Nausicaä came awake with a slight start. It was early morning - she usually woke early and today was no exception - but something was very wrong. She hadn't gone to sleep inside of a small stone hut. She sat up

You've never experienced good sleep until you've slept in the freezing cold. That's why it's always considered pretty dangerous...not that Ibis would die from temperatures like this. When she heard her name being called, she groaned and slowly dragged herself up, rubbing her eyes.

"Hmmm? Yeah, I'm awake now."

Wait a second, why was Nausicaä in the same room she was? And why didn't the room look like the one she fell asleep in? Okay, now she was startled.

"W-Whoa!" was all she could manage at the moment. Words would come later.

"Yeah, I know...." Nausicaä crouched next to Ibis and gave her a moment to wake up. "I think the Garden is playing tricks on us again. There's a snowstorm building outside, but it doesn't look like there's anything useful here at all, aside from this sleeping bag."

She glanced toward the restroom, "...and in there, obviously. You don't remember arriving here, do you?"

Ibis pushed herself to her feet and gave a look around.

Snow. Snow everywhere. She had never seen so much or it come down so hard. Even though she had grew up in New York State, the climate had changed too much to put this much stuff out of the clouds.

She shook her head in reply to Nausicaä. "I definitely don't remember falling asleep here. But...with nothing, what are we supposed to do?"

"There might be food out there...." She gestured toward the door, a thoughtful expression on her face. "But if we get lost we're not likely to make it back here. But we also don't know how long the storm is going to last."

She pressed her lips together, thinking. "...we might want to just go look very quickly, while we still have strength. It'd be better then trying to wait it out and then realizing we're not going to make it."
