Bali Hai, Friday evening: up the volcano!

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

In the late afternoon, a rickety old bus carried the Fandomites as far up the right-hand side volcano as they could go. After that, it was only a short hike up an easy, winding trail, then a quick trip over the rope bridge to the peak.

[ooc: Field trip up early for SP! Open to all, and assume handwavy IC knowledge.

Wait for the OCD

Aaaaand we have OCD!]

Peer into the volcano!

Once there, the guide gave a short talk about volcanoes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano), before taking anyone who wanted to see right up to the edge to peer down into the crater (http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/fhcollective/Bali%20Hai%20Hi%20HI/2912vil1.jpg). (The ground was covered in thick, soft moss and there was a safety fence around the crater

Amber listened to the guide and then followed along to peer down into the crater... "Oh my gosh that's a long way down. Oh my gosh."

Romeo had to see this, and leaned in as close as the safety fence would let him. "Awesome."

Jack mostly listened to the volcano talk and peered over the edge. Safely. "Wow. It's like a big glowing hole to the center of the earth!"

The volcano actually reminded Lion-o quite a bit of his home planet.

Naomi listened to the guide as she looked over the edge, she was definitely amazed by what she saw.

Lucas couldn't believe what he was getting to see. He hung back from the group, staring deep into the crater for a while.

Getting to see inside a volcano was just another thing that added to this being an incredible day for Turtle. "So. Cool," she couldn't help but gush.

As it turned out, Inara had been more traumatized by the bus than peering over the edge into the mouth of the volcano. Watching the lava bubble almost under her feet was just fascinating and strangely mesmerizing--they had nothing like this anywhere she'd ever heard of.
