She momentarily wondered what would happen if she tried to sprint across.
Then she decided it was a bad idea.

When she arrived at the orbs, she immediately turned her attention to the one she had yet to claim, reaching out for it.
And that was that! Time to go.

This seemed like a place that she did not want to be.
Simmy wasn't sure why, and investigating the place probably would reveal this fact, were she curious enough to unearth it. And she was, inevitably, her feet crunching the dry-rotted pieces of something unrecognizable with each step. The noisy footfall increased with frequency as she grew a bit bolder, gently touching everything she could get reach, something urging her to press a little harder just to see...
But nothing crumbled beneath her touch. It all seemed much sturdier than it appeared thus far, which might have partially been the reason that she felt it was safe to sit in one of the seats towards the back of a quiet roller coaster.
It was only a moment, or she'd thought it had only been a moment; when she looked up and returned to reality from the depths of her musings, she was in a distinctly different place. Had she really been so unaware that she lost time (and space, it seemed)?
The idea troubled her.

How could she have been so careless? There was no possible scenario that she could fathom where the Goddess would be pleased with her lack of attentiveness. She should be observing, questioning, helping the cause, shouldn't she?
She would prove that she could excel.
She stood at the edge of the swings, watching their slow sway, smiling as crookedly as some of them hung. She could do this. She didn't know how, but climbing was pretty intuitive, right? If she started, she could get there...right?
She rationed out inquiries as she pulled herself up and over it, gathering more rust than answers, a steady progression of deep browns and reds that collected where her thoughts could not.

A gift shop! How nice! Gifts were wonderful things to give one's friends, Simmy thought, beaming at the decrepit structure. There had to be something inside worth giving, maybe to one of the friends who had not told her their names yet, or to Marati who had.
She rubbed her palms on her thighs and cautiously took a step into the building, her smile still steadfast.

Would they like their gifts? And what could she bring for them, anyway? Her smile was beginning to hurt a little, but she kept smiling through it. This would all be worth it to see their smiles, to know that she had helped to make them happy.

After a half-dozen steps more, she decided that their smiles would make this all worth it. All of the danger she'd gone through, and the loss of time, and the worries that she was thinking too much instead of inquiring just enough.
The floor crumbled beneath one step and she froze.
She was doing it again. Thinking too much.
She had to stop this.

As soon as she did stop thinking, her route seemed to clear up, each step on solid ground indicative of the belief that she was doing the right thing. The Goddess could think for her. The Goddess could answer everything.
All she needed to know was how to ask.
