[Today, you can find Xena in one of the seedier bars in town, a map of Paradisa spread out in front of her, making little marks on it in between drinks and dictating into her journal.]

[People who would care]

So if I took off for a while to stretch my legs, none of you would freak out, right? [At least she's giving you a heads up and not just disappearing? She's fairly new about this "having people who would worry about her" thing, okay?] Not right away, but I'm thinking about it.

Make sure to take food with you.

[forgedinbattle]

Oh, I will. This isn't my first time around.

[mom_to_us_all]

Didn't think it was, but a little reminder doesn't hurt.

Will you be traveling alone?

[forgedinbattle]

Probably. Unless someone really wants to tag along.

Only if you wind up dead.

[forgedinbattle]

It's not that easy to get rid of me.

[likethetragedy]

I had a feeling. Still it's the only thing that will tempt me to "freak out."

[forgedinbattle]

I didn't really figure I had to worry about you.

Xena;

[goldencirclet]

Have fun!

Goku

[forgedinbattle]

I will, when I do end up going. You too, okay?

Xena;

[goldencirclet]

Of course! Yer gonna be careful if ya go t'the Dead Zone, right?

Goku

[forgedinbattle]

Sure. Don't worry about it too much. I'm used to this sort of thing.

Stay safe?

[forgedinbattle]

I will. [Unless it's more fun not to...] Pretty sure I can handle it out there.

[gevurah]

Where exactly are you going?

[forgedinbattle]

Haven't quite decided yet. If I'm honest, I'm just not used to sticking around in one place this long. Sort of feeling the need to wander.

Ooh, out to see the great outdoors?

[forgedinbattle]

Thinking about it. You seen much around here?

[optimystic]

[dramatic siiiiiiigh]

I went camping once! But then there was a big explosion, and everyone told me to come back, so I didn't get to see much.

And the other time, the castle just picked me up and dropped me in the dead zone. That wasn't fun.

Most people need a break from the Castle. If you need back-up, you know how to reach me.

[forgedinbattle]

Sure thing. Thanks.

[youfallback]

Take care of yourself out there.

You're definitely not the first person I know here who has.

If you run into a little girl named Rue, though, tell her I said hi. She's ... a friend of a friend, kind of doing the same thing.

Gale

[forgedinbattle]

How old are we talking here? [Because little girl alone in the wilderness= Xena worries]

Xena, to end

[fanstheflame]

She's twelve. But she's from the same place as me ... she knows how to survive out there.

[unless you're armed with a spear, which is another story, god I'm a horrible person]
