thusia | That's it for now!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]

((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

So we are.

[a small sigh]

Ah, well. Either way, I'm interested in the opportunity to explore more of this world.

Mm. ... Provided that we don't land in another jungle, of course, but I'm certain that we're all quite tired of this by now.

Have you been well?

Even another jungle would likely have a variety of new things.

As to myself, I've been well enough. And you?

[horrible]

Ah, I suppose that I've been better, but there isn't any point in complaining. I had quite the awful cold just recently -- be certain to take care of yourself as well, hm?

Of course. I'm sure Rin would be more than displeased if I disappeared on her again.

From what you've told me, it's likely that she's more than capable of taking care of herself, but she'll certainly be lonely without her father, won't she?

I spent some time away recently. She was furious with me.

... Some time away? Where did you go? Ah, or were you lost?

I was lost, yes...

[...]

Tokiomi-san...

I did eventually return.

Yes, I do see that.

Please see to it that it doesn't happen a second time, hm?

If it's possible, of course.

The technology in this place is rather limited, but I'm certain that I could speak with a god and have you fitted with a GPS collar if necessary.

That's ridiculous.

[why am I reminded of Rin??]

It is ridiculous, yes, but you'd never be lost again, would you?

I'm sure I'll be quite fine.

It was a joke.

[Even if it was said with a totally straight face.]

But, you truly must be certain to take care of yourself. You're a single father in this place, after all, hm?

I think my daughter sees herself as the one taking care of me, much as I try to be a father.

[amused sigh]

But yes, I am. I do my best.

... Oh my. But, it's wonderful to know that she's concerned for you, isn't it?

It is. I'd much rather listen to her fuss than have her ignore me. I'm sure you can understand.

My daughter tends towards more... passive-aggressive channels to show her frustration with me, but I do understand. She sounds like a lovely girl.

Lovely and headstrong.

A fortunate combination. Perhaps I'll meet her someday, hm?

I can hope you'd get along if you did.
