The city started as an excavation site where a massive blastia had been found. --Er, that's a kind of magic technology. People were studying it for decades, but...
Someone found a way to activate it. It turned out that something even bigger was hidden under the mountain, and when it moved... the whole cavern collapsed and the city was destroyed.
[ she looks like she wants to argue that it's dangerous - and that... certainly is evidence to argue with. that the magic thing they were studying caused a cave in.
but lux has more tact than that, and so she just frowns. a whole city in a cavern collapsing sounds really dire. ]
... Yeah. We'll rebuild, with or without a gazillion gald.
Anyway, I guess we should do one of these tasks. [checking...] Go somewhere? Like there's anywhere that interesting to go to. We can't even leave campus.

What happened to it?

But is there anywhere that you would like to go? If you are hungry, perhaps to grab something to eat?
no subject

... But perhaps sandwiches are easier.

All right, let's go there.

Oh, hey. These look pretty good. [a peach tree! she'll reach for one of the fruits...
and is just barely too short to reach, even on the tips of her toes.
