041 - [Action/Accidental Voice]

[There's a blond girl climbing up the mountains today. Of course, why she's doing it is hard to say, but she's working quite hard to climb it. She places a foot on a foot hold, and it crumbles beneath the weight. For a moment, she just dangles there, her hand grip the only thing keeping her from falling. Obviously, there is no other foot hold, so instead, she pushes off with her feet, and releases all her holds on the mountain for a moment as she reaches up to grab a ledge higher up and brings her feet up onto sturdier hold.

A rock tumbles down the mountain, almost hitting her only moments after her little leap, and she manages to push herself up against the mountain just enough for it to bounce over her on it's way down. After the clacking of the rock dies down, there's a sigh.]

Well, that was close. Better be just a bit more careful.

[With that said, she begins climbing again.]

[Terra notices her path and she watches the other with equal amounts of curiosity and caution while approaching the ledge. There's a part of her that says this is foolish, that she should flee before she's seen. Skittishness is hard to shake, but...maybe she won't react the way the others did at home?]

[Okay, you've not caught Jenny's attention, and she can certainly say she's never seen anything like this, and that just makes her curious. But for now, she's going to just but on one of her bright smiles.]

Well, hello there.

[That reaction startles Terra a little, but she's grateful that no accidents or heart attacks were caused by her appearance. Maybe the climbing girl's world was stranger than her own? She's still uncertain, though, not approaching any further and looking as though she might fly away at any moment. There's a slight nod, her intense eyes curious.]

...hello.

[Pause.]

I've never seen anyone climb like that.

[Well, Jenny certainly is used to strange things.]

Really? It's good exercise, and kind of fun actually.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

You don't worry about falling?

[She tilts her head.]

Or do you have magic to help you?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[Her answer is obviously the same for both questions.]

But not having magic won't stop me. Sure, I'm taking a risk, but that's half the thrill.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[There's a small smile.]

It still seems pretty brave, to me. I'm not sure I could do it.

[Not that it seems that she needs to in order to reach the top, but....]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, I kind of have a bit of a trick up my sleeve that most others don't, so I have a tendency to take more risks.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

A...trick?

[She looks intrigued and confused. The girl said she had no magic, but Terra isn't sure what else she could mean.]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[That's cause she really doesn't have magic. It's more of an inherited ability.]

Yeah, a trick. It has something to do with my biology.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

Your...are you not human?

[Curiosity, but not tremendous astonishment. She knows there's non-humans around--and obviously is one of them.]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Nope, I just look human. Obviously you're not human either.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

Not completely....

[Pauses.]

I'm an Esper. A being of magic.
