mapping party redux

Who: mapping party! (late signups for mapping party can go here)
Where: the near western side of the island
When: Day 85
Open/Closed: semi-open! feel free to mingle/run into mapping party at any of the locations. if you would like to be in mapping party, signups are above!

[So maybe you were invited along on this expedition by Jay or a friend. Maybe you heard a telepathic message a couple days ago looking for people with scouting and mapping skills and answered the call. Maybe you just happened to be in the area. Whatever the reason, there's a small group of people and dragons assembling on the beach near the huts, and Jay appears to be in the center of it, checking that everyone he's expecting is accounted for.

They'll be going by air to map the near western coastline and circling back around to camp, touching down every so often to look for landmarks and other potentially useful areas on the way. You're welcome to come along, if you can bargain yourself space on dragonback.]

One more thing that we wish we could ask Qri about, huh? ...if I ever get a chance to talk to her, I'll ask for you.

[Geir reaches over and picks up a larger stone to set in the middle of the circle once Shiro is done. they're going to have to do a lot more than mark off places they've visited to really understand what's happening -- and what happened -- here, he thinks.]

Either way, it's going to take a lot more exploring to see what's on this weird rock.

Hopefully we’ll get the chance to ask our questions of her. Thank you. If I get the chance first. I’ll ask and tell you whatever answer we get.

[He returns to human shape and sets his hands on the rocks of the circle. This should do just fine. Next time he’d bring markers with him. The sort they used to use back at the Garrison.]

Let’s head back to the others. Let them know what we found.

All right!

[there's one more thing worth repeating: Geir ducks his head happily, looking at the gemstone they retrieved.]

...thanks for looking at the shiny rock cave for me, too.

[he holds his claws out for Shiro to climb into. it won't take them long to get back to the rest of the party.]
spaceforged: (As long as we work together...)

Always glad to check things out.

[He grins and climbs into Geir's held out claws. They've made some progress with their mapping. It gives him a sense of accomplishment.]

And I was curious about it too.

If you ever happen to get a few more of those rocks out, I bet I could find a good place for them...

[Geir's tone says that he is teasing, which he is, but if Shiro ever takes him up on it he will in fact instantly put those rocks in the pile of stuff he's slowly accumulating. they're shiny. he wants them.]
spaceforged: (Good job team)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-10-23 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet you could too.

[He laughs. It’s been a while since he laughed or smiled this much. He’d definitely have to pry a few more stones out of the cave wall sometime as a thank you.]

And if I find any other gems around here, I’ll know who to bring them too. Thanks for bringing me out to see that spot.
rootandbranch: (crack the reins carry the fight)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-24 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Shiro, right?

[he'd overheard the man's name in their preparations to go on this trip.]

Sure thing.
spaceforged: (...well that's new.)

[personal profile] spaceforged 2017-10-24 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. I didn't get to hear your name.

[He'd been checking his gear.]
rootandbranch: (and people are singing; how 'bout that!)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-10-24 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's Geir! Nice to meet you, Shiro.
