[Noah is in his workshop, the journal resting beside him, propped up by a couple of books. He's been reading, listening, and working on a few things people have ordered. One piece is a leather vest fitted onto a tailor's mannequin, turned so that only the back is visible.

[He's taken a break from his leathers to carve. He's holding a palm-sized chunk of wood, slowly teasing something out of it with a sharp pocket knife.]

I've not had th' chance t' see too much of th' land beyond th' city, but I know some of ye have. I've heard about th' dead zone an' th' outpost, but I've not been here long enough t' hear the tales. I've done some readin' in th' library, but that only goes so far.

I'm askin' ye to tell me a story. Where ye've been, what ye've seen, where ye might go again.

I can tell you a story! What kind of story would you like to hear?

[This will not end well.]

sorry for such a late response D:

[sixguns]

Anywhere ye might have been around th' city or beyond would be lovely.

No worries :D

Before being taken from my world, I was a soldier for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and we were protecting our nation from an invasion of ugly sea creatures. I was captured by one of the things and brought to its undersea lair, where it was planning to have its way with me. Luckily, I was saved in the nick of time by the castle, which snatched me literally out of the beast's clutches.

[Editor's note: Not one word of this account is true.]

Hmm. Well, I've been to a number of places, but a place that could use a bit more exploration in my opinion is the Pillar Fields. It's a large area to the northwest with hundreds of pillars of various heights, from only a few inches to dozens of feet tall. The whole area is suffused with a feeling of playfulness, and it turned out that one of the pillars has a button - when pressed, it expanded the area inside the powered zone so that it became its current size, rather than merely extending out a day's walk as it had before.

so sorry for lateness... D:

[sixguns]

How large is it now?

[You've got Noah's attention.]

Pillars of rough stone, or carved?

[He's already curious how it's all laid out, imagining a great henge of some sort.]

[ruin_mania]

Difficult to see one end from the other, though I don't believe we got exact measurements. Standing as high as one can, it's easy to see both ends.

They were smooth, as if manufactured, and all approximately the same shape. I have a map of the layout on file in the library, if you'd like to see it some time?
