Mozz shook his head “It’s not that we can’t split up. However, most of us haven’t arrived, so we at least need a way to keep in contact. Does anyone have a cell phone, walkie talky, or telepathic communication ability I should be aware of?”
He waited a moment for a show of hands
“I you have any of these things, my watch can pick them up. Just tell me how I can reach you.”

"Same old same old." Aiolos said, dismissing all the marble snatching, twister inducing business he went through with the wave of a hand, "Playing the same old song on a different day." He could tell Mozz about what he's been up to after this whole thing blew over.
At the mention of teams, he pointed at Mozz and the familiar man. "I've worked with Mozz before, and the other guy- I think. So I'm coming along with them. Anyone else up for a walk through town?"
"And I got nothing." Aiolos said, "I keep telling myself to get a cell phone but..." He shrugged.

"Nav-wrist, best invention since fermentation." Joseph held up his arm to show the large screened thingy on his wrist, "I can use it get in contact with you guys or even call in some supply drops. Speaking of which, we probably should set up a base of operations somewhere in the city. How about one team investigate the resid..."
Interupted by a string of cursing.
"You ok kid?" Joseph turned to Kael.

Gambion flipped out his cell phone and gave the number to Mozz. "Probably not as good as all these devices everyone else seems to have." He said, eying his phone. "Of course, it's probably a good deal cheaper."
Setting up a base seemed like a good idea, but Gambion didn't feel like he would be much help with it at all. His time would be better spent going out and looking for survivors.
"Well I'll form up a group to go to the residential district, whoever wants to come tell me now and we'll set out soon."

"I'll... Uh, go along..." Delays while speaking were more from sending awkward, confused looks in Kael's general direction than from Lah being reluctant. He actually wanted to go see the Residential District, now that he'd got here. The place was too odd to not want to investigate now.

"...ano.." came the timid reply behind Mozz. "..I have a jPhone...will that work?" The jPhone, 'produce'd by a well known Japanese company obsessed with fruit, was a combination of their famed mp3 player, the jPod, and their latest efforts into the telecommunications market, a 3G, GSM-based cellphone, all running their latest software, Kiwi OS Z v10.5.2 - aka Kiwi Wolpertinger.
She held up the device, which had various anime characters dangling from it in place of a strap. It was mint green, with a darker, grass-stain green bunny-face pattern repeating over its surface. There was a thin cord extending from the headphone jack, which disappeared into her jacket bundle, which she'd yet to take off. She was no longer retreating into the protective barrier though, so her words weren't muffled.
"..ano, what are we talking about...?"

“Well that sounds like the plan then, that’s Jacknife, Aiolos and myself and possibly another. Anyone interested in joining the Heroes of Radiant?” He pointed his thumb at his chest as he did so his confidence coming back within the warmth of the unity field. “If not, then I suppose we’ll head out.” he handed a sheet of paper to Joseph “This has all the ways you can contact me. Don’t hesitate if there looks like trouble.”
His head swung back to his friends who seemed rearing to go. “ It sounds like we’re heading to the residential district. Contact me when you have base set up or before if you need something.”
Smiling Mozz took the girl'sphone for a moment and entered in his number, Gambion’s, and Matthias’s. “You’re all ready to go miss. You have all the numbers I have. As for what we’re talking about, we’re getting some scouting operations started.”

Kael didn't notice for a moment, poking into a building and returning from snarling to muttering to himself quietly- until he stepped back out and saw Joseph looking at him.
That took a moment to process. Yeah, he'd been talking to him.
"Yeah, fine as anyone else here is. 'suming all this magic tingle s**t isn't rearranging our guts or something."
This guy also looked familiar for some reason though.
He set his jaw tight and meandered back towards everyone else, wound up tight but keeping his language in check. Quite possibly why his jaw seemed to be set tight enough to grind stone.
"...don't trust it. Just antsy."
He took one last good look at Joseph, and then tried to shrug that wierd feeling off at least, and took a glance at this gadget he was showing off.

"I"ll stay and set up a base of operations if you all really believe we need to make one, though I may very well need one more to stay with me to help get everything set up." Raymond added in, glad that there was a task that didn't involve traipsing into the unknown. Sure, he could set a suitable base of operations here in this crap hole of a set of homes...but if possible better conditions would be preferable, such as a nice home or a store. These houses, if you could call them houses, didn't look that great.

Joseph just waved at Kael with a shiteating grin as it looked at him funny.
"Ray, we'll move a bit farther into the city first. Need to pick a good location to call in the robot team, build us some stuff, drop us some crap down." He stretched a bit, "How about we head down to the residential with the rest of them and I'll start setting up as they look?"

"...hai, thanks~" Eileen said from within her bundle of clothing, which she was now carefully beginning to remove. "ano, i'll stay with the others... but please let me know if you guys need help." Her barely audible voice continued, "...i used to be a communications officer you know~. ganbatte on your scouting operations!"

"Well then, let's get moving." Gambion said, tugging on all his straps and whatnot to make sure they were in place and comfortable. He ran his hand along the hilt of the saber on his back, making sure it was loose enough to come free of the scabbard if he needed it.
"Whoever's coming with, let's go have some fun."
He turned toward the direction Joseph had indicated was towards the residential district, and headed out.

Lah took to inspecting his weaponry and such while everyone was talking, keeping a full count of everything he had. Fifteen crossbow bolts on his waist, forty arrows in the quiver. Suppose it was actually seventeen crossbow bolts, actually, considering the already-loaded Left and Right.
Then it was showtime. Standing up and scratching the back of his head, he followed behind Mozz, hands jammed in his pockets.

"Right behind ya." Aiolos grinned. He had a tin flute in one hand and a knife in the other, "Down the rabbit hole we go."
He waved a hand to all that were following, and started with Gambion.

Joseph was right, it would be a bit silly to place their base of operations on the far side of Frostchild. That meant they weren’t going to split up just yet, which he was fine with. He nodded to JB.
“Lets hurry up then, finding a good place to set up camp is going to be important while we investigate Frostchild. If everyone is ready to go, the residential area is this way.”
Footslogging had always been Mozz’s preferred form of transportation and you could see it in the way his face seemed to brighten up the farther he got from the snowmobile. He’d always disliked vehicles, most notably when he had to drive them.
