[the transmission cuts in and out since their party is quite some distance from the city in the mountains – and under one – but Law is sure going to give it the ol' college try here. Part and parcel of his campaign to share information publicly]

I'm recording this in the hopes that it can reach the city, but if not, I can replay it later when we return. We've reached a bunker [fzzt...garbled words] like the caves, for those who’ve been here long enough to remember. This one has a surprise in it.

[he pans over to where Caedra is eagerly poking at a star chart of some kind, a technological marvel with shining points of light. Now, pirate boy here has seen maps before but star maps are pretty unique, even for astral navigation. The room itself is pretty technologically advanced, event compared to Hadriel itself]

This is...something between technology and magic as far as I'm concerned. If you touch one of those stars, you feel things. Emotions but also physiological response. Even though [fzzt] in here I felt cold, it stimulated nerve sensation. We're testing out as many as we can before we get tired of it but I wanted to send back an image.

[It's at this moment that Caedra reaches forward toward one of the points on the map, but quickly she withdraws her finger with a hiss of pain and a glare at the offensive point of light.]

So far that's all we've found here. No natives, no bodies. I plan to col- [more garbling and pixelating] before we come back. Oh...and it's just the two of us now. Black Leg-ya disappeared an hour ago, right in front of us.

[he looks vaguely disgruntled about that. Lucky bastard gets to go home. Law out]

((ooc: replies may come from either Law or Caedra or both))

To be fair, I was expecting a lot better than that. But going in guns blazing probably would have ended up with a lot more than one god dead, so.

You're probably right. If we'd had a chance to fight back, we could have maybe saver her, but we also could have all died. Guess there's no way of knowing now.

[hot_mes]

Hindsight being what it is. All we can do is move forward.

Still. Buckle in for whatever's coming immediately...we're going to be at least ten days out, two weeks at the most. [haha sucks to be you guys, although now he's stuck alone with Caedra and she's very handsy um...]

[itsnotaonesie]

[lmao i'm sorry sucks to be WHO now]

We'll have our hands full back here, for sure, but be careful out there.

[well the sex is usually good but not in the middle of a snowbank, or a deserted nautilus city for that matter]

Yeah. Not planning to die in a shitty place like this.

[you mean to tell me that the freaky demon lady isn't dtf in the most fucked up and freaky places? i am shock]

Yeah, we can't afford to lose anyone else. Good luck.
