[OPENING] exploration log

[spellbindmods]

Who: Explorers and Co.
Where: Around the island and at the newly discovered house
When: Day 10
Open/Closed: Open to All
Note: Feel free to create your own logs for individual island explorations. A prompt is for house exploring, and you can list off multiple A prompts like A1, A2, etc. for more than one prompt within the house. B prompts (B1, B2, etc) are for exploring the island and may be open to all OR select friends who your character is exploring with.

[It's tough to live on an island that doesn't have many resources outside of the limited food sources and running streams. While Brie is aware of some other minor sources of food, like fish and frogs, one person exploring an island on their own means there are a lot of secret spots left to uncover. Despite adventuring for three years, her time on the hub itself has been much shorter, only staying for days or weeks at a time. Now that there are more people on this journey, covering ground is a lot easier.

Recently she's discovered another large estate -- much larger than her current shared mansion, which might also mean it has some supplies inside. On the morning of Day #, she's called together those who are hankering for more supplies in order to bring as much back as possible. Congrats, you get first dibs.

A. Upon approaching the house, the first thing that's noticeable is its size. It's all one story, but very flat and spacious. There are gardens in both the front and the rear, and upon entering (Brie might have enlisted you to help break the door down, oops) the inside is also quite vast. There are tons of rooms, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, two kitchens and other rooms that aren't even explorable because they need keys to be entered. Unless you can find these keys, that is?

B. Alternatively, or maybe even aside from exploring the house, Brie's also suggested that you do some exploring on your own. Again, she's one woman with limited time to scout the island herself. What can you find? What resources are there to be harvested? Will you share in this bounty, or keep it to yourself?]

[actus]

Fair.

[ he tosses her a sheepish smile. ]

It's not really the same in the real world.

[mapsio]

No, it just looks kind of stalker-like in the real world.

[She laughs a little.]

Help me carry some tools?

[actus]

Sure.

[ he nods, and lazily stretches his arms above his head. ]

This kinda reminds me of that time I helped Yusuke break into Madarame's place.

[mapsio]

Tell me about it?

[She hasn't heard a lot from the very beginnings of the phantom thieves, so of course she is interested.

Also loading up some tools in Akira's arms.]

[actus]

[ he will gladly hold these!!! ]

Yusuke wanted to get something from Madarame's old place after everything happened. We kinda had to pick a lock in the real word to get inside.

[mapsio]

So you picked the lock and broke into an abandoned dwelling?

[That is....very illegal.]

[actus]

...For the most part, yeah.

[ he feels impending doom. ]

We needed to get some of Yusuke's stuff.

[mapsio]

If you would have gotten caught you would have been arrested on the spot.

[That was their Leader for them.]

[actus]

[ ahahahaha. ]

Right. But we were careful.

[ a beat. he hopes she can understand this next part: ]

...It was important to Yusuke.

[mapsio]

I understand then. Yusuke must have wanted to get closure, right?

[I mean, considering everything he went through.]

[actus]

Yeah.

[ he's sure yusuke has come far with it, but he wonders if you can truly ever get closure after something like that. he...can't imagine if it had happened to him. it's a lot to swallow.

... ]

I hope he's okay.

[mapsio]

...I'm sure everyone is okay.

[She doesn't sound like she doubts it. But she has to wonder.]

I just miss everyone.

[actus]

Yeah. We... haven't been apart like this for months.

[ it felt like hawaii had really solidified the group bond, and with the addition of haru and futaba, things had only gone up from there. it was nice. it felt like a family. ]

[mapsio]

It's different, isn't it?

[Being away for so long. Even if it hasn't been a long time, it feels like a long time. She really kind of hates this part.]

Are you okay?

[actus]

Yeah.

[ oh shit he's supposed to be the tough and determined leader. ]

Sorry for worrying you. I just started thinking too much.

[mapsio]

No, it's okay!

[She reaches a hand out for him?]

Sometimes even the strongest people need support. While we're here... I'm you, myself, and Ann-chan will support one another no matter what. To think Ann-chan was afraid she was the only one that missed and worried about everyone.

[actus]

She said that?

[ it's asked fondly, akira easily taking haru's hand and interlacing their fingers. it's a good reminder, a good grounding for him. that he isn't alone. that they're in this together, the three of them. ]

[mapsio]

[She feels better too, if Ann were here she would have taken her hand too. It was a good source of comfort.]

She did! She really was worried about everyone as much as we are.

[It solidifies the family feeling.]
