For the Map Group: After taking down the assassin, morale is teetering and everyone is weary. At least you've finally reached the village, which doesn't look at all how you might have imagined it: everything is bright and tidy, and the smoke you'd seen from afar had been nothing more than the bakery's chimney. As you enter the town, you notice there are people walking around, seemingly oblivious to the carnage in the canyon.

For the Compass Group: You're tired of walking. There's a long stretch of orc and corpse-free land, and it would be a perfect spot to camp. After the beating you endured in the caves, there's no way you could keep going without taking a break.

[ mission: rest and recuperate. ]

[butgrandma]

I'm used to running, at least.

[sounds a little bitter about it tbh]

[crotchbite]

[ pulls on the shirt again ]

Here or elsewhere?

[butgrandma]

Both, I guess.

Though I enjoyed running much more before coming here.

[she just rediscovered control over her wolf and got to take it out for a spin before all this]

[crotchbite]

I think everyone enjoyed things much more before coming here.

[ grabs the rum bottle and saves the rest ]

Do you have water on you?

[butgrandma]

[shuffles around and produces a canteen from the swirling vortex of her confusing layers]

What did you do? Before you came here?

[hands it]

[crotchbite]

[ she did girls. ]

Private... security.

[ she's so good with excuses i can't. ]

[butgrandma]

Like a bodyguard?

[crotchbite]

Something like that.

[ takes the canteen to drink some water

kind of needs to rest but doesn't want to fall asleep because she has some Trust Issues with this groupe ]

[butgrandma]

[you look drowsy.]

I'll stay with you.

[crotchbite]

Sorry?

[butgrandma]

You should rest. I'll stay here.

[if you're worried]

[crotchbite]

[ looks at her from head to toe and then laughs a little ]

I'm fine. [ hands her back the canteen ]

[butgrandma]

[tucks it away again]

You'll only make it harder on yourself to heal if you keep pushing it.

[crotchbite]

[ moment of silent staring then she just sighs and rubs her forehead ]

You're probably right. But you don't need to stay. [ picks up the crossbow ]

[butgrandma]

You say that like I'd mind.

[crotchbite]

Wouldn't you?

[butgrandma]

Of course not. Like I said, it's the least I can do.

[gets one of the blankets out of their pack and rolls it out for her]

[crotchbite]

[ takes blanket

she knows she's naïve and innocent and shit, but after that naive and innocent girl she had, she trusts no bitch being nice to her out of niceness. so she just eyes her suspiciously for a moment ]

Okay. [ slowly lays down and wraps the blanket around her

takes the crossbow with anyway ]

[butgrandma]

[has no idea]

I'll wake you if anything happens. Sleep well.

[settles in for a long night]

[crotchbite]

[ badreputation.mp3 ]

Yeah, do that.

[ lays on her good arm and nods off pretty fast since infection and shit mmhmm

gonna have some weird ass dreams tonight ]
