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...

[She notices the frown and wonders on it]

It'll take a little getting used to, but I'll be glad of the change. I missed getting to go to sleep early.

[Minako is deliberately cheerful about it. It's also a habit; see someone being down about something, try and cheer them up somehow]

Early to bed, early to rise type, are you?

[And Izunia falls into a smile with that same sort of deliberate ease. He's been wearing that hat for a long time, kid.]

When I can! I never really saw the point in staying up late when you didn't need to. Especially when the next day was a school day.

[With how draining it was, dealing with the Dark Hour and then having to get up early the next day for school, Minako very much appreciated the idea of sleep]

[He chuckles.]

Well, that certainly hasn't been a concern for me for a very long time.

Really? You don't seem to be that old.

[The chuckle makes her smile though, glad of it]

[And that - That comment gets an outright laugh as he shakes his head over the mug.]

Looks can be very much deceiving. I'm a bit over two thousand.
fullmoonfool: (Hey!)

[personal profile] fullmoonfool 2018-09-16 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets her to pause, before she can't help but giggle]

Oh. I guess you would be a few years out of school then, yeah. [She is more than willing to tease herself] I'll stand by my statement though! You look very good for over two thousand.

I appreciate the compliment. Though, the secret isn't actually exercise, in spite of what your doctors might tell you.

[He winks.]
fullmoonfool: (Hey!)

[personal profile] fullmoonfool 2018-09-16 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Gasp] I knew it.

[Of course she's going to play along. Plus she's pretty sure she gets enough exercise anyway. Tartarus is good for that]

Though if you say it's eating the right food, I'm going to be sad. I don't want to give up good desserts.
founderinglight: ([my place plz])

[personal profile] founderinglight 2018-09-18 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That depends on what you mean by the right food.

[He smiles.]

The real secret is living life to the fullest, after all. No matter how long it lasts.
fullmoonfool: (Looking back)

[personal profile] fullmoonfool 2018-09-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Any food is the right food, as far as I'm concerned.

[She nods wisely and. Barely manages to not flinch at his next words. It's fine, everything is fine]

That's true...living life to the fullest. Hard to learn, but true.
