[As always, Raine dictates in a pleasant voice, though this time it's tinged with a bit of frustration.]

I think the castle is rather determined not to let Aradia leave. Every time we would like to leave on an expedition, something seems to happen.

Therefore, we will be leaving next week on the morning of the twenty-first, losses or no losses. In the event of a world change, we will be leaving immediately after it is finished, if the twenty-first sees us in Asgard or wherever. [Okay, she'd really like to visit Asgard, but that's not the point.]

Anyone who would like to go, please be fully prepared by then. We'll be leaving no later than 8 AM. [And she underlines the time and date for emphasis once it's appeared on the page.]

Please feel free to contact Aradia Megido or myself if you have any questions.

[And she writes up a quick bulleted list:]

-Destination is Lastlook
-Part of the journey will be mounted or on carts
-Part will be by water
--If you have a Water-type Pokemon you would like to bring, I can teach it Surf
-Expected travel time is three weeks total, allowing for several days at destination

Percy Jackson checking in. And I'm pretty sure my girlfriend Annabeth Chase is coming along.

[he will never get tired of saying "my girlfriend"]

[Ah, young love. It's very cute.]

I'm glad to hear it. Will all the boats be fully tested by then, do you think?

[filter]

[waterproofed]

Oh, yeah, Annabeth's been helping me. I just hope I made enough.

[filter]

[ruin_mania]

I'll hope so as well, though I plan to have some inflatable rafts added to one of the carts in case of an emergency.

[Though for her part, she'll be riding Quagsire because boats are dumb.]

[waterproofed]

Not a bad idea. Never hurts to be prepard.

[ruin_mania]

Precisely. They have come in handy on expeditions before.

On a similar note, if you think of anything you feel may be useful, don't hesitate to bring it along if there's room. It is better to be overprepared.

[waterproofed]

Will do.

[You said it, Zelos.]

Indeed. I've been waiting far too long.

Great. The wagon-cottage should be finished by then. I'll leave some instructions on how to get it set up as a tent proper, but it's pretty straightforward.

[shrugs_a_lot]

How many expeditions have you been on?

[ruin_mania]

Oh, excellent. How many would it sleep, do you think?

[ruin_mania]

Oh, most of them, though I'm afraid I didn't make it to Libet. I rather like exploration, you see.

[shrugs_a_lot]

Sounds like it.

So you can tell me how they usually turn out in matters of danger?

[wilder]

Way too long! I could seriously do with a change of scenery!

[She doesn't know you, so she's a little hesitant when she speaks.]

Er...I'm going as well, Aradia invited me. My name is Jane Crocker.

[ruin_mania]

They're usually quite peaceful, though we've run into danger a time or two. I'd strongly recommend bringing a weapon that doesn't rely on magic or technology, for self-defense if nothing else.

[Fortunately, Raine has that reassuring teacher voice.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Jane. My name is Raine Sage. Have you been to the Dead Zone before?

[ruin_mania]

Despite that we were only recently sent on a "vacation", hmm?

[She knows it's not the same, but that's not the point.]

[shrugs_a_lot]

Alright.

[A beat.]

Thanks for the info.

[ino]

I-I'll be there ... [a pause] U-um, and I think m-my, um, my boyfriend is c-coming too ...

[wilder]

Heh, I don't think I'm gonna count anything that alters your memories to be a "vacation".

[Even if okay, his original memories suck BUT WHATEVER]

[ruin_mania]

I suppose that's fair. It has been entirely too long since we've learned anything about this world, though, I think.
