Magic Reserves, The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon

[glacial_queen]

About ten minutes after the usual start of the Reserves, Karla came dashing into the Preserves. "Hi...everyone," she said, panting. "Sorry...late...Portal..."


Was there a law that said that the Portals had to open up in the most inconvenient place possible? Was there?


"Gimme...sec?" She waved to Dolf to begin while she caught her breath. Or maybe pick up where he'd left off, she wasn't sure if he'd been waiting for her.

"...Hi," said Dolf, looking... surprised. Surprised was a good word. He'd put out a lot of stuff on the tables, stuff that wasn't just food, but also bandages and clothes. Though there were cookies. Many cookies. "Um, everyone, Karla is here, so we could have waited another... three minutes?"

Sigh. "Uh, we were talking about putting boxes of important things around the island in case we might need them...?"

Straightening now, Karla looked over at the tables and nodded. "Oooh, yeah, that makes sense. Little caches of items and gear to make safe drops at places. I like that. So, okay..." She was getting her breath back, at least. "So, we have a lot of moddable stuff here. Let's brainstorm what we'd want to find in little safety stashes around the island and start putting those boxes together. Let's see how comprehensive we can make them without ending up with something too big to be useful."

"Yes, that," Dolf said, helpfully. He was distracted from anything else he might have liked to say by the noise of a crying baby. "...She has been loud," he muttered, sprinting off to one of the tables and picking up little Lies. "And then when we are done talking, we should take some of them out and put them places."
