Evacy smiled. "Thanks, Andrea's a nice name too." She started to hum softly. It was an ancient folksong her father taught her. It sounded minor, with lots of twists here and there. Evacy didn't want to start singing the lyrics, least others might not appreciate it. 'The scenery really fits the song nicely. Especially like this, with the sun setting and all.' The red glow of the sun spilled over the land, something Evacy hadn't really noticed the day before when they had first emerged from underground.

Andrea flushed slightly at the comment, hoping she wouldn't see as she quietly listened to her hum. She then wondered how she sounded when she sang, her mind drifting as she looked about them and listened to the soft humming coming from Evacy.

((I don't normally make an all-OOC post, but I feel that this is necessary. As you may have noticed, there's an obvious imbalance in the gender here. Which is okay for now, but not everyone that signed up came. If you guys have any male friends that would be interested in this roleplay, I would be grateful if you invited them. I also hope to add more people, I naively assumed everyone that signed up would actually post. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The guy that plays Shougo went on vacation, he's not gonna post any time soon. Thanks for listening.))

((It's not your fault at all, I just need a good balance. I guess I could open the roleplay to more profiles. Should I?))

Noticing that she wasn't regarded beyond being told the name of the body of water she'd described, Lilith shrugged and went back to her sketch book. Flipping through some of the pages, smiling proudly at the drawings, she thought it might be nice since the intensity of the sun wasn't so bad right now to try and get a sketch of the sunset in. Going back to a clean page, she was just starting to draw when a photo she'd done in great detail fell to the ground. Stopping for a moment and struggling to bend down and pick the picture up with knocking over her backpack, Lilith retrieved a picture of her family, something she'd asked them to sit still for about an hour for and she went over it later to fill in all the great detail. She smiled at her family, thinking how much they put up with her rambunctious, her everlasting curiosity. They were so proud and so sad when she left, they knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her, they just wished it was safer. Her entire family feared there was an army waiting to attack them if her people were to leave from underground. So with a heavy heart they said their goodbyes and Lilith promised she'd return as soon as possible. Tucking the picture carefully back into the middle of her sketch pad, she missed the conversation about the mountain, but was now looking for something to draw. Scanning the area, her eyes picked up a creature she hadn't remembered hearing about. Hey everybody, what's that? It was small, probably about the size of her hand and it's "arms" were long wide and flat, no head or legs were visible from where she stood, but it fluttered by absently, with no real destination it seemed as it made it's way from one colored plant to another, flowers she believed. It's not a bird, but it moves sort of like they described in school. Floating...flitting.... Taking out her pad, she sketched it quickly as it left one flower and made it's way to another.

"Ah, isn't that a butter thingy insect that flies? Flyingbutter? Something like that." Evacy said, shrugging. She continued to hum, and looked east, or rather, what she thought was east. 'I wonder how we're going to find our way back... underground. Up here... it's so vast and free.' She didn't really want to go back 'home,' but she felt awkward up here. Evacy turned to look at the 'flying butter,' wondering why it was called that.

Claire noticed the picture falling from the girl's book, and smiled. It was an amazingly well done drawing of a large group of people. Her family, she assumed. She missed her own family very much. She approached the girl, meaning to ask her about them, when she called the attention of the group to a small insect flying near by. "It's not flying butter; it's a butterfly" Claire said softly "And it's a lot prettier than its image in the books..." She came closer, trying to take a better look without scaring it off. "They feed off flowers...and there are many different kinds."

Racking her brained as she finished the sketch, Lilith was about to say "Flying Butter" sounded familiar, but when she heard the other girl say Butterfly, her eyes brightened as she realized that was it's proper name. That's right! Somehow it helps more flowers to grow too! Adding a few more spots of shading, she closed her sketch book again and watched it fly off to another flower in the distance. Thinking to herself about her uncle believing nothing could survive up here, she could wait to get back and show him her picture. Our first encounter with a living creature... That wasn't so bad, right?She bit her lip though as she wondered how or what they'd eat as their rations she didn't think would make it for three months, but she didn't express this for fear of upsetting Kai.

((You guys, hold on a minute... please just wait to post until I find another person to join the roleplay. I'm gonna open for applications again for males only, so we can balance it out. I'm the only male here and that's not realistic as far as this roleplay goes. So I hope you all understand.)) Night set in deeply, and Kai could finally look around without squinting or shielding his eyes. It was relaxing. The moon made the river shine dully. He stopped walking, letting out a long sigh. A butterfly... why is that the only creature we've seen so far? Of course, it eased Kai's worries a little, but he was still deep in thought regarding just how powerful that plague was. Kai sat down near the riverbank. "Everyone take a break. I'll explain our situation in a minute." He rested against the sign he'd been looking for all day- an enormous apple tree that grew right next to the river. "I'm sure you're all hungry," he said with his charming smile. "The red fruits of this tree are apples, as you may know." He reached up and picked one growing close to the ground. Taking a bite, he sat back down and closed his eyes. "They taste very good. Unlike anything I'm sure we've ever eaten before. Everyone eat some. We're going to need our strength, because right now we are very close to that town. I want everyone to be prepared, we never know what we're going to find. We're not going to sleep- we're going to look around in the town. I chose night because I didn't want anyone to know we're there before we do. If there's anyone there at all, I mean."

((I hope no one minds a little bump. If no one signs up all tomorrow I'll just keep going without new people. That way you guys won't have to wait too long.))

There are no such things as coincidence.((Sorry, I'll only post this. I didn't want to forget what I was going to type, and it's most unlikely that I'd be able to post for the rest of today... I hope you don't get mad. sweatdrop ))
Evacy shrugged. She knew she didn't pay attention in class, and it bothered her only a little that she had gotten the creature's name wrong. Regardless, she grinned. So what, she had only mixed the compound word around. When the sun had finally set, Evacy took off her hat and opened her eyes to the lovely darkness. 'I'm abusing my poor eyes... Though I never thought I'd ever miss the darkness of the underground.' She saw people take the apples from the tree, and thought to get one herself. She waited until there wasn't anyone else there, then clumsily climbed the apple tree. It wasn't so different from climbing the rocks from home when she was still in her early teens, and she wondered if the apples near the top tasted better than the ones from the bottom. 'Only one way to find out.' Evacy grabbed two apples from the lower branches, stashed them in her bag, then climbed as high as she could go. It was comforting, being in a high up place, where the breeze made the leaves dance, and the apples sway. She could almost sleep up here, but the thought of falling down and getting hurt, right at the beginning of the adventure, made her think else wise. Instead, Evacy munched on a couple of apples, thinking of the night-time scenery. There is only hitsuzen
