＠Da Vinci
This is the third level of the underworld, Xoxoauhqui. It's a world of endless desert, strong winds, and zero gravity.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
I'm guessing it corresponds to Pancuetlacalóyan, the fifth level of Mictlān in Aztec mythology.

Pancuetlacalóyan... The underworld composed of a massive desert region.
[k]

＠Mash
It was believed to contain eight oases, but was also home to strong winds which would blow away anyone attempting to cross.
[k]

＠Mash
The dead would cling to trees so as not to get swept up into the sky, and were said to flap like flags...
[k]

＠Mash
You're right. That does sound a lot like this place.

...we'll have to cross eight oases?

＠Habetrot
You mean like that oasis floating in the sky? I can fly a little bit myself, but I definitely couldn't fly up there with all this wind.
[k]

＠Habetrot
And that's not even mentioning the area with no gravity.
[k]

＠Habetrot
The moment we get into higher altitudes, we won't know which way to float.

[charaTalk B]
[charaFace B 0]
[charaFadein B 0.1 1]

＠Tepeu
Hm? I don't understand. Gravity is the force of attraction, yes? So how could you lose track of which way to go when there's no gravity to attract you?
[k]

[charaFadeout B 0.1]
[wt 0.1]

[charaTalk D]
[charaFace D 0]
[charaFadein D 0.1 1]

＠Da Vinci
One of the key laws of the universe is that light things are attracted to heavy things.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
So, in the strictest sense, it's not really possible to go somewhere truly without gravity.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
In situations where you're floating in what we usually think of as zero gravity, it just means some other force is canceling out its effects.
[k]

[charaFace D 22]

＠Da Vinci
For example, even in outer space, light things will still be pulled in towards heavier things.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Based on what we saw, I think we'd be able to fall towards the oasis's landmass if we made it up that high.
[k]

[charaFace D 23]

＠Da Vinci
However, Habetrot's flight ability only lets her alleviate the force of attraction being exerted by the land she's currently standing on, so she can't float above ground unless she's touched that ground at least once.
[k]

[wt 0.1]

[charaTalk B]
[charaFace B 3]
[charaFadein B 0.1 1]

＠Tepeu
I see. So for her to fly above that oasis in the sky, she would first have to fall towards it and splat herself on its ground.

Did you really have to put it that way!? Also, I can totally float once I get near the ground, so I might still be able to save myself at the last second!

May I ask you all what would be the heaviest object you are aware of in your vicinity?

[charaFadein D 0.1 1]

＠Da Vinci
Oh, that's easy. Earth. It's got an approximate mass of six sextillion tons.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
With numbers like that, it's no wonder airplanes still fall towards the ground no matter how far away they get from it.

[charaFadeout D 0.1]

[charaTalk C]
[charaFace C 0]
[charaFadein C 0.1 1]

＠Kukulcan
But here, we can escape the pull of Earth's gravity if we can get four hundred meters above the ground, right?
[k]

＠Kukulcan
I know we said that was dangerous earlier, but couldn't it also help us get closer to the oases?
[k]

[charaFadeout C 0.1]

[charaFadein E 0.1 1]

＠Nitocris
Only if we had a way to navigate those strong winds. Neither Habetrot nor I can do that.
[k]

＠Nitocris
So we should stick to the ground and look for a safer way up to the oases from there.
[k]
