[Walkabout]

[bite_the_hand]

I know this is just a Walkabout, but is exploring really the only thing we're supposed to be doing here? I can't help but feel like we're missing something. Is there something we're supposed to find? Or did we already avoid the problem by making sure the local people get treated like people?

I am certain that's a large part of it, but it doesn't hurt to be thorough.

What diagnostic abilities do we have between us?

[bite_the_hand]

And not being thorough CAN hurt. A lot. I don't know what else is out there, but it's too early to say we've found everything dangerous. Or that we've found the only kind of people that live here. So far the only things I'm convinced are just animals are the dragon squirrels.

I don't have any diagnostic abilities myself. I'm usually the guy who deals with the things that other people learn. [Usually by punching those things and/or setting the things on fire.] But can use Assist to boost the abilities of others.

It might be that simple. So far I haven't found anything to indicate one way or another.

Private - unprotected

[bite_the_hand]

You think it might? I don't know.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid. But back at the Walls, the only time a mission seemed this easy and simple was right before everything went to hell.

make that double protected

I'm not saying to let your guard down. The only walkabout I've been a part of that went to hell did so in a spectacular fashion.

Caution can't hurt, just in case this one does go south. I think it would be by now, though, if it were going to.

[bite_the_hand]

I won't be letting my guard down until we're back in Liminal. That's how they got us before. They'd wait until we were almost done with the mission and safe, or they'd wait until we'd almost won. Then the Colossal Titan would show up out of nowhere and body slam me or something.

We learned not to let our guard down until the mission was over. And in the Survey Corps the mission was never over until we made it back home.

[leftbehindagain]

That's entirely fair.

[It's the difference between their home worlds, really. Eren didn't have the luxury of assuming he wasn't in danger.]
