Default Kathmandu - mountain


Welcome to Nepal!

So you traveled far and wide to brave the tallest mountain in the world? But are you prepared? Good thing for you, the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, is right near the base of the mountain with plenty of shops to grab last minute necessities. Those extra thick, woolen socks look tempting, don’t they?

Positive you have all you’re going to need? Go ahead and explore the town a bit. Snap some pictures of the mountain you’re about to conquer. Get to know the local townsfolk. The culture. And don’t forget to send a postcard to all your jealous friends and family.

Kathmandu! It was a beautiful city and a beautiful day.

Ella had just arrived and she had decided to stay behind at the city of Kathmandu before following the herd of yaks up to the base camp. She wanted to do some shopping first, of course. Ella hadn't traveled in years, if she didn't count the Romanian dragon reserve. She had basically lived there for two years so it didn't count as travel to her. Truth be told, she hadn't traveled anywhere in about ten years since... the bad experience. But it was time to move on, finally. She missed it!

Wandering around town, Ella snapped pictures with her old film camera of all the shops and sights and tourists. She paused for a few moments outside of a little shop and thumbed through some postcards for sale. She should probably send one to her mother and father. And maybe one to her brother. They didn't even know she was out here...

Arriving in Kathmandu, Alex realized immediately why she had chosen this trip of many of the other offerings that Terrortours had. For one, it was so peaceful here and it was something she knew she wouldn't be able to get from lounging on a beach, watching couples stare into each other's eyes longily. She hadn't even been completely sure that she WANTED to travel; the last time she 'traveled' was to Australia, which she ended up living there for like five years. And then traveled back to Scotland.

But this was really Alex's first vacation in years and she was stoked. She stopped and peered into a shop that sold postcards, thinking she ought to send some to her sisters and maybe her niece and nephew. Just in case she never made it back down the mountain, at least they would know where to find her body. Not that she expected the worst, but one could never be too sure.

Snapping a few photos of the mountains from the town, she looked around at the other tourists and simply smiled, grateful she decided to not lounge around her flat for two weeks given the mandatory holiday time off that the Ministry gave her. Snapping another photo, that was when she took notice of someone else taking pictures. Another tourist? But like herself, they appeared to be traveling alone which on the tallest mountain in the world was never a good thing...

"Hello?" Alex braved adjusting her backpack.

Ella found one postcard that reminded her of her younger brother. It was a painting, sort of like the style that he did back in Spain. She kept that one to purchase later. Before she could get any further though, she was approached by a younger woman. Ella flashed her a friendly smile and stood a little straighter. "Hello there." She noted the travel backpack she wore and the camera in her hand.

"Another lone traveler?" she asked. It was just an observation, but she didn't seem to be looking or waiting for anyone else, much like Ella herself. She was beginning to wonder if she should have told anyone about this potentially dangerous trip... Hm.

Hearing a return greeting, Alex breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed some vague signs of familiarity on the woman's face. Before she had the chance to ponder the familiarity, the woman asked another question. "I wouldn't say lone. Not in the mental or spiritual sense, anyway. But in the physical sense, that is accurate."

Looking around again to be sure no one was going to appear at the woman's side, she was about to ask the same of her, when she realized the woman had said another, so she smiled instead. "Sooooo, how long you traveling here for?"


ooc: sooo Ella graduated only two years before Alex... fyi

The woman's response was a little... not necessarily surprising, but it was not what Ella had expected. She of course had meant in the physical sense, but she appreciated the answer. Ella smiled and put the post card back. "Sometimes a personal vacation is what we all need." This was true in her case. At least, she hoped so.

"Just for the weekend. I haven't gone traveling in ten years so I thought I'd ease myself back into it." Because yes, she did want to start doing it again, as long as this trip went well. She had a feeling it might be a little... emotional, however. "And you? Planning on staying long?"

Alex smiled, pleased the woman seemed to understand about the need for time alone. "That is true. Nothing like fresh mountain air to clear one's head either."

Just the weekend? Well that was interesting and also meant that the woman probably had other responsibilities to get back to. As for her; her line of work technically was research, so she could always somehow contact Isobel that she was still doing research and wouldn't be back for a bit longer. Though with Isobel expecting - or perhaps at the hospital at that very moment - Alex doubted she would be concerned with her employees heading back from vacation late anyway.

"As long as it takes, really," Alex mused, tossing her hands in the air. "It's great not being a boss. So what do you do?" Like when she wasn't touring the great outdoors.

Ella nodded understandingly. "And I'm hoping that's exactly what it will do." Goodness knew she needed to get her head cleared. Especially before the Ministry started up again.

"That's a good answer," she replied with a small chuckle. Maybe the other woman had a better attitude, though. Maybe Ella should stay for... as long as it took. She had time. The Ministry was closed for two weeks and she did have things to do, but there was plenty of time to do it before the reopening. Hmm. It just depended on how the weekend went. She could decide later.

What did she do? Ella took in a breath of crip, fresh mountain air and sighed. "I work. A lot." Sadly, that's what it took to be a department head. "I work, I take care of my animals, I look at old picture of the days I used to travel... Rather mundane, really." Which is why it felt so good to get outside again. "And you? Surely you're life is more exciting than mine."

Oh good. This was a woman who appreciated the mountain air as much as she did. A woman who really did look as if she's seen her before, only ... older.

Hmm. She worked a lot. Magical creatures? Ah well then, that probably ruled out the possibility that she'd seen the woman about the Ministry. The woman probably worked at some reservation in Romania. A rather bias assumption of people who worked with magical creatures, but it was true .... sixty percent of the time.

"So you're used to the outdoors then, I guess, huh? Working around creatures and all." Alex mused, as the question turned to what she did. "Me? I'm an evolutionist. I ... research stuff. I'm rather fascinated by the universe." And astronomy.... and runes ... and the unknown. "Alexandria Hadley," she said, jutting out her hand. "Current Ministry Employee, former astrophysics lab scientist, and former Ravenclaw, class of 2063." Anything else the woman needed? DNA sample? Hair follicle? Hopefully not.

"Not as much as I used to be," Ella responded with a sigh. "But I'm starting again now." She loved being out in the world and trekking in the dirt and being with creatures. It was her passion, but it had been hard ever since her husband died since he was the one she always traveled with and went on adventures with. Then she got a teaching job, which made traveling even more difficult. But being a department head was less restricting now. She had time to travel, which was good.

Ella adjusted her backpack and listened to the woman describe her interests. And... wow. "Impressive. What... do you research then?" The universe... in general? Because that seemed like a rather vast area of study. Ella took the woman's hand and shook it. So, she worked at the Ministry as well? That must have been why she looked familiar. And a Ravenclaw. Well, she definitely seemed like one. "Ella Wellington. Magical Creatures department head at the Ministry." She smiled kindly again. "And former professor, dragon trainer, Gryffindor. Class of 2061." Merlin, she was getting old...

With one last look around the small town, Ella glanced up the way at the trail where the yaks were pulling all the travelers things up to the base camp. "I'm assuming you're going up to the camp...?" Because Ella was eager to go up and see what the tents were like and see who else was brave enough to come on such an exciting adventure.

Oh. Well there went that idea that this woman worked on some magical creature reservation. "There's no better time to start something than the present," Alex nodded. It was a saying she got from her sisters, but one that she found rather true in everything she ever went toward.

What did she research? Hm. Good question. "Mostly theories, revolving around the solar system and modern-day evolution." Scientific, hard-to-prove theories. But wait; Ella Wellington? Department Head and former Gryffindor? Who was only two years older than her? Well the Gryffindor part made sense given that she worked with training dragons. "Maybe that's why you seem ... familiar to me." Except older. Both of them.

"The camp, first, yes, but I'm most eager for the actual climbing of the mountain and then to see if there is truth to the possible yeti sightings at the top of the mountain." Alex nodded, and gazed off in the direction Ella was looking. "You ready to head off there?"



ooc: base camp next?
