Who: Tobias and Chase When: Afternoon! Where: Close to marker 11
If there was one thing that Tobias was thankful for today, it was that he was in shape. They had been doing a lot of hiking lately so maybe TPTB thought they were all getting lazy or something. He was also thankful that he was with Chase, even though that's how things usually were these days. He sort of missed Lennon coming along with them on these kinds of things, but... it was what it was. A lot of his friends back in college had disappeared from his life as soon as they got a girlfriend or boyfriend and Tobias was sure he'd done the same when he and Jason started dating. But again, it was what it was and he wasn't going to whine about it.
The bridge had been really cool, but also terrifying and he was more than glad to have left it behind. It made him wonder what else was out there that they hadn't discovered yet. It just sucked that everything seemed so far from the lodge. Maybe if they had another chance for rewards soon he'd ask for a moped or something. It was unlikely They'd give it to him, but whatever, it never hurt to try.
Tobias's shirt was damp, sticking to his back. It wasn't like it was super-hot out or anything, but they had been walking for several hours now and his muscles were starting to really feel it. He also kept checking the sky, praying that any potential rain would hold off. At least they were getting close to their destination.
"They're sure giving us a lot of stuff to avoid coming into contact with those... things," Tobias said. "Tents and lanterns and stuff. Makes you wonder why they don't just get rid of them altogether."
