The Oasis

[greatcleavage]

What the heck was he doing here?

Beneath the shade of the palm fronds, Roy stared out at the desert that stretched out in every direction. Somehow he'd found himself here, against all logic. A weird sidequest? A dream? Maybe he was dead again and his spirit had been hijacked.

Well, what could he do but wait and see what came along? The oasis showed signs of being used by travelers, so he wouldn't be stuck here forever anyway...

Don't recall who we had planned for this, so tossing Naja for now.

The young girl was gasping as she pulled herself along the sands to the oasis using the odd shaped cane she was carrying. HEr over large earrings swayed as she moved, though her odd dress was all but plastered to her by the heat. When she got closer, Roy would - if he passed his spot check to even notice her in the first place - see why the cane she was using as a walking stick looked so odd. It had a man's face on the front of the top knob, complete with a long drooping mustache.

The girl carried a rounded bag over one shoulder and when she came to the edge of the water, she clearly didn't notice Roy. she had eyes only for the water once she had seen it.

"Water!" she gasped. She flung her bag and the walking stick to either side, and threw herself forward.

"OW!" The male voice sounded old, and... sounded like it came from the walking stick. "Najaran! It could be another Mirage!"

But his words were ignored as she thrust her head unto the water, giving Roy a look at an odd box on the back of her belt that Haley probably would have considered easy pickings at that moment.
