[i]Dojoville, near The Gate[/i]
Ginger coughed, stunned momentarily by the blinding light that shone through his helmet’s visor. [i]The Insurmountable Skullfort[/i], flawless under pressure, had saved his head from cracking open against the hard rock that he’d landed upon. His chestplate, standard-issue DURGA-GNT Type-0, hadn’t been as fortunate. The spinmetal had been scratched up on impact, and the once bright orange armor was stained vermilion with Martian dust, and some amount of blood. Squinting his eyes as he stood up, Ginger wasn’t quite sure if it was his or not.
One moment, he’d been sitting with Aries at the Ramen Shop, making fun of their past antics. The next moment, he’d been swept away by... something. When he awoke on Mars, he had to fight for three days straight against a relentless Cabal onslaught, before... this. Wherever [i]this[/i] was. There was no Traveler looming above the skyline... come to think of it, there was no City either. Ginger dusted off his armor, sending red sand flying everywhere, before he pulled out his Thesan-FR4 fusion rifle, and resolutely set it, unwittingly, towards the Dojo.

“[b]Well, it’s nice t’meet you Phoebe,[/b]” Ginger said with a confident grin. “[b]My Ghost never gave me a name, so I just went with the first word that I thought of. Ginger has a nice ring to it though.[/b]” He looked past her face at the Dark-Drinker and whistled, “[b]Whoa, that’s a nice blade you’ve got there. Is that a hadium-flake sword?[/b]”
-
"Yes. It is. One of the only two in exsitance," she replied.
-
“[b]Well damn, that’s impressive.[/b]” Ginger looked around at his surroundings, eyebrows raised in curiosity. “[b]So, the Tower you came from... what was it like? I’m starting to think that I’m in the wrong timeline... cause I don’t remember seeing any gear like yours floating around the Cosmodrome.[/b]”
-
"Depends, did the Cabal attack the City?" She asked.
-
“[b]Cabal? No, never. A Dark Guardian with some Hive attacked us though...[/b]” [spoiler]He’s from another RP timeline, in which someone’s character almost took out the Tower and everyone in it. [/spoiler]
-
"That must've been scary," she noted, "How did you... end up here?"
-
“[b]Not sure. There was a flash of light, and then,[/b]” He shrugged calmly, “[b]I kinda just appeared here.[/b]”
-
"Oh? I got teleported here by the Vex. I stepped through the Gate, wound up here."
-
“[b]Any other Guardians here?[/b]” He asked hopefully, looking past her at the looming front gate of the Dojo.
-
"Probably. I came here to find my Mom..." Phoebe told him.
-
“[b]What’s her name? Probably haven’t heard of her, but maybe I knew her from my timeline.[/b]”
-
"Her name is Sarah Grey," Phoebe replied, "She went missing when I was five."
-
Edited by GingerlyWalnut3: 12/17/2017 5:49:50 AMGinger thought about it for a moment, trying to see if he remembered the name, before shaking his head. “[b]Nope, can’t say that I remember a Sarah Grey. Have you found her yet?[/b]”
-
"No. I have not."
-
“[b]Well, I can try to help you find her, y’know, if you need it? It’s not like I have anything better to do at the moment. [/b] Ginger said kindly.
-
"Thank you! Thank you!" Phoebe exclaimed hugging Ginger.
-
“[b]Hey... you can thank me when we find her.[/b]” Ginger said, returning the hug gratefully.
-
Suddenly, Phoebe grabbed his hand as she sped around, looking for her mother.
-
“[b]Oh alright, I guess were just going straight into it then.[/b]” Ginger allowed her to lead him by the hand, following her through the unfamiliar landscape.
-
She ran fast enough that she was pratically dragging him.
-
“[b]So wait, do you know where we’re going?[/b]” Ginger asked, barely keeping up with his energetic partner.
-
"No clue! But we'll find her!"
-
“[b]... Sounds like a plan.[/b]” He said enthusiastically, his grip on her hand tightening slightly as he began to recover his stamina.
-
Phoebe knocked down a Hunter. They ran into a hunter wearing a complete set of bog gear. She yelled, "Hey! Watch the cloak!"
-
Ginger waved back apologetically to the first hunter, calling out to the second, "[b]Hey, nice cloak![/b]" to the second. Since the two had started running, he'd actually gained control of himself, to the point where he could keep up with Phoebe without too much difficulty. Titan's stamina. Taking advantage of the moment, he decided to get to know her better. "[b]So Phoebe,[/b]" he asked her, "[b]tell me about yourself. Have any hobbies?[/b]"
