Who: Anyone
When: Day 150, morning (Maybe slightly forward dated since it's a jump from the last post.)
Where: Common Area
What: Weather Station Exploradora

[It's a kind of overcast today. Lucky it hasn't actually rained yet!]

[And there's this lady, waiting in the Common Area, watching the clouds rather impassively. Or maybe slightly annoyed/worried, depending how well you can read linefaces. There are two cases at her feet. And there is a white board at her side.]

She has limitations. And in this case, anyway, it was my idea.

I'd imagine it's a weakness of the gods, or they'd do more.

Maybe they just like seeing us scurry around for them. Who knows.

...In some cases, I think you're right. But she's been very helpful getting this set up already.

Probably considers it more efficient to delegate this.

Are we going to have to come back to check these things?
inruination: (Let's go take a ride)

Re: Area B

[personal profile] inruination 2013-07-21 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Good question. Do they need regular maintenance?

*shakes his head*

She provided something to relay information back, so we won't have to come out for anything but repairs.
inruination: (So why don't you blow me)

[Makes a face. Ew, repairs.]

How exactly does it work, anyway? She said it collects information about weather patterns, but how?
nometal_alchemist: (What's a man like me supposed to do)

Re: Area B

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2013-07-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
The equipment itself will be collecting the information... things like wind speed, rain fall, and the like. The extra component will feed that information back to her through... magic, I guess. Until we develop radio transmitters here, we'll have to make do with that.

[ . . . Shrugs a little.] Like I said. Don't expect me to be much help.
nometal_alchemist: (In this moment I am happy)

Don't worry. You won't need to help with any of that if you don't want to.

[She can sit on his shoulders and keep the equipment and his clothes from getting wet. He wavers in the current a little bit since it's pretty strong.]

We're almost there! [Sounds a little out of breath but they should be fine]
inruination: (Yeah you make me merry)

Well. Wanting to assist and being able to assist are different things.

That's true, but you won't have to worry about either.

*ahead, it's largely open fields now, with direction being provided by the compass. above, the sky might be darkening just a bit...*

Maybe we shouldn't plan on any hunting trips until we make sure the weather stays passable.
inruination: (I could tell she liiiiiked me)

Re: Area B

[personal profile] inruination 2013-07-21 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why? You can hunt in bad weather just fine if you try. [Not bothered by the darkening sky.]
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed looking surprised (It comes abrupt)

Re: Area B

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2013-07-21 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Have you done that before?
inruination: (All the things I wanted)

Re: Area B

[personal profile] inruination 2013-07-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? Not with animals, no, but the concept is probably the same.

Let's hope we don't have to find out.

*well. aside from that and the darkening sky, it's not too bad of a walk through the grass and other, more crop-like plants, at least for a little while. ahead, some dark, looming shapes are beginning to come into view.

meanwhile, the wind is starting to pick up.*
nolongerslate: (c - tease)

You two better hope you don't blow away.

[Snorts.] I mean to stay perfectly grounded, thank you.

[Fixing his gaze on those dark, looming shapes, yep.] What are those?
