[Tommy looks restless when he pops up on screen, and like he's had a few rough couple of days. He's sort of been very scarce to everyone who knows him too, and it's about time he resurfaces now there's new places to explore.]

What do sailors say when they see land? Land-ho, right?

I can't wait to get off this stupid turtle and stretch my legs. Anybody wanna come explore strange new lands with me or you losers just gonna stay on the raft?

I know I sure as hell ain't. If you guys think you can keep up with me, we should hang or whatever.

[He wants to go exploring but it's boring on his own. And maybe Kate will offer having forgotten their stupid argument when they were drunk. You never know.]

Maybe I'll come? It doesn't sound very hospitable.

[Desert, Tommy. Desert.]

[video]

[crotcharrow]

It's not like I'm gonna set up camp there. I just want to see someplace new already.

[video]

[littlecousin]

It's just not my scene.

[She will dry out and die, not that Tommy necessarily realizes that's what she's objecting to.]

[video]

[crotcharrow]

What kind of scene d'you prefer?

[video]

[stickshift]

We'll see about keeping up.

[Gentle teasing? Gentle teasing.]

But I'd love to come along. I'm thinking about making a few expeditions.

[video]

[crotcharrow]

You bringing the cycle?

[He smiles.] Awesome. It'd be good to see you.

[Even if you remind him of Kate and thats the last thing he wanted to think about right now.]

[video]

[stickshift]

Mmhmm. I don't think you've seen my newest one yet.

[she built it herself in a machinist's shop like a boss.]

I'll be glad to see you too, Tommy.

[yeah awkwardness sort of abounds but she does enjoy his company, so welp.]

[video]

[crotcharrow]

Oh man, you made a new one? [He looks impressed. Gosh Asami, why doesn't he hang out with you more? Oh right. That awkward kiss.]

Lemme know when you're heading out and I'll race yah.

[ Okay, since their first encounter a couple of months ago, Wally's been pretty glum and avoiding making contact with this guy. Silly to some people, but he's always been a little touchy about his powers and has rarely come to be okay about his limitations.

But. He's realized it's really no one's fault, so... have an olive branch of sorts, Tommy. ]

I bet we could cover a lot of ground.

[ Video ]

[crotcharrow]

[Oh. He was wondering where you went. He'd like to have someone to race. He's glad that Wally replied though. Even if he has to slow down, it'll still be nice to have someone who works as fast--or nearly--as he does.]

Oh totally. We could map that thing if we wanted.

[sciencewhizard]

[ Wally was grinning at that idea. He'd have to make sure he brought a decent reserve of food, though. With his powers, going at top speed'd mean he'd need a lot of refueling. ]

We'll probably find a lot of souvenirs, too. How much do you think we could lug back?

[crotcharrow]

[That goes for Tommy too. They don't wanna get trapped out there with no food.]

As much as we can carry? I dunno if we'll find anything.

'Land ho'? Pretty sure we're way past international 'talk like a pirate' day, Shepherd.

[video]

[crotcharrow]

You know when that is? Pft. Nerd.

[video]

[sharpes]

No clue. But at least I know it's not every damn day unlike some people.

['Some people' here meaning 'Tommy Shepherd'.]

[crotcharrow]

[Gosh Brandon, way to be a buzzkill.]

What's wrong with being a pirate? Wenches, treasure, adventure? You just hate fun.

[Superman doesn't look exactly disapproving, but he does look worried at the idea of teens exploring on their own.]

Wherever you go, keep in mind these are strange lands. We should be careful.

[Tommy blinks at the huge S and then frowns at what he says giving a small shrug.]

I got sent to a hell dimension once. I'm pretty sure I can handle myself.

[even if I was there for like half an hour and my brother rescued my ass...]

[andaway]

[He nods, approving. At least he has experience...]

Then use your common sense. Bring extra food, never be alone- that kind of thing. The Kedan seem worried about some kind of monsters that roam this place, have you been told about them?

[video]

[dadissues]

I'm going, but definitely in a different direction than you.

[video]

[crotcharrow]

Rude.

[video]

[dadissues]

Suck it!

[video]

[withoutaworld]

I was gonna head out with Cap and his team.

Just, uh... be careful, okay? I know you can probably outrun anything that gives you trouble, but... Steve's worried, so I'm worried. [ So don't do anything dumb just because you're bored. Please. ]

[video]

[crotcharrow]

[Yeesh, he doesn't see what the big deal is.]

Worried? Why? It's not a giant land-shark or something is it?

[video]

[withoutaworld]

Not as far as I know. But the kedan seem pretty freaked about it, so there must be a reason for it...

At the very least, it's kind of a hostile environment from what I hear.
