The bracelets are just for tracking the treasure hunting, right?

[Someone is a bit suspicious.]

You feeling a little suspicious of them, too? I don't think it's a bad idea to be wary, just in case.

[Maybe they're completely innocent, but the 'incident' with the brands has been on her mind.]

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. Can't say I trust them very much after what happened.

I know they're bracelets but still.

[eternalhymn]

I was thinking the same thing. There are things about this place I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but after the stuff with the brands and some questions friends have asked, I can't help but question everything.

Considering the two armadas are working together to organize this, I don't think there's too much to worry about, but it won't hurt to be careful. Take anything they say with a grain of salt.

[seasaltkeys]

That's assuming I don't already.

[Fool him once...]

But I guess you're right. I just don't want a repeat of last time. It makes me nervous.

[eternalhymn]

I get it. That's not a bad habit to be in. You're just being smart.

Maybe we can still manage to have SOME fun while being cautious, though. Treasure hunting does sound exciting, if you ask me.

[seasaltkeys]

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who was thinking it.

I want to! Treasure hunting I mean.

Just. Yeah.

[eternalhymn]

There's probably a lot more people than just us, too. People have long memories, and being divided from the people who are important to you like so many of us were... you don't forget that so easily.

For awhile, I was worried about the tattoos and the shellphones, too. Caught myself getting a little too paranoid about being watched. If someone out there wants to keep an eye on us, that's one thing, but if they try to exert control like that again? We don't go quietly, that's all there is to it.

[seasaltkeys]

Can't imagine anyone wants a repeat.

You think we still have to be worried about that?

[eternalhymn]

Honestly? The way things have been, no, I don't think so.

Just helps to keep an open mind, be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. That's part of my job.

[seasaltkeys]

Feels easier said than done

[eternalhymn]

Most things are, honestly, especially if they're worth the effort.

[seasaltkeys]

[On the other end is something of a resigned sigh.]

Yeah.

It can be a lot though.

[eternalhymn]

I'm starting to feel that way about a lot of things here.

Turns out jumping between worlds can be a little overwhelming sometimes. Hang in there, okay? It won't always feel this way.

[seasaltkeys]

Don't I know it.

[He's certainly hopped through his share of worlds.]

But I hope so. I want to go treasure hunting!
