[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.]

[Zelos had gone out there to you know, lay on the grass, stare up at the sky, fulfill his daily brood, take a breather, have some time alone. You know the works. And he's been doing that for awhile until he starts feeling a bit sore in the neck and turns his head.]

[To see Lloyd doing the exact same thing like seven feet away or something.]

[.....Man this is awkward. He'll be sitting here, wondering what proper thing you do during this. Pretend not to see him and let the lonerness continue on both sides or bother him....]

[Yeah. He's turning to look back at the sky and hoping Lloyd doesn't notice sflkjsd ]

[gentleidealist]

[LMAO OH ZELOS. You're so socially awkward sometimes. Lloyd, on the other hand, thinks he's totally alone, so he lets out a huge belch.

/RUINS THE MOMENT]

[wilder]

[Yes, yes he is. At that, he just sighs and can't help but snark]

Classy, bud.

[gentleidealist]

[FHSAKJDASDF]

J-jeez! How long have you been there?!

[wilder]

A little while!

[Most would clarify that they didn't realize you were there, Lloyd, but eh, what does he care ]

[gentleidealist]

Would it hurt to say hello like normal people instead sneaking up on me?

[wilder]

Hm. Let's see...

[He rolls over so he's closer to Lloyd and once he is? He give a super cheerful look and a wave, tone is way too perky]

Hello Lloyd! ♥

INSTEAD OF** FUCK TAGGING AT 5AM GOD DAMN IT

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd just gives him a look...

... and reaches out to shove him back LMAO]

HAHA I DIDN"T EVEN NOTICE

[wilder]

[He gets shoved]

Heeey! I said hello like you asked!

[gentleidealist]

You're such a weirdo.

[He huffs and looks back at the sky.]

What do you think we'll find out there?

[wilder]

Right back at ya.

[He just makes himself comfortable next to Lloyd, looking up at the sky as well]

I dunno, place called Lastlook? It's either a really great view or something terrible.

You got any thoughts on what it'll be?

[gentleidealist]

[He actually chuckles at that.]

I think it might be the last you see of this land before you end up somewhere else. I know there's maps and stuff, but we don't know what's really out there until we see it, you know? Maybe there's a huge desert where the ocean used to be, or an ocean where there should be mountains.

[He runs a hand through his hair thoughtfully.]

Exploring is great, but I hope we find a clue that'll lead us back home. Or at least closer to it.

[wilder]

[He makes a slight thoughtful and amused noise. Lloyd always had a better imagination than him. ]

Hmm, I could see it. I'd take the ocean. Dealing with the desert in the summer would not be fun.

[A quick glance at him]

Well yeah so do I. But...I dunno, I doubt it'll be anything obvious. First Gens would've picked up on that, wouldn't they?

[gentleidealist]

Yeah, a swim would be great right now.

[That's a good point though, Zelos.]

Maybe, maybe not. I heard the Professor's really good at pressing buttons out here.

1/2

[wilder]

A swim and babes in swimwear, hahaha ♥

[wilder]

[Then a snort at that]

Oh right. I'm sure they'll be making ballads a plenty if that happens.

[gentleidealist]

[Zelos, /please/.]

I could make a ballad about how much I miss our cooks right now. Not that the food we have is terrible, but... it's just not the same.

[reasons why everyone should have a foodspec party member.]

[wilder]

[a moan]

Man, I know what you mean! I miss Genis and Regal's cooking and Earth food sucks.

[What is this instant dried stuff. REAL COOKS FIND WAYS TO CARRY EGGS ACROSS THE LANDS ]

[gentleidealist]

Those hot pocket things are pretty awesome, but I can't eat them all the time. After a while they just start tasting like really fake cheese.

I want Genis' stew...

[THIS DISCUSSION HAS JUST TURNED INTO BEING DEPRESSED ABOUT FOOD.]

[wilder]

No, those hot pocket thingys are disgusting and I am judging you for thinking otherwise.

Seriously. Some delicious seafood stew would be real nice to have.

[...YEP, SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT]
