Foreword: Alright, well, I'm going to give this a try. I've been dieing to write for years, go figure when I found myself mentally able to write after work and not just the weekends, it became a LOT harder to find writing partners.
Well, you know what they say when you talk to yourself, No better or smarter company! So Here I am, finally trying to write.
This one is going to be a continuation of a story I've worked over in my head involving the Traveler and one of my more "memorable" companions of his, although let's be honest, she's pretty basic just like Rose from Doctor Who.
This story will take place after what I've done in my head so far, and is the first proper adventurer with their new companion. If anyone is actually interested in learning about them or their previous adventures, maybe I'll share them one day, but it's not much.
I would kill to have a long term RP playing this guy but I swear the idea is cursed or something. I want to think I'm just paranoid but you won't convince me of it!

Deep in the far reaches of the galaxy, there resides an ancient planet, it's once great city now abandoned, the circuitry still strong, but yet it remains silent and cold, undisturbed for untold centuries if not more. That changes today, when the ancient ring, more ancient than the city itself, began to stir to life once more. One by one the lights turned on, until with a great blast of energy, a portal stabilized, a strange and mysterious man stepping through it.
He was quite average to be honest, or so he seemed. Five ten, brown hair, well shaped jaw, good looking but quite undistinctive in any feature. He dressed simply, a long leather trench coat covering jeans and a t-shirt, his shirt black in color save for the large smiley face across his chest, and he still wore his hiking boots, fresh swamp mud on the toes.
He took several steps from the portal, glancing around with a low whistle of interest, before turning to glance back at the portal as a young blonde woman stepped through it, her face bright red and flustered as she adjusted her clothing, grumbling and avoiding eye contact with the man. She dressed in bright colors, a vest and shirt, light pink, with white boots and a knee length skirt she was now regretting, her silver chain with charms on it still hanging around her hips.
"That's the second time! This better not keep happening!" The girl huffed annoyed at the man.
"Quite odd indeed, you must just have bad luck." The man responded with a shrug.
"Bad luck my ass!" She grumbled as she walked past him, as the third member of their party finished coming through the portal. This one was dressed in what one could only call ancient roman armor, although the materials of his armor were far different than anything we would know, the colors of the cloth and paint were clearly a jade green, as he was until just an hour ago, a guard to the Jade Empress.
"What does she mean, second time," he asked annoyed, glaring at the first man.
"Don't worry about." The first man responded as he turned to head deeper into the strange new city.
.
The second man shook his head, and hurried to catch up with the young woman. "I'm sorry I let that happen, I should have been focused, but this friend of yours is beyond frustrating!" He said exasperated.
She stopped, and turned to kiss him on the cheek, bringing a small smile to his face. "It's alright, at least you hurried to cut me loose, while he just wanted to watch!" She said as she once more glared at the man in the coat.
.
He however, was already quite a ways ahead, staring around at the strange city temple, amazing at the intricacy of it all. "Amazing! Simply Amazing! Is this stone? Metal? I've never felt anything like it. And the walls! The circuitry is built right in! Absolutely incredible!"
.
"Is he always like this?" The man asked the young woman.
"No idea, yours was the first planet we visited together. I'm just as confused as you are." she replied, the two of them hurrying to catch up.
.
"You know," He said as the two caught up to him, "You'd think there'd be people around, the gate was situated in a clear and open location, there would certainly be someone attending to new travelers, but it's so eerily quite this place must have been abandoned a long time ago, and yet, not a speck of dust." He said, grinning ear to ear. "How perplexing."
.
The city stretched out for miles, the architecture insinuating it was all built at once, the black walls seemed to be solid pieces except for the exposed circuitry and lights, which seemed to mostly be an aesthetic choice of the ancient builders. It was designed much like the ancient temples we've seen, but far more hi-tech than anything you or I have seen. Some buildings were square pyramids while others were straight and reached for the skies, there was hardly a pointed roof to be found. Even the roads seemed to be of the same materials, and there wasn't a single seem to be found, as if it was all just one solid piece of stone or metal, shaped into a single connected city. Only the doors seemed to be made of a separate piece, with so obvious way of opening them, and the windows were too dark to see through, at least to those outside.
.
The trio wandered for nearly an hour as the Traveler marveled and rambled about this ancient place, a fire ignited in the archeologist blood his parents birthed him with, his excitement of discovering such a place was palpable in the cool day's air.
.
"So what do think this place was?" The girl asked.
"And what do you think happened to everyone? There's no signs of bodies or... anything... anywhere." The guardian added.
"Great questions that I have no answers to! The Traveler responded excitedly. "My only guess is some strangle aliens may have come down and consumed all organic life, including the bones, and then simply left. I wonder if it's worth exploring the rest of the planet, there's always a chance life continues elsewhere, but this sure is strange."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I came up with the idea of this ancient city, aaaages ago and, honestly. I STILL have nothing. NO IDEA what to do with this part of the story. What do they find? I don't know. maybe some useful tech.
SPOILERS! theres no life in the city so nothing to fight, or anything like that. Mostly just an adventure of archeology and learning about some ancient civilization. Don't know what to do with that though. So I may skip ahead to another planned idea, the reveal of his immortality to these two.
The Traveler isn't always very forthcoming with imformation.
The question is, between this adventure and that one, how many places should they have visited? HMMMM. could always do the doctor who thing and fill those in later. *shrugs*
