This is Gaheris Rhade and I've returned from a brief scouting expedition- [and he adds because Dylan had announced his alone-time.] -after unexpected delay. [Unexpected delays being a lot on his mind and curiosity about anything remotely dangerous.] Does anyone know anything about the body of water that used to be where the Wasteland now is?

I can't determine much. [Other than there was a dome in the middle of it. A lit dome. And he highly suspects it's the cause of that body of water being gone.]

Perhaps this is a very typical inquiry, but what have I missed?


*OOC: I need a way to break off the end of a boneblade for Loki's plot and am open to ideas, accidental and purposeful for ingredients.

[Before his adventure, he was playing the part of Dylan's carpentry bitch. So he comes in and has a seat on one of the chairs.] Plaster is a good look for you. [He'll never be too tired to tease. Never.]

Why thank you, Mr Rhade. I'll keep that in mind when I inevitably get bored with my hair.

Anything to drink? There's water, and I can put some hot water on for some of that coffee-like stuff that you find around here.

Water would be fine. [Water has been his friend for the last few days. He crosses his legs and shifts to where he can see her fireplace.]

The Wasteland used to be a lake. Then one of the domes managed to monopolize the water table. Now it's only populated by scavengers and poisonous predators.

[There's a ceramic water-butt on the counter, with a tap in the base—she goes to it and draws two cups from it, then hands one to him. She goes to prod the fire a little, then sits down across from him.]

Sounds infinitely charming. Bad environmental damage?

The entire ecosystem has been completely destroyed. There is no means to support life outside of scavenging and hunting life forms that have gone astray.

[He is not impressed. Not by a long shot.]

[Sma's not impressed either. She grimaces.]

Anyone out there? Or any halfway-interesting artifacts?

Just the boats that I saw. [He leans forward and rubs his hands over his face.]

Hmph. Not much use yet, then.

[A concerned look.]

What happened to you, out there?

It was simply hot. [Whatever happens in his head doesn't count as happening to him. He looks up at her.] It was simply hot.

Have you heard much about the boy from the dome?

[She raises an eyebrow, but doesn't press.]

I've heard about him. Haven't gotten in to see him. They say he won't last long—his immune system won't take it.

That's unfortunate. But unsurprising. The way they keep themselves locked away from the larger environment.
