2nd Scratch

[Thomas takes a moment to click on his video feed, then goes about finishing his setup. He's managed to finally fashion himself a meager outfit, reminiscent of his previous suit.]

Hm...I guess it isn't bad, for something thrown together. The fabrics here are pretty nice.

[He finishes rolling up and packing a few supplies, then sets out an array of blades. Throwing knives, a large hunting knife, and a set of newly crafted cat claws. Light weapons he can keep right on his body.]

Well, this took some work to get. I certainly hope it's worth it.

[When he's satisfied, he finally comes up to the screen.]

Okay, I'm going to head out there. See what I can find. Anybody got important, last minute information?

Dude... [That's kind of gross.] That's kind of extreme, don't you think? If there's nothing else on the mainland, we probably wouldn't have to deal with them... And how many things can't be stopped just by punching them? [The answer is zero.]

[plains_hunter]

We're not all made of living rock, Santo. Weaker people need an advantage, if those things are going to be troublesome every time we go to the mainland.

[zerotoawesome]

But there's nothing on the mainland I thought. What's the point of even going out there in the first place?

[...] Let me go with you.

[plains_hunter]

If you want. I'll warn you, your powers are going to get less useful, the more we go out. That's the reports, at least. Me, I've never had powers to begin with.

[zerotoawesome]

How so? I mean, my powers can't exactly be taken away... They're seriously who I am, and I don't just mean that in the weh weh I'm nothing if I'm average sense.

[plains_hunter]

In that case, I can't guarantee what might happened to you. If you're literally made of animate rock, you might become inanimate rock.

[zerotoawesome]

I'm not actually made out of living rock. That'd be gross, man. I'm... I don't know how it's explained, but I'm like psychic.

[plains_hunter]

Actually, it'd be very cool. No need to eat, drink, or breath. Very advantageous.

[zerotoawesome]

I don't need to do those things anyway, but it's not really as fun as you'd think.

[plains_hunter]

Can you taste things?

[zerotoawesome]

Yeah?
