Day 1
'My name is Lucia Solomon and I have just been Narniad.' That was her first thought as she looked out over the grasslands in front that stretched out until it met the horizon only interrupted by a river that bisected it. To the left the grass reached a tranquil looking forest that looked like something out of a tourist brochure.
To the right the grasslands continued as far as her eyes could see and finally behind her was a large hill with a dead tree at the top, behind it the young woman could see additional hills that carried on until they finally gained some self-respect and grew into mountains whose craggy peaks scratched at the sky.
The only sign of civilization was a stone bridge that arched over the river somewhat to the right of her with a stone road that had last seen any real traffic some decades ago at the very least as it was almost overgrown with grass and some bushes reclaiming it for nature, it emerged from the grasslands farthest from her and connected with the bridge before going over for a bit and then it split one road went on one continued out of sight while the other turned towards the forest and continued on into it.
She could hear birdsong and on the other side of the river was a doe with two fawns following. It was in short idyllic almost to a nauseating degree and the air was filled with the scents of flowers completely free from any hint of human habitation.
Every breath she took felt like a renewal as she felt like something was energizing her with every lungful bringing more then just fresh oxygen to her bloodstream and giving energy beyond what it would normally.
"This is beyond weird and if a lion comes up to me talking about destiny I'll skin that asshole." These were her first she had said out loud since whatever had happened happened...
"Alright Lucy Lou take stock what do you have aside from a wallet and phone." Speaking out loud helped in keeping her calm and doing something constructive allowed Lucia to avoid thinking about the broader implications of her situation.
"Let's see... Wallet, keys, phone, charger, tissues, lip-balm, mint flavoured gum, three pens, a notebook, a lighter, and three salt-packets from burger king, wow I really didn't pack well for my interdimensional trip huh?"
Lucia did quite actively not think about her parents and friends that she might never see again. Did everything not to feel like she might have just lost her place in the world that she had fought hard for growing up as one of the few African-Americans in her decidedly white neighbourhood, a gangly bookworm with few friends but many insecurities that changed herself into a buff, garden growing bookworm with few insecurities but many friends and a bachelors that she would change into a full PhD given time.
"Okay think what would Bear Grylls do... Aside from drinking his own pee that is.." Lucia looked over the scenery again hoping to spy something new.
In the forest she saw what looked like a ruined stone wall a bit further in on the side of the road maybe something useful could be found there?
The tree at the top of the hill nearest to her looked dry without looking rotten, perfect to use as firewood.
Some of the bushes interspersed among the grass looked like they had some berries on them and finally some of the grasses looked like flax which she knew could be used to make oil and fibres for weaving...
She sat down on a rock thinking things over a bit more. Her jeans and top with a jacket would not keep her warm at night and her blue canvas shoes while great for the city wouldn't last long in an outdoors situation the purse might be useful but it was kinda full already.
"Okay lets prioritize: Shelter, water and food that's what I must have today before sunset." Never one for shying away from hard work Lucy stood up and began to work on her problems one by one.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************
Lucy has some choices to make. Please vote in plan format and choose five things for her to try to accomplish with highest priority highest and lowest last. I'll put up her stats soon to help you out but some choices bring consequences even if you succeed Luck is always used as a bonus unless in games of chance where it is used as a regular stat. If anyone has a good picture to use for how she looks please link.
