Has anyone tried to leave town?

More importantly, is it possible?

That question feels very pointed. Is there a reason you ask?

[cruelyethuman]

Scorpion's Bend. Trying to leave the town, led us back to the beginning of it. A closed circle.

[deaddrop]

Hadn't had a reason to try before.

uh no?

home's too far a walk for me to try I'm afraid

[cruelyethuman]

This does not answer my question.

[business]

it’s okay to admit you’re scared, brother. need you a night light in these cold, dark times?

[cruelyethuman]

What are you offering?

[gusurules]

No. The mission was to remain here and look for the orb.

[cruelyethuman]

The mission is always find the orb. By any means necessary.

We have yet to find it, which means there are stones unturned somewhere near.

[gusurules]

The orb does not wish to leave and believes we are close to finding it. Thus the orb is here and we have simply not uncovered it yet. To leave would hinder our own efforts.

Do you think it's worth trying?

I'm willing to test it if no one else has.

[cruelyethuman]

No one who has come forward.

Go to the town line, and start walking. Report back on your findings.

[knightof]

[ Some people might balk at such direct orders. Not Suzaku, but. You know. Regular Other people. As it is, his reply just arrives with mildly improbable speed. ]

Nothing stopped me from leaving. I was able to exit town and travel a few miles without issue.

There's a forest surrounding us, and signs for another town further away. Everything looks normal.

No but I could try.

[cruelyethuman]

That would be appreciated.

I wouldn't mind trying, but not by myself. That sounds like a great way to get lost or picked off by something that doesn't want us to leave.
You willing to test this theory with me?

[cruelyethuman]

Meet me by the corner shop at 8 o'clock.

text -> action

[dr_unconscious]

[Sure enough, Clayton arrives at 8. It doesn't matter to him that his plans for the day have to be put aside for this; he's doing this for someone who needs it, for one, and two, the facade of this small, tranquil town is being rapidly torn down in his eyes for various, deeply unpleasant reasons that he doesn't want to think about right now.]

[Needless to say, having the opportunity to do some good for his teammates is a welcome distraction.]

[Maybe his teammate is already present at their meeting place, maybe he isn't. Either way, the man who approaches looks like he hasn't slept well in at least a week, though he's able to hide a lot of that behind the conveniently scruffy wear of fuzzy fall jackets and untucked plaid button-up shirts. He also does a fantastic job of occupying himself by chatting up the corner shop cashier, if he ends up having to wait. Like everything is normal.]
