Quara:
Quara carefully picked her way through the brush in the area around the hot spring, drawn there by two things. Burnroot, a rare alchemical ingredient she needed to continue her research, and an Alraune. She wasn't here for the Alraune personally, her interest was in the why and how the plant-woman was living here. They were farther north than most of the plant-women could live comfortably, and apparently this one was well-established here. When she had heard about the Alraune, she had figured there must be some secret to the hot spring that allowed her to live there, and perhaps what same factor would make it an ideal place to not only find rare alchemical ingredients, but it could prove a good place to set up shop if she were interested in growing her own supplies.
It was certainly out of the way enough, and she wasn't positive the burnroot would be here, but it was the most likely place she could think of. A solid half-hour off the nearest trail, unwanted visitors would not be a common problem here. Still, Qara had been searching for the burnroot for awhile now, and she was growing impatient. This impatience caused her to get frustrated and not be as cautious as she should have been. Thinking she saw a burnroot plant, she bent down and spread some brush aside. However instead of finding the rare burnroot she found a rare, for this part of the world, shorn weed blossom and receiving a pollen shot to the face.
Given Qara's alchemy background, she knew exactly what she was looking at, and while she normally would have been looking out for shorn weeds in a known Alraune habitat, she had figured it would be too cold for them to grow. Though it would seem whatever effect the hot spring had extended to the phallic plants as well. Despite this nasty surprise, Qara had the wherewithal to hold her breathe and leap backwards, though not without inhaling enough of the pollen to get her hot and bothered, though not mindlessly horny. Unfortunately, the reflexive backwards leap put the Su-Ku-Ta woman on a downwards slope, off-balancing her and sending her from backwards leap to backwards tumble. She rolled down the hill, and landed in the hotspring, coming to rest on top of a very surprised Alraune.
Joey:
The day was proving rather uneventful for Joey. It was going much the same as the day before, and the day before that, and the day before... The plant-woman was left to her own devices, and right now she was just enjoying some of the pretty plants and rocks she had collected from around her spring. These were actually extremely valuable alchemical ingredients, though of course Joey knew nothing of such things, to her they were just interesting little things to look at, collect, and play with. In truth, she was actually quite good at collecting different things like this, it was like a game to her. Right now she was weaving a crown out of pretty flowers that also just happened to come from a burnroot plant.
The Alraune was quite absorbed in her work, so she didn't realize anything out of the ordinary was afoot until she she heard a crash as a cat-girl burst through the underbrush around her spring, knocking the both of them over into the water.

OOC:
I will normally give rolls for something like a shorn weed ambush, but for this the consequences aren't all that serious and it just seemed like the best way to introduce your characters.
So go interact and I will post when appropriate.
I'm leaving it open as for what specifically Qara is researching, just figured I'd throw out a bs ingredient to explain why she's in the area.
