[ empatheias ] message box

Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

The one from Milla? Of course.

[He lives with the spirit and Indiana Junior wannabe remember.]

What about it?

What do you know about it? Did you see the device she was talking about? Did you go?

[ come on you're friends, give him the extra deets!! ]

Whoa, easy there snoops. [He usually called Leia that, but it kind of fits the occasion right now. At the very least he's being reminded of the wannabe journalist.] I only know about as much as you right now.

If you want details aside from Milla, ask Jude. He was involved with both.

[ Red is not even ashamed about being a snoop. ]

Jude? [ ... ] Jude is...?

Jude Mathis? Geeky doctor? Looks like this? [Cue mental image.]

Haven't met him yet?

--Yeah, we've met! He helped me with my broken arm and leg once! [ huh! ] I didn't know it was the same guy.

He likes exploring too?

I'm not sure about "liking" it like a hobby, but when it comes to finding out new things or having to save the world, he's a regular dungeon diver. Helps that his girlfriend is in charge. He follows her around like a puppy.

Well, I appreciate him. He was one of the first people I talked to when I arrived, and he took the time to tell me what was going on. [ So he can be a puppy as much as he likes!! ]

Anyway, I'm going to check out the site. It sounds like some team might be there [ lindsy who??? ], but I want to see it for myself. Especially if we can make out what the machinery might be. Couldn't this be the first original ruins?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there were more of these around somewhere. If not on this island, then probably somewhere on the surface. [When you have one ruin, you're bound to have more.]

Are you going by yourself?

Probably. Charizard can get me there. [ So, no need to get a ride from anyone else. ]

Did you want to see it?

I have to admit I am pretty curious.

[And not because he thinks Red needs a chaperon. Well, actually he does. But not for the normal reasons. If he's going to where Lindsy is, then past experience has taught Alvin that it would be better if Red weren't alone in terms of "impressions."]

When were you thinking of heading out?

[ HE'LL FIGHT HER. ]

Uh... pretty soon. [ like asap type soon. ] I can wait though.

[ ... ] You're okay with riding that far on Charizard?

[ Just, you know. Making sure! ]

So long as it's not during working hours and we're not there for days. [Otherwise he'll get nagged.]

But just Charizard, huh? [Very thoughtful.] Rather than me, is he okay with that? [He's a hefty guy after all.]

It's a weekend today! Don't you have those off?

And Charizard won't have any problem carrying you. Actually... [ hmm. ] I want to get in contact with someone and see if they want to come too. Three should be fine.

Whoa, when you said "soon" you meant today? [...Well.] It's a bit short notice, but sure, I could do it.

There's no need to wait! Let's get there before everyone else does!

I'll give you...five minutes to get ready! Starting now!

Hold on, weren't you going to call your friend? And where the hell would we even be meeting?

[ Shouldn't it be "five minutes what the hell, Red"- ]

Are you in Verens?

[It's implied.]

Yeah. [Where else would he be?]

Then.... the north exit. Meet me outside it!

In four minutes and forty-five seconds.

Yeah, yeah, I'll see you in thirty.

Seconds?

Hours.

[ Pft. ] Have a fun walk.

[Psh.]

I'd come in style.

[But then there's a chuckle.]

Just let me know if your friend is joining.
