The Planet

Hawthorn is late! She got caught up in what she should wear to go adventuring (investigating, Hawthorn, investigating) and is now half-jogging to attempt to get to the square vaguely on time. Her outfit ends up being plain, sturdy trousers, shirt and vest, with a belt knife and a simple but sturdy w...

Who posts first for the next morning? Zatty confirms that skipping ahead is fine, so we're all on the same page as far as I can tell.

Hawthorn takes a copy of the directions, noting that she does know where to find the prominent local fountain, and is distracted by Zally's question. She knows of inns, generally, but 'good' and 'within Zally's apparent budget' stump her. She doesn't usually deal with travelers. "No, sorry. I k...

It is entirely possible she is not taking this seriously enough.

Hawthorn, content that other people have asked the Important Questions, says as an aside about the snacks, "These are really good." She aims the comment mostly at Mina, but it's certainly loud enough that everyone else will hear her. More loudly, she adds, "I won't share anything with...
