OOC here.

Terra slipped out of the house, holding onto the walls for support. She really, really hated having only two legs right now. Sure, she was taller, but she also had a lot farther to fall, and was very easily sent off balance. Deciding that this was a good chance to practice getting better at moving around in optime Terra set out, making sure that there was no one around first. There was no way she was just going to stay sitting in the house all day. She'd go insane! No, she was going into the hotel, and she was going to see her room. If she could make it up the stairs.


Cautiously she moved out, limping as she searched for places to move without being spotted. Unfortunately, despite the trees being so close, it thinned out in this section, making it very difficult to do so. Even worse, the rough remains of humanity leading to the hotel made it even tougher, a dirt path running through where plants were yet to reclaim. Doing her best Terra moved along the edges of the pine trees, thankful for their habit of forming a drooping fort with the lower branches. She could fit under there on two legs, and even if there was a fair distance between one and the next, while she was underneath she was hidden.


It was slow work, a kind of path slowly revealing itself to Terra. She was growing more disguised, finding ways to move out of sight. It wasn't perfect, would take time for her to work out the troublesome patches, but it was better than nothing. Her leg had a dull ache inside it as she finally reached the wall of the hotel. Leaning against it Terra sighed. It was such a pest, doing this. Still, she wasn't going to stop. Limping up to the front Terra entered in to face her worst opponent so far: the stairs.


She moved across to it, and looked down warily. It didn't seem too difficult. Clutching the rail she pulled herself up. It was working! It hurt like crazy, her leg not wanting to bend and let her climb, but she was slowly moving up. She would finally be able to return to her room. Hopefully none of her things had been touched.
