[OH HAY ED.]

What are you doing?

priceoftruth November 10 2009, 03:34:14 UTC

[--Oh goddammit he wasn't expecting company] ...What's it look like?

bends_lightning November 10 2009, 03:35:24 UTC

None of this tells us how to get out of the city.

[She leans on the wall.]

It's all too dated.

priceoftruth November 10 2009, 03:41:33 UTC

[Frowns a little, eyeing the large map again.] Of course it doesn't -- but it's not like they're careless enough to just leave an answer like that lying around, either. If we want a way out, we'll need to bargain. Which means figuring out what the hell they're after in the first place.

bends_lightning November 10 2009, 03:43:47 UTC

They're trying to rebuild their own city. They're just going about it wrong.

And that means they don't want us to leave. It doesn't matter what we offer them.

[She looks at the map too.] Do you think any of those cities have anyone living in them?

priceoftruth November 10 2009, 03:45:53 UTC

They might be, but I wouldn't be so sure that's all they want.

[He pauses, pocketing his journal and folding his arms over his chest.]

Dissimulo is deserted. Accido...I've heard it mentioned before. [...] I think that's where Miriama was from. She said there were others...other people alive. Maybe.

bends_lightning November 10 2009, 03:48:10 UTC

Even if someone could make it there, what would be the point?

priceoftruth November 10 2009, 03:52:42 UTC

You never know. [He falls silent for a minute.]

...They may be the bastards in charge, but they're people, too. They have things they care about. Things they might be willing to trade or bargain for.

bends_lightning November 10 2009, 03:54:30 UTC

[Well that sounds like something she would do. She smirks.]

And how do you plan to find out what those things are?

priceoftruth November 10 2009, 04:03:02 UTC

[He eyes her for a minute, fully aware that it'll be a cold day in hell when he can fully trust her. But...]

Figure out who they are. What they're doing.

[He reaches out, taps at the word 'Accido' on the map.]

I have a feeling it's got a lot to do with whatever's happened between this city and those people.

bends_lightning November 11 2009, 00:09:32 UTC

Those people?

Have you been there before?

priceoftruth November 11 2009, 16:34:51 UTC

No, but I figure that finding a way to get there couldn't hurt.

[She studies the map.]

We just need a mode of transportation.

priceoftruth November 13 2009, 17:47:55 UTC

Or at least the right direction.

[He pauses, eyeing her; that was awfully specific, come to think of it...]

Unless you've got something in mind?

bends_lightning November 13 2009, 18:00:09 UTC

[She tries to approximate the distance to Accido, though it's hard to tell how long it would take on foot. Too long.]

Well there must be some way. If the monsters here can't be tamed, we must have the technology.

[She looks at him.]

Don't you know how to build an engine? You can bend metal.

priceoftruth November 14 2009, 08:13:02 UTC

[He's starting to get a bad feeling -- or more specifically, a feeling like he's about to end up saddled with a hell of a lot of work.]

Tch-- engines are complicated. It's not as simple as just making the parts.
