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."

[Danny grins.]

Awesome! I'd take some of those.

[Grabs one for herself and hands the rest over to Danny]

So- [skewers her sausage, and hovers the stick over the fire] -I'm guessing this isn't your first trip outside the castle? I mean, you seem pretty relaxed out here.

[schrodingersghost]

Second trip, actually. Well, sort of. I ended up sleeping through the seoond half of the last trip. But it wasn't too bad till then.

[princelyspirit]

Wait, you slept through it? [Staring at him like he grew a second head] No offense, but how can you sleep through something like this?

[schrodingersghost]

Because I kind of fell off a really big rock one week in?

[princelyspirit]

...okay, now that? That would do it. [sighs, and shakes her head. There's no need to worry about it now, though - he seems pretty okay, right?] Though, you said it was pretty nice before the coma. What were you guys up to the last time you came out here?

We went exploring in a different direction. There were flying fish and creepy caves.
