To those who fought in the war...

Thank you, and welcome back. I'm afraid words aren't enough to say how thankful all of us are to see everyone safe after fighting for our sake. If you've lost someone on the battlefield... I'm deeply sorry. They fought bravely, and I know they'll return to us soon...

[Words really aren't enough. Stella purses

[markofthewise]

... so is that called a Sea-xth sense or what?

[Get it? GET IT?]

[goldenfirefly]

... A what?

[No, not really.]

[markofthewise]

[...]

... a sixth sense. For detecting seas. [Ugh. You should never have to explain the joke.]

[goldenfirefly]

... Oh! I see. [Well then, have a belated chuckle!] Yes, you could say that!

[markofthewise]

[... oh, well at least she gets it now. And liked it. Score.]

Yeah, well I've got plenty of- [Now wait a second.] What do you mean you sense a sea anyway?

[goldenfirefly]

Mm, it's hard to explain. I just... feel it. It's an ability we're born with.

[markofthewise]

[He's heard stranger, so he lets it go. Almost.]

But wouldn't that mean there is ocean in Luceti?

[goldenfirefly]

I know it sounds ridiculous, but... I'm almost sure of it. I'm going to check later, just to be sure... [And to settle that insistent pulling. It's almost like the ocean is calling to her.]

[markofthewise]

Oceans don't just come out of nowhere... [On the other hand, Catherine warned them about tsunamis, right?]

Maybe it's related to that underwater ocean base. We did get warned about tsunamis penetrating the barrier, right?

[goldenfirefly]

Yes... Yes, that's right. If the water did break through, then... Perhaps this feeling isn't so far-fetched.

[markofthewise]

Which means it would be desert side. You're going to check it out, right?

[Why yes, yes he did hack your silly weak filter.]

[goldenfirefly]

Well, of course. [Even if he didn't, it should be fairly obvious that she's going to go. At least, to her.] I'll let everyone know what we've found. Or would you rather come along? [There might be DANGEROUS THINGS and all.]

[markofthewise]

[He wasn't going to offer, but geez, it is pretty tempting now. Hnnngh. And dangerous things + Fenimore and Shirley is not a good combination.]

Well if there is an ocean, we should check it out. We could always take a shortcut, it would take a day off the trip at least...

[Oh but wait!] What about Sophie?

[goldenfirefly]

I had planned on letting someone watch over her. [It's half the reason why she pinged Cloud; She had hoped to let him watch over her. Then again, maybe it'd be best if she pinged Sheena for it... But she might still be tired from the war.] Hopefully, I'll be able to find someone...

You know of a shortcut, though?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka is now torn. He had offered to watch Sophie. On the other hand... ocean. Hmmm...]

Uh... well, yeah, there is the teleporter to the hot springs. It would get you halfway across the mountains, at least. Then you just have to work your way past the rest.

[goldenfirefly]

The dangers of the forest would be out of the way, then... Where is the teleporter?
