Out of time and place

"I saw the big buzzing flyers before I came to the Great Valley, so it might have been a really long time ago," Ruby said, "but they might have continued flying until they finally got tired and landed."

"That seems possible but they might have crashed like I did," Frank said.

"Quite possible I think. If for no other reason they may have run out of gas, or other reasons." Dan said.

Cleve nodded and agreed. "So, If we find these planes, we can get valuable info as to why we're here and some valuable supplies," Cleve said, "However, we will be at risk from sharpteeth attack, and keep in mind that we might not find anything at all. We'll have to think carefully before making a decision."

"I don't think we should take our cars," James said. "If we break down or run out of fuel out there, we lose the majority of our supplies.

Deimos scratched his head. "We can get to one side of the Smoking Mountains through the Great Valley but we will still need to venture into the Mysterious Beyond," he said.

"Well, even if there are no survivors we can potentially get supplies."

"Speaking of which, who will watch the encampment?"

"Are there 1 or several pair of binoculars? Those would be handy for keeping watch for sharpteeth, and other things also." Dan said. Then thinking. "Hmm, a sundial will help us keep time at daytime. Even a crude one should give an idea of the time, but only at daytime." He said.

James got into his SUV and got a set of binoculars. "Only one pair," he said, dangling them from his neck. "Now what supplies shall we take?" he asked.

"Food," Deimos replied.

"We should also bring some bottled water with us," Frank said.

Dima02 · **Reply #628 on:** December 04, 2010, 12:20:55 AM

"And some basic tools as well," Cleve added, "We might need some tools like hatchets , of anyone has any."

"Filtration stuff if anyone has any. & some other basic stuff. like fire starting stuff. A magnifying glass can start a fire, on a nice sunny day." Dan said. "We need to decide what to bring and try to distribute the stuff equally among us to keep the load fair,for those willing to carry some stuff including some food and water." Dan said.

"All I've got are my gun, some coins, and the clothes on my back," Cleve said, "so I'm counting on James for supplies."

"I guess I'll serve as a guide," Deimos said. He picked up the two flints he used for fire starting and handed them to Cleve. "Could you hold these for me?" he asked. "They're the 'fire rocks' I use."

James continued rooting in his SUV for supplies. When he was done, he had a small camping ax, a small folding shovel, some pots and pans, some canteens filled with water from the lake that he had boiled and a few plastic bags containing some smoked salmon. He also had three backpacks. He also had his shotgun and some ammunition.

"All right. I've got the supplies," he said, starting to pack them into the backpacks. "Speaking of which, what about our campsite?" he asked.

"Could Ruby and Chomper watch them?" Deimos asked.

James shrugged. "Sure, it'll help us earn their trust," he replied as he continued packing. "Cleve, Frank do you think it is okay for us let Ruby and Chomper and their friends watch the campsite for us?"

Dima02 · **Reply #632 on:** December 05, 2010, 01:47:33 AM

Cleve put the rocks in his pocket and helped James pack the supplies.

"It's fortunate that you brought three backpacks," Cleve said, "and they look comfortable too."

"And I'm fine with the idea of them watching the campsite," Cleve added, "but however, I think that they'll make great guides as well, especially that Ruby girl. She actually saw the planes and in which direction they were headed. It's just that I don't know if she'll agree to venture out into the dangerous Mysterious Beyond."

Serris · **Reply #633 on:** December 05, 2010, 01:50:29 AM

"Couldn't hurt to ask," James said. He then turned to Ruby. "Ruby, do you mind helping us find those 'buzzing flyers' as you called them?" he asked.

Deimos nodded as he heard James speak. He then turned to Chomper and the others. "Chomper, you mind watching this sleeping area?" he asked. "Oh yeah, stay out of their 'rock nests'," he said, gesturing to the two cars.

"We should also take the keys to your cars just in case," Frank said to james and dan.
"I agree littlefoot and his friends excluding ruby if she comes with us should watch the camp." he said.

Dima02 · **Reply #635 on:** December 05, 2010, 03:30:10 PM

"No," Ruby replied defiantly, "Not if I can't Watch Chomper. I promised his parents that I'd take care of him, and a promise is a promise. How am I supposed to watch Chomper if I can't see him?"
Chomper was moved by Ruby's responsibility. "If Ruby is going, I'm going too. And you guys should come with me!" Chomper said, gesturing at Littlefoot and the rest of the gang.

Dan nods, "You're right, we should take our car keys. I should pick a few things to bring along also." Dan said thinking of what stuff he should bring along in a backpack.

"Have you kids been in the mysterious beyond much? Do you think we should ask anyone else to come along?" Dan said to those present.

f-22 "raptor" ace · **Reply #637 on:** December 05, 2010, 11:21:21 PM

"We've been out there a few times," Littlefoot said.

Serris · **Reply #638 on:** December 06, 2010, 01:33:03 AM

"Okay, then you're welcome to come," James said, zipping up the last backpack. He took one backpack for himself and handed the two others to Dan and Frank.

He then went up and locked his SUV.

"Erm, maybe we should let their parents know," Deimos said. He had broken off a large tree branch to use as a walking stick.

Petrie shook his head, "What if Cera dad get angry and growl like mean fast biter?" He said, a bit fearful of the idea, pulling his wings and arms close to himself.
