Adventure 4- Winter Forest
[After her last post, Shirahoshi spent a few nights at Spock's house while Spock stayed with Lupin. She could tell the arrangement made Spock uncomfortable, though, and so she talked herself into being brave and found herself an apartment of her own. She's been enjoying the view from the eighth floor of Community Housing 3 ever since, though sometimes she has to remind herself that she can leave whenever she wants.
Today is one of those days.
Everything seemed to be back to normal- by Luceti standards, at any rate- and Shirahoshi wanted to explore a little. So she bundles herself up, inflates a new bubble from her coral, and floats down to the ground floor. The trees above make a kind of tinkling noise, covered as they are in icicles and snow. It draws her in, and she floats quietly through the forest, gaping in awe. It's unlike anything she's ever dreamed of. There are a few critters still skittering about in the snow, and whenever she hears or catches them out of the corner of her eye it makes her heart nearly stop. But after a few minutes she's grinning, because this is adventure and she can't seem to get enough of it.
Until sometime in the afternoon, when the shadows have begun to stretch in winter's pale sunlight. Her stomach growls, and she realizes with a start that she's very cold, very hungry, and very, distinctly, lost.]
[The video starts with a sniffle. She's not crying, for once. She's just been out in the cold for awhile.]
Um... D- does anyone know the woods really well? I think I'm lost...

Marco-sama found some bubbly coral for me. It's how we move around on land.
[Shirahoshi spins so he can get a good look at the bubble. Though there isn't really much to see, unless Draco digs pretty mermaids.]
[action]
That's coral? It looks like a giant bubble to me. [If it works, though, it works.] You won't dry out on land?
[action]
Maybe if I never get in water at all for a long time. But we have an island under the ocean where we live, so it isn't much different from here... Other than the trees. And the animals. And the sun...
[She pulls out the coral from... wherever it is she stashed it, and holds it on her palms for him to see.]
This is the coral. When I push the button, it makes bubbles like this one. There's a lot of it where I'm from, but I guess this is the only one that's ever shown up here in Luceti.
[action]
I thought they were supposed to be rocks... [That's about as strange as the bubble!] An island under the ocean is still under the water, however, so isn't it different in that? There'd be no air!
