[Linda is sitting on a bench in the garden when she activates the feed. she's dressed casually in a coat and jeans, though her right hand visibly has a bandage around it. she looks tired, and she's obviously fallen in some mud at some point today as well]

Anybody else having trouble learning to ride their animals? [there's weariness in her tone. but a thought occurs to her then, and she adds:] Are many people going to be in the race? I know it's optional.

[while the mud is a result of her rocky attempts to learn to ride a "yoshi," her burned hand isn't. it's been a busy day, starting with testing forcefields with Agent K to try to find one like the dome followed by her riding session on the farm. needless to say, relaxing for a bit chatting with friends strikes her as a good way to end an exhausting day]

Yeah, I shot things for a little bit but then hid in a hole before I could be blown up again or run out of bullets.

And then I went home to make sure everything was actually all healed up.

Did most of the rest go okay?

Found the witch. Dead.

[vengeance_driven]

Like a long time dead or new stinky dead?

[ewestmarch]

Skeleton. At least three weeks, and intact - so, not a creeper.

Bellic, do you reincarnate or something?

[vengeance_driven]

I'm just very good at surviving. That was nothing compared to some things I live through.

Maybe she died long ago, but was kept safe because the swamps are strange. Not many could get past those monsters, and her house didn't show during the day.

[ewestmarch]

Really?

...Now that's handy. I wonder how she did that.

[vengeance_driven]

It was more that it was lit up at night. With the trees, we could not see it. And there were voices trying to tell us not to go that direction. I don't think she wanted to be found.

[Though hearing Kate really did mess with him.]

[ewestmarch]

Or a residual security spell she never got to deactivate.

She liked her privacy. Or she wouldn't have lived in a swamp.

[vengeance_driven]

It sounds like the others had more dangerous defense systems than hers.

[ewestmarch]

I haven't been keeping up. How many others?
