"Maybe." Lishian shrugs. "Don't eat the yellow things though, I almost threw up. So, are we ready to go or what? We need to find a place to settle before nightfall, there might be enemies or something here."
Hanako aggrees, standing. "This isn't an ideal place for a nightly stay, let's kepe going and cover as much gorund as we can."

"yeah, just let me grab my stuff" i nod, grabbing my book and the map and cleaning everything else i brought out up. when i'm done i nod, and we begin to forge ahead once more, with me and eli taking more time to study the area around us and remember the turns we take.

Lishian happily runs throught etrees like an overexcited puppy, taking risks he probably shouldn't be able to take. Hanako eeps puling him back from things like a cliff and a large pond.

"He's showing off. They all do. The Narrators kind of left that Homeworld to their own devices and now it's just haywire." Hanako sighs.

"Yeah, no idea who the new lolt that came in are." Lishian agrees. "And- oh look, birds! Colorufl bids!" He immediately dashes into the trees, Hanako unable to keep up with her hair for once.

"Guess we're goign this way." She sighs, following.

"suppose we are" Zoe shrugs, watching the birds as they coast above the tree tops. they look sort of like parrots but different. their bodies are emrald green, and they have underfeathers in a deep, wine like purple color. their beaks are different too, more like that of a finch than that of a parrot.

but it is vaguely parrot shaped, and flies like one too.

"we should probably avoid any wildlife we see" Eli speaks up, watching the birds aswell. "we don't know what is dangerous and what isn't"

"Agreed- Lishian, oh my gosh, get back here! I swear it's like dealing with a 5 year old with him....a 5 year old who knows how to spar." Hanako groans, yanking Lishian back from a cute frog he was about to pet. The frog, which is a pale greenishblue in color, hops aware while LIshian rolls his eyes at Hanako.

"So, how big is this area we're suppoed to map?" Hanako wonders.

"no idea, this forest looks massive, i'm sure he won't mind if we just map a path through it" Zoe shrugs, careful to memorise every bit of where she has been and will be. "what he wants is to get to the other side, i doubt he minds how much of a map we make"

"We can always take the other side of the forest back too, then we'll cover most of the area." Lishian suggest, finally regaining braincells. "We're on the...." He squints upwards "Eastern side of the forest right now, we can come back through the western side."

"Good idea, for once." Hanako agrees. "Maybe mark good places to rest on the map too, I mean we're probably going to have to stay the night in here at some point."

"hopefully we get paid extra for the effort" Eli chips in "and then we can go home with some good money, and me and Zoe can get back to working on the issues at home. hey, what are yall going to do when you get to your worlds again?" she asks, curiously.

"Probably get bossed around by the narrators or mess with the others. And find the nearest therapist because my next few assigned worlds sound like dozies and the Narrators are picking up the pace again." Lishian grimaed.
"Oh right, you have main character plot armor." Hanako snickered. "Have fun running the same scenes over and over, I'm sure you love running marathons in the dead of winter-"
Lishian just glared and said nothing.

"that sounds so boring, why don't you come to the seventh circle with is, it's so much more fun" Zoe suggests "no one there really bothers you if you aren't breaking any laws, and Gabriels hell hounds are pretty friendly" she adds, remebering the dogs fondly. she sure hopes those two aren't flammable.
