[nospaces] [attr="class","believeBG"] [attr="class","believeHead"] [attr="class","believeIcon"]  [attr="class","believeBody"] Ding dong~ [break][break]The train from Tokyo to Ishikawa was just pulling into the station and Jessie took this opportunity to rise to her feet to join the people that had gathered in front of the stop. She checked her phone again trying to make sure she was in the right place and this was the right train. This was especially important since she was not only specifically picked for this task due to her unique abilities, but this was also her first opportunity to work with another Pro Hero. Nimue Nakahara was her name and she had been in this field for a lot longer than Jessie had. [break][break]Stepping onto the train she took a seat near the door. It would be at least 2 more hours until she made it to the Ishikawa train station and she wasn't even sure if she'd be meeting this Nimue at another stop or if she would be getting there the same way she was? There was some kind of website they offered her to use to get more information about her future partner, but unluckily for her, she had lost the password so aside from her full name Jessie knew nothing about this woman. Reaching into her pocket she unfurled her phone charger and plugged it into the nearest outlet then took the receiving end and plugged her cellphone into it. She was in for a long ride so she figured why not play some games in the meantime? Hard to tell by appearances was that Jessie was a really big gamer and when it came to mobile games she was kind of a big spender.[break][break] Ding dong~ [break][break] The train began to take off as it picked up speed and Jessie settled into her seat. It was gonna be a long trip and at this point Jessie was just thankful for the free Wifi. ulla [newclass=.believeBG]background-color:#fff;width:400px;padding-bottom:20px;border-radius:10px;box-shadow:#ccc 4px 4px 5px;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeHead]background-image:url(https://i.imgur.com/qzPafLN.png?1);background-position:center center;border-radius:10px 10px 0 0;height:175px;-webkit-clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0 75%);clip-path: polygon(0 0, 100% 0, 100% 100%, 0 75%);[/newclass] [newclass=.believeIcon]-webkit-transform:rotate(-39deg);float:left;margin-top:-70px;margin-left:50px;border:#fff 5px solid;background-color:#fff;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeIcon IMG]width:65px;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeBody]padding:20px 40px;font-family:arial;font-size:10px;text-align:justify;color:#3a3a3a;line-height:12px;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeBody b]color:#ab8ed1;font-family:varela round;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeBody i]color:#888;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeButton]background-image:url(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/49/98/9e/49989e61e44b15452f882ce5f8ba1af6.gif);background-position:center center;-webkit-filter:grayscale(60%);height:40px;width:80%;border-radius:80px;box-shadow:#ccc 1px 1px 3px;color:#fff;line-height:40px;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:10px;text-transform:uppercase;[/newclass] [newclass=.believeButton a]color:#fff!important;font-weight:400!important;[/newclass] [googlefont=Varela Round] |

She did not like trains. They were sort of slow... yet that was absolutely not what they were, obviously, the expensive bullet trains in Japan were worth their money because they were going so freaking fast. But why take her out of Tokyo? She did not get it, she would not entirely mind it because of the job, she was surprised because of the invitation and the vague information she got. Was it because she helped Azusa so well? She highly doubted that but she was meeting a new pro-hero and someone had said she should be very curious about that meeting. She did not want to drive, that would even take longer but she wasn't all too happy about going too far from her normal job. Thank god no biology trips or anything for that matter, Hatsumomo would keep an eye on the kids and the kids would be able to do their infirmary job pretty well. She had her faith in Angelica and the others, as long as they did not bicker or feel nervous about their abilities. She sighed, okay thinking about them made it only worse, maybe Yasashi would be able to point it out and make it better and... Okay, no time to think about that. She sighed again and leaned with her head back against the train wall. Seriously, she should stop thinking so negative it wasn't like her anyway. Besides her life was going well, she was maybe slightly overworked so these two hours for the trip should be considered a blessing. A moment of relaxing!
But her bag felt heavy. It was just a heavy burden but it also did not help that she brought a heavy book to read, her hero outfit was in there, her spear (albeit in three pieces as the mechanism worked) and just about the rest of the stuff. First aid kit, water, snacks, anything that she was thinking about that she should bring. She should have put it in a backpack instead of a shoulder bag but that was always something you realized at a far later point. She got up when an elderly man passed her to offer her seat, as she had gotten the train in Musutafu, she had already been sitting for a while and offered her seat. She said she should be the one to find a new spot not him. So she would sigh at her own thoughts again and walk on to find a new seat. It was rather busy, no surprise on a normal working day, but she was sure more people would leave the further they would get from the city centre or the normal busy regions of Tokyo itself.
Finally, she noticed a spot, wait, maybe the other person was gone. She looked at the girl and tried to get her attention from her phone by coughing. "Hi, sorry but is that seat free?" She pointed at the seat next to the young woman, and hoped that it was, and not someone who went to go find coffee or a toilet but just a free spot! Next to the door and everything, it would be great!

The ride wasn't so bad as Jessie was fully engrossed in her game she did take the occasional look outside of the window in front of her. She hadn't spent much time in the countryside and was honestly looking forward to it given what she had heard. Tokyo was nice but she had been told at a young age by her father that she hadn't truly lived until she'd seen the sunrise away from all of the hustle and bustle of the city.[break][break]With the sound of footsteps briefly taking her attention away from the level she was on she was greeted by a woman who looked not much older than her asking if the seat next to her was taken. Jessie smiled and shook her head before patting the seat gesturing that she could in fact sit down next to her. She took this opportunity to move her stuff over so that Nimue could get comfortable and not feel as though she was intruding in Jessie's space.[break][break]'I should introduce myself' she thought to herself and was about to form a mental connection with her when she realized it would probably be best to communicate in a more conventional way first. She took it upon herself to get Nimue's attention and signed to her 'Hi my name is Jessie Murakami. It's a pleasure to meet you may I get your name?' shortly after this she realized that not everyone knew JSL and she would probably need to write this down to explain so she reached into her bag and got out a tablet she always carried with her. Opening the screen to a blank page to draw she scribbled exactly what she had said before and would show it to Nimue. She almost stopped there until she remembered to add 'I am a mute' which was fairly obvious given what had just transpired, but she figured it was important to keep things clear as can be.

Nimue had a very small frown on her face when the young woman patted the seat. Now of course, she recognized the gesture, she was not very used to Japanese people being so outright open and friendly to some stranger that would indicate to sit together. But that did not mean it was something negative and she smiled friendly and went to sit down on the chair when the woman her stuff was gone. She held on to her own bag and brushed her hair away, this felt weird to travel and it definitely not made the better feeling and she hoped it was going fast enough. She rather drove herself, ha what a luxury to have your own car though. She looked up when she had the idea that her attention was asked and she looked up from her bag at the girl again and smiled at her.
She stared at her and blinked a little before giving an embarrassed smile, she wouldn't get further than hi, and she wasn't even sure if she did that right. She should definitely take that course to learn Japanese Sign Language because it proved to be so important, not only for this meeting but there were also two students that she knew for sure were using a hearing aid, what if those broke, she should especially as a medical person and she realized again that she should work on that. Hm, maybe she should write that down. She sat still because her neighbour seemed to get the hint and wanted to get something from her bag and Nimue sat quietly and would wait and see what would unfold now.
Ooh, she read it rather quickly, watched as the girl took it back and scribbled something more. She was a mute, "Oh so you can hear me?" She couldn't help but say out loud, that was rather fascinating, to be honest. But she should not see everything like a research project. "I am Nimue Nakahara-" Wait, wasn't she meeting a Jessie? It wasn't really a common name in Japan right so she should just ask. She pointed at the girl before pointing at herself, "I think we are planned to have a meeting in Ishikawa?" What a small world or train in this case, that was rather funny. She was surprised because she did not have the time to read the message she had about this meeting, she had read what she should take along, but now she wondered what it was about and if she should had read it carefully.

The apprehension Nimue held at Jessie's friendly gesture was palpable yet Jessie was unwavering. Her empathetic nature made her a bit more friendly than your average woman in japan and this coupled with her quirk caused her to break some of the cultural standards pretty often. Either way, she was just happy to have helped someone out even if it was a complete stranger or so she thought. [break][break]Her eyes widened at the revelation that this random woman who needed a seat was actually the other person she was supposed to be meeting up with. What a small world! Regaining her composure her eyes lit up and words would begin to echo into Nimue's head "Hi Nakahara-san! I am in fact the person you were supposed to meet. My name is Jessie Murakami and my hero name is Umeboshi but you can use whatever you're comfortable with!" she clasped her hands together and gave Nimue a respectful bow. Taking this opportunity to put her tablet away given that she had abruptly established that she could communicate mentally she figured she owed Nimue an explanation "I apologize to just pop into your head like this. You see my quirk allows me to communicate in a sort of one way fashion. So you can hear what I want to say, but you'll have to speak aloud for me to understand you if that makes sense." rumbling through her bag for a moment she took out a small notepad with some scribbling on it "I wasn't able to find out the full details about why we're going here, but I was told I should text this number when I arrived." she pointed to the top number on the page "I wonder what this is about? sorry if I'm talking too much I've actually never had the chance to work with another Professional Hero before" her eyes glittered with adoration at the idea of working with someone who could show her the ropes. Even if they were the same age Nimue was clearly more experienced than her. In a way, it was fitting that they met by coincidence as Jessie was pretty curious as to what wisdom Nimue would have about being a pro and all they had was time on their hands. [break][break]

It took a bit before Nimue realized that this was the person she was supposed to meet and she just looked at her in a bit. Staring, blinking slowly before she realized she should say something. She did say something, she did ask if they weren't supposed to meet, huh small world. But nothing happened, Jessie didn't indicate that she was going to write on her notepad and Nimue jumped up ever so slightly (Jessie would probably see it because she sat next to her), but Nimue her shoulders went up when she heard a voice in her head that wasn't her voice. That brought about a massive headache considering Nkosi, Iwayo and Uphondu immediately yelled at her, something about an intruder, headache splitting words at least. She had her right eye almost closed and simply nodded at Jessie, trying to calm down the three spirits. She seriously hoped they were not also now in Jessie her head, because that meant she had a lot to explain, but they could hear her and she felt Lindiwe stirring as well, considering the Dryad couldn't say anything. OKAY CALM! She yelled at them mentally and trying to restrain herself from slumping and sat up straight. She did not want Jessie to feel unwelcome. She had explained she was a mute, so if this was how she would be able to communicate than so be it.
Wew, it helped when Jessie explained more about herself and the two female spirits stopped talking. Uphondu remained muttering that this was treason, intrusion and so on and she just tried to focus on Jessie and wave away her apology, this was okay, it was a surprise for sure but it was okay and she nodded. "I do have to admit that I did not read the email to the full detail, it was quite long." she checked the number Jessie held up and nodded, she got that one too. "All I know is that it has something to do with healing, spiritual I believe." But she still did not know what she was supposed to do, surely she had spirits and she could heal but she never really tried on a spiritual level, at least... not in Japan.
It did surprise her that Jessie had not met another pro-hero before and she blushed a little. Let her not become as awkward as she was when meeting Azusa for the first time. "You haven't been a hero for long?" She asked, though rather softly as she wasn't dressed as a hero herself, she rather not have eavesdropping people on them for now.

Jessie was a little concerned at how Nimue reacted to her mental communication. Most of the reactions she got from mentally communicating with others were confusion or intrigue but in Nimue's case, she seemed to be in pain. Immediately given the reaction she broke off the mental link as she didn't want to make her feel any more uncomfortable. Curious now however given that when she had originally extended that mental connection she had run into some interference. It wasn't exactly the strongest presence, but it felt as though there were at least a few people in Nimue's own head. [break][break]Placing a hand on Nimue's shoulder in understanding she subtly used her own quirk to get some general emotional feedback from the woman next to her. She couldn't discern just one general emotion from her which solidified her own theory that Nimue had something or someone else with her. She decided to pull out her tablet again and write to Nimue as that would be much less disruptive than causing Nimue pain.[break][break]She scribbled briefly and then showed it to Nimue 'Sorry I didn't realize you weren't the only one in your own head! Had I know I would have exercised more caution' she blushed slightly at the embarrassment before erasing and then writing more 'Spiritual? I guess that makes sense given my quirk. I'm gonna assume you have something mystical about your quirk as well? I've actually only been a Pro Hero for a few weeks now' it wasn't exactly something she was ashamed of, but she didn't exactly like announcing how much of a novice she truly was. The train dipped into a tunnel which made the lights ahead turn on dimly shining overhead. It was much easier to convey in sign language but in cases like this, she just wanted to make her potential partner as comfortable as possible. Taking a moment to think she mimicked a lightbulb popping up over her head and she ruffled through her bag to pull out a bento box. Gesturing to Nimue to take it she smiled and if she questioned if this was for her she would nod enthusiastically. Jessie wasn't the best cook, but she found that a gift of food was almost always well received even if it was offered in silence.

God having them all speak at once at her was horrible and she did not know how to fix it, it was disastrous until Jessie stopped talking to her and she could quickly tell the three idiots in her mind to calm down! She had expected more from them, they did not freak out with Lindiwe either, bless that the dryad could not speak in her mind, five would be way too much, or six... if you counted yourself. With the headache avoided she could not help but shiver and give an apologizing smile to Jessie, wonderful, already kicked her out before they even met. She looked up to Jessie when she felt her hand on her shoulder and again gave her that smile, she hoped she was not offended but by the look on the other hero her face it seemed to have gone fine, lucky for Nimue.
She nodded to the answers of Jessie as she had written it on her tablet again, "Sorry about that, my quirk lends me the powers of three spirits, they are quite vocal and apparently quite territorial." She looked at nothing but squinted as if to say to her spirits to not do it again, before looking back at the young woman next to her. "They would not do it again, so feel free to try again, sorry for the surprise." She would see if Jessie would do so but would also point out the other points they discussed, "If both our quirks have to do with the spiritual stuff than it makes sense. I do have to say, I haven't tried these things for quite a while, I should maybe read the email again. Also, congratulations on becoming a pro-hero, I think I got my license now one and a half years ago." She quickly calculated the months on her fingers before nodding, "Yes, the end of October in 2072." Wew, time went fast.

'Spirits huh?'[break][break] It was an interesting thing to hear as Jessie had never really considered the idea that someone else would have more 'spiritual' abilities as she did. Heck, this just confirmed what was bothering her when she tried to mentally connect to Nimue and got some interference. Narrowing her eyes in order to focus and she discovered she could link with these spirits! How exciting! [break][break]They were probably about 15 minutes away at this point and Jessie figured it would be a good time to confirm exactly what they were doing. "Let me try this again. Hello!" she tried to keep her mental voice hushed at this point "I'm sorry I didn't realize anyone else was living here" while not intended to be a joke she couldn't help but giggle at the way that must have sounded to the group of them. "Let me check my phone Nakahara-san" she wasn't super familiar with the whole hero website and how to log into her email but after a minute or so of trying and failing she managed to bring up the email.[break][break] She leaned closer to Nimue so she could see and they could both read it simultaneously. It said 'Dear Umeboshi. You are tasked to meet up with another Pro in the organization, Witch Doctor aka. Nimue Nakahara, in order to investigate a mansion at the behest of a client 'Mr. Ishimura'. He suspects that there is something supernatural going on and no one has been able to approach let alone enter the mansion. We're hoping with your quirk in tandem with Ms.Nakahara you two will be able to solve this problem. Please head to this address below in Ishikawa. Mr.Ishimura will be waiting for you at the station. Best wishes' Jessie give her a few extra seconds before confirming that Nimue had read it and close her phone "I guess that we're dealing with something supernatural? Kind of exciting! I'll be in your care Nakahara-san" she bowed respectfully to her senior even if she had only been a Pro Hero a few more months than herself.

Nimue felt like she had to apologize and scold the spirits in her head. It was just so much and she was sure that it would be something but for now she let Jessie try again. She should actually point out that they would have to use hero names but then she realized Jessie was mute so that wouldn't be an issue right... unless she would speak to others and say the name. She was happy to hear though how Jessie spoke to her and how the others remain quiet, it was just Iwayo to say that it was okay now but they all remained quiet, she wasn't sure what to say about it and if Jessie could talk to the spirits? What was that all about in that case and would she hear it? She let it happen for now and would point it out later, she was a starting hero so it would only make sense to explain during the job. She let Jessie lean close so they could read the email together, Umeboshi, that was a good thing to remember if they were going to use the names.
"Right, I still find it a bit tricky, this is normally not my job. I wonder if it's also to check up on the person for his medical condition?" She wasn't sure about it anyway but not going to complain about it. They knew about her heritage and South Africa and obviously about her quirk and if Jessie had this, then it made sense the two of them were sent because of their spiritual background and so on. Though strangely Nimue was also Christian. It was something she found out to combine and she wasn't sure how to work it around. "Well let's see what we can make of it, also it's good to when you refer me to others to use my hero name, but you can call me by my name in my mind." She smiled, that was the best way to say it right, she would do the say and Nimue would stand up because they would almost be there. The long trip, she would try to already want to stretch her legs. She would pace back and forth to make sure this would be fine, she wasn't sure what would happen and what they would get into. She hadn't been working on spiritual matters for so long. "Okay, did you do this before?"

[nospaces] [attr="class","believeBG"] [attr="class","believeHead"] [attr="class","believeIcon"] [attr="class","believeBody"] "Medical?" Jessie wasn't aware that Nimue had any experience in the medical field. Though now that she thought about it with a nickname of Witch Doctor it should have been pretty apparent from the beginning. Catching herself before she said something stupid she added "Oh Witch Doctor! I get it that makes sense." when Nimue asked if she had done anything spiritual prior to this she had to think about it for a moment. It was true that she technically hadn't done any hero work involving her quirk, but she had dealt with some rather strange almost supernatural things growing up. She could see what other people didn't since she was always seeing the energy given off by living things and as a result, she could have sworn a few times that she had what could only be described as a ghost. [break][break] "Hmm I wouldn't say I have any professional experience, but I definitely have seen a few weird things growing up. Could have sworn I've seen a ghost or two." she scratched her head nervously as she wasn't exactly sure if Nimue even believed in ghosts let alone if she'd believe her.[break][break] Ding dong~ [break][break] The train they were riding had finally come to a stop as it announced that they had arrived in Ishikawa. "I guess that's us! I hope this person we're meeting really is waiting" she reached down to pick up her bag full of her gear and stood up "After you!" she added gesturing towards the door as to let Nimue go first in order to be polite.

She looked up from her musing when Jessie repeated her alias and gave the other hero a small smile, "It was the best I could think of at that moment, as I finished studying medicine." She gave a short laugh as well and just wanted to make sure it was all fun and well for now. But it was still a weird request, maybe they had not dared to ask her before because going alone would not have been a good idea maybe? But also it was, of course, a question of experience, which is why she brought it up and looked expectant at Jessie. Thereafter, Nimue nodded, she wasn't sure if she would even know how it professionally worked but seeing a ghost or two, yea that probably helped. She looked at her feet, she had seen a ghost, although she had called it spirits. Not only the three she carried with her but even one last November. She did not want to think about it, seeing her father at that time had been strange and satisfying while it was not. But that wasn't so weird; after all, you didn't want your close family to die right? And not in the way he was killed, murdered, she shivered and looked out of the train window now that she had been standing opposite Jessie. "Yea, me too." She mumbled.
She would get out first, it was the easiest way to walk but not that many would get off, a lot already left and thus she waited for Jessie to walk next to her. There was only one exit from Ishikawa's station, so that was easy their destination. She quickly fished a part of her hero-outfit out of the bag she was carrying to hide her hair and just done the Witch Doctor look. She gave a wry smile to Jessie, maybe one day she would explain to her why she was so focused on that. Maybe other heroes could teach her not to do so. But she did not want anything to happen to Giovanni.
It might have made it also easier for the person to find them, "A-are you.." it wasn't a stutter out of shyness but she had not expected the age of this guy, "Umeboshi and Witch Doctor? You look like them." She shortly looked at Jessie, considering she was mute and probably didn't want to jump in everyone their thoughts, Nimue should talk. "Yes we are. Thank you for waiting for us." She gave a short bow and indicated who was who for the old man as well as explaining that she would do most of the talking if he did not mind. Something had to be done if this mister Ishimura could not even enter his house, Nimue assumed the Mansion was his after all. "I will bring you to the house. I cannot go that far but I will see how far they let me today." She eyed her new friend again before politely thanking the man again for trying and that the two of them would see what they could do.

"Well I like the name!" she chimed in to make Nimue feel less self-conscious about the reasoning but when she laughed about Jessie found herself relaxing a bit. She was trying her very best to not rub anyone the wrong way given that she still felt guilty about all the years she hadn't treated Toby properly. As Nimue began to gather up her stuff Jessie did the same by first taking the red hair tie on her wrist and putting her hair up like she usually did since she figured it was best to keep her look consistent given that their client hadn't ever actually met them. She swung her duffle bag onto her seat and put anything she had taken out during her trip inside. Crouching next to her seat she reached much farther back and pulled out her sword carrying bag and strapped it onto her shoulders it could easily be mistaken for a sports equipment carrying bag and for Jessie that was the appeal given that she didn't think it would be wise to be wielding two swords openly in public even though she had a hero license.[break][break]Once the duo had exited the train Jessie would follow Nimue as the man who must have been their client approached them. She was always a little cautious about entering people's minds without giving an adequate heads up and luckily for her Nimue was quick on the uptake as she took the lead of the situation. She bowed to Mr.Ishimura and then 'spoke' to Nimue "Thank you! It's always a bit awkward to have to explain my condition and some people aren't a big fan of hearing voices in their head" she gave the slightest of nods to her as they followed Ishimura to his car. [break][break]The drive to his house was beautiful, to say the least. Jessie couldn't remember the last time she got out of the city and into the countryside. Springtime was always so beautiful and she found that time passed much more quickly due to her spacing out. "This is it..well er as far as I can go" Jessie looked up to see them at least a quarter of a mile from their destination "There's some sort of barrier that just keeps getting larger and larger that pushes me farther and farther away. I hope you two can get through I'll be waiting here for your success." he put the car in park and got out to let the two ladies out of their respective doors. Jessie got out first and approached what was presumably a barrier 'Hmm' she reached out to place her hand on it and received some feedback which felt to her like an equal force being applied to her as much as she applied to the barrier itself. "I think I can get us through?" as she looked more closely she noticed there was a slight wisp of energy in the place where the barrier was. Gesturing for Nimue to come closer she held a palm up to it and used her aura abilities to generate a small tangible field around her hand which almost effortlessly pushed through the partition. "Got it! You'll need to stand really close to me so my aura can wrap around you too. Once we're through I'll drop it" she took a deep breath as the aura based energy radiated from her body in the form of an alternating pulsing, flame-like and flowing, water-like purple aura. She extended this outside of her person so that Nimue could feel the effects and with the two of them in sync, they walked through the barrier. "Well that was easier than I thought perhaps Mr. Ishi-...huh?" confusion overtook her as she turned around to look at where they had just entered and didn't see a single person. In fact, it was like looking into a mirror as all she could see was just her and Nimue standing there looking back at that entrance "That's...odd right?" she looked at Nimue to see if she had any experience with something like this happening to her before.

Nimue was glad to meet someone like Jessie, maybe it was her power but having someone who did not need any explanations that made it a lot nicer and a lot easier to talk, and to work with. Nimue did not know what else to say but this was just going to go well. Wearing just the upper part of her hero outfit and her jeans still it wasn't exactly the best match but she was going to hide her face as best as she could, well her hair and she rubbed the foundation of her red markings. She would not talk about it if Jess did not ask and technically it was also better in that way. She would step forward to talk to mister Ishimura and gave a short side looped smile to Jessie when she thanked her as if to say no problem. She hoped when she said it that Jessie did not mind, good to hear that she did not and she would just turn her attention on the trip and listen to mister Ishimura explaining it, when he felt silent, so did she and she looked outside. She has not seen much of Japan to be honest, she had been stuck in Tokyo and Musutafu ever since she arrived, this was a nice change of scenery.
She looked through the front window when their driver stopped and said there was no way for him to continue. She frowned slightly, squinting her eyes to see if she saw it. There, a fluttering difference in the energy, but it was gone before she knew it. Once she got out, she felt it more than saw it and she, therefore, turned her attention to Jessie, noticing she saw it instead. As her new friend told her that she would be able to pass through, Nimue took quick steps towards her, "How does that work?" But there wasn't much explaining to do, Nimue wouldn't so to say be able to do it, she turned to Mister Ishimura saying they would take over from here and asked him to either wait for them and make sure he was safe. She took a few smaller steps closer to Jessie, to stand so close that they were almost touching, it felt slightly awkward, she felt the breaking and surrounding of the personal bubble that was Jessie's aura, but she did not see it. "At least it feels friendly to be in your bubble." She muttered, she was not expecting it to be nice on the other side.
Nimue nodded to say that she was ready and in sync, she took the same step as Jessie and together stepped through the barrier. She looked around, it felt eerie, weird and hostile and yet not that bad? She was looking forward and listened to Jessie while just seeing where they should go, it was as if nature had taken over and- huh what? She turned around to stare at herself, almost jumping back as she had not expected someone, even her own reflection to be so close by. "That is odd indeed." What was this place?

"This is super weird." Jessie confirmed nodding feverishly as she took a minute to soak in their new surroundings. She walked towards their point of entry and looked her mirror version in the eyes as she outstretched her hand to touch the barrier. This time even with her aura being active it didn't seem to budge which essentially meant they were stuck. "Looks like we'll have to find the source before we can leave. Weird that it's more powerful on the inside than the outside? You'd think whatever did this would want to keep people out rather than in." she cupped her chin in thought as she looked around. From what she knew about the report this...force hadn't been in control for long and yet the place looked like it had been abandoned for months. The grass was overgrown, tree roots had split the concrete and there was a general wild feeling to the space they were in.[break][break]She tried to see if she could find any traces of aura using her eyes which were attuned to this stuff, but came up with nothing. There were some general whisps in the air but they seemed to just be free-floating and not connected to something larger. "Nakahara-san? Can you sense anything? I know you said you have spirits perhaps they can feel some sort of connection?" it was a shot in the dark really as Jessie's quirk worked best if she could find the auras that were connected to something else. Living things were easy in this regard and spirits had much more flimsy auras which made them hard to pin down. If Nimue could pinpoint a general source of where this disturbance was coming from perhaps they'd be on to something. So for Jessie it was a matter of waiting to see if either Nimue or her other three companions could find a trace of something so they could move forward. [break][break]
