I think I quite like the town. I've never spent much time here, but there are quite a few shops here. Even if I'm pretty busy here. I'm still always taking offers to build.

I was wondering though, since the expedition has gotten back, but do we know of any roads or means of transit outside the Deadzone? Or is there no connection at all between those that live that far out.

Do we even have a suitable map? Updated at least?

[Cesare]

Speaking of transit, I have your radio controlled airplane. As promised.

Wait, town?

[How did she miss reading about that?]

There's a town in the castle?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

No. It's outside of the castle.

dictated

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh! Where outside?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

Down from the castle. It isn't far. You'll walk straight into it.

dictated

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That's so wonderful! What kind of shops did you find?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

Oh, there's plenty. You should spend a day walking around.

dictated

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Gosh, I'd love to!

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

It really is nice. A lot of us have shops, too. Though I wonder if there is a list floating out there. I'm sure you could ask on the journals.

dictated

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Hmmm... That might be an idea. Opening up a shop, I mean.

You... Build things, you said?

To my knowledge, this is the most up-to-date version of the map:

[And Raine will write a page number that corresponds to Lois Lane's last information post.]

[signedlefthanded]

Oh, yes. I did see that. I know nothing about the last expedition though. I was wondering if they've yet to go beyond it.

[ruin_mania]

If anyone has, they've not reported it to the castle at large. It would certainly be possible, as I believe someone mentioned some large ships up by the northern outpost? I wonder if anyone is keeping them in decent condition.

Though as it is, we've explored less than a tenth of this map, so there is still plenty left to learn about this continent.

[signedlefthanded]

How did we find out this information if we've yet to be there?

[ruin_mania]

The original map was found in a bookstore in town. The information beyond what we've explored was filled in by Lente, an individual of the First Generation who lives to the southeast. All the areas we've visited so far have conformed with her markings on the map, so they appear to be reliable.

[signedlefthanded]

I remember Lente. Interesting. [There's a pause while she thinks.]

But no one that we know of has gone beyond?

[ruin_mania]

No. Though we know very little of the First Generation's movements, so it's entirely possible that's where John Hammond and the others are now.

[signedlefthanded]

Guess it would make sense. Do we still think of them as a threat?

Violet

[abelard]

My thanks. Would you have me retrieve it?

Cesare

[signedlefthanded]

I can come to you if you would like.

Violet

[abelard]

If you would rather. I can currently be found in the library.

Cesare

[signedlefthanded]

I can be there in a half hour. See you soon.

[She's carrying a cardboard box, looking about the library. She knows it well, having spent a great deal of time there.]

[abelard]

[Cesare is in an alcove, seated at a table with some books, and waves her over.]

[signedlefthanded]

[She spots him and approaches.] Cesare, hello.

[abelard]

Violet. I trust you had no trouble finding me?

[signedlefthanded]

Not at all. I know this place very well. I hope I am not interrupting.
