Who: Edward, Wander, anyone
When: Day 40, early afternoon
Where: coming from the 4th floor
What: TRIUMPHANT RETURN

[Look who's back from their nature exploration! Aside from both obviously being worn out and the bandage on Wander's leg, he and Edward seem to otherwise be unharmed.]

[There is a lot of nature stuck to Wander's sword, which he is kind of looking at now.]

Wander: Well, um, that was a good hunt.

Edward: It's too bad we don't have anything to show for it.

It's a good idea... if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I don't think any definitive decisions were made... but I'll let you know.

... How did you not hear about the meeting?

Thank you.

Ah... Wander and I got a little... lost... out in Nature, for a couple of days.

[.......What]

Don't say that so flippantly!

It wasn't that bad, we got out mostly uninjured, we just didn't realize how much time had passed.

People going missing is a serious thing, Edward! It doesn't take much to be overwhelmed out there.

We did fine this time... next time we may take Sion along, though, to keep him from worrying himself into a heart attack.

I wouldn't blame him if you've been missing for that many days. Most of the people gone that long aren't fine.

No? Ah, I didn't realize...

... The number of people missing right now is pretty high. I don't think there are many people here who don't know someone who's disappeared.

The only people I really know well around here are the few living in this apartment... we're all still here, so I wasn't aware.

Just be careful to keep it in mind... Sion must have been worried sick.

He tends to worry anyway... I won't be forgetting about it next time.

Good. It's not just nature that's a threat out there, if all these stories are correct.

The people now, too, huh.

It's not really that surprising...

Unfortunately.

This place is still young, at least. There's still time to stop these things from getting out of control.

*...sigh*

I hope you're right. And at least so far it seems there's no great reward to anyone for violence against others.

Not that I can tell, no. Though some of the gods... [Makes a. Face. :T]

I've only dealt with a few of them so far. I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can.

There's one who had a girl burn herself multiple times as tribute, and another who had people poison themselves for a "dare".

*just. siiiiigh.*

At the very least, they were all optional.

That doesn't mean it won't end up becoming mandatory.
