Every trip can be that kind of trip if you set it up right.
[ One more suggestive smile goes with that, then she figures she can let it rest. This is business, after all. Revenge is always a matter worth doing right. She keeps her eye on the sea to their left, seen as glimpses of blue through the trees. She just needs a few of the right landmarks, and she can turn inland from there. ]
So what'd I miss, anyway? I saw the jewel-TV stuff, but aside from all that. Anything good?
Sounds like you've seen most of the fireworks already, then.
[Most of the excitement had come from the recording Kolitra had broadcast to the crew, the news Rin had brought back from the lone Dakal "survivor." He'd sat out the magical internet shouting, but he'd kept an eye on it. It was pretty hard to miss.]
Wasn't a lot more to miss, unless you like scavenger hunts and ship repairs. [Water had been a bigger problem than food, but it had still been a pretty lean week until they'd dug up a way out.] This side of the pond must have missed out on the industrial revolution, though. It was one big soggy steel ghost town over there.

Oh, yeah, seriously? [ That's worth an impressed glance over. ] Shit, I wish I'd been with you guys! I really miss technology. Even shitty old technology would be fine, I don't think they even have wheels yet over here.
[ That might be an exaggeration, she's almost sure she saw a wheelbarrow the other day. But they're about 8,000 years away from a cellphone, so her complaint feels legitimate. ]
[Almost all of it, anyway. The shotgun seems to be in working order, (just in time for the rumors of zombie cats,) the ship had come back online eventually. But most of what they'd found was too water damaged or too old and rusted to be of use. Shame, really, because he's with her. Jason's always been a city boy at heart.]
Guess there's less pressure to go inventing the wheel when you've got enough superpowers to fall back on.
