Who: Ingo and Emmet
What: Exploration of the Middle Forest
When: Late April
Where: Middle Forest
Warnings: Hallucinations, dissociation, minor injury

[The middle forest, much like the time they explored the northern end, is blanketed with fog almost as soon as they enter the shadows of the trees. Ingo ignites his flames, as usual, but it's little use. Purple light refracts off the thick mist, as well as the faint red glow of Emmet's eyes and markings.

It's a little spooky. Ingo tries to keep his eyes off them. Telling Emmet about his experiences with Zoroark was probably, overall, a good thing to do. He's not longer lying to him, even if only by omission. But it probably makes some of his less-than-kind responses a little more obvious...]


I am sure any marks we leave will simply change again, but we could make an attempt anyhow.

[Today's another scouting mission, more than anything. Ingo's more relaxed about that than about rescue missions, but their strange experience in the forest last time still has him keeping a sharp eye out, as well as he can.]
outbounds: he'd count subway cars to go to sleep too (long days at the subway)

[ Yawns being contagious, Ingo's spurs Emmet into one of his own. Huh. Right. ]

Hmm. I've been keeping you up, haven't I? Go take that nap you were wanting earlier.

Will still be here later.

Coming? [ Echoed, slightly confused. It doesn't matter, though, because: ] Wherever you're going, I am too?
outbounds: (round)

Where else would I even go?

[ The sleepiness is catching, anyway, and Emmet can probably quiet his thoughts enough to get at least a little bit of shut-eye given the odd sense of exhaustion clinging to him.

... he probably will try to stay awake until Ingo drifts off, though. ]
