First point: if we know each other, can you please let me know you made it safely back to the village? This is faster than me running around knocking on everyone's doors and camping out on your front steps until I confirm it myself. (But I will do that too if you don't respond, jsyk.)

Second point: Does anyone have any experience or tips about the area to the south? Landmarks, wildlife, plants to avoid, things like that.

I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but you count as part of that check-in too, fyi.

Also, in better news, this is me telling you I need to take your measurements. (Don't make it weird, it isn't weird.)

You've been helping me train this whole time, but I promise I have not forgotten our deal! When's the next time you're going to be in town?

I did make it safely back. And I must thank you for your concern.

What does 'jsyk' mean?

Oh, and yes, I've been south a bit. Not directly south. South along the river. To the southern farm site. I think you'd be well advised to ask people who have been there. Not me of course, my blue powers have done well at keeping me quite safe from running into any wildlife or places worth avoiding.

[whipshots]

See, nobody has a monopoly on concern.

'Just so you know'! And I can totally imagine that's a super useful power to have, although not as useful for knowing about the threats if you've been lucky enough to just walk around them the whole time...

[plate_builder]

It is a good power. It helped my group get back safely. Mostly safely.

[whipshots]

'Mostly'?

Everyone is hedging their answers like this, and it makes me wonder.

[plate_builder]

There is definitely some emotional issues raised by this situation. I saw much in the way of trauma.

[whipshots]

So: physically okay, emotionally not?

[plate_builder]

Indeed. Steph got away the easiest, and myself after that.

[whipshots]

Good. The rest will get better.

[plate_builder]

I agree. One learns to overcome what hurts them.
