[Filtered away from the City's deities, otherwise open.]

[Luke glances at a sheet of paper in his hand, then looks over the communicator. Oh yeah, the video function is on. Well, his last announcement was a video too, so he might as well keep the thing going.]Good morning, everyone. This is about the expedition

[Oh yeah, the expedition he had been planning.] I can help. I cook at home and I think my waterbending can make soups and stews faster to make.

[chosenfake]

Right! If you want to make that a permanent thing, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just have you on kitchen duty while we're gone.

Thanks, by the way. I really appreciate it.

[drizzlinginside]

I will, when I find this easier and less embarrassing to do. [You know, because you don't have to parade in costumes?]

And really, it's fine. I'm glad I can help.

[chosenfake]

What's embarrassing?

[LMFAO SO OBLIVIOUS]

[dude_imbatman]

What you hoping to find out about the barrier?

[chosenfake]

I want to know what's outside of it. It'll just be my group going out there. The City won't be in danger... unless I mess things up somehow.

[dude_imbatman]

Yeah, let's try not to do that. My mom lives here now.

[chosenfake]

There are people important to me here, too! That's why I want-- I have to do this.

[leviathanclaw]

You have a fun time out there, milord. Just remember to stop by before you go, ja.

[video]

[chosenfake]

Ah, just Luke is fine...

And don't worry, I'll make sure to say goodbye to everyone before I go.

[video]

[leviathanclaw]

Good. Very good.

And how exactly do you plan to make it through?

[video]

[chosenfake]

... Ah... We're going to use magic.

[Among other things.]

[eagleofautozam]

It sounds like you have just about everything you will need.

[Since he was talking about returning in two weeks or more. ]

But, you are actually planning on returning to the City after you explore? I thought you were trying to escape it.

[video]

[chosenfake]

Just about...

[He checks over his list again, then shakes his head.]

It's not really any help if we find a way out and then never tell anyone about it, right? Besides, most of the people coming with me are also working on the barrier. It would be cruel to abandon everyone in the City.

[video]

[eagleofautozam]

[Strange actions must be questioned, so at the head shake. ]

What is it? Something you overlooked?

[]As for the rest. ]

That is very noble of you, but if you find a way to leave it might be better to take it. I can’t imagine that getting back in through the barrier would be any easy than getting out has proved to be and you might be able to communicate with us through the barrier which would make your return unnecessary.

[Devil’s Advocate. He doesn’t want this expedition to become trapped in linear thinking. That could be dangerous. ]

[video]

[chosenfake]

No, I've got everything. It's fine.

[He's usually a bad liar, but he's firm about this-- and also about coming back.]

We'll see what happens. I don't know what's out there, and we're going to find out. That's the point of this expedition.

[video]

[derse_princess]

Duly noted.

Is there anything I can do to assist with preparation?

[video]

[chosenfake]

Well... do you still want to make blankets? We're going to be on water for most of it, so it could get kind of cold.

Other than that, I can't really think of anything.

[video]

[derse_princess]

I have some already made. Safely stored where my new houseguests cannot reach them. Hopefully I will be able to complete some more in the time we have.

[video]

[chosenfake]

Thanks, Rose. Every bit helps.

-- Houseguests? Do I want to know?
