'Something' sounds about right. Sure; knock yourself out. I think we might all need a rest, after that adventure.
Did you find anything you were looking for?

[He took a grateful sip of his tea, glad for the warmth, the sweetness, and the presence something more of the beverage.]
God. I've got the gist of what happened in that Dream, but it feels like there's so much more. Guess I'm gonna have to ask around.
[A shrug. Tuck and Vyng weren't good witnesses, and he had a feeling that the same could be said for Michael. ]
no subject
[ He tips his head towards an exhausted-looking Shiro in one corner, a similarly-exhausted-but-more-determined-not-to-look-it Mako in another. ]
It's taken me six months to piece together the basics, and I'm always learning more. It's been tough to scrape up any solid remnants of the place... most of it is stories.
no subject
[He trailed, with a frustrated frown obvious on his tired face. Huffing, he sipped at his tea.]
They're both friends of a friend from home, I think. It seems kinda like cheating if I just walk up to them and say 'Hi, I'm that weird frog guy Vyng's probably mentioned.'
That's cheating.
no subject
Don't worry, I'll make introductions. Your friends beat you here, then?
no subject
[A tired nod. There were others, of course, but Perell suspected they might be dead...]
That's not a bad thing-- but don't waste your time with that. I can make my own introductions later.
[Because, you know, a skinny nerd with big glasses who looked like a reject from the Indiana Jones School of Fashion was completely able to make his own friends when projectile toy frogs weren't involved.]
no subject
They settling in well, then? I was the first of my crew to make it here.
[ Crew like gang but also crew like I fished them up on a pirate ship and made them sail around. Normal stuff. ]
no subject
The one of them, Billie, is learning to fight from that one teacher in town-- Johnny, the young one who speaks rough but seems honest. Tuck and Vyng are... Themselves.
[a shrug.]
Those two were in the Dream that broke. I'm honestly surprised anyone made it out.
no subject
[ He gives the smile of a man trying to keep a straight face. ]
I don't know many folks who came through that, barring our local experts. Sounds like Trench is calm by comparison.
no subject
[This wasn't an insult. Anyone who spent too much time in the archives researching blood magic was terrible material to be a father-- Perell himself included.
He shrugged.]
I wouldn't get too judgey about this place. The winds are always the calmest before a storm.
no subject
[ He thinks he is very, very funny. ]
You may have a point there. If there's a pattern, I haven't found it yet.
no subject
[He commented, sipping at his tea and not realizing that this was more complimentary than he had guessed.]
Regardless, I'm planning to keep my eyes open. And, uh, hopefully get myself better prepared.
no subject
Well, at least I have that.
[ It is profoundly unclear whether he means this to be a joke or not. ]
If you're looking for any more expeditions, let me know. I'll keep poking around for clues here and there.
