34 traps filled

[ectobabble]

[there's a groan over the journals]

Wow. Um. ... So ... if a little mechanical thing got into anyone's bunks some time before everything changed back, uh. It's kind of a little bit my fault, so I'm really really sorry ... and someone remind me that just because you feel like you're in college again doesn't mean you can still drink like it.

Ugh.

[he may or may not have slept through most of his first day back at the castle. drunk science, you are a cruel mistress.]

But hey, today's another day, right? Who else signed up at the outpost for the expedition to Lastlook?

[schrodingersghost]

Okay? Sounds like someone had an entertaining time at half-god camp.

...An expedition? I haven't heard anything about that.

[fly_little_bird]

I did! I want to see what else is out there.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Sob hangovers are the worst thing. Why did no one tell him about them]

My brain hurts so bad, what is even going on right now.

[ruin_mania]

I'll be going, of course, though I haven't yet heard what we intend to do about the departure date. We were originally supposed to leave on the 24th, but we were a bit...well, at camp.

[atrophied]

Just a friendly reminder: the clinic is not equipped to treat hangovers. Wish for a bottle of Motrin or drink more. Have a nice day.

[ectobabble]

Yeah, that's definitely one way to put it. It was pretty great, up until the tequila happened, I think.

I think. It gets a little fuzzy after the tequila.

Anyway, yeah! My friend Aradia's putting it together, she had a signup at the grand opening party for her outpost.

[ectobabble]

Oh, good! The more the merrier, I think! I'm Ray... What's your name?

[ectobabble]

Hangovers, camp buddy. ... Just keep pushing water, that'll help eventually ... and try to stay away from loud noises.

[ectobabble]

Yeeeeah, funny how that tends to happen around here. I'm sure Aradia will let everyone know when she's ready to get ... well, uh. Ready. You doin' okay?

[ectobabble]

Oh, hey, thanks. [he chuckles] It's hardly my first hangover, I'll live.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Groan] I am never doing that again. My tongue feels like a sponge.

Is that normal?

[schrodingersghost]

Huh, must have missed that.

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

[psych0p0mps]

i did

[ruin_mania]

Suffice it to say that "halfblood" isn't anything of a positive term in my native world, and you may imagine how I've spent the past week or so.

[That and drama from castmates...Raine's had better weeks.]

[fly_little_bird]

My name's Rue. It's nice to meet you, Ray.

[ectobabble]

You can probably still filter to her and tell her you're interested in going, if you want! I'm sure she wouldn't say no to extra help.

[ectobabble]

Nice to meet you too, Rue. That's a really pretty name. How long've you been here?

[ectobabble]

The sponge thing? It's normal for a hangover, yeah. Give it time, it'll go away. You're just dehydrated. Was that your first time getting drunk?

[ectobabble]

Oh, geez, I'm sorry to hear that. At least you ... don't have to deal with it anymore?

[ectobabble]

[he laughs] Well, glad to hear it. Hey, are you still taking sign ups? My friend Danny missed the party, and I think he might be interested in going.

[whichwayyoulean]

Oh good. That's good to know.

Yeah. Alcohol really isn't a thing in my world. I don't think. [IT IS A LAND OF INNOCENCE]

[ruin_mania]

Indeed. An expedition may be exactly what I need.

[ectobabble]

It's not? Well, geez, no wonder you had too much. Now I feel kinda bad for not trying to help you take it easy. Then again, I kinda got right into it, myself. It's been a while since I was able to just jam on ideas and stuff like that with a bunch of people - I got a little carried away.

[ectobabble]

I hope we get to go soon, then. [she can probably hear the smile] S'there anything I can help you do to get ready before we do?

[you know. to help take her mind off it]

[ruin_mania]

Well, if you could find my mongoose-dragon, it seems to have vanished from the stables.
