Yet another Expedition Discussion

[waterproofed]

[you know how this filter goes by now: only to people who won't use it for ill purposes, away from malicious First Gens, etc]

Hey, everybody. So I'm going to stay in Fairfield for a while. Heath gave me his journal, which is pretty cool of him. I'll hand it over to somebody going back to the castle if you want to look it over. It doesn't seem to be working with our journals but you smart types might still learn something from it.

Oh, and he told me he and his group were from Draconis. I forget which castle that was, but he said it went insane. Creepy.

Anyway, take care of the horses for me, will ya? I kinda promised them a lot of sugar cubes when they got back to the stables. So... yeah.

Huh, I guess there's a fairly sizable group of us staying behind.

[waterproofed]

Feels like the right thing to do, you know? Leaving when we didn't really do much feels like a job half-done.

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah, that's why I'm staying. I don't know how much help we can be. But at least putting fences back up is doing something.

[waterproofed]

Right! Rebuilding is just as important as fighting off bug aliens.

[schrodingersghost]

Total agreement here.

[waterproofed]

Did you get to talk to Heath? He's actually a pretty cool guy!

[schrodingersghost]

Nah, I got put on fence repair duty. Didn't really get to meet any of the locals.

[waterproofed]

I'll introduce you! We need to keep up friendships with these guys.

[schrodingersghost]

Seriously? Awesome!

[waterproofed]

He's probably with Dr. Brewer helping everyone rebuild.

[schrodingersghost]

Maybe I'll head over there next, then.

[tylendel]

I'll look after the horses for you if you like. I spend a lot of time around the stables as it is. (He has his reasons and, surprisingly, not all of them are sad. He has been thinking about wishing for a regular horse for sometime.) My name is Tylendel.

[waterproofed]

Oh, yeah. The horses talk about you. My name's Percy.

[acesarewild]

Have no fear, Horse Whisperer, I'm on it.

[waterproofed]

Just Percy, dude.

[acesarewild]

[aw come on, he liked the nickname]

Any particular place I should go for supplies? I can find the stables easy enough, but ...

[waterproofed]

[it's better than the horses calling him "Lord" or "boss"]

I go in the kitchen for apples and carrots and things like that. The hippogriff eats dead ferrets, and the chocobo eats these weird greens the horses say are "gyshal".

[acesarewild]

.... The whattygriff now?

[waterproofed]

Hippogriff. The front half is a bird and the back half is a horse.

[acesarewild]

Sounds like something off a Greek urn, if you ask me.

[waterproofed]

Heh. Yeah, you'd be right about that.

[acesarewild]

... Soooooo are there any centaurs running around here I need to worry about, then?

[waterproofed]

Nah, they're okay most of the time. Just really crazy. Anyway, you'd know if they were around.

[acesarewild]

You're the resident expert. I defer to your ... [he realizes how absurd this is going to sound and still rolls with it anyway] seniority.

[exaggerated AHEM]

How long you gonna be out there? Are they gonna start thinking I might'a killed you and buried you in the backyard?

[waterproofed]

Nah, I'll be back soon. I just wanna help these guys out and let them know they can count on us for stuff.

[acesarewild]

Hokey-dokey. I'll ... do my best to hold down the fort. As it were.
