[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.]

Well, if they do, that's more for us!

[With that, she plops down beside him, picking up one of the sticks to examine it. Appreciably smooth, good job!]

[ectobabble]

Kinda the best way to look at it, really! [he slides her over a pack of crackers and a couple of chocolate bars]

So how long d'you think it'll be before we get to Lastlook?

[psych0p0mps]

[She shrugs and attempts to open the pack of crackers. Attempts.]

I'm not sure! Raine was estimating a week, but I think that's conservative, especially given that our map isn't to any kind of scale - wow, this one's stubborn.

[But she turns the package over and tries at the other end, and of course now it opens right up. WELP :T]

[ectobabble]

[he chuckles a little at her package opening fail, but it's good-natured. as ... well, pretty much everything else he ever does]

Yeah, it must be kind of hard to plan a trip when you don't even know how accurate your map is...

[psych0p0mps]

It really is. [She helps herself to a couple marshmallows and impales them on the stick.] But we did the best we could. And either way, I'm sure we'll get there sooner or later. In the meantime, we have more important things to worry about!

Namely, s'mores.
