[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?]

i'm so late

[ Ann is here and she's ready to do some infiltrating! Admittedly, it'd be a whole lot easier to get in the infiltrating mood and all if she was dressed as Panther—yes, the embarrassing catsuit and all. Now that she doesn't have it, she kind of misses it.

Even sans catsuit, she quickly approaches Akira when she sees him near the entrance of the mansion. ]

Hey, Akira!

that word doesn't exist in my world

[actus]

Hey.

[ he greets her with a slight nod of his head, smiling. his hands slip easily in his pockets and he tosses the mansion another sidelong glance. ]

It's kinda impressive, isn't it?

[ he had no idea such a thing existed on this island. it's kind of creepy, in its own right. ]

[pussywhips]

[ She glances back towards the mansion, her hands on her hips as she takes it all in. It's certainly... something. But Ann is pretty pumped to go exploring in it, mostly because she's hoping to find some good stuff. (Like... food. What kind of food she's hoping to find in a dilapidated mansion, I don't know.) ]

Yeah, it looks pretty big, huh? It kinda reminds me of a Palace.

[ They didn't infiltrate any mansions, but they could've. ]

[actus]

[ listen, if they infiltrated a castle, a bank and a cruise liner, a mansion was a very logical next step. ]

Think there's a map anywhere inside?

[ it's mostly a joke, because he isn't exactly sure that's how the real-world works. while public buildings usually have maps, he gets the distinct feeling this place wasn't open towards the general public. ]

[pussywhips]

[ The inside joke makes her laugh, because she highly doubts there's a convenient map just hanging around inside this weird mansion—those maps were always pretty convenient, weren't they? ]

Well, I guess the only way to find out is by checking it out, right?

[ She wants to say, If only we had Futaba— but she cuts the thought off right there before she ruins the whole mood. But, Ann being Ann, it's probably completely visible on her face anyway. ]

[actus]

Definitely.

[ akira adjusts his glasses - for no real reason other than to pretend to be cool - and he nods. he tries not to comment on their very obvious lack of a navigator. it'd do no good to dwell on it, right? just press forward and focus. ]

Do you trust me to draw one as we go along?

[pussywhips]

Yeah, of course. I'm no good with that stuff anyway.

[ It's probably (definitely) a good thing that the Phantom Thieves had Morgana and then Futaba to guide them, because Ann and Ryuji are probably totally useless. Palaces are complicated, okay?

In any case, she shifts her weight a little bit, apparently content to wait here until Akira leads the way, as he always does. ]
