Day 428 - Open Action
Morning

Ice cream for breakfast was perfectly okay. Mal's not paying much attention to the ice cream though. Sure he's eating it, but mostly he's standing across from the entrance to sector 6, staring intently at the door.

Late morning - Early afternoon

Mal was a flurry of activity. He didn't plan to be gone long - only a few hours - but he did need decent supplies. Water for one. A small bag of supplies he could stash somewhere in sector 6 for later. And of course his trusty pitchfork from the stable. Once he had everything he needed, Mal walked purposefully to sector 6.

Evening

Mal emerges from Sector 6 tired and filthy. The food carts aren't giving him anything he really wants, so he makes his way wearily to Sector 4 for something good. He sat at one of the restaurants, pitchfork leaning against the wall next to his table, while he demolished a burger with relish.

	Mal turns to Aidan with half a grin. "I always came back in that other future thing. Besides, this is just a scouting mission. Making sure things are what I remember them. Or what they will be. You know what I mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah well, just cause you came back then don't mean you don't gotta be careful now." Don't make him come with you, because he totally will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't worry. I'll bring provisions. And a pitchfork. I ain't plannin' on heading towards raptor territory. Provided raptor territory's in the same place it was in the prison." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-06-14 08:18 am UTC (link)
	"Alright, if you gotta... you call me when you get back out, alright? Or I'm gonna have to send in an search party." Consisting of only him probably. He's stupid like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-14 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course I'll call you. Not gonna leave my only friend hangin' on whether or not I'm still alive." Mal grins. "Or if you really need to keep an eye on me, you could join me in there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-06-14 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Y'know... maybe I will. Let me know when you're headin' in and I'll see if I can tag along. 's been awhile since I was in there." He'll have to warn Rebecca first probably, or she'll be upset at him disappearing into the jungle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-15 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure thing. Plan is to check out the forest today. Avid the raptors and the wasps if possible." See, he's not doing anything too dangerous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-06-18 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, wasps ain't no fun." And just for that he kind of wants to tag along. "Gimme an hour maybe? Let me get my stuff together and tell Becca where I'm goin'." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-06-22 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Sure. I need some stuff too. I'll grab you an extra pitchfork too." He grins at the other man. "It'll be quite the adventure I'm sure." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-06-22 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright. Meet you back here, then?" Unless Rebecca tells him he can't go, but he can't imagine she'd be that strict. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mal nods and walks off. ... An hour or so later he's back with a backpack and two pitchforks. He leans casually on the one as he waits. "Howdy! Missus let you out then?" he greets Aidan with a big grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aidan's prepared, tying on a sturdy pair of hiking boots, jeans tucked in military style, backpack full of water, power bars and first aid kit slung over his shoulder. Even for a short excursion like this he'd rather be overprepared than get eaten by a creepy crawly.

"Yeah... don't know how happy she was about it, but she trusts me not to do anythin' stupid."

Why he doesn't know, considering he's got two fingers less since they first met.

	Mal gives Aidan's backpack a look as he hands him the extra pitchfork. "I ain't carryin' that for you if it gets too heavy." Mostly he's joking. Mostly. He gives Aidan another smile before turning towards the door. "Ready?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-07-03 09:13 am UTC (link)
	"This? This ain't heavy. This is nothin'." He's a farmer boy, he can carry his own shit for sure. He does grin, hoisting the backpack up to sit properly. "Ready. Let's head in there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mal walks to the door, though he stops as it opens and humid air puffs out at him. He takes a breath. Will it be what he remembers? Or was that all false? It was twenty years after all. No one can perfectly remember twenty years. Particularly when those twenty years were a false memory placed for the wardens' pleasure.

He steps forward and nods. Yes. He remembers this place.

"Thinking the forest today. Watch out for the giant pill bugs. And pay attention. It's a bit twisty turny."

"I'll follow your lead, Captain."

And he will, carefully, attention sweeping across their surroundings the way someone would if you're either a) paranoid b) has some military experience or c) all of the above. Despite the treacherous underbrush, Aidan is moving in step comfortably. He grew up close to the woods. This is practically his backyard, ignoring the huge deadly creepy crawlies of course.

	Mal takes them into the forest. After a good half hour or so of climbing over roots and avoiding pill bugs, he stops, hands on his hips, and regards a tree. "Did you ever come to my treehouse in the future?" he asks, still looking over the tree. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-07-16 12:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Dunno." Aidan responds, truthfully, squinting at the tree in an effort to jostle a memory out. "If I did, I sure don't remember it now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-07-26 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"No? Well that's where she'll be. Good tree for it. If I ever get around to building one again. Or... you know what I mean. High enough that none of the real problem creatures can get me." He looks at the tree again trying to remember when he'd ended up building the thing that in reality had never happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-07-30 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"'s a good place for it." He takes a moment to look at the tree, though he's not entirely sure what he's hoping will happen here. Jog his future memory? "You gonna start buildin' it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's going to be so mad when Sector 6 closes... cptn_tightpants 2017-08-04 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah... I think so. Might be good to be busy with somethin' you know? Not much else to do. An' there's somethin' to be said for the adrenaline rush you get bein' in here too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	literally my first thought when we decided it redclayheroics 2017-08-06 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	"You want any help?" Because he can feel that need to keep busy, to do something that isn't just hanging out and having a good time and waiting for something to happen. As much as he hates it, he too has an adrenaline itch to scratch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: literally my first thought when we decided it cptn_tightpants 2017-08-07 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	Mal smiles. "Sure. Wouldn't mind a partner." He's starting to get all sorts of ideas. "We need to start getting supplies. Tools, at last what we can find. Or make. Or maybe we could see if the kangaroo people'l talk to us..." Mal starts talking a mile a minute as he thinks outloud about the whole thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2017-08-08 05:48 am UTC (link)
	He nods along but is immediately distracted when the kangaroo people is mentioned. Really hasn't spent all that much time in here, for obvious reasons, so this is all kinds of new and adventurous and exciting. "You ever see 'em? Th' kangaroo folks?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2017-08-11 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Tended to stay outta their way. Wasn't sure about 'em so it felt better to just stay away." Maybe watched them from afar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
