Honestly, knowing this place, they've probably got some kinda stupid barrier out there, like. "Sorry, the rest of the ocean is still under construction".
...OK, well. Don't know 'til you try, so let's give it a shot and see what happens, at least! If it doesn't seem like we're making progress after a couple of hours I'm gonna turn us back around though, I'm not lettin' us get stranded out there.
[ it is probably really hard to know if you're going straight when you're out in the water surrounded by more water and can only see water and if he was thinking ahead he'd maybe try to get a compass or something but he doesn't. it's impulse week.
anyway, the canoe gets rented and a bag of jerky and four water bottles are acquired, so now we're at the shore and it's just a matter of figuring out how to set this up. ]
OK, so you're doing the board thing? Or did you wanna try to squeeze in?
We can probably like, make a big loop with the rope through the handles on the boat to make a thing to hold onto.

[ as i watch the mod questions channel to find out... ]
I guess I can always run back and grab one o' those swan boats if not. [ ... ] Really oughtta get some food too if we're planning a whole long thing.

[ they're healthy! and there's juice in them, too, so they won't starve or die of dehydration ]
I was thinking to travel light, so you didn't have as much to tow, but I guess it's different if we had a boat.
no subject
Yeah, we always got those! Wanna grab some protein and bottled water too though, probably.
[ looking at that rope again ]
What was your plan, exactly?
no subject
[ it's a very simple plan. we can still do it. ]
no subject
[ had more than enough drowning here already.
and I GUESS THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE?? so. idk it's got a rope thing built in, maybe hanako can just hang onto to that while on the board. ]
no subject
Alright. ...Do you think we can make it? All the way across the ocean?

We can try in the dead of night, where they can't see us to catch us.

Remember when we thought it was just a fake moon that was hiding some guys on it that we could just blow up?
[ the good old days ]

[ except they have to eat the moon, somehow ]

Okay! We won't get lost if we just head straight out from shore!

[ it'd be kind of like surfing, except on a boat ]
It wouldn't be a bad idea to tie the rope to the boat anyways, and also ourselves, like a lifeline. I don't think I can swim.
no subject
[ well now he's a lot more concerned about rowing out a long way??? ]
In that case you're definitely squeezing in here, c'mon. Just stay close so I don't whack ya with the paddle.
no subject
I don't know if I can swim, but probably not? Tama gave me tips on floating, though. She says you gotta starfish.
