[indent]Toni smiled gently as the woman greeted her, bowing her head in courtesy as she introduced herself; "Eudora Abby," but she went by the name Yiya. It seemed easy enough to remember. 

The younger woman jumped slightly as Yiya continued, suddenly beckoning for her to sit down. Red faced, Toni nodded and sat herself down upon the bench beside Yiya.

She settled into her seat, and listened as another girl arrived at the station. Waving quickly when Yiya introduced her to Neomi. A mixture of awkwardness and comfort whirled around in her heart as she met the locals gathered for the task; she hadn't lived in Oaken long, and hadn't had much need to venture to most parts of the city, the Burrow being one such place. She was meeting her companions now for the first time. Even so, sensing that having a handful more acquaintances, if not friends, would do her good; the next few days would be an opportunity to expand her circle and become less of a stranger. 

With introductions out of the way, Yiya had gone on to explain more who she was and about the job at hand. It proved a pleasant surprise to Toni that Yiya was also not from Oaken City. 

Toni's attention was drawn then to the spider-like mechanation accompanying the woman. Inside its terrarium stood the a tree that could cure disease caused by the Rue. It sounded like nasty business, having one's body struck down by the otherwise innocuous noises of the world. 

Fascinated as she was, Toni couldn't help but question the need for such a laboring journey. If the tree produced the medicine that could cure the disease, why not have something made in Oaken? Would the machine even travel well through the Corridor? Could the Rue harm it and the tree it was preserving? 

[i][color=fdc68a]There's got to be something more to it.[/color][/i] As Yiya finished speaking, the light of a train glowed from up the Corridor. Following soon after came the rumbling of the locomotive as it rolled down the tracks. 

Toni was about to ask her questions when another sense kicked in. It was the same feeling from the night before. Yet somehow, it was different as well. It started the same, with prickling skin and shivers off the surface. But where the prior evening had been as a passing cloud, this one lingered, digging deep into her flesh. If she had to guess, it signaled something stronger than before; or some level of intent. 

[color=fdc68a]"There's something here,"[/color] she said to the others. She stood upright and pointed towards the tracks. There, the red lights of the incoming train illuminated the forming mass of thick, dark mist. It was larger than the Rue she had seen in the past, it's fog-like form rising up to the height of two grown men. 

Toni looked to her new companions. [color=fdc68a]"We may need to deal with this one."[/color][/indent]
