[jigsawn]

found a village

( he has attached the map with the approximate location of the village marked — coordinates and all. so, don't @ him for not saying more.

eta; oh yeah, so his exploration thread is still ongoing which means he may or may not provide new information as it progresses. only time will tell. )

you're a real details man huh

[jigsawn]

( when we need the shrug emoji the most

not that he would use it. )

yep

[chardismastic]

all right then

would you like to share with the class anything about this apparent village? or are you really banking on the mystique to drive up tourism

@five

[fogey]

[ buddy ]

Did you find anyone there?

[jigsawn]

no

[fogey]

Did you look?

[ for. other people, or signs of life. ]

@witch

[hext]

you did not tell me you were leaving.

[jigsawn]

didn't think i had to

[...]

sorry

[hext]

i could have helped you.
you want to die again?

i don't think rosinante had a pleasant trip.

Afternoon, sir. Glad to hear from you. No injuries?

As for the village, reckon that'd be why Rastus mentioned my buildin' a bridge.

[jigsawn]

no, but there's something in the water
tried to grab my leg

( it also threw a rock at him but he's not going to get into that.

also, yes. he's sticking to text. sue him. )

have you started making plans?

[preseance]

( okay but the illiterate ww2 vet actually hates that there's a texting option at all, thanks!! )

For that, an' a few other projects. I ought to... make one of these bulletins an' ask for some manner of help. Man can only cut so many trees down himself.

[kungfuey]

How'd you get across the river?

[jigsawn]

rope

crawled across

[kungfuey]

What did you do with your lantern?

@Grandmaster

[paletteswap]

Habitable?

[jigsawn]

yes

[paletteswap]

Are you still there?

@shadow

[itsaname]

thank you for sharing this.

[ And, since he's looked through some other replies: ]

does it look like anyone's ever lived there?

[jigsawn]

it looks like no one has lived here in years

but i heard from winters that the previous group's progress was reset

( it's likely that its default is supposed to look this way — abandoned and worn down. who can really say? )

[itsaname]

[ Not for the first time, Shadow wonders exactly what a "reset" entails. ]

did he mention when the reset happened?

[ Shadow, at least, hadn't thought to ask until just now. ]
