hey
so me and wash and gene were gonna go on an adventure in the woods
see what we can find, you know?
but we're looking for a couple of people to bring with us
maybe two or three
gene's a medic, wash is a marine, and i'm a wizard with experience dealing with monsters and nasty magic
anyone that thinks they could round that out would be great
but no serial killers or anyone that would like
murder us in our sleep
and sorry, but no kids yet
i know some of you are gonna argue that, but we have no idea what we're dealing with and we don't want that on our consciences
anyway, let us know
thanks

i can't believe you would go behind my back like this

[evocation]

maybe i just want to be the prettiest one for once

[hardwearing]

You guys are sitting maybe five feet apart.

[chardismastic]

when you planning this little to do

[evocation]

a couple of days?
it depends on how quick people agree to go and how fast we can organize, i guess

@mikaelson

[tribridfreakshow]

i'll come

[evocation]

okay
what kind of stuff are you good at?

@rlutece

[originallutece]

Do you imagine a serial killer would be deterred by this?

In any case. If you come back with something interesting, I'd appreciate the chance to take a look at it. My laboratory is still being assembled, but I've enough equipment to test a fair few things.

[evocation]

it was mostly a joke
what kind of stuff can you test?

[ultimatums]

I'll come if you're real short

[ just. needs to sober himself up first. ]

Although at some point you're gonna have too many people and then everyone turns into a liability

[evocation]

i'm always short

[ha ha]

what do you think our cutoff should be?

@shadow

[itsaname]

[ Shadow doesn't think he can 'round out' a group like that. But here he is, offering anyway. ]

i'll go with you. i'm nothing special, but i'm not a serial killer.

Re: @shadow

[evocation]

hey, that's pretty good
what are you good at?

@d.grayson

[identifier]

i'm available.

[evocation]

that'd be great
sorry, this turned into a fucking mess

@username

[dualikey]

ohhhh so it's better if us kids go out on our own instead is that it?

@hicks;

[preseance]

( sora, pls. gene's got one helluva stern medic mom voice, which he uses now to full effect. )

Hey, enough of that. Ain't what the lady inferred at all. This was at my request, an' if you've got a problem with it you can take it up with me proper.

@darkness

[evulsed]

"no kids"

you're so stupid

i bet the kids here can fight better than you can

not that it matters against the forest spirits

@dysmas :// text;

[chardismastic]

didn't one of you just show up screaming in the church

meaning one of you already got yourselves killed?

@riku

[equinoctials]

we've all died here so what exactly are you protecting the kids from?

[evocation]

back home i worked a job where a bunch of kids were being tortured repeatedly and used as a power source in necromancy rituals
they wanted kids and teenagers specifically
seems a little worse than dying to me, but what the fuck do i know

@replica

[replicates]

don't waste your time
just say you don't want to be responsible for babysitting instead of trying to frame it like you're protecting us
not that we need it anyway

[nonscriptum]

[ Nate really doesn't expect pragmatism or logic, knowing how he himself was at this age, but- ]

it's not that. i'm sure some of you probably have really impressive powers or skills

it's that most of us have seen kids 1/2 and 1/3 our age get killed multiple times before, and we have more experience

@islander

[carriedbylight]

It's your loss. The 'kids' are pretty skilled, but we'll just explore on our own.
Good luck!

[evocation]

thanks buttercup 😘

[primordialerebus]

I don't count right? :/

[evocation]

i think we're pretty much full on this one
but do you wanna come with me next time?

@priestess

[voktys]

I have found the warning never works. Children perish as soon as they enter the city of Asshai, it is simply the city's own way. There are warnings, there are witnesses, and still, near every time a ship lands in the port, one child sailor decides he is surely going to break the wheel.

Sometimes, this is simply how it goes.

[evocation]

so what are you suggesting?

@parker

[webshoots]

You do remember being a kid, right?

[evocation]

i don't need you joining in on the dogpile, too

Voice

[spitefullight]

[He isn't even surprised to see this going on. A part of him feels like the "no kid" rule is in direct response to his own behaviour towards Kyna a bit ago. Maybe it's not but he doesn't have to be happy to see this or even agree.

Regardless, he's going to say something.]

Do you mind if I at least see you all off at the edge of the forest before you go? If there is zombies or something in there I can at least offer you some protections against it.

[his voice is even and neutral as he says it.]

voice;

[preseance]

That'd be a big help, Elden. Thank you kindly.

@missprincessmary; voice

[withsadness]

I don't want to go into the forest, so I'll be sad if the other kids leave me all alone to explore themselves!

[She's trying to help. Thank god the baby of the group wants nothing to do with exploring.]

It's too dark and too scary! Nobody fight anymore!

@doctorsin ( voice. )

[sulfa]

You can stay here with me at the clinic if you want. I think we could find something for you to do if you want to help Doc Hicks and I while he's gone.

@five

[fogey]

[ wow, this post sure is HAPPENING ]

Well, this is going well.

[ dw, he's not volunteering. as a (1) serial killer, and a (2) child-looking person, that's tWO STRIKES. more seriously, group expeditions aren't his thing. so, obligatory comment aside -- ]

What direction are you planning on heading?

[evocation]

yeah, i fucking love it
and probably
we were going to nail that down when we got a group together

@ carnie

[ordinaryannie]

sorry you got torn apart for not wanting to lead a kindergarten field trip.

sounds like you have more than enough volunteers, but if you head out again, i have a few years of wilderness survival and dealing with unusual wildlife under my belt.

[evocation]

thanks
i'd love that
and i feel like i'm losing my god damn mind
this seemed like a reasonable request to me

@witch — private.

[hext]

[ it is with no small amount of dismay that she absorbs the fallout of this request post. she takes her time, deciding how best she can offer something of herself in this environment. ]

your plate seems quite full, and yet—
would you have use for someone who can mentally read the area for approaching organic material?

[ she puts herself on a very great and precarious limb, here. wanda has really only told perhaps one other person. ]

[evocation]

how does that work?
