Yo~. Since we're expected to hand over reports to be graded by the end of the week and not be arrested, Tachibana and I are leaving town to take a field trip and look around.

Figured I'd say something in case someone's looking for us [ stranger things have happened ] or if we don't come back. If the latter happens don't bother looking for us because it means we're dead.

[ It's fair to note that while he definitely doesn't sound like he's kidding about the last part (because he isn't) he's also not at all expecting that to be even remotely possible. They're pretty resilient in their ability to survive even the most unfortunate of things. ]

Anyone need or want something from out there? [ like a souvenir from the faerie tribe's local gift shop or something... he doesn't know, okay. do you realize how desperately bored he is to be willing to wander around scouting landscape in the freakin' dark, he's going stir-crazy. ]

Someone kindly keep us informed while we're gone, too? [ he is actually very seriously expecting all the fun stuff to happen while they're out. ]

See you guys in a week, then.

Really? You're going by yourselves, just the two of you?

[ Surprise! She's curious. ]

[tachiboner]

I don't think we'd be opposed to company, but we're also not fool enough to expect many people to be chomping at the bit for the chance to wander in circles in the dark, either.

[digophelia]

Well, it may be better than sitting around for some, even if it is wandering in the dark. It's not as if there is a lot to do in the Chantes.

[tachiboner]

And what there is to do hardly requires several dozen of us on hand to do it.

[digophelia]

So, the lot of you shouldn't be out for too long, yes?

[tachiboner]

It probably depends on what we find out there, but we plan to be back in time for the meeting.

[digophelia]

Would it be too late to ask what you were hoping to find?

[ Maybe she should have asked that first before deciding to jump in. ]

[tachiboner]

Either a new lead, or a decisive enough lack of them to confirm that our problem is as contained as we've been assuming.

[digophelia]

I see, then I'll help you. Admittedly, it's become very dull around here, anyway.

[tachiboner]

A change of scenery might do us some good. Nobody's at their sharpest when they're going stir-crazy.

[digophelia]

You don't have to tell me.

[ Oh, she knows, she doesn't want to say she spent 10 years nearly in a padded room. ]

I'm sure you could use more eyes, anyway. What is your name, sir? My name is Alice Liddell.

[tachiboner]

Muneshige Tachibana. A pleasure to meet you, Alice.

Just us, but you should come along if you're bored and up for it. We are great travel companions and we can talk about all the things.

[ how much more vague on subject matter can you get but he means totally well! ]

[digophelia]

[ It may end up being like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum at this rate. ]

Oh, possibly, if you can manage not getting too lost.

[inroad]

...Now that you mention it, I guess there's a first time for everything. So, it means you should come along even more to keep an eye on us, right?

[ thank you Alice he likes having more convincing reasons to give people in why they should agree to any of his suggestions and asking her for help specifically is much better! ]

[digophelia]

Keep an eye on you?

[ Seems like fate keeps pushing her her to becoming the residential Team Mom around here. She's not sure what to think. ]

Well, I could, yes, but I would hope two grown men are quite capable of fending for themselves.

[ Then again she can think of a few who haven't really proved themselves as very adult. ]

[inroad]

Oh, is that so? [ what faith!! ] Well, we won't disappoint you, then.

[ but honestly her hopes are granted in this case, at least: it's a cakewalk for them they do this shit back home regularly. ]

[digophelia]

Yes, please, I have my hands full already with a man who proclaims he has a the heart of a boy or whatever nonsense he told me.

[ Gintoki is odd and an overgrown little boy. ]

Besides, all of you are taller than me, so it isn't exactly I can't pull anyone's ears.

1/2

[inroad]

[ OH MY GOD HE'S FINALLY TALLER THAN SOMEONE IN THIS STUPID PLACE.]

[inroad]

[ —erm. anyway... ]

Maybe you can sell him for some underground secrets in this place.

[digophelia]

[ Please don't insult her height, she hates being tiny. ]

[digophelia]

Why would I do that? I wouldn't sell my friend.

[inroad]

[ how tiny is she... ]

Oh, if he's a friend, then I see your problem.

[digophelia]

[ From malnutrition and lack of sunlight, Alice is shorter than some of the children around here. She feigns a smile -- a very sarcastic smile. ]

Is it? I hardly see how it's a problem, it isn't as if he's done anything bad other than he could stand to learn a few manners.

[inroad]

[ oh she is tiny! luckily he's not much of a person in regards to making fun of people on physical things like that unless he really really hates them.

however, women with sarcastic smiles did NOT end well for him last time back home so he laughs, waving a hand dismissively at the feed. ]

Whoa, Miss Alice. He must be really important to you to be so quick to defend.

Relax. I meant no harm to either of you.
