weve been on this island for so long
just this tiny little island
there has to be more than wyver and olympia right?
this world is a big planet

if wyver and olympia are having problems
why dont we just try to leave?

You just want to see it for yourself.

[She thinks she can understand that.]

Something like that would not be easy though. Especially not knowing what to expect.

[ayes]

well
thats what the old explorers did right
you just gotta have food and water

[doomedtheworld]

"Just" have food and water?

[Lord....]

That you say that kind of tells me that you have never really had to go without either.

[ayes]

no thats not what i meant like ships are big right but since youre in the ocean its all salt and you cant drink it you need to bring it all with you then all the food and all the water youre gonna need buts its not like its impossible

[doomedtheworld]

[You can't drink the ocean water because it's all salt. Just going to make a mental note of that one.]

Even when you think you have plenty food runs out and food spoils. It is not impossible but it is not something to take lightly if you are really going to do it.

[She doesn't mean to be a wet blanket, but food is kind of a touchy subject for her and the thought of being stuck on a boat on that endless expanse of water without both food and a way to find more makes her feel a little sick.]

[ayes]

i wasnt going to take this lightly ok??
but people go on long voyages all the time back home
so its not like its not something you can do
you can totally do it you just gotta plan ahead

[doomedtheworld]

Sorry.

I am told I can be blunt. Writing things like this is not making it easy either.

Is this really something that you want to do?

[ayes]

its ok i dont mind
and yeah i think so

its a big ocean
we should see whats out there

[doomedtheworld]

Then maybe you should try when you are ready. I would like to see more of this world but I still have to wait here for some people to wake up.

I do not think that I would be much help on a boat anyway.

[ayes]

i mean not everyone can go together
like itd probably have to be the people who know what theyre doing on a boat
at least the first time

[doomedtheworld]

That makes sense.

Do you have anybody in mind?

[ayes]

maybe one or two
was sorta hoping id find more with this
who knew what they were doing

[doomedtheworld]

It sounds like you still have a long way to go.

[ayes]

its not like i was gonna try to leave tomorrow or something
if we dont get started talking about something itll never happen
everyone starts somewhere

[doomedtheworld]

That is true.
I wonder if there is any information about what is across the ocean. Books or anything.

[ayes]

probably i havent really looked into it but like people have to know whats out there right?

[doomedtheworld]

They might. Unless that information is hidden or simply does not exist.

We can go try to find out.

[ayes]

yeah i guess we can
idk ive never been any good at studying

i can just sail a little thats all

[doomedtheworld]

Neither have I. But I have watched other people do it.


[OOC: Would you like to do a log of them going to look this stuff up? According to the map page it's supposed to be impossible to make it out to sea so that could be a thing if You's poor heart hasn't taken enough.]

[ayes]

haha i have to and it didnt really take if dia was here shed know how to do it [She probably isn't in the right mind space to do that, unfortunately! She's not much of a reader on the best of days...]

[doomedtheworld]

[OOC: All good.]

There are people I know who would probably already be able to quote the entire history of this world if they were awake.

[She finds herself smiling wistfully on her end, even if You can't see it.]

And another who would probably have his own mansion by now.

[ayes]

it sounds like they were smart

im not that smart haha
so maybe that paths just not for me

[doomedtheworld]

Dont be to hard on yourself.

There is still a lot that you can not learn from a book.

[ayes]

well yeah sure

but the learning-from-a-book part isnt for me

[doomedtheworld]

I understand.

But I want to ask. Why do you want to talk like this?

Reading everything I mean

[She doesn't have texting so it's a bit of a pain. She's been doing that "old lady typing-with-one-finger" thing this entire time.]
