[The video opens with a slight blur, slowly coming into focus as Tsuna is trying to make sure the angle's okay. It takes a minute or two but eventually he's satisfied.

Of course, in getting that set up, he's briefly forgotten how he was going to start this off so there's a few extra breaths as he gets his thoughts in order. He looks nervous but eventually, a level of confidence starts to show through. Tsuna isn't the kind of leader that charges forward, but when takes on the responsibility, he takes it seriously.]

So, uh...here's the thing. I want to go back to the desert.

We went there a while ago, around when I first arrived here, and I've always sort of had questions about it? So I think it might be worth another look.

I'd like to have a team to do that though. I remember there being monsters and things like that last time, so I don't want to go alone. So if you're interested, please let me know. I'm hoping to go soon.

[There's a moment as he considers if he missed anything, before the video ends.]

[ Well, Ange definitely is not opposed to snooping around. And she knows that going out of town by herself is difficult. Even if she can fight monsters, it's not exactly like a rich kid like Ange has a whole lot of random survival skills..

So in that sense, this seems like just about the perfect opportunity. ]

Do you think there will be anything to be found in particular out there?

[ Might as well pick Tsuna's mind a little first, she figures. ]

Or just monsters?

[theskyaccepts]

Well, I'm hoping there will be more than monsters.

But I remember there was also a bunch of old technology, so that might also be something.

Do you know how to navigate a desert?

[theskyaccepts]

[There is a slight pause and a panicked look on Tsuna's face as he thinks about this.]

Uh...no...not really. Kinda why I'm asking for help.

[To be fair, he does not know how to navigate much. Which might not be a ringing endorsement.]

[heir_conditioned]

Count me in. I will go with you. It's the least I can do.

[theskyaccepts]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I didn't think it would be a good thing to go alone.

[depressionnap]

explain why it interests you

text;

[theskyaccepts]

Well, uh...a bunch of reasons, I guess.
It's been a while since anyone's gone there, I think, and I'm wondering if anything's changed like Aldrip has.
And a while back I got this weird message about a place called Tresed, and I guess I want to see if there's more to that than it just being desert backwards.

I just think it's worth looking at it more

[solitarysoul]

When were you looking to go?

audio

[theskyaccepts]

Hopefully soon, if people are up for it.

[spidermenaces]

I can go

[theskyaccepts]

Great! I'm hoping we can head out next week!

[foxphorus]

What are you expecting to find?

text

[theskyaccepts]

Well, I guess whatever's there, honestly.
Maybe a clue of some sort
It's been a while so I can't quite remember everything that happened.
And maybe see if it was affected by the changes the way Aldrip was.

I was here when we went there, last year. I've thought about it often, too. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, and seeing if we might understand more now, with a different perspective. [She had been new, certainly, but most of the Chosen had only been there a few months by that time. While there was still a lot they didn't know, they knew more than they did then.]

video

[theskyaccepts]

It's the same for me, so I think it's worthwhile.

And one way or another, we'll know.

audio

[killjoyprince]

I've been wanting to know more about the land around us for a while. I have fighting experience but the logistics of a trip into such a place mean it's impossible to do alone.

[It was too far away for a quick trip and.... water, food, other supplies. It was more than she could carry while still being able to fight.]

Re: audio

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, it's why I want to bring a group. I know enough to know that going into the desert alone is probably a bad idea.

I've got a lot to put together. But I'm glad you're coming.

voice;

[joyboys]

Did you say monsters? I'm totally coming!!

[ desert what? he doesn't care. this screams of adventure!! ]

voice;

[theskyaccepts]

Uh, well, yeah. And great! We'll probably need someone to fight off the monsters if they show up.

[laserguy]

[The desert...? Isn't that where he killed those infected about a year ago? Scott nearly doesn't respond to Tsuna's post, various emotions pressing heavily on his chest, but his friend needs help. He can't ignore that. Just focus on that.]

I'll go with you, Tsuna. Good to have people around who are sort of familiar with the place, right?

voice;

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, definitely! Thanks Scott, really!

[There's a good amount of warmth there. The response has been kind of overwhelming but it's good to know his friends have his back.]

Voice

[paragonknight]

I thank you for the opportunity to keep my hands from becoming idle. Please allow me to join you on this venture. From your words it sounds as if there would be danger inherent to the journey.

I will join the efforts to guard you as you investigate—should misfortune befall you my spear will be close at hand.

[ Bro be yapping when a simple "I'll come too." would suffice but at least it sounds like his heart is in the right place! ]

Voice

[theskyaccepts]

Uh, yeah...of course. Thank you.

I remember there being monsters in the desert, so it would be good to have guards.

[Yosuke looks interested from the start.]

You guys went somewhere that wasn't here or those stupid woods?

[or Rumpitur. but he's not going to talk about Rumpitur. Yosuke and his homies don't talk about what happened out there.

mostly Yosuke.]

I'm totally in!

video

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah. It was a while ago...almost a year now that I think about it.

[Has it really been that long?]

But I'm glad to have you aboard!

audio

[melnik]

This is the first I'm hearing of your previous expedition!

[ They aren't acquainted until now, of course, but he'd have asked about it sooner if he knew to. ]

I would like to know more myself, so I will volunteer to join in.

audio

[theskyaccepts]

Well, it happened about a year ago, and a lot's gone on since then, so...yeah.

But that's great! I think the more people we have, the better.

[She had already been thinking about it, but since Peter threw his hat in, she had no choice, now. Can't let him run off and get into trouble without her!]

[theskyaccepts]

Great! I'm glad!

I think we're going to have a pretty big group going.

[ Marianne's first reaction is that of worry, and seeing the numerous responses from volunteers, she is hit with both dread that it's too late to put a stop to the notion and relief to know that Tsuna won't be facing the dangers alone. ]

Please count on my support as well, Tsuna. Um, I suggest we don't rush to set out. We'll want to pack adequate drinking water and supplies for the expedition.

voice

[theskyaccepts]

[He's not sure how much he should say about his sentencing, and how this is a part of that. But even so, it's still worth it.]

Thanks Marianne, really. And yeah, I wasn't planning on rushing, don't worry.

[But it might take longer than he thought it would, with how many people are coming.]

I've got a lot of work to do yet.

Voice;

[drugsnotclubs]

What'd you guys find last time that makes you wanna go back?

Voice;

[theskyaccepts]

There was a lot of stuff, really. Thinking about it, a lot of computer stuff that's kind of similar to what's here.

And I remember getting a message about Tresed, so, I want to figure out more about that. Or at least see if anything's changed.

text;

[izanagis]

I'm interested. I remember hearing a bit about the first trip, but it was before I got here.

text;

[theskyaccepts]

Great! It was one of the first things I remember happening, for me at least.

Which is why I think we should probably go back

text!

[luneminary]

Oh, I've never been to the desert before! What is it like?

I'm not much of a fighter, but maybe there's something I could do? (￣▽￣*)ゞ

text!

[theskyaccepts]

Well, there's a lot of sand. And also some ruins.

I could use some help though. How are you with organizing things?
