Entry #2 [Accidental Video Post // Public] [Thursday evening, day 45 of his stay; gone since day 10]

[gimmesometassel]

[The video feed begins with a loud thump, and the fluttering of pages as Carpet's journal-book hits the ground outside the Hotel That Never Was. Facing straight up as it is, the journal is in a good position to catch Carpet himself showing up, dangling precariously from the limbs of a nearby tree, with tendrils of mist still clinging to him. He's

[Gasps and grins, waving frantically at the camera.] Carpetttt! Hey man, where've you been?

[gimmesometassel]

[A very floppy Carpet lifts one edge to peer blearily at the camera, then folds a tassel into a finger, pointing up and away; he means he's been flying around outside of town, of course, but he's not yet feeling up to an active game of Charades.]

[soldierboy777]

Uh...[Tilts his head curiously, trying to make sense of that. Of course, with Zack, it's always a hit-or-miss.] Been around town, huh?

[For a long moment, Carpet simply stares at the screen in something like disbelief; he might have laughed, if he could--but then again, that might've lead to vomiting, if he could do that, either. But he's in far too much pain for a real game of Charades--he's going to just have to do this as well as he can. So he gropes for his journal's pen, and tries to sketch out what he means by exploring, courtesy of lots of different depicted landscapes, plus an indication of the storm; the post type switches to text as he starts to draw.]

[video => text] *rolls* that's amazing xD

[soldierboy777]

Uh... [Blinks in surprise and tilts his head practically at a ninety degree angle. Hey, Carpet wasn't a bad artist for a guy with no opposable thumbs. Or limbs.] Did you...get caught in the storm or something?

[video] XD Thank you~ *bows*

[gimmesometassel]

[For that matter, he isn't a bad artist for someone with a raging hangover, either. Carpet only nods at Zack's question--it's true, after all, and close enough that he doesn't feel like bothering to correct him.]

[video] \o/

[soldierboy777]

[Zack stares at the drawing some more, trying to make some sense out of it. This may take awhile.] And...you were in the forest or something? [Laughs gently] Sorry, I'm bad at this. You're really out of it, aren't you?

[video => text (again; sorry, but I can't draw THAT well)]

[gimmesometassel]

[Carpet nods, rather miserably; forest and other places besides, and he is more than a little out of it. He thinks for a moment, trying to figure out what might aggravate the pain he's in the least, then gropes for his pen again.]

[They're not very good maps he's starting to draw as the post switches to text, but they're hopefully enough to get the point across; he's drawing a series of different ones, with the town and sea the only stable elements in all of them. The others show how wildly the landscape can vary, as he'd found, portraying the town surrounded by everything from desert to forest to mountain to even a barren, frozen tundra.]
