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'll smirk a bit.]

If you're sure. You'd better not be the first to complain about being tired once we're moving tomorrow.

[eyebrow. Really, dude?]

And here I was already planning my litany of whining for the hike.

[So deadpan.]

[solowingpixy]

[He'll just laugh.]

Sorry, I seem to be good at ruining everyone's plans.

[But he'll just have a faint smirk on his face now.]

But I'm guessin' a guy like you is more on guard on trips like this. That keeping you awake?

[last_rat_standing]

If anything were to happen I'd prefer to be awake and ready if that's what you're asking.

[His face remains as impassive as always.]

[You must be an absolute blast at parties, Bond.]

In a round about way, I guess it was.

[His smirk'll fade as he'll gives a light shrug, looking off and around- he's still on watch after all.]

Any thoughts on this whole 'expedition' thing?

[last_rat_standing]

[The absolute best]

Not thus far, no.

[lies. Though most of his thoughts are more about the expedition-goers and less on the expedition itself.]
