Winchester/Fairfield Expedition - Depature

[winfield]

[After working for roughly a day and a half, nearly nonstop for some of you, the town's looking both healthier and hardier. With most (if not all) of the expeditioners contributing to reparation and building, you've managed to get a lot of work done: all the buildings have at least been patched up to some extent, and the poor broken fence is now standing and sturdy. You've even managed to get together a couple outposts. Nothing fancy-- they're just elevated platforms, really-- but they serve their purpose of allowing people to see far out quite well.

It's probably best to start heading back now, though, since you need the supplies you brought to last you the trip home.]

[Phoebe thinks about it for a moment.]

I'd like to stay. It might be less intimidating with fewer of us hanging around. Who knows what else we could learn by being here for a little while longer.

[encryptedlock]

Glad to hear it. And besides, there's more than enough room here for all of us, especially if we split up, maybe hang out in Winchester if they need the space.

[kungfuwitch]

[She nods]

A change of scenery is nice once in a while, too. I heard that everyone in the castle was sent here at some point. That was before my time so I never got to visit.

[encryptedlock]

Yeah, it was just over four years ago, now. At the end there was a tornado, so we all took shelter in one of the storm cellars and popped out int he Insolitus.

[kungfuwitch]

A tornado? [she winces] No thank you. Earthquakes I can deal with but tornadoes are not my cup of tea. I have to say that's one of the more interesting ways I've heard of everyone getting back to the castle, though.

[encryptedlock]

Yeah, pretty unique, if you ask me. They say there was a flood that washed away all of New York, but of course that was before I ever got here. [Not that he's bitter about missing his hometown, or anything like that.]

[kungfuwitch]

Oh man. I was here for the flood before we went to that world with the pokemon and that was enough for me.

[encryptedlock]

And of course when we got back, everything was fine. I'm pretty sure the castle does some kind of...I don't know, system restore point every so often. Like the time people actually blew up the castle and it reset everything to the way it had been three weeks before.

[kungfuwitch]

I heard about that one. It was a couple years before my time, I think. I can still hardly believe it happened, though.

[encryptedlock]

Well, things were...a little desperate.

[Like he'd thought he was a townsperson. That he really belonged in Paradisa. Just a little worrying to his friends, of course.]
