maybe you worry too much.

[ Well, she worries too.

She just thinks expressing it might let people in on her own crippling self doubts.

oh
I think you're supposed to be able to find some kind of cover in the labyrinth though

maybe you could just hole up in a shack for the majority of the mission before leaving
they didn't exactly say you couldn't do that as long as teamwork is involved


nah people with PMCs get paid
I'm broke as shit


that's the long and short of it though, yeah
I could probably help you through some basics with shelter, food, and water

Most often we walk or fly. Some have gearcycles, but they are an acquired taste.

[ Personally, he finds them too noisy. ]

Under normal conditions, I could also alter my form as well, but it sounds as though that can't be relied on once inside the labyrinth.

[ A beat. ]

I will ensure there is ample coffee.

I think so? I've never had blood pudding actually.

[Add it to her list of things to maybe try.]

Nope, I can drink pretty much anything. I like most soups actually!
Seonji is usually served in a beef broth that's really tasty too!
I like liquor too but alcohol doesn't really affect me.
I make a good partner in drinking contests though!


[Yes she's proud of that, okay. It's the one thing she could do in college that made her feel like part of the crowd of students at bars on the weekends.]

cause that's literally the only way to not be 'outdoors'
guarantee a lot of sweat and dirt stuck to you otherwise
and no showers

what did you do for money?

do they have any of that survival stuff on TV where you're from?

( just assumes they have tv everywhere. probably. )

Can you edge rain? I was drenched. I came from the hospital here, and then ended up back out in it again later. Thankfully, I got a parka that time.

I am sure I can find a way to keep myself busy here. I would go stir crazy with nothing to do. Although, it looks like they're already giving us something to prepare for.
I'll keep an eye out for 'fun'

They killed the guy that owned the circus too, I think. I know it closed down after my parents died. Everyone went their different ways. The guy ended up getting killed by his own people years later. I saw it happen.

I don't kill though. I know how to hurt someone enough so they don't get back up if I have to.

Airships are common in my world. I also have wings.

[ Privately, he's pleased to hear people enjoy coffee here.

He's only a little obsessed with it. A smidgen. ]


I prefer remaining as I am, but I can for instance become much larger.

this might date me but
you don't have to have to have tv to be a porn star


some of the reality tv stuff is arguably in the survival genre...

okay so we're starting from scratch then

you'll need to bring some sort of pack to carry with you (backpack or duffle) and you'll have to bring that everywhere which is where it's the most different from camping, cause camping means you can leave stuff behind. since it's a maze you gotta get through, that's not really an option, right?

anyway, everything you bring with you should be to help you survive. things that don't contribute to that should be left behind, since you have to bring everything with you, and that just adds more weight and more weight means more sweat, etc.

following so far?

( he's not wrong though!!!! )

your manager?

> probably because all we do is fucking survive all the fuckin time
arguably what everyone is doing all the time

water, food that stores well, some way to filter more drinking water, clothing that's meant only for skin cover or warmth because you don't always know the temperature and sun conditions, all purpose tools like a hammer or good knife, basic medical supplies
just to start with

( oh so there's finally someone else that knows that times square was a bunch of peep shows before the 70s. good. )

how is it different?

well you can always use a strainer of some sort to remove grit. some people use dense material that's still porous. even after getting the grit out, you might have to boil it to make it safe to drink if it's sitting water, though.

Sorry, I guess that's kind of insensitive to say to someone who's from Hell. But it is a place you can just visit, where I'm from. We were there seeing a couple of my friends' Dads. [ Half-truths -- but close enough. ] They're pretty chill with it but it makes sense that not everyone feels that way.

I mean, I'll prepare for the worst. But that's what I'm gonna try to do. I don't like the idea of sleeping where something might eat me.


[ Joke's on Riz: he's the one who's going to be doing the monster-eating around here. ]
