Medoria

When he made note of the Medorian nobility, she looked a bit concerned. "Sounds like I might have my work cut out for me," she murmured. "Well, then. Let's go. We'll put as much romance as we can into this one. Then really crank it up when we get back to Earth."

He gently brushed a little bit from her hair, leaning in to kiss. "Did you have an exciting day at work?"

She kissed him back. "Isn't it always exciting?" She asked. "in three days though, you're coming with me."

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"Is that a fact?" Another kiss, as he cradled her head.

"Mmmhmm. Hope you don't mind an earth wedding," she grinned.

"It is what I signed up for," he reminded her.

"Then I can also get my stuff to move here," she added, kissing him.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"You can't do that already?" he asked, kissing her.

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

"I'd rather spend time with you," she murmured against his lips.

"I think know the feeling." he kissed her again.

"How have things been here?" she asked as she kissed him again.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"The same as always; which is to say a little less than well."

"What needs to be done to start rebuilding it?" she asked as she kissed him again.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"That would be the problem," he whispered, glancing away. "So far as anyone can tell, it can't be rebuilt."

"What? Why? Are the resources that depleted?" she asked softly.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"It's not the resources," he told her. "...I'll have to show you."

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

"Show me, then," she replied softly.

He would offer her his hand - kissing it gently before leading her down the hill, down a little further - and disappearing behind a wall of illusion.

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

She took his hand, following. "...Nathaniel?" The illusion disappeared.

Wasteland stretched before them - cracked earth, without a single speck of vegetation growing on its surface. "It covers ninety percent of Medoria. From what I've been told, it was some form of war, or attack; though no one's ever been entirely certain."

She surveyed the land. "Do you have agriculturalists? Farmers? Scientists to find out what happened to the soil?"

"A rather potent piece of magic," he told her, sighing faintly, "And it isn't just the earth; creatures mutate - spells fail. Electronic devices as well." He sighed.

"There's gotta be something." Steph thought of what sort of technologies they had.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"Someone's managed a blade of grass or two, now and again," he admitted. "But we haven't been strong enough to make it anything but wastelands."

[msrogers.livejournal.com]

"Is that using your technology or ours?" she asked.

[ruleswithvelvet.livejournal.com]

"Both; yours was... less than helpful with this place," he admitted. "It had a tendency to explode here."
