[Business time. Written:]

For those of us who met either of us on our child loss, if you hadn't noticed: Legato and I are back to our normal ages. And also back out in the dead zone. [Fortunately.]

I spoke recently with Zexion, when the world changed to the Pokémon world. He informed me that the first gens have mostly departed, and seemed to indicate that they were fleeing something. Though obviously this hints there might be danger out in the dead zone right now, it's also an opportunity for us to explore without fearing attack from them while this lasts and I think we ought to take advantage of it. I know Aradia was planning an expedition too so this might be ideal timing.

He also informed me that in summer, the rivers on what he referred to as the "Totem Coast" open out and let people travel very quickly. I suggest we consider pushing in that direction and maybe making some vessels. This might be a good opportunity for us.

[She's damn well determined to get in on any expeditions that happen too, Legato-watching or no Legato-watching. He can go back in the cells for the trips, for all she cares. Speaking of Legato... thinking on him...]

[Lady Caterina Sforza]

Hello, can I ask for a word with you?

[Legato squad]

I've been out here keeping an eye on the creep for a while now. I think you know who I mean - Legato Bluesummers. Blue hair, yellow eyes, murderous tendencies? I'm thinking I would like a break for a while. Would anyone be interested in relieving me?

I'm hoping we can actually put together rotating teams to help take care of this, as it's wearing for one person to do this.

He's been decently behaved, at least.

[Raine, Jun, Sakura and Eva]

Welcome back, you guys. Sorry I didn't say hello sooner, but I didn't remember most of you. How're you all doing?

[Galadriel]

Hey... I guess you don't have anymore babysitting to do right now, huh?

[Whew, long entry. At least it's done.

For anyone who might be in the outpost, now, Rin is sitting in the common room, paging through the journal quietly. There's a glass of water and a plate with a whole avocado and some bread and grapes next to her, but it doesn't seem like she's touched her food yet. Maybe she's just relaxing?

Open, of course.]

Rin

[inafadingcrown]

And for that I am grateful. You were a charming child.

Galadriel forever

[payback]

Did I tell you that I met Legato when he was a kid before? It makes him make a lot more sense, I guess, but it doesn't make him any easier to deal with.

I hope it wasn't too much trouble.

Rin forever

[inafadingcrown]

You did not. It was, indeed rather telling, but also rather tiring. I had not thought to spend my time preventing one child from drowning another.

Regardless, you are not to blame for what trouble it did cause.

Rin

[midget]

I'm hurt. My welcome is lumped in with those losers'?

Evangeline;

[payback]

You're my friend just like they are! Since you're all my friends, yes.

Rin

[ruin_mania]

Thank you very much, of course. It's been a bit interesting to become resettled, of course, but it shouldn't be much longer before I feel as much at home as I ever have.

Now, in which direction is this Totem Coast? I can't say I'd be comfortable with the idea of going anywhere in a boat, but I'd be interested in the rest of an expedition out there, of course.

Raine;

[payback]

The Totem Coast is westwards of us, I guess. ... And maybe if we had a raft or something you could take Tad alongside.

Anyway, I'm glad you're back. I missed you, Raine.

Legato Squad GO!

[kungfuwitch]

I can help. Just let me know when you'd like me to take over and I'll be there.

Legato squad forever!

[payback]

I'm gonna see if I can't get a group going, so you won't have to be here alone. Also, don't take it personally, but I'd like it if you talked to Galadriel first, just because I don't know you and... well, it's been proved that the first gens have infiltrated us before.

[that first filter]

[waterproofed]

So does that mean we're going out exploring again? I'm in!

forever!

[payback]

I hope it means that! I know Aradia was thinking of putting something together at very least, even if it's a while before we head to the coasts.

One way or another it's an ideal time to trek out.

Rin

[ironlady]

You may. What is on your mind?

Lady Caterina

[payback]

... I'm gathering up people... anyway, I know this is sudden, but I wondered if you'd want to take over managing things regarding Legato.

Legato Squad

[spiritusaequitas]

Sure, I can come help fer a bit, now that th' wedding's over. How long were y' thinkin'?

Legato squad forever!

[payback]

I'm hoping we can get two week shifts set up, or something like that, so no one will have to be out there all the time. If we get enough people we can rotate it out hopefully so that people will only be out there every couple months.

Also, don't take it personally, but I want everyone to talk to Galadriel before they come out here to do duty.

Legato Filter

[mal_addict]

I'm up to my neck in wedding plans until the end of the month, but after that, I'm all yours.

Legato squad forever!

[payback]

Yeah, I'm not going to rush anyone, I'm happy they're taking this on. Have you met Galadriel, by the way?

Legato Squad

[foolreversed]

Do you mind if I relieve the next person? I know I still need to talk to... you said her name was Gala...drey...al? [hey he tried okay, he is bad with names, especially fancy names :'|] Right?

That and I'm up to my ears right now in misbehaving "pets".

Legato squad forever!

[payback]

Yeah, Galadriel - you have it. I don't mind, I know everyone is busy and I'm glad you're willing to take this on even part time. I hope nothing too stressful is going on?

Rin

[loisfuckinglane]

I take it this is an incredibly recent development?

Lois;

[payback]

The first generation moving out, you mean? It is at least as far as I know. I talked to Zexion fairly recently.

Rin

[youfallback]

I agree, we should explore as much as possible while we're here.

If you take a team out, I'll be on it.

Carolina;

[payback]

Excellent, thanks for responding. The more the merrier.

Rin

[psych0p0mps]

my expeditions not ready yet
the outpost is taking longer than i thought and i keep forgetting to pick up the transportalizers
but yeah if the first gens are gone for the moment then we ought to kick this project into high gear!

wait were you watching legato by yourself this whole time?
geez you should have said something sooner
ill help if you need
...

[... Wait a sec.]

hang on
i knew you were a kid but
legato was too?

Aradia forever;

[payback]

[Take it from... the bottom.]

Yeah... Legato was also a kid. If you'd have seen him you'd probably have known him. He's just this scrawny little thing when he's young with lots of blue hair and big yellow eyes. A lot like he looks when he's grown up and yet a lot different, if that makes any sense at all.

You can kinda tell he came from a terrible situation really. Anyway - I don't want to impose on you, but if you want to trade off keeping him in line with me, that'd be great.
