Terre Haute expedition: Camping Day 1

[lord_wizard]

[It's been a more or less uneventful day of travel for the expedition team. Not unexpected for the first leg of such a trip, and with any luck, it will stay that way.

As the sun starts to get low in the sky, Felix signals the group with a sharp whistle to stop, shortly after he feels the change. They've entered the Dead Zone. That sudden loss of power for anyone used to that sort of thing. Not an easy thing to adjust to, at first.]

"We've crossed into the border of the Dead Zone now. We should stop here for the night. Those of you with experience, help set up camp as needed. And I recommend a few of you working out a watch schedule. You never can tell what might be out here."

[He probably does.]

B-but I haven't left the castle since I got here! I won't get in the way, really I won't!

And what if something gets in your way?

[Kids. Why is he always the one with the kids? He groans]

It's too late to take you back now, anyway. But you're gonna ride on the wagon with me and Ted and not touch anything that looks like it might bite you.

[tapshoetomove]

I can still use my legs if I need to get away.

[Though he's really relieved that he won't be forced to go back.]

I'll stay out of the way!

[whichwayyoulean]

Uh huh. You're still using the wagon to travel in. Better safe than sorry.

[Luke can tell when he's in trouble. This is one of those moments where he should stay quiet and behave, at least for a little while.]

Mm. All right, Mr. Once-ler.
