[ So, it's been a while since he'd gone out and come back, and whether anyone wants to listen to what he has to say, he's going to talk about it anyway. ]

making new sand paths doesn't seem to lead anywhere important
there aren't even any other people close by
i don't know what the natives here are telling everyone but i think we're really stuck here

where i'm from the things that try to eat us live on land
most people moved to the sea and became pirates
i'm not saying we should do that but it might be safer [ No matter how much he actually hates the water. ]

or if we're going to stay here wouldn't it make sense to protect ourselves from the sound eaters???
weapons or something
do they have any weaknesses
has anyone tried to figure that out?

i'm not going to stick around and wait for them to kill us
so i'm going out again if anyone wants to go with me
i want to get a closer look at those things and what they do

How'd yer last trip go?

[norms]

fine i guess it was boring
there wasn't much to find

[ But he does forward a few pictures he'd taken of the railway station they'd found. It's just as abandoned as anything else and blocked off so no one can enter the platform area. ]

[justbeingknife]

I'll come with if you're plannin' to take a look at the Sound Eaters. You got an idea of what you wanna do once you're there?

[norms]

not really i haven't seen them before
have you gone there?
maybe we should just watch them for a while or something

You are a gloomy fellow. Anyone ever tell you that? I'm getting depressed just reading this.

[norms]

do you say this kind of stuff to people you don't know???

[ He's not answering that question, fyi. ]

[flyguy]

Uh, I like to say what's on my mind. Unless you prefer I lie to you? Let me know, we can do lunch about it.

How do you know new paths don't lead anywhere? Last I checked there wasn't an whole lot of work put into that front. The prognosis sounds a little premature. Just calling it like I see it.

[norms]

me too but there's some stuff you don't say

i've been on a lot of them and made them too
i think this is really the middle of nowhere
if you don't believe me check them yourself :)

[s i g h. another day, another young guy with a death wish. what is up with all these people agitating the Sound Eaters?? She's all for finding out more intel, but there has to be safer ways.]

You talk about safety, but then you're going to go chase after them to see what they can do? That's not safe!

[norms]

i never said i was going to get close enough to touch them
i'm not stupid

[iisupergirlii]

Well, I really hope not. But it's so easy to be careless when you're scared.

[ !!! ]

do you know where they are, or are you just exploring?

[norms]

i know where they're supposed to be
have you seen them before?

[unchancy]

i haven't.

[ but that begs the question — ]

have you?

[norms]

not yet
but that's one reason why i want to go

[ Can't learn about something he really knows nothing about. ]

There are still fish in the water.

[ #useful ]

[norms]

are you trying to catch the fish??

[ The most important question here because he loves fish. ]

[priwen]

I speared a few during the rain.

They are edible.

[norms]

just because we can eat them doesn't mean we should stay here
you know that right?

un: nishizono

[nishizono]

if you're gonna get us all killed, mind letting me know ahead of time so i can eat?

[norms]

i'm not trying to get anyone killed
if you're worried about it maybe you should eat now :)

[nishizono]

which is it, you egg
are we up for death or is it on hold?

I'll come with you. I can probably make weapons if I have some raw materials at hand. Have you seen any owls out there by any chance? I really need to get the lay of the land.

[norms]

i don't know what kind of materials you'd need
and i haven't seen anything out there
maybe a deer sometimes but not a lot

[darksmokerising]

Metal, wood, rubber, glass, I guess it's mostly a big 'what's out there to use' question. I'm surprised there are enough for hunting, honestly. I guess I'm gonna have to come with just to satisfy my curiosity. I'll ask around or if there are museums, there might be bone and feather there.

It's a thought.
