[i_got_this]

[It's been a rough month for South, between the cat incident, an intense conversation with Carolina, and then everyone around her going insane and Washington threatening to kill her, slowly and painfully, because of the virus.]

[Suffice it to say, she sounds a bit subdued when she cracks the journal open.]

So, I think I've had enough of this place for one month. I'm going to head out to one of the outposts, haven't decided which, just ... just need to get away for a while.

Catch me if you need me today, I'll be heading out in a couple hours. Otherwise, use the journal. No guarantees I'll respond.

Filtered to Carolina

I know this is probably not ... I mean, I'm not expecting much, but, you think those Spartans could let me borrow a mongoose? Just to take me to an outpost.


[She'll be up in her room packing, and then wandering through the lobby and across the grounds. Feel free to catch her at any of those places!]

[encryptedlock]

Take care of yourself out there. I still owe you one for making me come to my senses, so if you need anything, just let me know.

South (got permission for this)

Noble Two said the mongoose is York's. He said just to not crash it.

[By now, Carolina's used to people needing breaks from the castle. It still sucks that it's one of her team moving out of reach, but understandable.]

I've got the keys in my quarters.

[rockinout]

[Someone who knows her! This should be interesting... But then she's got an actual question, whoops.]

Outposts?

York

[i_got_this]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

You have any suggestions which outpost I should visit?

Carolina

[i_got_this]

I think I can manage that.

I'll come pick them up on my way out?

[i_got_this]

Yeah. There are a few outposts just outside the botder of the powered zone. The castle can't pull its shit there, so it's like a little vacation from magical bullshit land here.

[rockinout]

Oh, wow, that's cool.

[i_got_this]

Yeah. Well, I mean, nothing works outisde the powered zone, so I won't have a microwave or my armor,but at least I won't have to worry about people freaking out for no good reason.

[rockinout]

Had it rough, huh?

[originalcopy]

This place has outposts...?

[onlyanapple]

Try not to die.

[i_got_this]

[She can't help a short, bitter laugh.] Yeah, it's -- it's been rough.

[i_got_this]

Yeah, out where shit doesn't work. But the castle can't get me there, either, so at this point I'm willing to rough it for some peace of mind.

[i_got_this]

You know, that's why I'm going there in the first place? It's getting difficult trying to do that here.

Want to share a drink with me before I go? I don't know what the alcoholic provisions are like, out there. [And yes she is taking her own stash, but a little sendoff would be nice.]

[onlyanapple]

Bear in mind, though, out there it's permanent. Much more irritating, you'll have to agree.

[He pauses in consideration] Yeah, sure, why not. And they're probably not all that great. Hope you're prepared.

[originalcopy]

As long as they actually have all four walls, they can't be any worse than some of the shit holes I've been stuck in.

Good luck with the peace of mind thing.

If you think you find it let me know, because I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually exist.

[i_got_this]

Four walls and a roof! [Yup, she'll be living the high life out there.]

NNo, I know it's a long shot, but it's got to be better then dealing with body-part-stealing-cats and teammates turning nasty and shit like that.

[i_got_this]

At this point I'll take my chances.

If by 'prepared' you mean a couple bottles of hard liquor and an assortment of six-packs, then we agree. I did have to pack less underwear, but I think I'll manage.

South

[encryptedlock]

I think Eva's at the north one? That one and the west were in the best condition, last I heard.

[onlyanapple]

Is there any other type of preparing than that?

So, where are we going to have this final sendoff drinking blitz?

York

[i_got_this]

Who's Eva?

... and what kind of condition is 'best condition'? [Suddenly worried. Are there going to be cockroaches trying to crawl in her ears?]

[i_got_this]

Not really.

Let's meet at the Lux, do it in style. [Meaning she'll be there in her traveling clothes with a largish duffel bag.]

South

Evangeline McDowell. Says she's a ruthless vampire supervillain, but she sure looks and acts like a thirteen-year-old girl who likes cake and frilly dresses. Old friend of mine.

Best meaning clean, well-maintained, and repaired from the explosive damage from about a year ago when the assholes decided to blow it up.

[onlyanapple]

Sounds like fun. I'll be right there~

[Right there being about an hour later because screw you all he does what he wants]

York

[i_got_this]

[Wow. Really, York? The company you keep. :| ] West it is.

What assholes? [No one tells her anything. :| ]
