I suppose this is more convenient than going door to door.

It occurs to me that if we're to be spending more time here, it would help to have a map of sorts. I don't suppose anyone here is a cartographer--?

That doesn't seem terribly likely, but I thought I'd ask.

At any rate, I thought we might try mapping the "coastline," for a start. A small group primarily composed of combatants would be best for that. Is anyone interested? You can find me in the purple shack farthest from the mansion, if you'd like to discuss this in person. Ask for Jay.

Oh, and if you've already gone off exploring on your own--as I'm sure many of you have--I'd be interested to know what you've found. Send me a message?

((Let me know via PM or Plurk (prospit) if you'd like your character to be part of the mapping group?))

I'm a little concerned that any map you draw will take on a life of its own.

[He's mostly joking. If that wasn't obvious, he adds:]

You're welcome to come, of course--we could use someone who can draw.

[parodeity]

I think I gotta give it a magic twist, really...but yeah, count me in, then. Call me up whenever you wanna do it? I've got a sword and shit. It's sharp.

[rebells]

Ah, the best kind.

[This said a bit teasingly.]

I think the when depends on who else responds. I'll be sure to let you know.

[parodeity]

Thanks, dude. I'm pretty much free most times, sooo.

[rebells]

Yes, I suppose our schedules aren't exactly booked, are they?

[He sounds dry.]

[parodeity]

None of the library books seem to be remotely readable, so even that avenue of entertainment is out?

[rebells]

You lived in a more populated area than I did, if you had libraries and zoos nearby.

But yes. It's disappointing that whatever power is allowing us to communicate with one another doesn't seem to apply to physical text.

[parodeity]

I'm from Houston, Texas. It's a pretty big city.

[ AND YET, HE RARELY LEFT HIS APARTMENT... ]

Maybe it eventually will apply to physical text?

[rebells]

If we're very good and help this Qri with whatever collecting magical energy from different worlds entails, you mean?

[parodeity]

Maybe. Though beyond lettin' us go home and apparently the universe needin' it, I haven't heard what all this magical energy will let us do?

[rebells]

No, they've been rather vague about that so far. I wonder if Genette and Brie even know.

[parodeity]

I'm not convinced they do. From what I understand Qri ain't the chatty sort?

[rebells]

That was my impression as well. Incidentally, do you think she can hear us?

[parodeity]

Like, right now? Maybe. I mean...she's in contact with our defacto leaders somehow, so...

[rebells]

Yes, she talks to them using telepathy, does she not? And I presume these signets are her creation in the first place.

[parodeity]

Yeah. So it's fair to think that she knows everythin' that goes on via the signets.
