[She had no knowledge of her 'personal' strength against the ice, but she cannot avoid feeling proud of herself when she carves the tunnel through it. It's large enough only for her-with divets to act as a ladder moving upward, until she makes it to a much larger, more spacious chamber. She's broken through it with an ease that astounds even her-though perhaps not other pokemon given the combined steel and fire attacks involved-but the room is not important right now.

A few days after people have settled in, and Amanda can be seen with her arms full of a number of objects-rolled scrolls, bags, supplies...anything she can carry with her arms and jaws alike, it's getting pulled up through the tunnel. Some may find the piles she has to carry piece by piece through at its door. Others, however-]

NGH-!

[Amanda isn't perfect; sometimes she stumbles, and that means it's papers everywhere, along with berries, seeds...] SHIT-!

Comments

[lazywater]

Surprising, right?

... So what do you know?

[thegunsdonothing]

Most of what I've been making note of is on the outside world; wherever we are, the known map includes five other continents, largely named after whatever their dominant biome is.

[..Words.]

[lazywater]

. . .

So what continent are we on?

[He knows one of them!]

[thegunsdonothing]

The Continent of Light-apparently the auroras tend to be prominent most times of the year here.

[lazywater]

And is there a way onto the others? I've looked around. We're not even close to the water's edge around this place. It's ice left right and centre.

[thegunsdonothing]

Blocked off-there was a cave in at the only entrance.

[lazywater]

Of course... why not. [En sighs.]

You've looked around the Exploration Guild Outpost, right?

[thegunsdonothing]

It's on my list, yeah.

Why?

[lazywater]

I didn't go myself, but I heard they're giving away free stuff to new recruits. Apparently the whole point of the place is to 'discover the secrets of the continent' and 'go explore the unknown', which is kinda what we want to do, right? Just we have an ulterior motive. [Don't say it like that]

Why don't we go there tomorrow and check it out?

[Why not today, you lazybones?]

[thegunsdonothing]

[Such would have been Amanda's thoughts, if she wasn't focused on these.] Sounds like something to look into after we're done here, yeah...

I wouldn't say we're out to 'explore' for the sake of exploring, but at this point any new information is good information.

[....she agreed...]

[lazywater]

Yeah, I know. Our ulterior motive.

[It's a miracle, really.]

These seeds look all the same.

SLEEP, YOU FOOLS

[thegunsdonothing]

From the outside, [Amanda starts, pulling on her 'gasmask' of cloth.]

Let's see about the inside...

[Claws dig in, and with a crack-!

GREEN SMOKE.]

[lazywater]

... [En isn't wearing a gas mask. So he just takes one whiff of it and he's instantly asleep.]

[thegunsdonothing]

[Unfortunately, gasmasks are useless against these. While she holds out long enough to mutter 'shit....'

...She's out like a light. Nice going nerds. Good thing it wasn't a petrify seed]

[lazywater]

[Thankfully, after a few minutes, this asshole is awake again.]

Uh... what were we talking about again? [He sounds tired and groggy]

congrats loser u get to tuck a grown woman into bed

[thegunsdonothing]

[Unfortunately, the mawile is not. And she's snoring.]

I cant believe he took a nap and just thought they worjed hard

[lazywater]

... Oy... don't work so hard until you fall asleep.

[The Slakoth sighs and shakes his head before grabbing one of the provided inn blankets and pulling it over the Mawile. He tidies up the things and he puts one apple in front of her for when she wakes up.]

... Guess she looked at less seeds than I thought. Oh well. We can do that later... after we see that exploration thing. Night...

[and he's out... and despite seeing BARELY any time has passed... he heads to bed]

i luve this nerd,,,this slakoth,,,,

[thegunsdonothing]

[Exploration 'tomorrow' indeed.

Perhaps they'll take a look in that park.... aka the log coming out soon...]

Imso glad you dojkbmnef

[lazywater]

[Look out world, for the next exploration team!]
