poly_chromatic | ~ Post 001 - Landing on Her Feet (open)

[Someone else has arrived in the City, landing in the fountain, which seems to be a tradition here. The screen of the device, which is waiting conveniently for the latest guest on the edge of the fountain, captures the woman as she surfaces, squints against the sun then quickly checks the water around her for her sunglasses. She notices the device, but is distracted when one of her hands locates her missing shades. She stands -- a woman in a tight, black wardrobe, leather belt with a gold skull buckle and two guns strapped to her thighs. The lower part of her legs are still in the water.

Her dark brown hair is pulled back in a long, French braid. She's wearing very little make-up, but then, she doesn't really need to wear much at all as her rather striking beauty comes through, even in this slightly bedragled state. Strands of her hair have come free from the braid and her clothing appears to have been dragged through some mud before her arrival. Her other hand reaches behind her for a small backpack and unerringly unzips the pocket she needs. A mobile phone drops out into her hand. She checks it for connectivity, but seems to be having trouble getting a signal. She sighs, slides a look to the device and walks toward it, water splashing a little as she moves. She leans closer, looking the item over with a 'hmmm', then she addresses whoever might be able to receive her message. She smiles a little, her voice is pleasant and the accent in definately British.]

Well, hello. This doesn't seem to be the ruins of Aztlán.

[She doesn't appear overly upset by this development as she slowly nods, once, toward the device.]

I suppose this is some sort of general feed video phone. Interesting. Strange place to leave it lying around. My phone... is wet and I need to make a few calls. Anyone at the other end?

[Oh, hello, have another deep British voice at you Lady Croft.]

Good morning. No, it is certainly not the ruins of Aztlán. But I'll certainly try to answer your questions to the best of my ability.

[He was probably on his way to do something important until he was distracted by the foxy lady on his comm-thingie.]

Hellllllllooooooo, gorgeous. Where have you been all my life? Alternate timeline?

I doubt that anyone you'd like to call will answer.

[ Near to the fountain, Lara will encounter an animal drive! Several open cases of adorable animals and this guy overseeing it. He looks up from talking to a possible adopter and sees - well - a woman standing in the fountain. Drenched. He politely tells the person he'll be right back before bounding over to her. ]

Hi. Do you need any help? [ Is she doing this deliberately? Could it be a curse? ]
