Woods. Guess it's a good thing neither of us are afraid of heights. [Even if Dave's quiet and his smiles are rare John's eager enough for the both of them. Dave's off the well and John begins leading them to the forest.] If they are birds they might be in really tall trees.

Probably like birds of prey. Hawks or something. Do you think we should check by the ocean first then? For cliffs. [That would make more sense, at least.]

Then we're going the wrong way. [He gives him a little grin.] My house is by the ocean right now. I think it has to do with being sorted into the blue district or something? I haven't really figured that part out.

Do you think it means we have to stay where we were split off to? [He follows along, taking the lead just slightly as they head for Bluo.] I've wondered that.

Maybe it is worth experimenting with. You, me, Terezi and Vriska are all split up by red and blue anyway. [To the cliffs.] How far did you move?

[That implication is pretty clear, bro.]

Oh. [..well. He goes quiet and just heads for Bluo, toward the ocean and away from town.]

Maybe the harpies won't be so bad when we get there.

Fuck no. [Cheerful as ever.] That was just an example, I think I would rather live with the harpies. What was the phrasing of the quest itself again?

Okay, well, hunt does not necessarily mean kill at least so maybe there's something we can do about that. Like capture them and move them or something.

[Like he'll murder the harpies when harpies attack first, but.]

We would definitely win bird tag. But also I don't know. The whole thing is pretty vague so maybe it does not matter how we complete the quest as long as we're technically hunting them? We'll find out when we get there and find them.

It does make you wonder what else is out there though.

Mermaids in the ocean...if there are dragons here I kind of vote on not telling Terezi. Same deal goes for if we come across giant spiders of any kind.

Hm...[He seems to find the question funny though.] Skeletons. Or zombies, I guess, if we are going with things that probably should not exist here.

Like real ones that move on their own and stuff. [They're flying pretty steadily and once they hit the beach and the coast he looks up a little.]

...check it out. Cliffs.

I've never understood how you can hate nature. [A grin. He floats a little higher, too, not knowing these are definitely the wrong cliffs.] Think we'll have any luck here?
