Chapter 69: An Unexpected Bug
Kim was bored. While she had wanted to find something more than just the forest, and the buildings had promised they were near some kind of civilization, she was getting the feeling that this was going to me a lot more rustic than she'd like. Judging from the fbuildings in the village or town or whatever, it was clear to her that they were either in a medieval time period of some kind of fantasy adventure world.
Which meant that there wasn't anything technological that would interest her. If they'd arrived in a victorian era, or even a 1920s time period, she was sure she'd enjoy the sights and maybe even get to see Elin in a flapper girl outfit or whatever costume that came to her mind that she might see.
Yet, she couldn't think of anything that would interest her in a world like this. Not only that, but she was quite sure it would be completely full of patriarchal bull that she'd likely have to wade neck deep through.
"Anyone have any idea what any of these buildings are?" Kim asked, feeling like the buildings all looked the same, which couldn't be right, since no village would ever survive with buildings that were all identical and served the same function.
It didn't help that she was starting to itch pretty much everywhere. She couldn't figure out why, but would like to get somewhere where she could maybe take a bath, or a bird bath if necessary, and maybe rinse off whatever it was that was making her itch.
"I'll go ask someone," Jonas said. "Worst case, we'll find out that we can't communicate easily with them."
Kim wished this was easier. She was already getting fed up with all that was going on. Although, that just might be her being tired. She wasn't sure. Although, she suddenly realized there was something wrong with her.
Her head felt hot and her surroundings felt like they were blending together. "I'm not feeling so good," Kim muttered as she felt the ground rise up to meet her.
Vaguely she was aware of two figures hovering over her, saying something that she couldn't make out. Whatever they were saying, it felt like it was muffled to the point where it sounded like she was litstening to sound tones rather than attempts at speech.
