Her breathing remained normal even with the sprint she just went through. Small bursts of expending energy was something she did frequently and with enough to spend inside her body, feeling tired or being out of breaths didn't happen all that much. As Stone languidly walked towards nowhere with
Cradle in tow, a deep rumble underground made the surface quake.
She looked down and took a deep gulp of air. Nothing smelled bad, so it wasn't a particularly strong fart - thinking on it carefully,
how and why would a fart cause such rumbling? - and she looked upward instead.
The flying nebula that weren't fond of her all but vanished. This made her examine the area closer, her eyes would pick up any slight change if she willed it to. A four-legged something walked by in the periphery of her vision.
Maybe a nebula animal of sorts... She took a few steps in its direction when all came crashing down. Pillars fell and Stone gradually lost ground she'd be able to keep herself remain upright. Instinct overtook her and all her tattoos glowed.
Her hooded jacket emitted light on its openings like mild spotlights and the cloth itself took on an orange glow. Stone's feet left the ground, her gravitating toward the
Cradle.
With a roar, a magnificent and ambiguously appetizing yet frightening beast emerged from the chaos that made her flee. Going back to where she came from seemed viable but then, her intentions of traveling to this place was that so she could have something to call
home and that she'd maybe acquire a job. With her eating habits and carelessness, she needed people with her and sustenance, preferably earned by herself - or even better, given for free.
Absurd thoughts raced in her mind as the colossal monster rose and rose. Stone on direct contact with
Cradle appeared like a girl holding on a glow splattered pillar for dear life.
"What the..."Little by little, Stone and
Cradle levitated away from destruction and death. She could try and bite the beast - finally eating something and gaining energy - but she doubted she'd survive it lashing out at her. Leaving was a most appropriate choice to but then, she'd ran out of things she'd spend her time on. Eating at establishments with so little finances left and an ever lingering presence of hunger that only intensified through time was an even worse predicament than being in this monstrosity's presence.
"Ah! Yes! I'll just go there."Stone started but stopped proceeding to the four-legged thing she spied earlier and listened. Intently.
Turn it put... on? Something electricity? What?The words hadn't registered in her head, what with the noise and sheer rampaging of the beast. She moved in line with her decision - to the odd four-legged thing. And there she went head and left.
