[antiseptic]

Log Deputy: Rei antiseptic and Charles makeitquick
Participating Characters: Jade Curtiss, Imogen Moreno, Flynn, Chris Ramirez, Ezreal, Melaka Fray, William Flemming, Varun "Banzu" Elmas, Eren Jaeger, Armin Arlert, Elhaym van Houten (Elly), Ondorus Univir, Lux Crownguard...possibly more! Feel free to gatecrash the party at any time.
Plot Description: A group of intrepid explorers set out in search of an iron mine. Things probably don't go as expected.
Warnings/Notes: Possible violence?

QUICK LINKS: Pre-exploration mingling | Travel | Arrival at Caverns | Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3

Overview:
At 6AM, the group will be meeting at the city gates, where there'll be some time for mingling and last minute emergencies before they set off.

The group will travel east through the Verdant Forest for around half a day before reaching the Caverns. It will be freezing with a few flurries of snowfall. Try not to get lost! Or disturb hibernating Pokemon, for that matter.

At the Caverns, Jade will split everyone up into three groups. Group 1 will consist of Elly, Eren, Armin, Ondorus, Chris. Group 2 will be Jade, Melaka, Banzu, Flynn. Group 3 is Imogen, Ezreal, Flemming, and Lux. These groups aren't fixed, and characters are free to protest and try move around! Ideally, each group will end up with at least 4 members just for safety's sake.

Aaand after that, the exploration begins! At first there'll be nothing but caves and tunnels, but it shouldn't take very long for that to change...


Misc notes: Feel free to go wild with thread-jacking! The mods recommend not strictly enforcing a post order since things will probably stall that way. Also, if anyone wants a random wild Pokemon bonding encounter going in the mountains during any of this, just respond to the Map post as usual!

If you need to ask any questions, the quickest way to get in touch with me will be through PMs.

You convinced me. Well, you and Eren. [lbr, even if they haven't met him personally, everyone who knows Armin knows of Eren.

Meredith will peep softly and wave one arm at Camille.]

[ladyofluminosity]

I did, really? What about your grandfather?

[It's catch-up time! Camille will start to chat her up, giving her the run-down of what she's been through. Sounds like a lot. Also she doesn't give you a lot of space to talk, Mer, so I hope you like listening.]

[tinytactician]

I-I'll go back before he misses me. Right?

[lol Armin's pretending they're only gonna be gone for like, an hour. Meredith is an excellent listener, nodding seriously and offering Camille some soothing psychic vibes.]

[ladyofluminosity]

Of course! I believe in you.

[It's okay, she doesn't realize how long it'll be either.

Awwww yiss soothing brain beams Camille is all for this.]

Does he know you're gone?

[tinytactician]

[Watch them be gone for days and end up fretting and annoying everyone. Armin sort of...fidgets now.]

He...no, he had a meeting. He thinks I'm at home. Studying. I...may have told him that I was.

[ladyofluminosity]

Did you at least leave a note?

[tinytactician]

....I probably ought to have done that, huh.

[ladyofluminosity]

[Armin...]

It's probably too late now. I'm sure it will be all right.

[tinytactician]

How angry do you think he'll be?

[ladyofluminosity]

I don't know? I've been told that things might get dangerous, but if we're careful we should be okay. I think as long as you come back in one piece, he can't be too mad.

[She doesn't sound very confident.]

[tinytactician]

Right. It isn't going to be that dangerous. We might see some...some Zubats or something, right?

[lol in light of the encounter thread, this is hilarious.]

[ladyofluminosity]

Or Geodudes maybe.

[Sie sind das essen und wir sind die Zubat.]

[tinytactician]

Or Cleffas!

[Armin likes cute pink things. Even if they don't...really live in...caves.]

[ladyofluminosity]

Isn't it rare to see a Cleffa in the wild?

[She would love to see and bond with one, though!]

[tinytactician]

Rare, yes, but not impossible! Anything is possible!

[ladyofluminosity]

This is true, so maybe!

[Now she really wants to find some Cleffas.]
