[One moment there's darkness, and then the next there's a gangly thirteen year old girl literally lunging onto the Plane. Maybe jumping through the door hadn't been the best idea... Still, Nepeta lands neatly on all fours, but it takes her a moment to actually move; not because she's hurt, but because she's so busy gawking at everything around her.]

I've never seen a bubble like this before! It's so pretty and shiny and...

Are those stars?

[Yeah, she totally did just press her face against the floor.
After a few seconds of that tomfoolery, she actually stands up, arching onto her tiptoes to peer off into the distance. She's just talking to herself at this point, half-whispering in excitement under her breath:]
This is so pawsome! I haven't seen this many stars in furever. Maybe it's Equius's bubble? Or Kanaya's? Purrhaps...

Guys? Are you here?

[In pops Marta, mid-walk. It's a slow walk, and her gaze is on the ground. She's sad again, and it shows in the way she's holding herself, how she's fussing with the ends of her hair with both hands, in her heavy sigh.

'The most important thing you can do right now is run...' well, may as well run to the Plane and get some thinking done, right? And what is there to think about? Well, nothing pretty. Altamira under attack, Regal and Sheena in danger, the Vanguard's twisted plans... And somehow, it all comes back to one central idea for her... ]

Is this my fault, for being so naive? ... What should I do...?

[She finds a quiet spot in the forest, beneath one of the trees near the edge. She sits on the ground, knees drawn up to her chest, and quietly lets her thoughts spin on themselves. Maybe she'll just sleep here, while she has the chance...]


((OoC: Canon bump!! Marta and Emil are now in Chapter 7! /confetti! For those keeping score at home: Magnar was defeated and the Vanguard's plans have been revealed - the group is now traveling to Mizuho.))
