Snippet #2357360

Andromeda stepped forward to help by giving the canoe a little push. This allowed her to inconspicuously put her face near Corki’s for just a second. “Talk to me, later” she told her, quietly. If she was going crazy, sharing that information with one person would be bad enough.

Speaking aloud, she waved at the two avatars in the boat. “See you soon! Or very soon, and very wet!” She laughed. Wading back onto the beach, she muttered “ew, wet” and “ew, sticky sand”.

The boat crossed the river without any problems. The only purpose the paddle appeared to serve was to make it go a bit faster than the boat was already moving by itself. A torch lit on the other shore, making visible two empty poles like the ones the masks had been on, and an empty vase next to the beginning of a path into more forest. Even the avatars remaining on the first beach could see all of those objects, with some difficulty, and draw their conclusions.
