((It's getting kinda late at Roisu's house, and thus, she is becoming increadibly morose. Sorry.))
It is nearly four hundred years in the future. Humans have used up most of their natural resources. Space travel has been abandoned, due to the almost nonexistant supplies of fuel. Electrical appliances are sparse, usually only owned by the few wealthy people left. Crime rates are skyrocketing and employment is nearly a myth. The Earth is left in anarchy, run only by groups resembling the Mafia.
A small strain of silver ore has been discovered in Eastern Africa, and the greedy rush off to get their grubby hands on it.

Lava got off the boat, wiping sweat from her face. With the fading levels of O3 in the ozone, the sun continued to bear down hotter and hotter with each progressing day.
She narrowed her eyes, watching young and old mill aimlessly about the port town. They were like ants, with their queen dead. She spared nobody more than a glance as she walked through the town.
She stopped at a nearby Inn. While it was not a good place to meet people, it was not the kind of place you would want to spend the night. At least, not if you wanted to keep your life.
Lava kept here eyes peeled for somebody...anybody... who showed potential.

Isobella walked into a random building while cursing softly to herself.
Today was not a good day for her.
The sun was shining high and bright and the weight of it's rays were burning down on the city. Isobella hated the sun light.
But what she hated even more then the sun light was the Mafia.
Which brings us back to why she had walked into a random building.
The of so infamous Mafia were after Isobella because she was planning on taking a small ammount of people with certain to a sacred city where the land was still crawling with life.
Isobella looked around the building she had walked into and realized it was a local Inn.

Lava took a deep breath in through her nose, the air smelling strongly of sweat and beer. She snorted, attempting to clear her nose of the odor.
She leened back in her chair, watching the door. When the old, metal hinges of the door screeched as it opened, she watched a woman enter. She eyeballed the woman, and then turned away, watching the door again.

As Isobella walked away from the door she felt eyes on her.
But when she turned around and scanned the room she could find no one watching her.
One woman did catch Isobella's eye though. A woman with long hair and piercing eyes who was staring contently at the door.
Isobella shrugged and walked up to the bar to order a drink.
"What will ye have?" The bar tender asked.
"A water."
He snorted, "A wat'r, eh? Haha.. what type o' person comes in 'ere for wat'r?"
Isobella glared at the man.
He gulped nervously, "A wat'r it is then, miss."
Water in hand Isobella looked around the dark room for a place to sit.
She found a empty table in the back where she sat down and sipped her water.

Lava glanced across the room and noticed Isobella drinking tap water.
On a whim, she walked over there, "I wouldn't drink too much of that, if I were you. You do know that here are no water-purifying plants around here, don't you?"
She reached into her bag and pulled out a plastic bottle, "I can't say it's much cleaner, but it should be less likely to poison you."

Isobella smiled up at the girl and took the water.
"Thanks."
Just then the doors to the Inn flew open and a whole bunch of nasty, fat, Mafia type men walked in. They tried to spread out through the crowd so they didn't look funky, but they couldn't fool Isobella.
She stood up, smiled again at the girl, waved the watter bottle, and then said, "I'm afraid I must bid you farewell."
And then she ran through the Inn towards the back doors. A few of the nasty, fat, Mafia men noticed her escaping, but her long slender legs were to quick for their short fat ones.

Lava narrowed her eyes at the Mafia type men who followed the woman out. They looked somewhat familiar, but Lava couldn't quite place where she'd seen them.
She turned back to her table and noticed one of the inn's employees waiting for her. She laughed to herself, "Must be time to pay my tab... like I'm going to actually pay it!"
She turned on her heels and slowly- inconspicuously- walked out the backdoor, inadvertantly following Isobella.

Isobella ran up a near by fire escape and across the roof. She paused and turn around to look and see how close the fat men were. They were still by the Inn's back door.
She laughed to herself, "Why do I even run? I could walk and still get away."
She sat down on the edge of the roof for a second and took a sip of her water.
Oh how she loved water. Though it was sad that most of the water supply on Earth was now tainted thanks to the humans.

Lava, who was speedwalking away from the inn, quickly caught up with the fat mafia men. She was about to walk away when one of them stopped her.
"Hey! Have you seen a lady about this tall with hair this long," he held up a hand to indicate her hight.
"Maybe. A lot of women meet those qualifications," she paused to think, "I did see someone about that tall who looked pretty suspicious. She was back there, I think," she pointed the opposite way from where Isobella went.

Isobella watched as the girl from the Inn pointed the fat men in the opposite direction from where she was.
She laughed quietly to herself.
"I believe I like this girl," she whispered to herself. "I think I shall have to meet her."

Lava reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle of water. She eyed it wearily. Specks of dirt floated in it and it wasn't quite clear. She shrugged and took a big gulp.
Replacing the cap on the bottle and stuffing it back in her bag, Lava looked ahead and noticed the girl from the bar.
Maybe she would like to walk with with me for a while, she thought. It gets so boring sometimes, travelling alone.

Isobella started walking slowly, but after awhile she felt someone near her.
She turned around and saw the girl from the bar less then two yards away.
She smiled and waited for the girl to catch up. Once they were standign side by side Isobella said, "Hello."

Lava noticed the girl had stopped. She quickly caught up and laughed, "I swear I'm not stalking you! And I don't believe we properly met earlier. My name is Lava."
It felt good to laugh. She hadn't had much reason to lately. She hadn't had much reason to ever.

Isobella laughed too.
She loved laughing and smileing.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lava. I'm Isobella."
She held out her hand for Lava to shake.
