[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.]

She... loaned it to you? Even though it was yours?

[psych0p0mps]

Mm? [with spoon in mouth again.]

[shrugs_a_lot]

She did win it...

[heal_theworld]

Good point... Well, at least she was willing to loan it to you.

[shrugs_a_lot]

... With interest...

[psych0p0mps]

[Shrug.] You looked cold. Or broody. It's hard to tell sometimes but I think it was at least one of those things. [Actually, given how broody Sollux could get, she's actually pretty adept at noticing the signs.]

[psych0p0mps]

[What's that? Were you about to head in for the night, Once-ler? Because later on, as it's getting dark, Aradia's curiosity finally gets the best of her and she scampers over to take a look at this ... tent? at least she thinks it's a tent.

So yeah just gonna peer into one of those windows if you don't mind, durp de doo]

[not_mafia]

O-oh! I guess it would be. [A bit of a sheepish laugh.] Mm, alright! Maybe I'll have a look at it tonight.

[whichwayyoulean]

I still say staying put would have been a better plan.

[whichwayyoulean]

You hungry? I could whip you something up.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, maybe if their hair can defy gravity.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Nope, he gave up on privacy in this thing a long time ago. When you have a forest spirit and his animal friends crashing in at any given moment, it's something you have to accept.

He glances up as he notices the movement]

Uh...hi?

[persequor]

All right.

[courageous_wit]

[she nods; trips like this aren't for everyone, especially if that person didn't actually want to go]

[shrugs_a_lot]

What were you looking for? [He wiggles his toes inside the water.]

[rogueofheart]

[Lies. Nepeta would accept that challenge if it actually existed.]

You either have really great friends, or maybe it's time to re-evaluate who you consider friends.

[The angle makes it hard to see, but Django can tell from the tone of voice. He smiles back a little]

Hi. The stars are always brighter out here than at the castle, even with the full moon coming up.

[dupable]

Winning at what?

[ He wasn't aware he'd been playing a game in the first place! ]

[whichwayyoulean]

Great. What would you like? I've got some pancakes, some bacon, uh, probably some vegetables somewhere...

[whichwayyoulean]

Guess I can't do anything about it now. Just grin and bear it.

[heal_theworld]

What sort of interest could be on a sword? Other than the person having more time with it...

[youhavebeenflynned]

[Harry continues to eat]

[The Pokémon looks up at Ino] Axew. [Then it nods]

I think he just introduced himself to you. Speaking of which, what's your name?

[persequor]

What are pancakes?

[courageous_wit]

No one said you had to grin.

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia of course just looks around the interior as if she actually has any right to be there, but after taking it in, turns her attention to the fellow inside. At least I think he's inside.]

This thing is pretty swanky!
