paradisabeyond | (no subject)

[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.]

[Hazah, time with Ino]

I promise I won't go that far.

So. How're you enjoying this happy little outing of joy and laughter?

[a little laugh; she can't imagine him doing that sort of thing anyways] I mean I'm used to the smell, is all.

It's been good! Really good. [she'll gather her legs to her chest, laying her cheek on her knees to look down at him with a grin. it really has been good, she's been happy to spend time away from the castle, and, you know, walk around holding hands with GALE and stuff like that] You?

Good to know.

[Ugh. She's got that goofy GALE grin going on again. Still, the Once-ler is the KING OF COOL and manages to pull off a marginally impressive nonchalant shrug] It's nice not to have the ever present threat of being handcuffed to the wagon any more.

[she'll laugh a little at that] Aw, come on. I don't think anyone even brought handcuffs. [a pause] Did they?

I wouldn't put it past some of the people here. I mean, look at that guy [Gesturing in Cloud's direction] He looks a complete closest handcuff guy.

[LMFAO HAHAHAHA she can't help but snicker a little, and she elbows him ... gently-ish, she doesn't want to break him]

What if he heard you! Outing him to the whole camp like that.

[He chuckles, arching an eyebrow and dropping his voice into a sneaky whisper]

Oh please, like he isn't screaming it already.

[Suddenly... SNEEZE!]

[LMAO POOR CLOUD ...]

It's all the belts. The belts give him away.

And the hair. I wonder how much gel he puts in it to keep it like that...

You know, a lot of those guys just say they wake up that way.

Yeah, maybe if their hair can defy gravity.

[a little giggle] Anti-gravity hair?

I bet they'd be all the rage in the Valley of Vung.
