell through the wormhole and ended up dropping in a basement? She frowned not sure where this place was. Well, there were two people here, and she was pretty sure she never met them before. "Hello, who's there?" She asked to Nic and Lish.

Alastor
Alastor was making his way out of the meeting room when he turned into a ghost. Not again.. he thought to himself as he ended up in the realm of the dead. He looked around listening to the whispers, something about a reckless hunter who was still feared even though all of these people were dead. Interesting, they still fear death even when they are already dead... He was about to question one of the spirits of the dead when he was pulled back into his human form.

He blinked looking around at all the technology. Where was he? Usually he would end up somewhere close to where he became a ghost. He looked around, not use to the tall skyscrapers that rivaled the mountains back in Canopus. "What the heck?" He said as he accidentally ran into Harvard

(Happy brihday Kitty)
(Yo Lala, I do have an Astra tipoff in my world that I cna easily replace wih a certain light-attueed girl....)

Nicote finally got up. He needed a break from reading. He...also noticed Lish was no longer on the couch multitasking.

Huh. Odd itd only been a short while....right?

Nicote ventured upstairs and outside, into the very red-tinted world. The effects of the Darkness were still present. And they would be for a long time.

Luh was sitting in a tree. A tree that could possibly break from his weight but was still holding up.

"What are you doing?" Nicote asked him.

"Getting fresh air."

"There is no fresh air iutside."

"Speak for yourself. Its fresher then the basement air."

That was indeed true, but the air outside was sto quite dry and stale compared to a normal world.

"At least now you dont have to wear acovering out." Lish grinned.

"....I suppose so.....I am going back inside however. Where here is none of this dust and staleness." Nicote walked back towards the house.

"Hey, at least come see what I found up here!" Lish c d after him.

Nciote turned. "What?"

"Found some ants."

"....so the wildlife coming back. Great." Nicote shrugged, hough he came over to watch the ants. Because to two guys who'd only seen these little creatures wild years ago, this was amazing.

(by the way, I dropped astra into where Nic and Lish are)

Alastor crossed his arms looking him up and down. "Well you aren't dead yet, or close to death, so I'm guessing I'm not from around here either. Besides it's quite hard to navigate when you randomly turn into a ghost." He said quite seriously.

He looked around. "I've never ended up here before, although I wonder, do you have a safety mechanism for people who fall off of those tall buildings, I mean if you have a war here, all someone would have to do would be to push them off." He commented without emotion or a posh, precise accent.
