Who: a bunch of less-than-upstanding nerd boys
Where: along this route
When: Day 8, or thereabouts
Open/Closed: closed to mapping party; pm rebells if your character would have icly asked to come!

[So you may have gotten a telepathic message a few days ago about an expedition to map the coastline . . . or maybe you were invited along by a friend. Whatever the reason, it's bright and early this morning, and it's time to set out!

Characters would have gotten a further telepathic message from Jay with a date and time to meet outside the shacks. They'll be heading east along the "shore," tracking the coast, and then heading directly back towards base camp . . . who knows what they'll find along the way?]

[!]

Yes. A kind of black mist that can form small monsters, or make larger ones more powerful.

[ Ugh... Minato's expression darkens just the slightest. Having this sort of thing in multiple worlds isn't a comfort; even if they are different, the fact that they prey on people similarly is disconcerting. ]

...I hope there isn't anything like that here. I'll rely on your daggers if that happens.

[He's not sure how he feels about being addressed so easily as a comrade, when they barely know each other, and when he's trying so hard not to think about the last people he had that kind of relationship with.

But he pushes that aside, for the moment.]

. . . yes. All right. [ . . . ] If you'd like to learn how to use that sword more effectively--I can teach you that as well.

[ Jay's the one who put this whole group together, so strangers as they are, Minato defers to him as a leader of sorts. Weapons training isn't something he had, so... whatever help he can get. ]

Sure. I learn best in practice, so... I guess when we run across something. A boar, maybe, when we head out.

[rebells]

All right.

[A boar should be easy enough to dispatch by himself anyway, if the worst happens.]

Have you met everyone else here?

[p_mortem]

I've met everybody in our group at least once, yeah.

[rebells]

That's good. I've only barely met some of them myself, but I suppose we're all new to one another here.

[p_mortem]

It hasn't been very long, so... [ a shrug ] I like meeting new people. And talking.

[ Doesn't he sound so talkative?? yeah ]
