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."

[Jane doesn't seem bothered by the ominous words! She sits down nearby and smiles.]

How is the trip treating you so far, Mr. Snicket?

[theabjectauthor]

Quite well, thank you, Jane - though, we do have quite a long way to go. [he moves over a bit so she'll have room in the Comfy Spot he found - it's a nice, springy patch of moss, dry and comfortable]

Have you tried the stew that Sunny made, yet?

[cyan_maid]

[It is very comfy, thank you!]

I didn't know someone had made stew! If I did, I would have offered to help. [She looks around.] Who is Sunny? I don't think I've met anyone with that name.

[he glances around until he finds the toddler amidst everyone else, and points her out] That is Sunny Baudelaire - she is one of my wards, my dearest departed Beatrice's youngest daughter.

[ She glances around right with him until he points someone out, and she narrows her eyes a little.]

I see - oh! Er...She's quite...young!
