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.]

[...nothing else seems to be forthcoming, unless there's a rare minnow or something somewhere. probably not worth it.]

Cool. It sounds like it could be really useful as long as you're careful in how you use it. Are you able to get along fine without it?
no subject
[Geir's tone is disgruntled, though it's probably not obvious from outside whether it's about not being able to destroy things, or just having a familiar capability removed. in all honesty, it's both, though perhaps not in the way someone hearing it said might imagine. there's something about the power to destroy everything around you that's very comforting -- if everything else is finite while you're infinite, then any upsetting situation is one you can ultimately escape from.
even though Geir would have no intention of destroying anything in particular even with his venom, without it, he's trapped.]
no subject
[this is important scientific information, even if it isn't currently relevant without the skill]
no subject
[Geir's disgruntlement is clear, also. he really didn't like that that didn't work, for a lot of the same reasons that he doesn't like not having access to his venom at the moment. maybe everything should just be more destructible!!]
no subject
So it doesn't work here, and likely most low-frequency worlds where we can't use our abilities from home. And it might not work on other kinds of magic from other worlds. But in theory it should work on anything else. Let's test it out! On the next world we go to, can you see if it works on any of their magical items? If it's safe.
no subject
[he considers that for a minute; speaking of things that explode...]
--we have a bunch of Elto bones stashed away, too. Maybe it's better to leave those here...
no subject
Bringing one of those to test with shouldn't be too bad. We can avoid trying anything with a lot of them. ...Should we keep all of those together if they have a chance of exploding in high quantities?
no subject
[oh dear.]
no subject
L-let's keep the pile small! Until we know for sure that it's safe. I'd rather not take too many chances while we're on an island floating in the middle of space.
no subject
[that's a shit-eating grin. he's teasing. probably]
