DUNGEON LOG - TELOVIA MINES

The day dawns bright and early - the same as most every expedition. The only difference is that you'll need to take the teleportation pad to Lodestone as a starting point - the gliders and drones are already there. There's clouds on the horizon, though, so if you're going to take a glider and go, you'd better get going.

There's some new additions, though, to the usual group of androids seeing you off. Tau is checking over the drones ready to carry those who can't or won't use the gliders, and Muon is practicing opening and collapsing the wings of a glider with bright yellow sails. She grins at anyone who approaches, shooting them a thumbs up.

"Don't worry about getting lost or falling behind! As long as Tau's here, they'll keep us all together."

And with that bit of bright cheer, it's off towards the mountains you go...

----

From the air, the remains of the mining town are almost impossible to tell from any other part of the forest. The trees - especially the old ones - are much thinner, and that's really the only sign of what's below.

But Muon's bright yellow glider, leading the way, dips down into the treeline before landing in an open space, and anyone who isn't paying enough attention to follow will feel their glider being herded in the same direction by Tau's power - control not outright taken, but more of a nudge, like, hey buddy it's this way. The group lands just beyond the border of the Fissure - a tiny stable spot in whatever's left of this world.

And a good thing, too, because landing in the Fissure itself could prove quite difficult...

For sure... I will never complain about a summer in Tsugaru ever again.
foolishjustice: (Give me a moment to think...)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-09 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...I might still complain about summers in Tokyo, but not as badly.
hairpincurves: (so look inside the mirror)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-09 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd probably like Tsugaru weather. It tends to run cooler than Tokyo does... We get lots of snow in the winter, too!
foolishjustice: (May I help you?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-09 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds like I would. We barely get any snow in Tokyo, so I've always wanted to visit somewhere that gets more.
hairpincurves: ('cuz for every broken promise)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-09 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You should definitely visit if you get a chance. I can point out some cool stuff for you to check out if you do.

[She figures if he's visiting it'd probably be in his own world.]
foolishjustice: (It's a pleasure to meet you.)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-09 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I do have duties that mean I have to be in Tokyo at certain times, but there shouldn't be anything stopping me from taking short trips out of the city.

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-10 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Tsugaru is definitely worth visiting, I think. Definitely during the winter if you could manage it. The other seasons definitely aren't bad though.
foolishjustice: (Shall I explain?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I missed entrance exams for this year, so I shouldn't have anything but whatever temporary work I get to support myself through college occupying my time.
hairpincurves: (are you in the shadows?)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-10 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, looking excited.]

I'd like to show you stuff myself, but... ahaha, I imagine you'd at least prefer to stick to your world.
foolishjustice: (May I help you?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-10 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on if we get free access back and forth. I don't want to bother the person I know who can shift worlds too much, but I wouldn't mind visiting others if I don't have to rely on his help.
hairpincurves: (the truth is hard to swallow)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-10 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I hope we do.

[... She's been trying to avoid thinking about it too much.]
foolishjustice: (Shall I explain?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
There's already been discussion of possible methods. I think we'll be able to figure something out.
foolishjustice: (May I help you?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-10 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
At the very least, I can look into getting the people here the app I can normally use to send messages across worlds.
hairpincurves: (the truth is hard to swallow)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-10 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's that.

... I know it can't be avoided forever, but I don't really want to even consider going home at this point... I know it sounds terrible, but...

[... She's not ready to return to her own Tokyo. She doesn't even want to think about it, yet...

It keeps coming up...]
foolishjustice: (Shall I explain?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-11 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
But you'd miss your friends here. I understand, it's why I'm so determined to make sure we can at least keep in touch.
hairpincurves: (surrender the throne)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-11 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I definitely appreciate it.

[... Goro, you might be getting leaned against a little.]
foolishjustice: (May I help you?)

[personal profile] foolishjustice 2018-09-11 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Then Akana might be getting an arm around her shoulders.]

Seven-san is...eccentric, but I think he'd be willing to help. Even if I am a bit hesitant to introduce him to Futaba-chan. At least without being able to vacate the country, myself.
hairpincurves: (we're knocking at your door)

[personal profile] hairpincurves 2018-09-11 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Dead serious:] ... He and Futaro-kun need to never meet, if you're hesitant to introduce him to Futaba-chan.
