[reengineered]

[Being suddenly with Prone and without her comrades is a shock. She doesn't know precisely what's going on, can't process it, is too shocked for logical thought. Something's terribly wrong.

She has to find out what.

Lucy is sort of used to typing now, has summoned the courage to put thoughts down key by key, but the thought of writing, actually writing, is slightly horrifying. Her thoughts are still a jumble, slow to organize and quick to overwhelm, but she has to say something. She has to know the answers to what and why and how.

Maybe she can just show it to whoever walks by. Her handwriting is shaky, hard to read, but she's done her best.]

Where am I? I need to get back.

[And if anyone happens to notice a short-haired, bedraggled young woman in full armor sitting in the foyer with wide, confused eyes, well... Feel free to say hello. There's a helmet balanced on one knee, and the journal open on the other.]

Let's All Get Prepared [ voice + action ]

[wishmadeinfire]

Good day my fellow residents.

As most of you know, there has been a planned expedition to inspect the meteor, and we will all be leaving soon - well, those of us wanting to go. I know for some this is their first time going, and so I thought I might offer myself as a resource. I know some of you may not have experience either on expeditions or 'roughing it' as they might say, but I am here to answer questions and offer advice on what to pack and bring with you. This includes those who intend to walk and those who intend to bring animals. 

If you are already packed and want to do a double check, remember, there is no guarantee this expedition will be a quiet one, and no guarantee of what we will meet. Every expedition has brought new revelations. As cliche as it sounds 'expect the unexpected' is as good a warning as any.

If you would like specific advice, just contact me and for those who do not know me - I am Ashura. I will also be down in the kitchen later if you want an on hands demonstration.

[ And with that done, Ashura closes the journal and heads down to said kitchen. It was a big space, and it would help with showing people what sort of foods to pack. He set out some of the basics he had learned over the years, and even included some clothing to bring as well. He intended to be thorough. A well prepared group would be more capable of meeting any threat than one that fumbled about, after all. ]

So... what do you do for fun? [The word 'fun' said with the most disdain one in the body of a seventeen-year-old can muster.]

[Sheena sighs as she props her journal on her lap, Yeleurk snoozing beside her. Idly stroking the soft fur, she opens the book and starts speaking.]

Hello. My name's Sheena Fujibayshi, and [oh god, this is hard] I need some help. I broke my leg in the recent earthquake, and... While I've taken some healing items, they don't do a complete job, and I really can't do much to help anyone with it like this.

I was wondering if there was someone with the ability to completely heal the bone and would be willing to help?

[Said in that unsure manner people get when asking for help when they don't want to sound like a douche.]

I'd really appreciate it!

And thanks!

 [Conan wakes up abruptly, sitting up and trying to scramble out of bed before he is even fully awake.  It is the pain that stops him.  Pain from all the injuries he had incurred in the last few hours and chosen to ignore until he could stop the bombings.

He looks around at the familiar site of the clinic and sighs.  So, he was back here again.  How disappointing.

Well, there were things to be done.  A quick assessment of his injuries told him that he needed to get them seen to.  The head injury wasn't bad.  He'd had worse there before.  But his shoulder.... Already he could see the edge of his sleeve turning red.  The blood was even starting to seep through his jacket at several spots.

Using his good hand Conan reaches for his journal and flips it open, being careful to avoid leaving any bloody fingerprints on the pages.]

What day is it?

Also, are there any doctors with some time?

People of Cair Paradisa, I see that you have done well to begin recovery of the city's oppressive damage. I would encourage further recuperation, as it is only through such open-hearted cooperation that we can find accord with one another. I have also heard tell of an idea for an orphanage, and I find this a much overdue and very welcome prospect.

As for the others wishing to seek answers in the great beyond, I also cannot discourage the pursuit of knowledge, especially regarding a land many seem to know so little of. In point of fact, you have more than my blessing; you will have my accompaniment.

Who will be leading the charge?

It seems like you lot are going out on another expedition. That's nice for you, try not to die and all that. Anyway, I can't go out there due to...reasons [ones that might make her snap and murder everyone the second they step back into a powered zone after being out of one for days] so I need you people going to do something for me.

You might recall last time, James Watson decided to bring back one of the birds that tried to kill you all. I'm sure most of you agree that this was a really bloody stupid idea and don't want it repeated. He'll be going on the this expedition, and so to keep your sanity and limbs intact, I have written this up, to aid you in stopping him from making your trip a possible death trap.

A LIST OF THINGS JAMES WATSON IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO ON THE EXPEDITION

* Bring back any living thing. Even if it looks harmless. Even if it doesn't have any teeth or claws. This is Paradisa and chances are if it looks harmless it's likely deadly.
* Bring back any dead thing.
* Touch something unusual without protective wear on. Gloves, and the like. Preferably a long stick.
* Lick anything that isn't food.
* Keep anything in camp to 'study'. He'll say he'll release it later. He won't. Don't believe him and his scientist lies.
* Go into the nests of things and take away eggs.
* Feed anything tea.

If you can make sure he follows these core rules, I'll be greatful. Oh, and if you needed any extra incentive, bear in mind if you die in the dead zone, you die forever. No come backs. Just something you ought to bear in mind.

Ok, short and sweet, this has been a week that deserves drinking.

I have two bottles of Glenfiddich 30 Year Old single malt Scotch.

I don't want to drink it alone.

If your interested, let me know.

[Luke really doesn't want to do this, but he did make a promise and he intends to go through with it. Luke flips open the journal, trying to think of the best way to ask this.]

...Could someone help me with cooking for a few days? I hurt my leg a few days ago, and I'm supposed to stay off it...

[As far as he knows, cooking is the only thing he really needs help with. But it still stinks that he's actually going to have to stay in bed for a few days.]

I'd be really grateful, and I'll definitely pay you back for it!
