I never, ever want to see sand again. Never.

Did everyone else get like, kicked out of the desert place and end up here? And did everyone find everyone they were looking for?

Because if so I'm gonna sleep for a week.

[charring]

I'm out. I think everyone's out.

[team_sociopath]

All in one piece?

[charring]

Yep! How about yourself?

[team_sociopath]

Sunburnt and really really thirsty. But, y'know, mostly fine.

[charring]

Mostly fine is better than not at all well.

[team_sociopath]

I can't believe I got stuck, it was totally unfair.

[charring]

Stuck?

[She got turned into a statue for a few days by a gorgon. It was not awesome.]

[team_sociopath]

Yeah. Turns out you could get into the Glass City if you went fast enough. So I went back to try and bust people out. I got one, then I went back again and... no luck.

[charring]

Wow.

[team_sociopath]

Yep.

[charring]

[All the sarcasm.] Don't you just love this place?

[team_sociopath]

I like it lots better without sandworms.

[charring]

That's something I'm sure the entire city can agree on.

[team_sociopath]

You know it was only, like, half as long on this side?

[charring]

So I heard. That's crazy.

[team_sociopath]

I guess it kinda figures.

[shall_yield_us]

...no, I found no rocks.

[team_sociopath]

What rocks?

[dulcisnuntius]

I think I might be missing a few flight feathers, but other than that I'm in one piece!

[team_sociopath]

Not a big deal, right?

[dulcisnuntius]

Except the sand worms. They were a pretty big deal.

[team_sociopath]

Nonono, don't use the s- word. I'm working on forgetting about it all.

[dulcisnuntius]

Oh dear. I'm guessing there was some lasting trauma there.

[team_sociopath]

Just too many weeks slipping around in the desert being chased by ugly hungry things.

[dulcisnuntius]

They were high up on the not-pretty scale. No one told me they could JUMP so high. Nearly ate half my wing off.

[team_sociopath]

But feathers grow back, right?

[dulcisnuntius]

Considering I do moult seasonally, it'd be pretty silly for them not to.

[team_sociopath]

How bad? Are you stuck on the ground til they do?

[dulcisnuntius]

For a few days, yeah. Once I was stuck on a pirate ship until they did.

[team_sociopath]

I bet that was less awesome than it sounds.

[dulcisnuntius]

It was an unique experience.

[team_sociopath]

You are such a tease with your stories.

[dulcisnuntius]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[team_sociopath]

Maybe a little of both.

[dulcisnuntius]

I like that. Feels cool and layered and stuff.

[team_sociopath]

Interdimensional angel of mystery.

[dulcisnuntius]

Only in my dreams, I think.

[team_sociopath]

You can quote me.

[dulcisnuntius]

I think I should make that my next tattoo. And give it a citation.

[team_sociopath]

I'm Tommy Shepherd, and I approve this ink.

[dulcisnuntius]

Exactly like that. Sounds perfect.
