Well, it has come to this. [A quiet clink and a clearing of the throat.]

My brother Leonardo and I are planning an excursion into Dogtown, notably those areas not yet investigated. I know some day trips have consisted of little more than a hope and a prayer, but we would prefer to be a bit more methodical. Therefore, my requests herein are simple:

One. Warnings and sentiments are not needed. Well wishes...appreciated, I suppose. Ultimately not useful but the motivations behind it will be documented appropriately.

Two. Any information is welcome. If you've already posted your findings to the network then a repeat telling isn't necessary, I've already reviewed it. Let's not waste everyone's time, yours included. Oh and unnecessarily relive trauma or something, et cetera et cetera.

Three. If you're a combatant and would like to come along, please let us know. If you are not a combatant and would like to come along...why? If you were to die my brother would become depressed. Depending on how your death played out, I may likewise be disturbed, so please don't do that.

-Leo, am I missing anything? I don't think so.

Cheers. [Another soft clink, and the feed turns off.]

I ain't been into it more'n I have to be, but I've been working the medic tent just outside of it. We got gunshots, animal and insect and spider bites, broken bones and sprains, burns, missing limbs, and blindness, some of it lasting.

[semilethal]

[Oh thank Einstein, actually helpful info. He was so worried that the first comment on this thing would be "don't go you stupids" and he would have to be blunt (read: rude) to strangers again]

Any issue with bites or stings being venomous, or any record of strange or unknown toxins?

[graveyounglady]

Not as yet, but I have to think some of the spiders are. There's them folk that found some kind of antidote in Dogtown. Now, I ain't the smartest girl, but it seems to me, you don't have antidotes for things that aren't a problem. Might just be it's for specific spiders.

And judging by all the ones that've run out of the forest lately... [There's a shudder in her voice.] Well, now might actually be the best time to go in, if they're all out here.

I'm a combatant. I would like to accompany you.

[.......]

And I probably won't die.

[semilethal]

How 'probably.'

[byeeeeeeeee]

Not likely. But it would be stupid not to acknowledge the possibility. I'm not invincible.

[thefinalpower]

I am an excellent combatant! I have already fought Hickey the Bear-Demon, and I do not die easily!

[semilethal]

No, I don't want you around.

[thefinalpower]

You've already seen my punching skills in action! And my hunting prowess. I would be an asset.

[No not the teetles]

Uh, just what do you think you're doing?

[Says John, who yeets himself into Dogtown for fun. It's one thing when it's him (and Rodney), it's another when it's the kids.]

You can't go in there. There's a murderbear in there and a zombie hunter, much less everything else that place throws at you!

voice; un: nobelbound

[semilethal]

Sarcasm, thank you for ignoring the first request. That aside, whatever is in there doesn't seem to stop you from dragging Dr. McKay into it on the regular.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

[Ouch, buddy. John doesn't answer for a moment because that stings.]

Look, he wants to go.

[Press [x] to doubt]

Anyway, he's a trained member of my team and as much as it pains me to admit it, he's really good at field work. We're used to taking on monsters. You guys are kids.

[neonleon]

[He's right next to his brother watching this. But first thing's first:]

What do you mean I'd 'become depressed', what's that supposed to mean?

[semilethal]

[gestures] Was I unclear?

[neonleon]

How would you know I'd be depressed.

un: badgirlcoven I voice

[edalyn]

You're... some of the kids that hang out with Rue, right? If you need someone who can fight you can bring me. Wouldn't want you dying or something.

[Depending on how much he's already seen her in passing, the layered effect her voice has might almost sound like a problem with the audio.]

(not here)

[ruevealing]

[BLESS YOU EDA. Rue will never forget this.]

voice; un: nobelbound

[semilethal]

We are those youths, yes. Leo and I can both fight, we just don't want to babysit anyone. If you'd like to come along, you're welcome.

I'm curious, what's your wingspan, approximately?

[edalyn]

Sure, kid. [It might be sarcasm, but her tone is very mild.]

And... I dunno, sixteen feet? Maybe more? Haven't exactly taken a measuring tape to 'em.

[clavesregni]

I'd like to accompany you. I'm skilled with a gun and have explored parts of Dogtown before.

voice; un: nobelbound

[semilethal]

Guns. Useful. Welcome aboard.

So that we don't run into this later, please do be aware that I am not a human boy and am in fact a bipedal mutant turtle man. [assuming that she like most offworlders here will be remarkably chill about it. it's a nice change of pace]

voice

[clavesregni]

What's a mutant?

[Turtle man? Sure, animal folk aren't uncommon in her world. But mutant? She has no idea what that means.]

[text, un: rue]

[ruevealing]

[Though Rue so much prefers the ease of video to speak face-to-face with their friends even when some distance separates them, for this particular address, they choose the ease of text, if only so their fear does not get in the way of this conversation.]

I wish that I had the prowess to go with you both, but I know I would only be a hindrance in your journey.

[and that is just fact, they all know this. but still, they want to help:]

Have you packed any snacks for the road yet? I would so hate for hunger to get in the way of your findings. I'd be happy to put something together for the both of you, if you'd like.

voice; un: nobelbound

[semilethal]

Food! Of course. Provisions. How could I forget. [he was planning on packing his lil hiking backpack with more important things like: sampling equipment, miscellaneous chemicals, and Weapons. Leo probably woulda got it, it's fine] I've always wanted to try the school lunchbox thing, can we do that?

voice.

[ruevealing]

If you can tell me all of what is included, I am happy to pack it for you, of course.

[a beat. and because rue can not help but add:]

You both will be safe, won't you? And you'll call if anything goes awry? Hob and I will there in an instant if you need us.
