_____Echo’s right hand nervously scratched at the back of her head. Her short blue hair rustling from moth the motion of her hand and the wind as it crossed the area. Her ears ringing as a repetitive beeping played to signal her low amount of focus. ’Now I know what most you are thinking. Echo why did you go and burn so much focus when there was nothing attack ya? Well maybe if the game had provided instructions on how to not cast magic at random it would not have happen maybe?’ A weak smile crossed her lips as she chuckled lightly and noticed the rising pillar of smoke from her location. _____In every direction of the blue haired noob was the result of unpredicted magic blast. Countless trees around her had smoldering holes that ranged in size, some even cut down by the beam of arcane energy the girl still had no idea on how to fully control. Her fingers smoking slightly from being her cast point as she waved the hand to try and cool it down before resting her other hand and looking around with a silly smile. Right hand palling into a fist as she lightly tapped the side of her skull and stuck her tongue out. "Ok… Story goes like so… It was this destroyed when I got here…” _____Echo’s voice held no worry or concern, it almost could be said it was childish and carefree. However as she was finishing her sentence she heard a loud crash behind her and spun on her heel pointing her hand like a gun and tilting it upward to send a beam of arcane energy out in the direction of the sound. Her focus gauge beeping louder in response as the girl looked to see another tree had fallen, unable to withstand the top weight with such a slim part of the truck. Her voice breaking into a small laugh as she scratched her head some more.
Dempsey smelled smoke and heard the sounds of destruction from off in the distance. curiosity and the prospect of looting corpses drew her closer, though she was carefully hidden in the dense undergrowth. she was virtually crawling as she slowly moved toward the sound of the disturbance. Another particularly loud explosion caused her to flinch and second guess whether or not she should actually be here. 'too late now' she whispered to herself. She pressed forward, anxious to see what all the fuss was about when a familiar voice rose in the distance. It was that one girl the mine they explored the other day. In that case, she might need help, so she continued forward at a faster pace, careful not to get too close until she knew exactly what was going on. for all she knew, that lunatic was just blowing up things for laughs, and she didn't like being blown up for laughs. moments later she was close enough to the scene to observe. There were burnt and smashed trees everywhere, and of course, there was Echo, talking to herself and firing off more spells. She sat and watched, ready to blink out of harms way should Echo decide to fire something in her direction. She saw no harm in letting the less than stable woman work herself tired before approaching.
_____Echo was more than stable, she just did not fully know how to stop her magic from randomly casting based on her hand gestures was all. Thankfully without enough focus for another blast of her magic currently it seemed to stop. Rolling her shoulders and looking at her other needs meters with a slight smile, it was eatin time. Frame stretched as she looked around for a few moments and listened to a small stream to her east side and started walking. Where there was water, she hoped there was fish. _____She was no hunter like some of her younger siblings but she had to listen to them brage enough that she felt had gathered a decent knowledge of what she would need to do to get some prey to cook. When it came to cooking however, well that was not something Echo was going to do well with in her mind. If this game was so much like real life she was likely going to burn the fish to a crisp like many things she has in the past. "But therein is the adventure, sometimes even failing like always is good for you. Plus I done never burnt something in the game yet so failing in new ways.~" _____Over optimistic and cheerful, Echo never tried to do anything else as she strode her way across some fallen trees and approached the stream looking at the water’s surface carefully for some movement. Sure enough, and lucky for Echo the surface broke and fish hopped around before falling back into the water. Rolling up her sleeves and getting her spear from her inventory the girl took aim and calmed herself, it was fishing time. @Dempsey Fabijain
Dempsey was still concealed in the undergrowth when the woman she'd been observing finally gave up on laying waste to the forest, and began walking toward the stream. Dempsey was torn, as this was an excellent opportunity to further hone her skills, but at the same time she didn't want to cause a misunderstanding and make an enemy of the other girl. Maybe she would laugh it off, or at least understand Dempsy's motives, but it was a risk she deemed not worth taking. As Echo approached the stream, Dempsey backtracked a fair distance and approached the scene with a casual stroll, no longer attempting to conceal her presence, and instead she intended to act as if she'd just arrived on the scene and was simply a curious passer-by. She waved and shouted as soon as Echo was in sight, hoping not to startle the girl too much. With a final look around at their surroundings to confirm that it was just the two of them, she put on her best friendly smile and closed the distance between the two until she was standing a few feet from the river bank, smiling and waving. "I heard some commotion and wanted to see what was what. Thought maybe someone was in trouble. You the one that blew up all those trees?"
