@ Everyone
Hey guys. Anyone need verbal walkthrough on setting up a tent, finding a good camp sight, finding water or any of that? I won't be as useful in some terrains but I know how to handle plains, forests and mountains.
Also we really should be doing more general survival classes for EVERYONE.
Private to Rinoa
Please tell me you were smart enough not to look for the person the message told you to, unlike me.
If not, are you okay? Remember to find a source of water earlier rather than later. Absolutely take the effort to get the tent set up. I don't know if the others ever explained it while you were on the save the world thing, but it's important to preserve body heat and the primary place where you lose it is through the ground. So use the sleeping bag.
Be careful, okay?
Private to Billy
You okay, B? If you're out there remember to do what you can to keep your green powers up, for safety. First chance you get, take whatever tool you have to cut a FRESH branch, cut off extra twigs and stuff sticking off. It's something.
I've got other survival tips but I don't know what to tell you. Have you ever been camping before?

Private forever
Are you okay???
[Because the anxiety is real, here.]
Re: Private forever
I'd be better if I knew how Seifer was. Or was there with you. But you've got to do what you have to do. Please stay safe. Contact me regularly? I know I'm going to worry. Even if you had your magic I'd worry.
Re: Private forever
I know. Have you heard from anyone about him? I called Tommy, he's still back in the village, I can have him go check the house to see if Seifer's still back there, too. Who are you with? Make sure you stay careful, I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you.
I'll call you every day. You'll barely even notice I'm gone. Promise.
Re: Private forever
I'm with Hawke. I'm so not worried. Hawke and me, on a mountain? I'm in my element. It's pretty thrilling. Now that I know you're okay for right now. Besides, I'm green again. I'll be okay.
Please do call. I miss our late night chats. Maybe get some talking in before I take over watch from Hawke.
Re: Private forever
I'll ask him as soon as we're done here. And if I see anything from anyone else, I'll let you know.
[He knows what it's like, to be missing a brother. At least Tommy still has his watch.]
Hawke? She's great. I don't know her really well, but she made me my hoodie, and we've talked some. At least you're with someone who knows what they're doing out here. Be careful, anyway?
I'll call you tonight, when we set up camp.
Re: Private forever
You look good in the hoodie, so yeah, good person. But I'll do what I can to get us home safe. Promise the same, okay?
Thanks, Billy. I just need to know you're cool. Remember, those tent stakes are important, make sure they are in there firmly.
Re: Private forever
Okay, good. Let me know what you find out?
And I promise. We still have to go on that date, remember? I've got something to get back to.
[Something that he's definitely holding on to, through all of this.]
I'm way cooler than cool. I'll be okay, Nida, I swear. I've been doing a lot of foraging already, I know how to get a fire started and how to get a tent set up. I might be a city kid, but I've been learning. No damsels here.
Re: Private forever
[Which isn't to say sex but geez, he's bad at this. He's so GOOD at flirting, how is he managing this?]
I don't think you're a damsel, but from what you've told me about your city life, I didn't know if you knew this.
Re: Private forever
More than usual?
[Because Nida does make him smile. Even now, when he's out God knows where in the wilderness with someone he barely knows without any kind of weapon aside from the branch he'd cut.]
I didn't know, before. I wasn't exactly the Boy Scout type. But I've been doing a lot of studying since we got here. Might be uncomfortable, but I'll live. What kind of place are you guys in?
Re: Private forever
Mountain top. Intending to head down to a point just above the treeline. Have to collect goldbells. Which of course worries me.
Re: Private forever
Yeah. We're doing zoom seeds, Tommy's thrilled. I had to promise to bring him some, and let me tell you that's gonna be fun.
[Or, you know, the opposite.]
Watch out for puffballs on your way down. They're big brown mushrooms, look like inflated balloons. The spores are deadly. Did you finish those foraging books I gave you last month? I know you've got Hawke, and if your bag is like ours you've got food, just...you know.
Re: Private forever
I did finish some of them. Seifer did the mushroom one actually. I think he's going to try and sneak some into our meals. I've read the town records fully though.
Thing is, Hawke doesn't have a bow on her, so that's going to minimize some of our hunting.
Re: Private forever
Good. That should help some. Sucks about the bow, I guess they didn't want us to have it too easy. They even took the one knife I had.
If you want, I can send you photos of stuff that's safe to eat?
Re: Private forever
That's appreciated, Billy. But if we're in different sorts of areas it might not apply.
Re: Private forever
You're right. It might not. Just...sorry. I'm just worried. I don't like being this far from home. From Tommy, or from you. It kind of sucks.
Re: Private forever
This right here? Literally what I was trained to do. With less monsters. Sure, I don't have magic to call back on, but I've had time to adjust to that, you know? Have faith in me, like I have in you.
Re: Private forever
I know. I know, and I do. You're amazing, and I know you'll probably be fine. I mean, you're trained for this, like you said. I wouldn't be much help even if I was there.
But it's fine. We're gonna be fine. I should go, Peggy and I are gonna try and see if we can get a better eye on our location. I'll call you tonight once we get camp set up, or if I hear about Seifer, okay?
Re: Private forever
Thanks, Billy.
Re: Private forever
Maybe one day we can try camping for fun. Just us.
See you soon.
