We've just arrived to our location, for those of you not with us. I know it's early on our second day here, however I thought it best to put this out here now. Someone's mentioned the talking giraffes earlier, but think of this as a place to talk about anything we've found out here, not just them, think of this as a way to compare notes with one another.

For my efforts I've discovered they have an amazing variety of fruit juices.

[He has amazing priorities, can't you tell?]

ooc: This is just a catch all compare notes post post for the expedition, thread jack all you like about what you've learned.

[wilder]

An amazing variety of juices...yeah that's a great tidbit I'll write it in the report.

[a sigh] Alright lemme look at my notes.

AND EVER

[greatesthitman]

When the list is longer than what most people realize is possible, it's one to add to the list. Have you seen any place where they may make over ten varieties of cranberry juice?

[wilder]

No, but to be fair I never cared enough to look.

[a few page flippings and a pause before he jots down these condensed notes]

- They got this place called a Mirror Control room, where there are reflections of various people (castle residents too) and they change their appearances.
- They claim it helps keeps things running and they change the reflections to reflect things they do not have.
- Wouldn't tell me why or what's the point of doing this indepth because I'm not a giraffe.
- I tried to guess instead, but they wouldn't let me thanks to a "No Theorising" rule
- The whole thing's some sort of job, they share half the work with the Irish who are in Ireland.
- They observe phases of the moon
- They're scared of ladders and the dark
- They don't seek out information, they just take information they get from their leaders and say that's all they need. Knowledge is "gained", not shared.
- Leaders are giraffes.
- They watch movies?
- Also really into their patches. Big ones mean they are intelligent and beautiful.
- The thing that fell from the sky is out in the grasslands. None of them have gone to investigate it because it hasn't interrupt their work.

[greatesthitman]

Food can run a society, Zelos, out here it's worth noting.

[And oh that's an interesting bunch of notes.]

There's an Ireland out here or are they going between worlds?

[wilder]

Alright, alright.

[Right, notice food next time. Sigh]

I have no idea, they wouldn't say anything beyond "they're in Ireland". It's weird to think that Paradisa could bring in a whole country though.

[greatesthitman]

[At least Zelos has his respect and isn't being called his no-good student?]

Perhaps not an entire country, but people from it who formed a community by that name. Familiar names making their lives easier.

[wilder]

Yeah, I guess it could be possible.

Oh- I forgot something:

- If a person commits a crime in Terre Haute, the punishment is wearing a false mustache.

[greatesthitman]

[And thus, Reborn is suitably distracted!]

...Do you have a list of possible crimes to commit while here?

[wilder]

Not really, I was stuck by how stupid it sounded to ask.

[greatesthitman]

We could always ask Tsuna, I'm sure he could stumble upon local laws and break them.

[Someone should really stop him before he does this...]

[wilder]

Heh heh, as fun as it is to torment him, let's nooot use him as a guinea pig to figure out local law enforcement.

[greatesthitman]

You're assuming my no-good student won't stumble across them himself. But true, I don't think Colonnello would appreciate that challenge if they got violent.

[wilder]

...Yeah, because that's why it'd be a bad idea.

[jeez mafia people. MOVING ON]

Anyway! One of the giraffes made a big deal about the dark, so I decided to check it out if there's anything to it. Which...other than finding that another student of mine sneaked out, there wasn't anything worth note.

Then again, maybe I got lucky.

[greatesthitman]

[Yup moving on!]

The girl, right? [Hmm.] We'll need caution then, if the locals are afraid, though it would explain why they've created a way to light this place, even if it's unknown yet how or what it is they're afraid of.

[Guess whose going to stalk the night now?]

[wilder]

Well it sure wasn't Tsuna. [Such the rule follower him!]

Yeah, I know. Even if the giraffes seem out of their minds, it's still something to keep in mind.

[greatesthitman]

Only about as obsessive as some, I have seen far worse both here and home.

Do you know where that item is that fell out into the grasslands, or is it just out there?

[wilder]

Just that it's out there, unfortunately. I doubt they know the exact location since none of them went to check it out.

[greatesthitman]

Best done in the day time then, we could find a group and head out if you're interested. Probably shouldn't be too large, in case something happens.

[wilder]

Sounds fine with me. I know I'd be up for going, I hate this town.

[not_mafia]

I can read this, you know. [Hi tutor!]

[greatesthitman]

[You're paying attention, student!]

Then you know what I'm going to say.

[not_mafia]

[aksjdhgw]

I'm not going to go and harass the giraffes for your entertainment, Reborn!

[greatesthitman]

It's not my entertainment, Tsuna. [That's just a byproduct.] It's so we know what we can and can not do.

[The Doctor has his own notes, but doesn't need to consult them for this piece of information.]

Wonderful place isn't it, fascinating wildlife. Although I was more interested in how they have working electric lights inside Terre Haute considering it's in the catchment of the Dead Zone, rather an important fact, don't you think?

Filter

[greatesthitman]

[This is a good point, and Reborn really hadn't thought to mention it as he thought others might have.]

Nothing so surprising as what I am used, the wildlife, though the fact that it talks is something. But yes, the presence of electricity is something of note, have you seen anywhere it might come from?

Filter

[toobravehearted]

Sadly, not yet. Nothing that is so obvious, which is frustrating. Investigations are still being carried out. Which leads me to another question, actually, albeit rhetoric. Where did they get the lightbulbs?

[Or, how many giraffes does it take to change a bulb...?]

Filter Forever!

[heal_theworld]

...Fruit juices?

[Reborn, what were you doing yesterday.]

Apparently their founder was named Stuart. ...He's also a tree.

[...Yeah, she's got nothing.]

and ever!

[greatesthitman]

[Hitting the juice bar nbd.]

There's a juice bar, I went there for information and was offered over ten varieties of cranberry juice alone and I think the giraffe would have gone on more if I hadn't chosen already.

[Yup.]

...A tree. I don't suppose you know if trees can talk?

[heal_theworld]

...They must really like juice.

And on my world they certainly can't, but they can move. We have plant monsters, like Torents and Plantix. [Pause.] Though if he could, we'll never know, since it seems like he's dead. There's a sculpture of him in the town square.

[greatesthitman]

[He's tugging at his sideburns, even if she can't see it at that information, hrmm...] Are we sure it's a sculpture and not some tree creature in hibernation?

[Just you know, making sure here.]

[heal_theworld]

I'm...not sure. [How does one tell that?]

Or it could be his dead body that they carved into a sculpture.

[toobravehearted]

That is a rather morbid when put that way, Martel.

I posed the question that if the sculpture is a representation of "Stuart", then where are others like him?

[heal_theworld]

Just a bit.

...The tree at Mineas Well could have been similar, now that I think about it.

[toobravehearted]

Mineas Well. I've read a little about that. Unfortunately the records pertaining to it preceed the journal that I have. Can I ask if you could share what you know, and why you think this tree in Terre Haute to be similar?

[heal_theworld]

Mm. I don't know much. I went there once, and the tree seemed alive, in a way. It couldn't talk, but it seemed far more than a normal tree.

[toobravehearted]

So you're saying the tree was aware? Just the one, there?
