MIS:166: Travel Plans

Synopsis

The Little Bastards prepare to move, but it seems like Arc bested the rest of the members and already did so

Okay, so this job was a dud for the thieves. They'll return everything and start moving on to the next place. This brings them to look over the map, which I'm excited and surprised that I'm only showing it for the first time now. This is, for the record, not a world map. It's the continent. And we also won't visit every country on the map within the story (though we may meet people from many, if not all, of them).

Anyway, the yellow country that is marked up a bit is Rose Kingdom, where the story has more or less taken place so far. South Rose is naturally in the southern part of Rose. The black circle there shows were they are. The scratchy lines in the north depict what was affected by the Obliteration of North Rose. And then Bonnie adds a green circle to the west, highlighting the port town they're planning to go to. Don't worry if you're not good with geography; I wanted to share this more for context rather than because it's imperative to know. If you like maps, have fun. If not, don't sweat it.

Plus I actually drew this map, and I wanted to show it off. XD

But getting to the drama of this one. Arc, our littlest thief, has disappeared. With one of the stolen items too! She didn't exit through the front door, as Rhys and Jude would have seen her. The window in her room is open, but that seems like a pretty rough drop... onto pavement. Harley seems to not be worried about that part, though!?

Where could she have gone? And why?

Bonnie:

Sorry this didn't pan out, boys.

Jude:

It's all right. You win some, you lose some. Comes with the territory.

Rhys Nevins:

Where do we go next? Keep going north? I can’t really read maps, but it looks like we shouldn’t have to worry about hitting North Rose any time soon.

Rhys is looking at a map of the continent

Jude:

We've still got a ways to go before that. But maybe we should play it safe and go west. We can find a port town and just get out of Rose Kingdom entirely.

Bonnie:

I’m all for going west and leaving Rose behind us. It’ll take some time to get there, but we can probably take off from Port Lotus here.

Jude:

On foot, that’s probably going to take over a month. Considering stops for food, rest, and maybe a couple scores along the way, we may be looking at three months.

Bonnie:

Sounds like a plan to me.
