[Audio | 004: Back in the Saddle] Thursday, Week 11

[pepperspray]

This is an open broadcast, so I'm not going into too many specifics, but I'm taking a trip back to the port town to make some shipping arrangements. This will be a much lighter and faster trip than the last one, as we'll be going on horseback.

Assuming that I don't doom us all with my equestrian skills, I could use a couple people interested in coming along as outriders -- you should be able to ride and capable of defending yourself and, um, me, if it comes down to it. Bring small goods if you're interested in trading for goods or supplies in a more varied market -- like the Old City, the port town functions on a barter economy rather than a currency-based one.

[SO HEY, Pepper's going to try and make arrangements to get a grain shipment for the Old City, since the crops aren't too awesome right now. This isn't a full-on plot like last time, just a little thing what can be done. Bruce-mun's already on board with this, but I could use one more person if you're interested! Got my second person! But Pepper's likely to be making a lot more trips, so if not this time for people, then certainly future. (Or she can set you up to go in your own group too!)]

If you're in need of protection, I can join you. When are you leaving?

Count me in, Ms. Potts.

[You don't need video to know who that earnest voice belongs to, do you, Pepper?]

[As tempting as it is to potentially get away from the city for a while and see the rest of the local area here, Lyall knows better than to travel with a mounted horseman. Or woman.]

I would offer my assistance, Miss Potts, but horses and I do not get along. So unless you wish to be trailed well behind or well ahead, I'll merely hold down the fort here, shall I?

What's the town like?

Still want me along? [ This was of course because of the incident where the mare nearly threw her because she got scared of Eliot's scent. However, Eliot ended calming her down too, both of them, so his guilt in the incident was debatable. ]

"Ms. Potts?"

[It's phrased like a question because this is the only name he has heard her referred to as; the voice is quite polite, though, gentle to the point of sounding like soft music.]

I'm seeking a good way to put my skills to use, and you are requesting aid in this mission - perhaps we can talk?~

oh oh oh can i come????

[Todd's not... entirely serious. Or is he?!]

[seasidesex]

Sounds like quite the adventure. You do this sort of thing often?

It sounds as though you already have your outriders. However, if you would like to learn to defend yourself a little better in such a place as this, please let me know once you've returned.

I could come. I can't 'ride' but I can defend a small party.
