1.3 Week 1 Desert Exploration
It's finally happening, everyone! After two months in this town, Flynn is sick of not knowing what else is out there. Sure, it's a little windy and very hot, but it's better than last month, and there's no time like the present, right? It's time for a:
Desert Expedition!
After posting about it at the beginning of the week, Flynn will be leading a little expedition into the desert. His goals are as follows:
The plan right now is to leave just before dawn on the morning of the 7th with as much water and food as Flynn & anyone else who's coming with can carry. He's going to try to set up water caches to support future expeditions, as well as start to map what's out there. It's going to last all of a single day and a single night of camping under the stars before the entire party is going to be caught in a massive sandstorm and have to fight their way home. Fun!
The way I think it'll work best is if we basically do all the exploration here in this little post! So, if your character wants to come with, feel free to just count them in. I'll be making comments below with various things we'll need to hash out, and we can figure out roughly what happens on this little expedition! I'll hop in on the mod account (or have Mads do it) with anything folks might discover, and I'll be (in the interest of not mostly playing with myself, haha) letting other people kind of take the lead on that!!
I was thinking this would be mostly OOC for ease (i.e. "Flynn's going to spend his time poking his nose into X, Y, and Z, he'll need some help with A") but if you'd like to actually thread things out, feel free to do that too. We're all just making things up over here!
After posting about it at the beginning of the week, Flynn will be leading a little expedition into the desert. His goals are as follows:
- figure out how far the desert goes
- understand what else might be out there
- see if there is any hint of other intelligent life
- find a way to communicate that they're all trapped here with someone who can help
- just kinda see what's going on

Survival Skill Level: Middling high. Bruce is good at navigating obstacles and will come as prepared as possible.
Interested In: Discovering if communication with a theoretical 'outside' is possible, making sure other people don't die.
What else will they be doing? Bruce is bringing a jailbroken walkie-talkie with him in an effort to catch radio signals, if there are any. Whether or not the reassembled walkie-talkie can actually pick anything up if anything even exists to be picked up is an unknown.
