[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

That's because if it's happened to you, you don't remember it.

But don't worry, not many reach as many times as I have.

[wilder]

Where were you working?

[heal_theworld]

Make up constellations? Well...you just look for patterns in the stars, yeah? That's what people did when they made them up in the first place. Like...there. [She points.] That group of stars looks like a flower with a stem and three petals.

[Sheena had closed her eyes briefly to enjoy the cool water, and started when she opened them to reveal his sudden upside-down presence. He'd do her grandfather proud in the stealth department.

She blinks a moment in surprise before smiling warmly.]

Hi, Cloud. What brings you out here?

[ino]

I made enough for everyone. [she'll smile] Got a bowl?

[persequor]

A shop in the city.

1/2

[ino]

I'll have you know I'm heavily armed. [LMAO]

[fly_little_bird]

But what are you gonna use?

[ino]

[ ... and when he does that, she'll let out a little sigh. FIIIINE ARTHUR FINE. she'll take the flower]

You play dirty, you know that? [but she's grinning]

[wilder]

Which one?

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Tilts his head several times as he tries to see some pattern there...]

That's not a flower...

[gevurah]

I'm alright. [ A pause. ] We're both first timers on the expedition.

[ But Tsuna is still young, so. ]

You think you can handle it?

[fly_little_bird]

[She smiles and nods, moving closer.]

Yup. And you're Zelos, right?

[i_got_this]

[While there's a part of her that's trying to keep strong in front of Carolina, she is hoping that a little honesty might keep her out of a watch shift. She leans forward and supports her forehead in her hands]

[Sounding every bit like how she looked,] Uuuuuuuuugh. Shoot me now.

[wilder]

The great one and only.

[persequor]

You're not going to show up there, are you?

[shrugs_a_lot]

The expedition. [Smartass... He smirks a little though.]

[not_mafia]

Oh, is that so?

I wonder why it decided to keep you so long this time.

[psych0p0mps]

[She sure does! Produces a tin camping bowl and spoon from behind her back, and holds out the bowl to Ino.] Would you look at that! It appears I just happened to bring one with me for no particular reason.

[inmylight_commander]

[Kat pauses to glance at Six.] Instead of making jokes you could help get me unstuck.

[wilder]

If you want to keep the job.

[ino]

Good. [she'll smile! ... and back to the original topic] So why were you hiding in the wagon, anyways?

[wilder]

Yep. Unless you're found in a world change, you don't remember your times here before.

[a shrug] Probably to keep me on my toes.

[persequor]

What will you do?

[psych0p0mps]

The real question here is why you are using the singular.
