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?]

[What if he just hands Dave a frog to occupy himself?]

I'd like to see what we can pick up from other planets and recreate. I mean I have my fusing thing, sure, but I cannot really create stuff tech-wise. But I can code a little so there's that. And Dave could probably draw up some tools if we knew what they looked like.

[splinten]

I'll keep an eye out for shit. [Actually] Do you know if I could get parts from the fridge guy?

[parodeity]

[ well now dave is holding a frog i guess. luckily gross shit doesn't bug him so he's just mildly "why".

when he's addressed, he shrugs. ]

It's mostly been food from what I know. We were talkin' hypothetically about what all could be in 'em. I don't know if he can control it.

[windeity]

[The frog needs a better father figure than John, that's why.]

On the other hand, if the fridges themselves are fine what is stopping us from taking them apart and fishing for parts? If there isn't a limit on how many a day Lenka can produce...but maybe that's something to ask him.

[splinten]

It would be convenient if it checks out. Fridges have a lot of useful mechanical parts. Some might even have computer chips I could use.

[parodeity]

[ what if dave sets the frog down and frees it. ]

Dunno. Everyone has limitations, but I don't think everyone knows 'em yet.

[windeity]

[John shoots him a Look because bye frog. But he rolls his eyes instead.]

Then we'll figure it out together. We should probably keep going though and see how much further we can get before everybody else wants to head back. What do you think?

[splinten]

I'm fine with that.

[He likes exploring. He's good at it and it's simple and calming.]

[parodeity]

Split up again? [ directed at john, but less a statement and more a question. he'll go with whatever john decides without any argument. ]

[windeity]

[...he's still not sure what's up. He does pick up that something's up and that Dave's leaving the decision to him, so he nods slowly.]

Let's head back to where the majority went and we can split up from there to see what hasn't been covered yet. We can cover more ground if we split up, but nobody should be by themselves either.

[A compromise at best, and still trying to be a good leader. He's doing his best to juggle it and still be a good friend because at the end of the day, his best friends win out. But it feels wrong to leave Dirk hanging, too. What a weird situation...] Good idea?

[splinten]

Yeah, sure.

[parodeity]

Whatever you want, dude, I don't have a preference. I think the horde is that way.

[ gestures. ]

[windeity]

We'll come back for some of the frogs later. I'm taking the reeds, too. [And there's his own gesture for Dirk to follow.] Let's go.

[splinten]

[He pauses but then nods, following along with his arms hanging loosely at his sides.]

[parodeity]

[ and whenever they get there dave will hang with john for a few minutes before splitting off again bye ]

[windeity]

[Bye Dave...but John at least looks at Dirk and lifts his hand.]

I guess we'll catch up with you later...? Let us know if you find anything else. [There's a light grin before he waves and takes off after Dave because goddamnit, Strider.]
