[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.]

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.

[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]
